In this blog, we'll delve into the realm of dazzling colours, shimmering finishes, and bold expressions that define the magic of French holiday makeup. Get ready to elevate your festive look and embrace the glamour that makes this season sparkle.
A Symphony of Festive Colours
Radiant Reds and Plush Plums
The holiday season requires a rich and bold colour palette. Embrace the classic elegance of radiant reds and plush plums, whether on your lips or as eyeshadow shades. These timeless hues instantly evoke a sense of warmth and celebration.
Glittering Golds and Shimmering Silvers
Infuse your makeup with a touch of luxury by incorporating glittering golds and shimmering silvers. Whether as eyeshadow, highlighter, or even a metallic eyeliner from French Beauty Co makeup brand Mavala, these metallic tones add a touch of glamour, making you the star of any holiday gathering.
Luminous Base for a Radiant Glow
Dewy Foundations and Illuminating Primers
Achieve a radiant complexion by opting for a dewy foundation or an illuminating primer like Embryolisse Rose Glow. These formulations create a luminous base that mimics the soft glow of candlelight, perfect for holiday soirées.
Highlighter Heaven
Accentuate your features with a generous highlighter application. Opt for shades that complement your skin tone—champagnes, soft pinks for fair skin, and golden hues for deeper tones. Illuminate the high points of your face with the Bachca Brush Set for a celestial glow.
Mesmerising Eyes
Smokey Glitter Eyes
Elevate your eye makeup with a touch of glitter. A smoky eye adorned with a hint of shimmer adds a festive allure to French women, capturing the magical ambience of the holiday season. For an enchanting effect, experiment with shades from Malva, like golden bronze, plum, cherry purple, or peach.
Statement Lashes
Make a statement with bold lashes. Whether you opt for voluminous falsies or coat your natural lashes with a high-impact mascara, fluttery lashes enhance the drama of your holiday gaze.
Festive Lips That Speak Volumes
Classic Reds
The allure of classic red lips during the holidays is timeless. Choose a red shade that complements your undertones—cool reds from Embryolisse for fair skin, true reds like Bourjois for neutral tones, and deep, warm reds like Mavala for deeper complexions.
Berry Kissed
Experiment with berry-toned lip colours for a modern twist. Shades of cranberry, mulberry, or even deep wine bring a touch of sophistication and mystery to your holiday look.
Sparkling Nails to Complete the Ensemble
Metallic Manicures
Extend the festive charm to your fingertips with metallic manicures. Gold, silver, or even jewel-toned nail polishes from Malva add a touch of opulence, ensuring your hands are as captivating as the rest of your ensemble.
Accent Nails and Nail Art
Experiment with accent nails or nail art for an extra dose of holiday cheer. Think snowflakes, twinkling stars, or even a touch of glitter to make your manicure stand out.
Playful and Whimsical Accents
Glittering Hair Accessories
Elevate your hairstyle with glittering hair accessories. From festive headbands to shimmering hairpins, these accents add a playful and whimsical touch to your overall look.
Temporary Tattoos and Body Glitter
For those feeling adventurous, consider temporary metallic tattoos or body glitter. These whimsical additions add a touch of magic to your holiday ensemble, making you the embodiment of celebration.
Long-Lasting Formulas for Endless Merriment
Setting Sprays
Use a setting spray to ensure your holiday makeup stays flawless all night. This magic mist helps lock in your makeup, keeping it fresh and vibrant throughout the festivities.
Hydrating Mists for a Refreshing Boost
Keep a hydrating mist on hand like Nuxe Very Rose or Caudalie Beauty Elixir for a refreshing boost during long holiday gatherings. This sets your makeup and revitalises your skin, ensuring you look radiant and energised.
