Well made up for the holidays
Because Christmas time and holidays must rhyme with pretty little head and beautiful makeup, here are all our tips (precious) to be impec D day!

I want a red that slams ... But do not overflow

The pitch : a beautiful red mouth is good. A beautiful red mouth that does not stand well and appears on a glass of champagne, much less.

The pretty mouth solution for Christmas : to display a pesky smile on Christmas Eve or the 31st, it is better to secure his back. And prepare your lips well.

To begin, one rubs the small rough edges and other dead skin with a slight exfoliation, one applies a balm archi nourishing and then one finishes, once the active ones absorbed, by the installation of a primer. A primer? Yes, a sort of imperceptible barrier to put before the color to ensure a better hold throughout the evening or the Christmas dinner.

We then go on to the lip contour pencil (essential to define its contours and avoid spinning) and finish with a red neither too dull nor too glossy, just satin what it takes.

I want a luminous complexion ... Without looking like a faceted ball

The pitch : by dint of wanting to do too much (illuminator, powders infused with golden particles, concealer light etc.), one inevitably ends up resembling a star (fallen) of the Eighties. The parade? Inject light ... But in small doses.

The perfect dyed solution for a successful party makeup : start by applying a simple BB or CC Cream. Then, a dark circular stick is tapped from the inner corner of the eye towards the center of the pupil (never further) and is chosen with ultra-fine nacres to illuminate and optically clear the fatigue.

For the illuminator, it is useless to follow the recommendations of use (to target all the bulging points of the face) to the letter, we just apply - with very light touches - with fingertips, on the arch eyebrow and rebound of the cheekbone. And only there.

I want nails lacquered with green ... Without making Christmas tree

The pitch : the green, it is the color of varnish of winter 2014. But if, in theory, it is very pretty, with the approach of Christmas, we are a little afraid to do first degree.

The festive nail solution but chic : forget the shades of green too light! It is better to draw on the side of the ultra dark lacquers, the shades of varnish less obvious at first glance, but particularly elegant. Another possible alternative? Be content with a single nail. One therefore varnishes one of the shades (winter) of his choice (a gray mouse for example) and the 10th is shaded in ultra-shiny dark green. Delightful, unusual and chic.

I want a smoky eye bewitching ... Without plumbing the look

The pitch : a beautiful eye smoky (smoky, therefore), it always makes its small effect on Christmas Eve or New Year. But the catch with the winter is that our look is often already marked. Too bad to accentuate it more with dark shades that make more Halloween than Christmas

The solution for a look well made up for the holidays : the brown is the new black! Then we exchange our palette of gray, ebony and charcoal colors and invest in lighter colors and infused golden particles to better hang light. In the line of sight: the mahogany, the hazelnut bronze or even the bronze or even the persimmon. The right operating instructions? One begins by applying a line of greasy (and brown) pencil along the fringe of the eyelashes from the inner corner of the eye towards its end, liner way. It is then melted with a brush, rising slightly to the level of the moving eyelid. Continue with the (two) makeup. There, the darkest hue is placed on the moving eyelid, at the level of the eyelashes, and then degraded on the top of the eyelid and the external extremity of the eye. With the clearest shadow, one illuminates the inner corner of the eye and the underside of the eyebrow. To fine-tune the result: a double layer of mascara (black this time).
