Holiday party makeup: 3 step-by-step tutorials that will make you shine: Step 1: CRANBERRY OMBRÉ

CRANBERRY AMBRÉ

Step 1 

Generously apply a metallic burgundy eyeshadow up to the crease of your eyes and along your lower lashline. Diffuse the colour outwards with a fluffy brush

Step 2

To anchor the burgundy and create a gradient effect, apply a deep maroon or plum eyeshadow along both your top and bottom lash lines. Using the same fluffy brush, blend this darker shade into the burgundy.

Step 3 

To create an ombré lip, start by prepping your lips with your favourite balm. Use a deep plum lip liner to line and fill in the upper lip. Then, apply a little bit of the liner to the top of your bottom lip, leaving the lower part bare. Use your finger to blend gently.

Step 4

Take this festive look to the next level by adding some dramatic false lashes. If you can find an extra thick variety, such as Ardell’s Double Up false lashes, all the better!

Step 5 

Finish with a kiss of blush in a deep berry shade. Use a light hand and a large brush if you’re fair skinned so the colour doesn’t go on too strong.
