(BPT) - You're donning a cute cozy sweater, you've decked the halls at home and now it's time to dazzle with beautiful holiday hair and makeup.

EcoTools Beauty Team members and expert stylists Christine Symonds and Teni Panosian have created a complete holiday hair and makeup look that, with just a few simple steps, will have your style merry and bright for any event.

Holiday makeup: classic and flawless

"This time of year there's certainly no shortage of seasonal celebrations, and a classic makeup look is always a crowd pleaser," says Panosian, YouTube beauty star and voice behind MissMaven.com. "Using tools from the three limited-edition EcoTools holiday sets, it's easy to achieve a flawless, festive look."

Step 1. Using the Skin Perfecting Brush from the Four-Piece Beautiful Complexion Set, apply your favorite foundation.

Step 2. Taking the Precision Foundation Brush from the Festive & Flawless Face Set, apply concealer under your eyes and around your mouth. Also dab a little bit into the center of your forehead to brighten and conceal.

Step 3. Also from the Festive & Flawless Face Set, take the Buffing Concealer Brush and blend the concealer using small, circular motions for an even and flawless base.

Step 4. Going back to the Four-Piece Beautiful Complexion Set, grab the Mattifying Finish Brush and a matte bronzer to give your skin a bit of warmth. Apply the bronzer into the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline and into your hairline.

Step 5. Using the same brush, sweep a soft, neutral pink blush onto your cheeks for a natural, rosy look. Then, set your makeup by applying a translucent powder using the Full Powder Brush from the Festive & Flawless Face Set.

Step 6. To add a healthy glow, take the Complexion Blending Brush from the same Festive & Flawless Face Set and dab on your favorite powder highlighter to the high points of your cheekbones, your brow bone, and above the arches of your eyebrows.
