Charlotte Tilbury's Festive Glamour

To really embrace the festive spirit, add a little bit of glamour to your makeup look. Start with Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation and that adds a bit of sparkle with the Instant Eye Palette and define with the Pillow Talk Beautifying Eye Filter. Now for lips, we recommend something bold and high-gloss and to finish use the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray for a long-lasting makeup look.

Bobbi Brown's Classic Christmas

Is there anything more festive than a Christmassy red lip and a soft glam eye? For this look, we're starting with Bobbi Brown's gorgeous Day & Light Palette and using the shade Antique Rose across the hold lid. For a bit of festive sparkle, apply either Pink Quartz or Showstopper to the centre of the lids and the corners of the eyes and finish with a few layers of the Smokey Eye Mascara. For a touch of drama, apply the Luxe Shine Intense Lipstick in Supernova to the lips (it's high shine and long-lasting so, its ideal for party season). To tie the look together, brush the Shimmer Brick across your cheekbones, bridge of your nose and brow bones.

MAC's No-Makeup Makeup

If you want to keep things light but still look like you've in a bit more effort than usual, than the minimal makeup trend is perfect for you. For this look, we're turning to MAC's Eye Love Surprises Eye Shadow Palette X6: Sparkling Wine Splash. Featuring six shimmery and matte shades that can be worn together in several ways to create a beautiful, natural-looking eye. To create a bit more of a finished look, use your finger to lightly blend a MAC lipstick (of your choice) onto your lips.
