Party Perfect Holiday Look with e.l.f. Cosmetics

How to achieve a party-perfect holiday look

As you deck the halls and get decked out this holiday season, it’s the perfect time to give your makeup routine a glow-up—and e.l.f. Cosmetics has got you covered. Glitter eyeshadow? Check. A glowy complexion? Check. A long-lasting makeup look that stays put? Check. So RSVP “yes” to those holiday parties—and to elevating your makeup look with this easy 7-step routine that will help you dazzle, shine and get glowing all season long.

Step #1

Prep & prime your skin To create a gorgeous makeup look for the holidays that will stay put, start by applying Power Grip Primer + Niacinamide to your freshly cleansed face, using your fingertips to pat it into your skin for an even application. This sticky, gel-based makeup primer will prep and prime your complexion for your makeup application while helping to smooth and brighten the look of dull skin, thanks to the 4% niacinamide.

Step #3

Enhance your eyes Put on the glitz for the holidays and swipe your eyelids with Fine As Fleck Glitter Eyeshadow. A sheer eyeshadow topper that’s packed with micro-fine glitter flecks, so you can wear it alone for a subtle wash of sparkle or layered over your favorite eyeshadow for amped-up sparkle.

To complete your eye makeup routine and add more drama, sweep your lashes with Lash XTNDR tubing Mascara, which visibly extends the look of lashes beyond their natural length.

Step #4

Add a flush of blush ’Tis the season for a dewy flush. Dab 1-2 dots of Camo Liquid Blush onto your cheeks with the rounded, grooved applicator, then blend in using your fave blush brush. This long-lasting, highly pigmented blush lets you build, layer and blend to achieve the perfect pop of color with a soft finish—we love Pinky Promise (a bright pink) and Berry Well (a cool berry) for a party-ready vibe.

For a luminous flush of color, gently squeeze Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand and use the cushion-tip applicator to apply to the apples of your cheeks, then blend with your brush.

Step #5

Highlight your complexion Let it glow and highlight your best features with a liquid highlighter like Halo Glow Highlight Beauty Wand. A good rule of thumb: apply highlighter to the high points of your face (e.g., tip of your nose, brow bones, and chin) to achieve that perfectly natural radiance. Then blend it in with a blush brush.

Step #6

Kiss up to shimmery lips Get your pout mistletoe-ready by nourishing your lips and adding a touch of shimmer. Swipe your lips with O Face Shimmer Balm, a smooth, moisturizing and comfortable formula that imparts lips with a long-lasting wash of sheer shimmer and a pearlescent finish.

Want more of a high-shine look? Slick your lips with Glow Reviver Lip Oil, original or glimmer, a nourishing formula that drenches your pout in an addictive wash of color and sheen, plus a glimmering finish. The non-sticky formula can be worn on its own or layered over your fave lipstick.

Step #7

Set your look Finally, lock in your holiday makeup look and give your skin a dewy finish with Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray. This shockingly fine bi-phase mist is enriched with 5% aloe and features a makeup-gripping water phase and a moisturizing oil phase. Shake to activate, then mist all over your face (from six inches away) to set your makeup for long-lasting wear and leave your skin looking hydrated without feeling sticky. It can also be used throughout the day to refresh your look.
