What some of you may not know about me, is that I actually love makeup. One of the reasons I love the holidays is because I also love creating holiday makeup looks whether that be a Christmas party makeup tutorial or showing you my latest smokey eye hack. I’ve never been one for an overly complicated makeup look and when it comes to parties or special occasions, I like to keep things natural, even if I am going for something bold. Less is more right? The same can be said for products.

I won’t lie to you, I can’t resist a good eyeshadow palette or a brand new highlighter but after having trialled and tested so many, you start to realise that you don’t actually need all those pieces to create something fabulous. You just need a few great makeup products, or in this case, just one. I had the opportunity to play around with the new Chanel lip palette and instead of creating just one, lip-based makeup look, I’ve created three very different holiday party makeup looks, just for you, for whatever mood you’re trying to create with your outfit. Not only is this palette a part of their limited edition Christmas make up range, but it is the first lip palette ever done by Chanel!

BLUSHING BEAUTY

You are elegant, soft, feminine and girly. You prefer to keep your look natural. Simple is key, you don’t like to overthink or over do. You don’t need to either. You have a warm energy about you and although you may not always want to be in the spotlight, everyone can’t help but be drawn to you anyways.

How To:
One of my favourite makeup hacks is to use lipstick as a blush. The matching tones actually look so beautiful while still managing to be subtle and natural.

Dab the orange shade onto your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Add a touch of the light red to get a pink tint.

Use the same colour combo on your lips. Mix with some lip balm to lighten the shades and make it more natural.

For an extra touch, use the Chanel Illuminating Powder on the highest part of the cheekbones under the eyes.

EYE CATCHER

You are bold and fiery. You aren’t afraid to speak what’s on your mind and you are always open to an adventure. You have a fearless and beautiful nature. It doesn’t matter where the night takes you, you’re ready for anything. Nothing stops you or gets in your way. If looks could kill, you’ve got a stare to prove it.

How To:

Don’t be afraid of using your lipstick on your eyelids. It makes for a fabulous eyeshadow! The high pigment sits beautifully on your skin and the consistency means it will last all night long.

Use the lightest shade of the palette on your eyelids. Dab on to cover the lid. Use the darkest shade in and around the crease. Blend.

Make a thin line with brown eyeliner and add a touch of mascara.

For a sparkly finish, use the Chanel Ombre Premiere eyeshadow in shade Cuivre Lamé dusted over.

LIPS TO LOVE

You are classic with a twist. Elegant, but never boring. You are full of surprises and never fail to keep even your closest guessing. You put a smile on everyone’s face and you have an amazing attention to detail; you know that’s what makes the difference. Always smiling, you light up the room.

How To:

Of course, a lip palette should also be used on the lips. A great trick is top up the colour of your choice with the darkest colour around your cupids bow and the bottom of your lips, and fill in with your lightest colour. It’s a way of creating a highlight.

For a truly sparkling finish, boldly apply the Chanel Rouge Coco gloss in Flaming Lips. It has a sparkling shine that almost looks like glitter. Trust me, it looks amazing and it’s the perfect finisher to a natural holiday makeup look.
