I love fresh bright makeup looks that make me feel pretty but still feel like myself. Blush is my main thing! It really adds a youthful glow to your look which is my vibe so I’m completely obsessed. It’s super easy, no fuss and wears pretty well throughout the day/night. In terms of Christmas, I love it ‘cause it’s really the only time my whole family is together so it means a lot to me. I know this year has been wild and a lot of people went through hell so I’m extremely grateful to be safe and healthy.
Blush is my fave product of all time and the Bobbi Brown blush in ‘Apricot’ is to die for. It’s the perfect shade of pink for my skin tone, and I find that it adds a girly (if this is even a thing) touch to my look which is exactly what I’m going for.
I loooove all Nars skin products, I’ve been using them for years and the shades just work for me. Laura Mercier is a cult classic for good reason. I honestly think her translucent powder is unmatched. A few new ones have pretty good reviews so I’m open to trying some, but I’m not holding my breath.
This makeup look was super easy to achieve ! I really didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, the key is to blend blend blend. It took me about 30 mins? Having lash extensions helped a lot as well.

I chose this look because the copper orange-y colour really just reminds me of Christmas. I’m not really feeling the holiday spirit this year, it doesn’t feel like Christmas the way it usually does. This year has been tough/hard for all sorts of reasons and things are still popping off. Can we catch a break? I chose a makeup look that’s going to excite me and make me feel a little bit gingered for the holiday season.
I hardly play with too much colour on my eyes so red or green was out of the question. The white coloured liner added a light element to the look without being too overpowering. This was a fairly easy makeup look to achieve, it took me about 35 minutes to achieve it but it’s also because I’ve done something similar before. Another disclaimer: I’ve had lots of practice on my face and I like to stick to what I know and can do. My makeup is usually done a lot quicker than most people because of this!

I like simple glam looks with a party on the eyes, and since I was going for a Christmas look I decided to choose a red glittery eye look. I’m not in the Christmas mood yet, but I’m getting there!
For my eyes, I used the Mood Beauty ‘Bo-Kaap’ palette, because I love the bold pigmented eyeshadows in this palette, the YGlam pigment in ‘Larrie‘ and a red neon pigment to make my eyes pop a bit more.
For my skin, I used the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Foundation and I love this foundation for dewy looks, but I don’t like that I have to use a really mattifying primer with it because it gets oily after a few hours.
This is an easy look to achieve, but it took an hour and a half because I used eyeshadow, glitter pigments and neon pigments for the eyes.
