Our beauty tips for your Christmas and New Year photos!

Christmas and New Year photos are often collector's items and allow us to keep beautiful memories with family or friends. This is why it is essential to take care of your makeup for the occasion.

During the holidays, we can allow ourselves more extravagance and originality in our beauty. But, we must respect one golden rule: your makeup must enhance your beauty in your photos. It is therefore essential to achieve makeup that will last all evening and that will highlight your natural assets.

Take care of your complexion

Unifying and caring for your complexion is an essential step in any successful make-up.

Hide your little imperfections

To even out your complexion, you will need to start by making your dark circles or redness disappear using a corrector or concealer that is slightly lighter than your skin tone. For matte or dark skin, opt for a slightly orange concealer.

Use a mattifying foundation

To avoid the shine effect on your photos as much as possible, opt for a matte foundation that is as close as possible to your skin color. A little tip: remember to apply some on your ears.

Finally, remember to moisturize your skin well with a moisturizer, because dry skin will tend to absorb your foundation. Which can make it fade more quickly.

Put on highlighter

Highlighter is also an essential makeup accessory for a fresh and luminous complexion. Apply it to the bridge of the nose, the cupid's bow, the cheekbones and above the eyebrow arches. This will allow you to obtain a natural look and a healthy glow.

Finish your complexion makeup with a setting spray

Often sold in the form of a spray, it is applied once your beauty treatment is finished. It mattifies your skin and allows you to keep an intact complexion for longer.

Focus on the beauty of your eyes

During the evening, the color of your lipstick can quickly fade, so focus on your eyes.

Redraw your eyebrows

For a harmonious and skillfully highlighted face, the line of your eyebrows must be perfect. Redraw their shape and thickness using an eyebrow pencil . Use the different markers defining the ideal shape they should have. For example:

• The beginning of your eyebrow should start at the straight line passing through the bridge of your nose and the inner corner of your eye.
• The ideal arch is at the intersection of your eyebrow and the line through your nostril and the center of your pupil.
• Finally, the tail of your eyebrow should end on the line connecting your nostril to the outer corner of your eye.

Once your eyebrows are defined, you can perfect your makeup by applying a transparent eyebrow setting gel that will allow you to enjoy impeccable eyebrows all evening long. Don't hesitate to fill in any gaps by drawing small lines with your pencil.

If you are not a fan of make-up, consider permanent make-up . This dermopigmentation technique will give you impeccable eyebrows that you will not even need to make up anymore.

Glitter: a holiday essential

To make up your eyes, start by applying a setting gel that will allow your eyeshadow to adhere better to the skin. Gel or powder glitter is a must for the holiday season. Think about adapting the color of your makeup to the color of your eyes and the result will be just sublime. At the moment, glittery gradients are very trendy. The inner corner of the eye is generally made up with light shades. While the outer end of the eyelid is made up with darker shades. This technique enlarges the look and will highlight your eyes. Gold and glittery blue are usually the most used colors. But, nothing prevents you from innovating by testing other shades. On the other hand, certain colors should be avoided, because they have a bad rendering on the photos. This is particularly the case for pearly eyeshadow.

Black eyeliner to enhance the look

For an intense look, don't forget the eyeliner. For the holidays, you can dare to use a thicker and more striking eyeliner line than usual. Graphic and colorful eyeliner can also be a good option for the holidays, with Christmas tree, ball and garland effects on the eyelids.

Mascara: a must-have

For photos that will really show you off, don't forget the mascara. It will intensify your look and boost the volume of your lashes. For a guaranteed doe-eyed effect, think about false eyelashes. Easy to apply, they will allow you to have XXL volume lashes for an evening.
