Christmas party season is upon us. You have your clothes, shoes and bags sorted out, next is to decide on your beauty look, as the finishing touch.

Because it is a party season and a time to glitter, you are allowed to go for a bold, trend-inspired look, complete with graphic eyeliner or glitter lips. Otherwise, you can opt for a classic, tried-and-tested party look and glow with the season. Here are party beauty looks to inspire you this Christmas.

 

1. Red Lips

There is nothing more glamorous than red lips. The bright scarlet shade has the power to make anyone look like a movie star; all you need do is find the right tone for you. Few things are as timeless and classic as the red lips.

 

 

2. Metallic Eyes

Nothing quite says festive like shades of sparkly gold, bronze and silver, mainly if there is also glitter involved. The party-ready hues look great swept on the eyelids to dramatic effect, make sure you brush some into the corners of the eye and underneath the lash line too, for the ultimate glam look.

 

3. Bombshell Waves

Often paired with a statement lip, retro waves are a classic beauty look for the lone fact that they are universally flattering and straightforward to create with a good pair of straighteners.

 

 

4. Simple Up ‘Do

Christmas is such a frantic time that it can be challenging to find the energy to fuss over hairstyles. Yet if you want to look fantastic, then one of the best beauty tips you can master is the art of simple hairdos. Sweeping your hair up, in a glossy but straightforward up-do style is the best way to go. This look is elegant, simple and more importantly, easy to manage.

 

5. GET YOUR MANICURE RIGHT

When it comes to your hands, your manicure should be impeccable. Avoid glittery glazes, especially after a certain age. Pick classic colours that are adequately eye-catching like red, pink or burgundy. And if you intend to wear sandals, do not forget the varnish on your toenails.

 

6. Blue Eyeliner

This blue underliner on Gabrielle Union is the easiest way to add some colour to your look if the rest of your makeup is low-key. Pair it with filled-in brows and a nude lip, and you are good to go.
