Hey dolls, we hope you’re feeling festive! December has been PACKED with festive date nights, winter wonderland trips and mulled wine with the girls, and so there’s no denying it… the Christmas season is well and truly in flow.  

And with the big day only a week or so away (and NYE straight after that!) we’ve never been more in need of a party szn make-up look that’ll help us #GlowAllNight.  

Luckily for you, our ICONIC London make-up artists never disappoint – and we’ve come up with your go-to party glam that’ll keep you looking glowing, golden, gorgeous and glitzy all night long.

Ready to get your #GoodTimeGlow on? These are the steps you need to follow… happy glamming babes!

Your Party Prep Starts Here

Ok so we all know that the KEY to a long-lasting make-up look is all about the skin prep. We’ve got you covered, babes and if you follow our party prep steps, your make-up will be sure to last as long as you do…

Prep your base, with our ultra-dewy Radiance Booster, apply with your fingertips, Seamless Blender or your fave base brush. It’s all you need for a flawless, fresh-faced, and radiant complexion.

Next up, go in with our Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint. It’s ideal for a #GoodTimeGlow. It allows your skin to look flawless and satin-smooth, without looking overly matte. You know us, we’re never going to dull your glow babes. Again, apply with your fingertips or favourite brush and you’re guaranteed a second-skin, dream base for up to 12-hours.

You guessed it, the final prep to gorgeous skin is of course our ICONIC Prep-Set-Glow. Mist over the skin to refresh and set your base in place. Keep this one in your bag for touch-ups on-the-go.

Let’s Ace That Base

Right, now we’ve perfected the canvas, it’s time to create a flawless looking base. This is where you can add depth, definition and glow to the skin – and because you’ve prepped your skin with a lightweight wash of skin tint, you can be sure it’ll still look naturally glam – no matter how glowy you choose to go!

Just because it’s winter, that doesn’t mean we’re scrimping on Sheer bronze. Whether you’re using it to contour or add a warmth to the skin (or both!) it gives your complexion a golden, juicy-looking wash of colour that’s gorgeous and lightweight. Again, like all our face products, you can apply this with your fingertips or fave brushes – just get in there and blend babes.

Next up, Sheer Blush. We LOVE a naturally flushed and flirty look in winter and Sheer Blush is your go-to for creating that. Apply to the cheekbones and bridge of the nose for a gorgeous kiss of colour and major radiance points.

Next up - Illuminator. Our famous liquid illuminator is ideal for creating that mega-watt glow on the skin, without dousing your complexion in tonnes of glitter. Add to the cheekbones, brow bone, cupids bow, decolletage, shoulders and anywhere else you want skin to sheen!

<Top Tip> Mix a couple of drops in with your fave body lotion and use on any areas of skin that are out to play!

To create a real festive winter faux bronzed glow, of course we’re reaching for our ICONIC Ultimate Bronzing Powder. Apply all over your face and decolletage using our Ultimate Bronzing Brush!

We LOVE a naturally flushed and flirty look in winter and Silk Glow Duo is your go-to for creating that. Apply to the cheekbones and bridge of the nose for gorgeous kiss of colour and major radiance points.

For Brows That Wow

Right before we go onto the eyes, we’ve got to make sure that your brows are fixed up and looking sharp.

Take our Triple Precision Brow Definer and fill in any sparse areas and add definition with the pencil end. Then to create hair-like strokes, use the pen end.

Now you’re already on route to serious brow goals… go in with Liquid Brow Silk Max Hold and you can be safe in the knowledge that your brows will be looking fly from dawn ‘til dusk. Haven’t used it before? Liquid Brow Silk Max Hold is basically our flexible brow shaping wax that’s perfect for lifting, fluffing out and defining brows – without any of that crunchy feeling. It’s got 16-hr long-wear hold and will keep your arches in place while conditioning them with nourishing peptides at the same time – bonus!

It’s All About The Eyes

Whether you’re a make-up master or newbie novice, we’ve devised a festive eye look that is so simple to achieve, yet looks seriously impressive once applied.

Start off with your favourite Glaze Crayons shades. We love Mirage or Goddess for this look – Mirage is a gorgeous nude bronze while Goddess is our true antique gold – perfect for major glitz. Start by scribbling the crayon side all over the eye lid (you don’t have to be neat with this, which is why we love it!) Blend into place using your fingertips or fave fluffy brush. Then, take the sheer, shimmering glaze and layer over the top for stand-out glitz and glam. In seconds, you’ve got a seriously stand-out, shimmering eye look that’s SO easy to do, but seriously impressive to look at.

Next up, take your Enrich & Elevate Eyeliner to create definition to your eye. Start in the middle of your upper lash line and draw a line towards the outer corner of your eye using the thicker tipped brush. Next, flip your eyeliner around and use the skinnier tip to extend the line closer to your inner corner for a feline feel. Finally, extend your liner wing out towards your brow bone for a major cat eye look.

Three easy steps to your perfect winged liner!

For fluffy lashes, we love Enrich & Elevate Mascara. It lengthens, curls and lifts lashes while leaving them ultra-soft and fluffy-looking making them the perfect base for…

Faux-Mink Faux Lashes. Yep, it’s Christmas so you can bet we’re false lashing it up! Use the glue included in your favourite set of strip lashes to apply along the lash band and wait for 30 seconds, until it becomes tacky. Then press the lashes onto your upper lash line and pinch together with your fingers. To help the lashes stay in place and blend with your natural lash hairs, we like to add another coat of Enrich & Elevate Mascara.

Christmas Kisses

To finish off the look, it’s all about a pillowy soft ‘kiss-me-under-the-mistletoe’ pout. For this, of course we love our ICONIC Lip Plumping Gloss. One quick sweep and your lips are transformed into a plump, gorgeous pout that’s got a high shine without any sticky, gloopy feeling. MWAH!
