Tools and materials:
- Green eyeliner

- Mascara
- Fake lashes
- Foundation
- Contour
- Bright red/orange lipstick
- Assorted makeup brushes
1. Apply green eyeliner
With a lovely deep green eyeliner, go ahead and line your top lash line. Make sure to wing it out on the outer edge.
Now, you don’t have a lot of playtime with this, as most of these liners set quickly. So, immediately after, pull the color out with your brush. Like this, you’ll create a diffused wing liner for a softer look.
Keep on applying the liner and diffuse it outward with your brush. Do this bit by bit so you can soften the liner before it settles.
Now, take your pencil all the way along to the very inner corner. Remember, this doesn't have to be neat; we are going for a diffused appearance.
I chose this green shade as my Christmassy eyeliner, as it reminds me a lot of the festive season. The iridescent finish is perfect for a holiday party.
Tip: Once you’ve done one lash line, go ahead and mimic the same shape on your other eye.
Then, with the same pencil, run it along your waterlines. You need to build up this color! So layer it a couple of times before the deep opacity comes through.
Run the liner underneath the lower lashes and smudge it with a brush.
2. Apply green eyeshadow
Take a dark green eyeshadow (one that matches your liner) and pack it on the eyeliner, as shown. If you like the eyeliner on its own, there’s no need to add the eyeshadow, but I want mine to be denser.
Tip: You can use the eyeshadow to diffuse the whole eye makeup look or even smoke it out.
Use what’s left of the bristles to coat the inner corners of your eye.
3. Add false lashes and mascara
A sexy Christmas makeup look definitely needs a set of glam eyelashes! Glue your favorite lashes and let them dry before proceeding to the next step.
Next, apply mascara.
4. Apply foundation
Now that your glamorous eyes are done, it’s time to add foundation! I’m using a powder foundation, but of course, you can use whatever you like.
Tip: I use two different shades of foundation to give my face more dimension.
5. Contour and blush
Now, add some contour to the hollows of your cheeks.
Next, I’m using a soft coral shade for my blush. Of course, this depends on your skin tone, so go ahead and use your favorite blush color.
6. Orange-red lipstick
I went for a cool bright orange-red shade for my lipstick, and I think it’s perfect for festive makeup looks.
