The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to elevate your makeup game with festive looks that celebrate your unique beauty. For ethnic beauties, embracing makeup that enhances your features and complements your skin tone is key to standing out at every holiday gathering.

Here Are Five Essential Tips to Ensure You Glow This Season.

Psst ... There's a bonus idea at the end to complete your look.

1. Celebrate Your Skin’s Glow with Proper Prep

A flawless holiday look starts with healthy, radiant skin. Prepping your skin properly ensures your makeup goes on smoothly and lasts all night.

Moisturize and Prime: Use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type, followed by a primer that smooths your skin and controls shine. If you have deeper skin tones, choose a primer that enhances radiance without leaving a grayish cast.

Exfoliate Weekly: Exfoliating once or twice a week before your event removes dead skin cells and creates an even surface.

Hydrate and Protect: Don’t forget a hydrating mist or serum to lock in moisture, and yes, even in winter, use sunscreen!

2. Embrace Jewel Tones on Your Eyes

Nothing says festive like bold, jewel-toned eye makeup. These colors are stunning on deeper skin tones and add a touch of glamour to your look.

Jewel Shades to Try: Emerald green, sapphire blue, or deep purple work wonders. Opt for metallic finishes to add sparkle or matte shades for a soft, sophisticated vibe.

Smoky Eye Look: Start with a bronze or copper shade on your lids, then blend a darker color like espresso or black into the outer corners. Finish with winged liner and volume with mascara or false lashes, (Not Fans) for dramatic flair.

3. Go Bold or Neutral with Lips

Your lips are the centerpiece of your holiday look. Whether you prefer bold or neutral shades, there’s a perfect option for you.

Bold Shades:Berry, crimson, or deep wine shades pop beautifully against warm skin tones.

Neutral Glam: For a softer look, opt for nude shades in warm caramel or chocolate tones. Top with a clear or slightly tinted gloss for extra dimension.

Pro Tip: Always use a lip liner that matches your lipstick or natural lip color. This defines your pout and keeps your color in place.

4. Highlight Your Features with Precision

A touch of highlighter adds the perfect glow for the holiday season.

Choose the Right Shade: Go for highlighters with gold or rose undertones to avoid an ashy look on deeper skin tones.

Where to Apply: Focus on the high points of your face—cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid’s bow.

Blend for Perfection: Cream-based highlighters are great for a dewy finish, while powders work well for a soft glow. Pair your highlight with light contouring for a sculpted look.

5. Set It and Forget It

Long holiday events require makeup that lasts. Setting your look properly is the final step to ensuring it stays intact.

Setting Powder: Use a shade that matches your skin tone to control shine without altering your foundation color. Lightly dust translucent powder for an airbrushed finish.

Setting Spray: Lock everything in with a setting spray designed to control oil while adding a luminous finish.

On-the-Go Touch-Ups: Keep blotting papers in your bag to manage shine without disturbing your makeup.

Bonus Tip: Accessorize Your Look

The holidays are the perfect time to pair your makeup with festive accessories. Glittery hair clips, bold earrings, or a jeweled headband can take your look to the next level.

Final Thoughts


This holiday season, let your makeup reflect your confidence and unique beauty. By prepping your skin, embracing bold or subtle colors, and setting your makeup for longevity, you’ll be ready to glow at any event. Celebrate your features, have fun with your style, and enjoy every festive moment.

That’s it for this week .
