Are you feeling dull and drab with your current makeup routine? With the holiday season in full swing, now is the perfect time to refresh your look and embrace products that leave your skin radiant and glowing!
Cream makeup is lightweight, natural, and easy to use - perfect for mature skin or anyone looking for that youthful, luminous finish.
Here are five simple ways to shine this holiday season:
1. Add a Brightener
A brightener is a foundation that’s slightly lighter than your skin tone and reflects light, giving you a natural glow. Apply it to the inner and outer corner under the eye, below the brow bone, down the nose, on cupid's bow and chin, and between the brows. The result? A radiant, refreshed complexion that brightens your entire look.
2. Use a Gloss Cheek Color
Powder blush can sometimes leave skin looking flat. Instead, opt for a gloss cheek color, which adds a subtle dewiness. For the holiday season, I love Ever Red - a perfect pop of festive color that complements all skin tones. It’s sheer, radiant, and ideal for creating a cheerful, flushed look. Gloss lip + cheek colors are beautiful on the lips too!
3. Warm Up with Bronzer
Give your skin a sun-kissed glow, even in the middle of winter! A cream bronzer, like Xanadu, is sheer and lightweight, warming the complexion without any orange undertones. Bonus: Xanadu is part bronzer, part Glow illuminator so it gives you an extra touch of subtle shimmer! Apply it to the perimeter of your face - along the forehead, top of nose, and chin - for a natural, radiant warmth.
4. Add Shimmer to Your Eyes
Holiday makeup calls for a touch of sparkle! A shimmer eyeshadow, applied just to the eyelids, adds a festive flair every time you blink. Choose a neutral or gold shimmer for a subtle glow, or go bold with a jewel-toned shade to make a statement at your holiday parties.
Try these festive eyeshadows for a beautiful glow: Blondie, Bright Eyes, Gold Digger, Moscow, and Cranberry,
5. Highlight with Illuminator
A powder illuminator is your secret weapon for achieving a truly radiant look. Dust it on the high points of your face - tops of the cheekbones, brow bones, down the nose, Cupid's bow, and tip of chin. For an extra pop, apply a tiny bit to the inner corners of your eyes. This simple step takes your glow to the next level and makes your eyes appear brighter and more awake.
These five simple steps work together to create a holiday-ready look that’s radiant, natural, and effortlessly chic. Cream makeup not only enhances your best features but also provides hydration and a luminous finish, making it perfect for the festive season and beyond. Whether you're attending holiday gatherings or cozying up by the fire, these tips will help you glow with confidence.
