Beauty Video Tutorial: Festive Holiday Makeup #2
A few weeks ago, I did a festive fall/Thanksgiving makeup tutorial, and this week I’m back with another festive tutorial to celebrate winter!
The holiday season is the perfect time to rock deep colored lips and frosty lids. For this makeup tutorial, I wanted it to look winter-appropriate, so I started with a pale lid with a smokey crease and added the dark burgundy lips to set it off. (I understand that not everyone loves the look of bold lips so feel free to add a nude or pink lip to fit your own personality.)
Read on to learn how to get the look!

How to Get The Look:
Products Used:
- Eye Primer – e.l.f
- Pale Pink Base – MAC
- White Frosted Color – Urban Decay
- Brown Frosted Color – Urban Decay
- Matte Brown – MAC
- Matte Beige – MAC
- White Eye Kohl – MAC
- Black Eyeliner – MAC

Tips on Wintertime Makeup:
- Look for pale colors that suit your skin tone – the same white doesn’t work for everyone, so make sure to experiment and work with your skin’s natural undertones for best results. (Cooler toned skin can do frosty pure whites, warmer skin should go for warmer beiges.)
- Line your waterline with white to make your eyes look instantly brighter on those gloomy days.
- If you apply those pale lid colors, make sure you apply mascara or your lashes will get lost.
- Be sure to keep moisturizing throughout the cool winter so your makeup will apply evenly. Also, when spring emerges, you will have nice soft skin.
Thoughts?
What’s your favorite wintertime makeup look? What is your favorite holiday? Any questions? Let me know what you think!

Hi,
O loved the tutorial! Is this a look that can be used for any type of outfits? I’m asking because I’m looking for make up ideas for this dress. This is for a graduation party at night.
P.S. If any of you commenting have any suggestions regarding shoes and accessories I will greatly appreciate them :)
Thank you :)

For my graduation from junior college (grade 11th and 12th here in India).. I wore a simple cap sleeved A-line white dress on which I got all my batchmates to write farewell messages in red and black ink with purple pumps (for some school spirit!! :D) Not sure if it was the most fashion forward outfit but it made for a great conversation starter :D

Thank you everyone :]
Cristina- I think this look will go beautifully with you dress. As for shoes a black almond toe pump would look nice a classy. Possibly with a costume tennis bracelet for some extra glam. I hope you have a great time :]
Shivani- Hahaha that sounds awesome and definitely memorable. :]
Cate- What’s your idea of a fun, holiday look? :]
