By Catherine Santino | December 1, 2020

There are so many reasons to love the holiday season — food, friends, family, fun — but undoubtedly, one of our favorite parts is the makeup, especially clean, vegan makeup from bareMinerals. Holiday glam is like no other. Whether it’s a bold red lip, champagne shimmer or a pop of gold, we’re all in. 

Here, beauty influencer Maya Galore walks us through a holiday makeup tutorial featuring a  warm, bronzy eye and neutral lip that not only compliments the holiday season, but is a perfect go-to look for any occasion.

 What to use to create a holiday look:

BROW MASTER Sculpting Pencil (Maya’s shade is Coffee)
STRENGTH & LENGTH Serum-Infused Brow Gel in shade Clear
COMPLEXION RESCUE Hydrating Foundation Stick SPF 25 (Maya’s shade is Cinnamon 10.5)
Smoothing Face Brush
BARESKIN Complete Coverage Serum Concealer (Maya’s shade is Dark to Deep)
Shade & Diffuse Eye Brush
GEN NUDE Eyeshadow Palette in Latte
The Blender Brush
Expert Shadow & Liner Brush
LASTING LINE Long-Wearing Eyeliner in shade Absolute Black
LASHTOPIA Mega Volume Mineral-Based Mascara
BOUNCE & BLUR Blush in shade Mauve Sunrise
MINERALIST Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in shade Memory

How to create a holiday makeup look:

-Maya likes to begin with her eyebrows, to help create a frame for her face. Begin by using the pencil side of BROW MASTER Sculpting Pencil to fill, then flip it over to brush through with the spoolie side.

-Define brow hairs and keep them in place with STRENGTH & LENGTH Serum-Infused Brow Gel.

-To create an even, radiant complexion, swipe COMPLEXION RESCUE Hydrating Foundation Stick SPF 25 onto your face. Then blend using the Smoothing Face Brush.

-Next, conceal under eye circles with the BARESKIN Complete Coverage Serum Concealer. You can also apply the concealer down your nose, above your lip and on your chin to highlight. Blend it all in using the Shade & Diffuse Eye Brush.

-Using the GEN NUDE Eyeshadow Palette in Latte, blend the shade Solstice into your crease with The Blender Brush. Then, pick up the shade Firefly with your fingertip and apply all over your lid. To add depth to your eyeshadow look, blend the shade Spirit into your crease, between where you placed Solstice and Firefly. To finish, place Spirit on your bottom lash line using the small liner side of the Expert Shadow & Liner Brush.

-For extra definition, apply LASTING LINE Long-Wearing Eyeliner in the shade Absolute Black to the outer corners of both your upper and lower lash lines. Using the smudge tip end, blend the liner out to create a cat eye effect.

-Put the finishing touches on your eyes by going back to your eyeshadow palette and blending the shade Solstice all across your lower lash line using the liner side of the Expert Shadow & Liner Brush. Then, apply LASHTOPIA Mega Volume Mineral-Based Mascara.

-Next, apply BOUNCE & BLUR Powder Blush in shade Mauve Sunrise to the apples of your cheeks. This formula is fingertip friendly, so you can build it up to your desired intensity.

-Finish this holiday makeup look with MINERALIST Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in the shade Memory, a beautiful neutral rose.
