The winter season comes with its own magic, you host house parties, family gatherings and plenty of photos to capture the essence of true celebrations with family and friends. To look and feel the best for those Instagram-worthy pictures, follow the trending Christmas vibes and create your own makeup looks because celebrations are all about capturing the festive spirit.

Let's prepare a few minimal Christmas-inspired makeup looks that you can easily recreate to perfectly match the Christmas carols vibes. 

Illuminating Primer Drops for that Charming Glow

To avoid your makeup from being cakey and to create a smooth skin surface for easy application, we apply primer. But what if your primer gives you a smooth surface but with that irresistible illuminating glow? Use Beauty Berry Illuminating Primer Drops with the properties of Hyaluronic Acid to lock in the moisture. This is a multipurpose product which has illuminating particles in it, which gives you a radiant glow. You can avoid wearing foundation over it for a natural makeup look, or you can mix this with your foundation for a glowy base. 

Glitter Eyeshadow Look

If you want your eyes to twinkle the same as twinkling lights out on the streets, then try out some shimmery eye makeup looks. To create an all glitter eye look is easy, use a primer to smoothen out the surface and use Beauty Berry Metallic Eyeshadow which is available in different shades. Put a little product on your eyelid using the brush and dab using the brush or use an eyeshadow blending brush to blend properly. 

To complete your eye look, use Triple Slay 3-in-1 Eyeliner, Eyeshadow and Mascara and create a soft winged eyeliner look and finish with volumizing mascara for lifted lashes look.

A Timeless Red Lipstick

If Christmas had a signature color, it would be red lipstick because nothing matches the festive charm more than a bold, confident red lip. The key to perfect red lips lies in choosing the right lip prep, because you don't want to show up to a family gathering with your bold red lipstick chapping off. Do a little lip care because it's winter and your lips need more care. A mild exfoliation with any homemade lip scrub, followed by a lip balm, is all you need for soft lips. 

Use a lip liner to define the outer line of your lips and fill in your favorite red lipstick using Poppins Matte Lip Crayon which is perfect for long events. If you prefer a more festive feel, layer lip gloss on top for shine. Pair red lips with minimal eye makeup to create a balanced and chic appearance. 

Mattifying Oil Control Compact Powder

When you’re out for Christmas parties, the last thing you want is your makeup getting shiny or vanishing after dancing to a couple of songs. Use Beauty Berry Mattifying Oil Control Compact Powder to set your makeup in place, control the oil around T-zone and save you from ruining your makeup. Use the included puff applicator and dab it on your face. This compact is the best option because it feels super light on skin and does not look heavy at all. A quick and easy touch-up option so your makeup stays fresh, matte, and put together.

As the final step but not the last in your face makeup, set everything in place with Beauty Berry Vitamin C and E Makeup Fixer. This locks in makeup for up to 16 hours and also provides nourishment with Vitamin C and Vitamin E. 

Green Nail Paint Look

There are only a few colors you need to set the Christmas vibe, and green nail paint is definitely one of them. It brings the festive feel without trying too hard. Use the Beauty Berry Insta Dry Nail Lacquer in its green shade for a quick glossy finish, the nail paint dries quickly and gives a mess-free application. If you want to add a little extra touch of Christmas to your nails, decorate them with gold glitter, tiny white dots or a simple snowflake sticker. These small details instantly make your nails look festive and ready for the season.
