Ten days before Christmas and two weeks before New Year’s Eve, it’s more time than ever to think about your holiday outfits and matching beauty! To give you inspiration but also to help you achieve a pretty makeup, Shakira Adams, ambassador of Rare Beauty, the cosmetics brand designed by Selena Gomez, has concocted two tutorials for us. Follow the guide for a successful beauty treatment.
• CHIC MAKEUP FOR CHRISTMAS
1 / After hydrating the skin, start with the new Always an Optimist Pore Erasing Smoothing Primer to mattify and smooth pores.
2 / Then, sublimate the complexion by applying Liquid Touch Light Foundation to 4 points of the face: the forehead, cheekbones and chin, then blend. To illuminate the eyes while hydrating the eye area, use Liquid Touch Radiance Corrector.
3 / For a guaranteed healthy glow, then apply a touch of Soft Pinch Liquid Blush – Love shade, a warm matte terracotta – and blend.
4 / Depending on your skin tone, use the Liquid Positive Light Highlighter in the shade of Outshine (a deep gold) or Flaunt (a bronze gold) on the cheekbones, a highlight of the face and on the eyelids for a touch of shine.
5 / Glide effortlessly the tip of the Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Eyeliner to obtain a cat-eyes that will not budge throughout the evening.
6 / Add volume to the lashes with the Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara. The multi-length bristles of this unique brush will highlight all types of lashes, whether they are naturally full, sparse, straight or curled. The castor oil in the formula not only nourishes the lashes, but also applies as much as desired without flaking or clumping! Apply 3 coats for an extraordinary false eyelash effect!
7 / To enhance the look more, take the Brow Harmony Crayon et Gel Eyebrow with double tips to outline the front of the eyebrow and intensify the tip. Then use the gel to add dimension and fix everything.
8 / Finally, an essential final touch to this Rare Beauty signature look, apply Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream – Inspire shade, a bright red – for a hydrated mouth. Long-lasting and richly pigmented, this red sublimates the lips and will dazzle all the guests!
• GLAMORAL MAKEUP FOR THE NEW YEAR
1 / After hydrating the skin, start with the new Always an Optimist Illuminating Foundation Primer for plump and glowing skin.
2 / Then, we sublimate the complexion by applying the Liquid Touch Light Foundation on 4 points of the face: the forehead, the cheekbones and the chin then blend. To illuminate the eyes while hydrating the skin, use the Radiance Corrector Liquid Touch.
3 / The new Always an Optimist Weightless Eyelid Base is applied to the eyelids up to the browbone to hydrate the eye area and ensure intense color for hours. The +: its magic formula blurs the fine lines of the eyelids, for an even smoother result and a more youthful appearance!
4 / Then it’s time to have fun with the Discovery True to Myself palette! Apply the Genuine shade, a matte peach, to the crease of the eyelid and towards the browbone. Then the Loyal shade, a matte brown, in the outer corner of the eye. Finally, the Pure shade, a real metallic gold, and spread it all over the eyelid.
* Optional: To intensify the look, use the matte purple taupe shade, Undeniable, with a small brush and apply it as a liner.
5 / To celebrate the New Year in style and shine brightly, we fall for the Accepting shade, 3D golden glitter, which is applied to the eyelid!
6 / Finalize eye makeup with Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara for lengthened and curled eyelashes!
7 / To highlight the glitter of the eyelids, draw a softer eyebrow with the new Brow Harmony Shape and Fill Duo. Take the brush and bottle brush from their adorable hiding place and create a natural eyebrow.
8 / For a subtle touch of color on the cheeks, apply the Stay Vulnerable Blush Fondant en Mauve with your finger.
9 / For the final touch, apply With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm – Compliment shade, a greedy dark pink – for a sumptuous and shiny smile.
