Glamorous holidays: Christmas make-up for sparkling eyes

Christmas is a time of light and sparkle. When candles, fairy lights and glittering decorations make the world shine, your make-up should reflect this festive magic too. The focus here is on the eyes – they should be expressive, tell stories and give every look that certain something.

With the right tips and products for eyelashes and eyebrows, you can conjure up a distinctive festive look, from subtly elegant to glamorously radiant.

The basis for perfect a Christmas make-up

Before you can start applying eyeshadow, mascara and other cosmetics, it is important to have a good base. Especially in winter, when heated air dries out and stresses the skin, the sensitive eye area needs intensive care. A moisturising cream smooths fine lines and ensures that concealer and make-up can be applied evenly. A primer then helps to make eye make-up more durable and intensify colours – for long Christmas evenings full of sparkle and joy.

Eyelashes with wow effect: the key to a festive look

Eyelashes are the focal point of successful eye make-up. They give the eyes expression and intensity. With the EYELASH ACTIVATING SERUM, eyelashes become 50% longer, stronger and darker in just 6-8 weeks. For expressive and thick eyelashes, just in time for the festive season.

How to achieve dreamy eyelashes:

• A beautiful curl opens up the eyes and makes them look more alert straight away. To achieve this, place an eyelash curler as close as possible to the lash line and clamp the unmade-up lashes for approx. 20 seconds. Pro tip: Warm up the eyelash curler with a hairdryer to achieve a stronger effect and even more curl.
• The BLACK NANO MASCARA is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves voluminous, long and jet-black lashes. It combines intense colour pigments with innovative nanotechnology to coat the lashes from root to tip and visibly lengthen them. Its highly effective care formula with selected peptides and panthenol strengthens the lash structure, moisturises and promotes natural growth in the long term. The result: a deep black, defined look – for expressive lashes that emphasise every movement. First apply the mascara to the upper tips of the lashes and then coat from root to tip to envelop each lash.
• If you love precise separation and perfect definition, you can then comb your lashes with the HIGH PRECISION EYELASH COMB. The eyelash comb has fine metal teeth that are close together and gently grip each individual lash. For a perfectly shaped finish and radiantly beautiful eyes.

Styling your eyebrows correctly – the frame of your Christmas look

Eyebrows are the silent stars of any make-up look. They frame the face and give your festive look expression and that certain something extra. The highly effective EYEBROW RENEWING SERUM promotes eyebrow growth and replenishes fine hairs. For 80% denser and fuller brows with more colour intensity in just 6-8 weeks. Bring on the holidays!

Step-by-step guide to perfect Christmas brews:

• The innovative, tinted eyebrow gel EYEBROW ENHANCER COLOR & CARE is available in blonde and brown. It offers a 4-in-1 solution for promoting growth, caring for, tinting and fixing eyebrows. The gel thickens fine, sparse hairs using high-quality peptide complexes, leaving them shiny and supple. Fuller brows are optimally contoured and fixed in place. In the long term, the gel prevents hair breakage and provides deep, lasting care.
•  The colourless EYEBROW SILK PERFECTION BALM lifts, shapes and holds every hair in place. For perfect styling, apply a small amount of balm with the SILK PERFECTION BRUSH and brush through the brows with upward strokes, starting at the front. Brush continuously in the desired direction while fixing.
• For a festive touch, the brow arches can be accentuated with a light highlighter, which visually lifts the brows and creates a soft glow.

Which colours should you use for Christmas make-up?

When it comes to Christmas make-up, many people think of gold, red and glitter. The trick is to use these colours harmoniously and combine them subtly.

A classic festive look can be achieved with gold and bronze. A soft champagne gold on the upper eyelid combined with a darker brown shade in the crease adds depth and warmth. A touch of gold in the inner corner of the eye opens up the gaze and makes the eyes appear larger. Fine glitter particles over the eyeshadow reflect the light, creating a beautiful, festive shimmer.

Silver, anthracite and rosé are synonymous with a modern, elegant Christmas look. Smokey eyes in grey with a hint of silver shimmer look classy and mysterious – ideal for Christmas parties or a romantic dinner. A delicate line of metallic anthracite eyeliner along the upper lash line visually thickens the lashes and adds depth to the eyes. The style is rounded off with a cool, silvery highlighter.

A light kajal on the waterline opens up the eyes and makes them appear more alert, while a dark kajal in the outer corner of the eye adds depth and contour.

When your eyes sparkle, the rest can remain subtle

Since the focus should be on the eyes, the rest of the make-up should be a little more subtle. A nude lip gloss and a bronzer or blush in brown/rosewood tones are the perfect complement to a warm festive look. A delicate, rosy lipstick and a blush in rosé/mauve tones harmonise well with cool eye make-up.

The finishing touch is a fixing spray, which sets the make-up and keeps you looking fresh all evening long.
