5 gorgeous makeup looks that are PERFECT for Christmas Day

Dec 25, 2018

Today is a big day, and most of us will be decked out in our Sunday (Tuesday) best.

It feels amazing to have a gorgeous fresh face of makeup on Christmas day, without looking totally over done.

Whether it's lunch with your partner's family or Mass you'll be heading to – we have the perfect lewks.

You need a look that will get you to mass, your granny's house and everything in between.

Here are five makeup looks that we think are absolutely perfect for Christmas day…

1. Subtle smokey eye

We are loving this gorgeous makeup look by MUA Aimee Connolly. A subtle smokey eye is perfect for Christmas day, leaving you with a warm glow, yet still appearing understated.

Smokey under eye Sometimes I like to leave my top lid light and focus on the bottom – it gives a smoked effect without closing the eye I actually don't want to kill someone here even thought my face is very much saying otherwise #aimeeconnolly #makeupartist #makeuplook #smokeyeye #skin #bblogger #beauty #

2. Statement lip

Nothing says Christmas quite like a statement red lip, like this one from Joanne Larby.

Pair a popping red lip with just a simple lick of eyeliner, and you are ready to jingle-bell ROCK.

Happy Christmas Eve

3. Pretty in pink

We LOVE pink eyeshadow so much, because it is so pretty, yet quite edgy.

Rather than going all out with a harsh smokey eye, why not try a touch of pink, for a softer, daytime look.

4. Gold member

We are loving this festive, gold makeup look!

Stick to a relatively neutral lip colour, and go all out with beautiful metallic eyeshadow. Santa will love it!

5. Glitter liner

Keep your makeup simple and natural, then add a gorgeous hint of sparkle.

We are so in love with glitter eyeliner, and we think it makes for the most perfect Christmas look of all! HO HO HO.
