YOUR December GLOW GUIDE
BY TEMO MPODI
READY TO SLAY THE SEASON? DECEMBER’ S BEAUTY LOOK SERVES SOFT GLAM, SHEER GLOW, AND UNAPOLOGETIC SHINE. THIS IS YOUR BEAUTY CHEAT SHEET FOR THE MONTH. NO FLUFF. JUST FIRE.
ALL-IN-ONE
Radiant skin starts with smart layering. Sunscreen first. Always. Mineral formulas work well for sensitive skin. Try tinted moisturisers with SPF, lightweight drops, or shimmer oils for a hydrated, litfrom-within finish.
MORE IS LESS
Soft is the word this season. Heavy makeup sits out. Make-up artists lean into gentle technique and natural finishes. Think soft matt skin with light pops of colour. Choose a rosy blush for a fresh look with zero effort.
COOL TONED SHADOWS
Cool tones return. They add depth, sharpen features, and make eyes stand out. Play with soft greys, silvers, and mauves, then layer bolder tones for contrast. Pick a palette that suits your skin tone and outfit.
GLAZED LIPS
Gloss stays. Lip oils take the lead, giving shine and moisture in one swipe. Try cherry or pink tints for a juicy finish. For extra shine, pair a lipstick base with clear gloss and go full glaze.
COLOUR POP
Pop some colour smooth and plumping effect, try something without drying your lips, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines. You get hydrated soft lips with a long lasting and comfortable, no“ bleeding” lipstick.
