What's in Vogue: Holiday 2009

Tis' the season... for parties that is! And since I'm sure you all have a slew of holiday soirées to attend this month, I know you'll want a few fabulous makeup styles to make you look stunning!



I have chosen two looks:

Look I - Holiday Gothic Chic
This look is very dark and smoldering... and a bit vampiric if you ask me!
Eyes - I used NARS eyeshadow in Night Sun swept over the entire lid along with NARS Mekong in the creese. Then I applied MAC PowerPoint eye pencil in Bountiful Brown around the eye and smudged liner with Mekong to soften the look. I finished with generously applied black mascara.

Cheeks - I used NARS illuminator in Albatross for a soft glow but you can also use a bronzer for a little more color. Try Lorac bronzer in Glow.

Lip - I used MAC lipstick in Cyber. Try Makeup Forever lipstick in Blueberry for a softer look.


Look II - 80s Inspired Holiday Chic
This look is featured in style section of the December issue of Austin Monthly and it has 80s vintage written all over it!
Eyes - I used MAC eye shadow in Rice Paper over the entire lid with Satin Taupe in the creese and swept out from the corner of the eye creating a "winged" effect.

Cheeks - I used MAC blush in Peaches to create this 80's style cheek.

Lip - I used MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt. Try MAC lipstick in Ravishing for a softer look.
