Holiday Makeup: Sparkles, Smokey, and Berry

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WPUNJ chapter.

One of our favorite parts of dressing up for all these holiday parties is playing with makeup! Our go-to advice is to stick with darker hues, especially during this time of year. Deep berry lips and brown or gold eyeshadows can give off a very wintery festive look.  Here are a few examples!

During the holiday season the dark smokey eye look is so in.

Around this time of year, we also like to play around with glittery eye shadows. (Just don’t go crazy.)

Dark lips are also in this time of year. Berry colors like dark cherry are great colors to go for (mostly because they’re not too dark, and they’ve still got sassy hints of red).

We found this tutorial that can help you create your own holiday look! Although the tutorial uses brighter colors, we recommend trying the darker berry and smokey shades.
