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.
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.
Create a bold festive look or a more subtle style to suit every mood, every desire, every moment.
Intensely pink tones and golden tones are the favorite.
Guerlain - Regardez-moi
For the festive season, Violette, Guerlain Make-Up Creative Director, has been inspired by artist Shourouk Rhaiem’s rhinestone world to create the limited-edition Ombres G 888 Regarde-moi! Four shades to combine to create buildable, colourful looks:
- A satin burgundy as a liner to intensify the gaze,
- A delicate matte pink to even out the eyelid,
- An intense matte red to create an ombre blend for flamboyant eyes,
- A metallic copper to sweep along the lower lash line to brighten the eyes.
Dior - Holiday Daring Red Look
Evoking the gold of a ballroom, it reveals shimmering platinum gold tones accented with matte burgundy, reminiscent of a luxurious taffeta gown. To complete the look:
- Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin ultra glittery
- Diorshow 5 Couleurs
- Dior Forever Couture Luminizer
Chanel - Enchanted Night
The CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio and the COMETES COLLECTIVE drew inspiration from the incandescent light of the aurora borealis and the silvery glimmer of a frosty snowflake. A palette of four new, limited-edition eyeshadow and blush shades featuring pearly satin finishes.
- A fuchsia pink
- A silver top coat
- A coppery coral
- And a burnished purple-brown with blue iridescence.
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.

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.

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.
