With new makeup trends constantly evolving, one look that always makes a comeback during the festive season is the iconic festive glam look. This look features a metallic shadow on the eyelids and a rich burgundy on the lips, creating a stunning effect. However, the makeup world is constantly changing, and new trends and techniques are emerging. In this ultimate guide, we will show you how to create the perfect festive glam look with some of our favorite techniques.

Perfecting that Base!

Winter often brings dry skin, which can be a challenge when applying makeup. It is essential to take extra time to care for your skin and keep it hydrated. One way to achieve a glowy finish is to use a base such as Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter underneath your foundation. This will give your skin a stunning glow and a medium coverage glowy foundation. You can still set your makeup with powder, but don't forget to add back in that hydrated finish with a spritz of your favorite setting spray.Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter – €50BPerfect Chroma Cover Foundation – €22.95

Blonzing

Blush and bronzer are crucial for adding color to the skin. Rhode Pocket Blush Toasted Teddy is a gorgeous blush shade that is perfect for this time of year. It is a super muted terracotta shade that gives the skin a natural pop of color without creating a line of bronzer and blush. For a more defined blush, go for Fenty Cheeks Out Big Melons Blush.Rhode Pocket Blush Toasted Teddy – €32Fenty Cheeks Out Big Melons Blush – €20

Eyes to impress!

The eyeshadow is the centerpiece of this look. Start by dusting a light amount of bronzer into the crease of your eye and softly blending it up towards your temple. You can build up the color with darker shadows for a more intense look. Our new obsession is Urban Decay eyeshadow in the shade Space Cowboy, which is a light beige color with incredible glitter and shimmer. Pack this onto your lid for a stunning effect. Use a burgundy pencil liner to draw a short, thin line from the end of your eye to the end of your eyebrow and smudge it out with a small brush to create a soft wing that will make blue or green eyes pop.Urban Decay Space Cowboy Moondust Eyeshadow – €22Hildun Beauty Mythical Romance Eyeshadow Quad – €25

Perfect pout

We are currently in love with a darker lip liner blended into a lighter shade in the middle to create an ombre effect. Penneys' lipliner in the shade Toast is only 80c and is stunning. Use a lighter lipstick to blend the edges and cover the rest of the lip. Top it off with your favorite gloss, such as Kiko Hydra Gloss in N31, and you are ready to go.Ps.
