3 Holiday Beauty Looks to Carry You Through New Year's Eve

With the holiday season quickly approaching, there’s no better time to start planning your holiday beauty looks. To help get you started, we’ve crafted three stunning looks featuring brand new shades in our favorite formulas (found in our 2019 Muse Holiday Collection) to get you from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve without missing a beat.

For each of the three holiday beauty looks, it’s essential to start with well prepped skin. Choose products based on your unique skin type to cleanse, tone and moisturize. This ensures your makeup will lay smoothly and you’ll end up using less product in the long run. Then, use our easy 4 step process for complexion perfection by applying a primer, base, concealer and setting powder. For a natural, semi-matte finish, try Pressed Base or Satin Cream Foundation with Perfecting Powder and for a stunning, dewy finish, try Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18 or Loose Base with Luminous Setting Powder.

Frida + Billie

Featuring four Cream Stay Shadow Sticks (The Frida Shadow Set) and a Suede Matte Crayon (The Billie Lip Duet), this look provides a stunning take on simple, earthy shades. The warm undertones are perfect for softening up a monochromatic smokey eye and make a great addition to a neutral palette.

2. Apply Cream Stay Shadow Stick in Canyon to 303 Detail Blender Brush for a softer application, then lightly blend into crease and along lower lashline.
3. Add Cream Stay Shadow Stick in Bonbon to entire lid and crease, then blend softly with 304 Dual Fiber Eye Brush.
