I can’t believe how quickly Christmas snuck up on me, does anyone else feel the same way? Anyway, I’m such a procrastinator with my Christmas makeup post, but here it is!
To me, nothing screams Christmas more than a vibrant red lip. So to downplay the red lipstick, I created a subtle bronze smokey eye with my Smashbox Full Exposure Palette (which by the way, is full of glittery colors that are perfect for the holidays!). On the lid is a deep golden shimmery brown and on the outer lid is the darkest shimmery brown. I packed on each shade with a wet brush to get the full-on glittery effect. My lower lash line is lined with the darkest shimmery brown and I placed the lightest shimmer shade in my inner tear duct.
Since my eyes and lips were pretty dramatic, I tried to keep my skin dewy and fresh with the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, and NARS Laguna Bronzer.
Last but not least, my lipstick is the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in 69. This lipstick is so creamy, pigmented, and hydrating – it never leaves my lips dry!
Hope you like the look and let me know if you plan on recreating it on Christmas! Also, since I’m feeling extra festive, enjoy the couple of extra pics of my Christmas tree. 🙂

Gorgeous! What a good tip about keeping the skin light with a bold lip and strong eyes – always wondered how to do both at the same time without looking overdone! 🙂 Also loving the sweater.
Thank you! Your makeup looked amazing last Friday, your skin always looks so dewy and fresh! Loved the lipstick you wore as well. 🙂
Yes, finally posted the holiday entry! I’m excited to see what’s in store for you in 2014.
Thank you so much for you support!!! Will you be wearing a red lip to your Christmas party?? 🙂
