Your Make-Up Inspiration Guide for Every Holiday
There’s no occasion quite like a holiday for you to get into your make-up bag. For even the most amateur make-up lovers, the holidays are an incredible way to bring creativity and show your skill level. In the spirit of celebration, Capture Cosmetic’s beauty experts put together make-up inspiration for your favorite holidays.
Valentine’s Day Sunset Eyes
Sunset eyes are a beautiful spin on the classic smokey eye, but for this look, you’ll want to start with a beige base so the shadow can cling. Use a pink palette with a shimmery accent and have fun. Layer the range of pink, mauves, and reds and blend with your best blending brushes. Top off the eyes with a black liner and mascara and pair with a neutral, coral, or soft pink lip.
St. Patrick’s Day Seeing Green
Seeing Green is the perfect look if you’re stepping out for St. Patrick’s Day or just feel like manifesting more green in your life. Dust an emerald or chartreuse shadow over your lid and use a fluffy brush to create an airy illusion. Pair with a nude, orange, or peachy lip.
Independence Day A Patriotic Slay
Start with a red base for the red eye and a blue base for the blue eye. Use a palette that offers a range of shades for each pigment. Apply each shade blending as you move through the palette. Add a shimmer shadow to the crease and outline with a white liner. Aim for a red lip or keep it subtle with a nude.
Thanksgiving Day Magic
Thanksgiving is a great occasion to amplify your fall spirit and get as creative or relaxed as you like. Try this look by lining the eyes with a colored liner; cool colors are a great contrast to warm fall hues. Make it natural with a light contour and dust a pink blush on the cheeks. Finish the look with a soft neutral lip.
Christmas Glitz
When it comes to Christmas, don’t shy away from the glitz and glamour of the holiday. For this look, you’ll need eyeshadow glue and chunky glitter. Apply the eyeshadow glue over the lid and gently stick the glitter to the eye. Use a smooth black eyeliner to create the classic cat-eye and don’t forget your waterline. Keep the lip neutral, so the eyes are the focus.
New Year’s Eve Vibes
New Year’s Eve is one of the most glamorous holidays to celebrate. Affectionally called the “spotlight eye,” to get this look take a shadow shade of your choice and blend the darker value on the outer and inner corners of the eye. Dab a shimmery shadow right in the center and crease. The eye is versatile and can be paired with a neutral glossy lip or depending on the occasion a bold plum or pink.
