HOT for the Holidays Sexy up the season with 6 easy makeup
ideas!
Looking for beauty
inspiration for your next holiday party? Follow these tips from Benefit
Cosmetics to achieve a festive and “fa-la-la flawless” face!
TIP#1: HAVE YOURSELF
A MERRY LITTLE CONTOUR!
Contouring this season is subtle...less is more. To create a
naturally-sculpted look, sweep a soft matte powder bronzer like hoola beneath
your cheekbones and jawbones and along the sides of your nose. Blend thoroughly
to avoid harsh lines.
TIP#2: YOU’RE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE HOLIDAYS.
Light up the party with simple strobing! First, swirl
peachy-pink blush on the apples of your cheeks, then blend a soft, shimmery
highlighting & strobing cream like watt’s up along the tops of cheekbones,
the bridge of your nose and cupid’s bow.
TIP#3: IT’S THE MOST BROWTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.
Groomed brows are key to achieving a party-perfect
look.“Brow shaping has the power to transform your features...brows can even
help contour your face!” says Jared Bailey, Benefit’s Global Brow Expert. For example, less space between eyebrows
creates a slimming effect on the nose, while extending the tail end of the brow
makes a round face look more lean. Bailey calls this technique “brow
contouring”. For expert help, pop into your nearest Benefit Brow Bar Beauty
Lounge to reveal your ideal brow shape with a Signature Brow Mapping. This
personalized consultation is complimentary*...tweeze the season! *available
where services are offered.
After you’ve shaped your brows, get them all decked out! To
get Instagram-worthy feathered brows like those seen on our model, draw short
upward strokes with a super fine tip pencil like precisely, my brow pencil. Use
a light flicking motion with the tip of your pencil in the direction of your
natural hair growth. Finish by brushing on 3Dbrowtonesinstant highlighting gel
to add subtle highlights & dimension to brows.
TIP#5: “YULE” HAVE THE HOTTEST PARTY PEEPERS.
For big, sexy eyes that will put you at the top of the “naughty” list, stroke they’re real eye liner along upper lash line, flicking up the outer corners to create a cat-eye effect. Then apply they’re real lengthening mascara. Hold the wand horizontally then wiggle through lashes from base to tip. Next, hold the wand vertically and stroke the custom dome tip through lashes for curl and separation.

Don’t get caught under the mistletoe unprepared! For sexy,
fuller-looking lips, trace over your natural lip line with a liner that’s 1 to
2 shades deeper than your lipstick. They’re real! Big Sexy Lip Kit makes it mistake-proof
with four shades of double the lip! Lipstick
and liner in one. The Custom Teardrop Tip contains two perfectly-paired shades
that line and fill-in lips in one easy step. Simply position the pointed tip
along your upper lip line and glide on. Pivot to fill in your lower lip.
