arty make-up has to be right
if you want to look beautiful
at Christmas. The key to
looking great for your Christmas
party is to put on your eye shadow
first. Then apply your foundation
and any other make-up you want to
wear. This way you know that any
loose eye shadow won’t fall in those
places you don’t want it.

SIMPLE UP ‘DO
Christmas is such a frantic time that
it can be difficult to find the energy
to fuss over hair styles. Yet if you
want to look fantastic then one of the
best beauty tips you can master is
the art of simple hairdos. If you want

other side. Then take the remainder
of your hair and tie a messy bun. This
look is elegant, simple and more
importantly quick.

GLITTERY LIPS
Nothing says Christmas like
glitter, and slathering some sparkly
goodness on your pout will definitely
bring you some Christmas cheer this
year. To master the look, line your
lips with a light coloured lip pencil
and add foundation to the corners
of your mouth. Then apply a creamy
lipstick using a lip brush before using
a flat brush to add on your glitter.
You can finish with a gloss. To glam
up your lips even more add some
clear lip gloss. The one thing to bear
in mind if you’re considering having
glittery lips for a Christmas do is that
drinking, eating and kissing may be
off limits; so weigh up your priorities
before donning a glitter pout.
