Get Glam in 30 minutes: A step-by-step guide to our holiday season makeover
Step 1
Apply base cream all over. Use a brush to apply foundation and then blend with a sponge for a completely even application. Use concealer for point application to hide any obvious spots or blemishes.
Step 2
Apply powder to set the foundation. Use a brush for a natural look or a cotton puff for more coverage. Apply a warm-tone blush, such as a dark peach, to the cheekbones, for a subtle rosy look full of life.

Step 3
Take your fourth finger and apply a base color such as a subtle peach all over the eyelid up to the brow bone. Then apply a slightly shimmery silver eye shadow to your eyelids and blend edges with the base color.
Step 4
Using black eyeliner, trace the upper lash line, drawing the outer ends slightly thicker. Curl lashes and apply a few coats of black mascara. Line lips and fill them in with an appropriate shade of red.
Step 5
Add a touch of pink blush to the apples of the cheeks. Apply bronzer into the hairline, along the jaw line and under the cheekbones to blend in with the blush. At this stage the look is nearly finished.
Step 6
Apply a light shimmer powder to highlight the brow bone, bridge of the nose, inner corner of the eyes, upper cheekbone and chin.
Step 7
Dust on a translucent powder to keep your makeup looking fresh all evening, and you’re ready for the festive party season.
