Holiday makeup - The eyes

All about Holiday festive Make-up > The eyes

This year experience the enchantment of a decadent city holiday where days are filled with holiday shopping and nights with cocktail parties and galas. As you move from townhouse to penthouse, candlelit windows sparkle and shimmer off of satin draped fabrics and holiday lights stand out in bold celebration of the season.

No one wants a makeup meltdown. To keep your face looking fresh and at its best, there are a few simple rules to follow.
 

Preparing
Holiday makeup - The eyes 1

Your eyes look tired? Clarins suggests its eye Contour Gel to keep your eyes looking bright, rested and illuminated. A very lightweight, refreshing, non-oily gel which visibly reduces undereye puffiness and dark circles to brighten and refresh the eyes.

Colorize

Create a bold festive look or a more subtle style to suit every mood, every desire, every moment.

Warm tones, pinky tones and golden tones are the favorite.

An exclusive creation, inspired by the opulence and magic of the Roaring Twenties, the Chanel palette is composed of five contrasting, light-catching shades. Ranging from platinum beige and bronze, to shimmering black, rose gold, and diamond white, these precious, sequin-embossed eyeshadows offer a vibrant tribute to Gabrielle Chanel's spectacular dresses and light up the eyes, for a bewitching makeup look.

This holiday season, the Diorshow 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette invites you to take an enchanted stroll through the Tuileries Garden: Choice between the Promenade Dorée 543 eyeshadow harmony with luminous hues of bronze and gold accented by a silver shade or Night Walk 043 with silvery and black tones that contrast with a radiant golden hue.

For a bold look
Apply the medium shade on the entire eyelid with the round foam tip to open up the eyes, and then the darker shade along the lashline with the liner tip for definition. Blend over the entire eyelid and outward using the brush. Use the round foam tip to highlight with the lighter shade beneath the brow arch and at the inner corner of the eye to create even greater contrast and structure.

To enhance your eyes in the winter darkness, try the Lancôme precision point eyeliner Artliner to sublimate your lighter to more intense eye look.

Sothys suggests the Intense look eye pencil - A ‘vinyl’ effect liner pencil in her winter collection "Bleu envoûtant". To revive and refresh the eyes apply small dabs of Stylo Illuminator on the brow bone for magnified eyes and on the inner corner of the eye for more radiant eyes.

Open your eyes

Choose a mascara that can thick, curve and lenght all in one.
If you have round eyes, apply mascara only on your upper lashes.

To open your eyes, wiggle the mascara wand left to right at the base of your lashes. Mascara that is placed near the roots of the lash provides the greatest amount of “length”. Then pull the mascara wand through your lashes, “wiggling” it a little as you go. This wiggling motion is important — it acts to separate your lashes.

Do you dream of having long and thick eyelashes like movie stars without having to use false eyelashes that you must position properly, extensions that you have to pay on a regular basis? Try Monsieur Big by Lancôme up to 24 hour wear or Lash Idôle aso by Lancôme.

Long, black, voluminous eyelashes are every woman’s dream. As each has its own lash structure, they sometimes lack a bit of curl and length. The ready-made solution is eyelash curling tweezers. It's easy, quick and the result is obvious. You can also try the Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara from Benefit Cosmetics.

Don't forget your eyebrows

Groom brows with comb. If you need to correct the line, work the eyebrow with two shades of pencil.

Hair is made up of different colours, explains Max Herlant, so to recreate a natural eyebrow, I work with two pencils, a light shade and a slighter darker one.

I use light, feathery strokes with each pencil and then blend the two shades together.
