The Perfect Holiday Look in 7 Easy Steps



It's November and the holidays are quickly approaching! We are all hustling to plan gifts, gatherings, outfits and so much more. In the blink of an eye, December will be here and we'll be scrambling for last minute presents and rushing out the door for another holiday party. This year's Colour Holiday Kit makes it easy. Whether you're shopping for the beauties in your life or looking for that spark behind your style, this kit has you covered!

This Winter the look is all about smoky eyes and bold lips. See Corporate Educator, Alejandro Falcon's step-by-step on how to create this coveted look.

1. Apply Black Eye Liner around the lash line of the eyes from top to bottom. Smudge lightly with a brush (our Smudge Brush works great here!) to steam up those eyes.

2. Use a small amount of Onyx Water Color all over the eyelids, blending on top of eyeliner application for a smoldering finish for the eyes.

3. Add a highlighter below the brows for a more defined contrast (try Pink Champagne!).


4. Complete the smoky eye with our new Curling Mascara that will reshape your lashes enhancing their length and thickness.

5. Sweep a small amount of blush on to cheeks for a soft, flushed appearance. (We suggest Peony.)



Now paint the town red with those lips...

6. Line lips fully with the Sangria Lip Liner to deepen and frame your lips.

7. Fill in with our NEW Lust Lip Glaze for that luscious lacquered finish that will be the envy of all around you.

This step-by-step can also be found in the kit so if it's going in a box with a bow or in your makeup bag, you'll be ready!

What does your lipstick color say about you?


if you wear red lipstick...
Ladies who go for this classic shade come off as

creative and daring. They're most likely to be the

extroverted partier who also likes to keep in shape

by putting in time at the gym.
if you wear pink lipstick...

 
 
This lighter shade is associated with sociable and fun

people, but don't underestimate these gals! These

pink lip-wearers are very powerful; most senior

executives opt for this shade over plums or nudes.
if you wear plum lipstick...
These might not be the senior executive type, but ladies rockin' a plum
lip are independent and self-sufficient.  They also tend to be more
"chill" or the homebody type that loves staying in on a Friday night
with Netflix. These women rarely post selfies and own the least
number of shoes.
if you wear nude lipstick...
Women who wear this shade are warm and caring.  They're super-
confident because they wear lipstick more often since it looks au
naturale. Also, a fun factoid: Psychologists recommend a nude lip
goes over best on a first date; more than any of the other colors.
