Time to make a sensational appearance

Festive occasions are always exciting. They are wonderful times of big surprises and little secrets – and the moment to make a unique and striking appearance. We want to shine, to appear in the best light for those we care about and to please ourselves by looking simply elegant and full of selfconfidence. However, many women want to set themselves apart without being over the top and aim for a look that is festive without being too classic. To meet these wishes, internationally renowned Dr. Hauschka make-up-artist Karim Sattar has developed a festive make-up look for these special occasions. He places a spotlight on the most expressive features, the eyes and the mouth. In addition to a very even complexion, the look is dominated by light ivory on the eyelids and black eyeliner around the eyes, underscored by volumising black mascara on the lashes. For an expressive contrast Karim uses a warm red on the lips, with lipliner in the same colour providing dynamic accents.

Follow Karim step-by-step:

The foundation

Begin with an even complexion “We start with Dr.Hauschka Translucent Make-up 00 porcelain. This colour serves as a foundation to make the face appear lighter and bring out its radiance. We follow this with Translucent Make-up in a different shade to conceal redness and minor imperfections. Select the colour that best matches your natural skin tone. Concealer 01 can be used to cover up any blemishes or rings under the eyes – it may be helpful to apply it to the entire nose and mouth area as well. To set the creamy make-up, use the powder puff to pat Translucent Face Powder compact evenly onto the face. This results in a more even, balanced complexion and gives you a longer-lasting look.”

Sun-kissed highlights

“In wintertime Dr. Hauschka Bronzing Powder adds charm to your look, as though you have been kissed by the sun. With Bronzing Powder on the Powder Brush, begin in the middle of the forehead and
work your way down to the chin using circular motions – first on one side, then the other. Bronzing Powder is also ideal for adding contours to the face, giving it a more harmonious appearance. If your face is round, for example, you can use the Powder Brush to apply it to the lower cheek area. To determine the right placement, use the cheekbone as your guide and apply the powder about one thumb-width below it. Then, working from the edge of the face inwards, spread the powder as far as the side of your nose.”

Glowing checks

“To keep the focus on the eyes and lips, we only apply a touch of rouge. But the cheeks should still have a healthy glow. We achieve this with Rouge Powder 04 soft terracotta. Starting at the temples, blend it down towards the top of the cheekbones. For a festive glow, use Eyeshadow 09 ivory to apply shimmering highlights to the temples and cheeks.”

Glamorous eyes

“This look showcases the eyes, although make-up is only applied to the upper lid. I have selected a
pale shade for the lid and dark tones for the contours. Apply Eyeshadow 09 ivory to the entire upper
lid, blending it upwards past the lid crease to fade to the brow. Accentuate the crease of the eyelid
using 02 light brown from the Dr. Hauschka Eyeshadow palette, applying the colour back and forth
in a gentle curve along the crease to create a light shadow.

Round off the look using the darkest shade from the Eyeshadow palette, 04 anthracite. Use the Eye
Definer Brush to dab this colour along the upper lashline, where it should be followed by liquid black
eyeliner. Apply using the Eye Definer Brush starting at the middle of the upper lashline, first dabbing
towards the inner corner of the eye and then from the middle towards the outside. Once in place, the
eyeshadow serves as a helpful guide for applying Eyeliner liquid black. This should now be dabbed over the eyeshadow, first working inwards from the middle and then, after turning the brush, outwards from the middle. Finish by using Eyeliner to draw a curve upwards along the outer lashline. Finally, apply Volume Mascara black to the lashes. Depending on the desired intensity, brush onto the upper lashes up to three times; the lower lashes should only be brushed once lightly.

The colours 02 light brown, 03 soft grey and 04 anthracite from the Eyeshadow palette can also be
used to fill in the eyebrows. Select the shade that best matches your hair colour. Brush the eyeshadow gently into the eyebrows to highlight and shape them. Special tip: Dr. Hauschka Eye Balm adds an extra sparkle. Simply place a small amount on a brush and work it into the eyebrows.”

Warm red lips

“First, use Lipliner 02 warm red to contour the lower lip, then press the lips together firmly. This leaves an impression on the contour of the upper lip that can easily be intensified. Next, fill in the lips completely using Lipliner. This sets the lipstick and lends more depth to its colour. It also keeps the lipstick from running. Now apply Lipstick 04 warm red to the entire lower lip, press the lips together, and
apply again to completely cover the lips. Repeat these steps. Next, blot using a cosmetic tissue, leave it on the lips and apply powder to the lips using a powder puff. Remove the tissue and repeat the application using the Lip Brush and a fresh amount of Lipstick 04.

Finishing touch

Special finishing tip: Use Dr. Hauschka Facial Toner to set your make-up, spraying lightly onto the face
from a distance of some 30 centimetres.
