What's Inside Our Makeup Bag This Holiday Season

Wondering what’s inside our makeup bags this holiday season? Spoiler: We have the essentials for a gorgeous holiday look. Here are the products we are loving this season and aren’t skipping in our routines.

Concealer:

During the winter months, it’s important to keep your makeup from looking dry, so we opt for a creamy concealer to help brighten the under-eye while keeping the face fresh. To brighten under eyes in winter, choose a hydrating concealer slightly lighter than your skin tone. Gently pat and blend using your ring finger or a makeup sponge for a natural finish. Ensure your under-eye area is moisturized beforehand to prevent the concealer from settling into dryness. Apply concealer in a triangular shape from the inner corner of your eye to the outer edge, helping to illuminate and lift the eyes.

Cream Blush:

We’re all about the glow this season, and that’s why we love cream blush. It keeps us looking dewy and glowy while adding color and life to our skin. For a glossy winter blush with cream blush, start by applying a hydrating primer to create a smooth base. Dab a small amount of cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend it outward using your fingertips or a makeup sponge. To enhance the glossiness, lightly tap a clear or slightly shimmery gloss on top of the cream blush for a radiant finish.

Highlighter:

The perfect highlighter for the holiday season is a must. We love something that compliments fair skin and adds a gorgeous glow without feeling too glittery. To apply highlighter, use a small, tapered brush or your fingertip. Apply the highlighter to the high points of your face: the tops of your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, cupid’s bow, and the inner corners of your eyes. Blend gently for a natural glow. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and build up if needed.

Eyeshadow:

It’s easy to create the perfect eye look when you have a palette filled with cohesive neutrals. A mix of matte and shimmer means you can amp it up or down depending on your style. To create the perfect neutral eye look with eyeshadow, begin by applying a neutral-toned eyeshadow as a base over your eyelids. Use a slightly darker shade in the crease to add dimension. For a subtle shimmer, apply a light, neutral shade on the center of your lids. Finish with a matte, light shade on the brow bone. Blend thoroughly for a seamless and natural look.

NEW Chestnut + Auburn Mascara:

Redhead mascara is essential for any redhead makeup look and we’ve got new shades! Chestnut and Auburn are two natural-looking redhead shades to match your hair while enhancing and elongating your lashes! Redheads should consider Auburn or Chestnut mascara from the Finally Have Lashes Enhancing Redhead Mascara line because they complement the natural tones of red hair, enhancing the overall warmth of their look. These shades provide a subtler alternative to traditional black or brown mascaras, creating a harmonious and flattering appearance. The mascaras can define lashes without overpowering the redhead’s natural features, resulting in a more cohesive and appealing makeup look.

Perfectly Red Lipstick:

A holiday makeup look isn’t complete without a red lip! And we’ve got just the color. Perfectly Red is made with redhead in mind so the color is complementary to our red hair.

Plus, a red lip is perfect for the holiday season because red is a timeless, bold, and festive color that adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. It complements the rich and warm tones often associated with holiday decor and attire. Additionally, a red lip can instantly elevate your look, making it well-suited for festive gatherings and celebrations. It’s a classic choice that symbolizes confidence and cheer, enhancing the overall festive spirit during the holiday season.
