Unlock Your Holiday Glam with Expert Tips

The festive season is upon us, and whether you're prepping for family gatherings or exciting parties, it’s time to shine! Gearing up for the holidays doesn't have to be stressful. With expert guidance from celebrity makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell, known for her work with Kelsea Ballerini, you can master your holiday look with ease. Let’s explore top tips to achieve that perfect holiday glam with a personal touch.

Start with Proper Skin Prep for a Flawless Base

Sewell emphasizes that great makeup begins with good skin prep. "Winter weather can amplify dryness," she warns. Her secret weapon? Layering hydrating products! Start off with Rhode Glazing Milk for a pearly glow, followed by Dieux Instant Angel for deep hydration. Don't forget to apply an eye cream to keep the area moisturized and a nourishing lip mask to combat winter chapping. Think of it as laying a strong foundation for your glamorous look!

Embrace Festive Trends: Glitter, Blush, and Bronze

The holidays are the perfect time to experiment with bold trends. Think glittery highlights, rosy blush, and bronze tones. Sewell recommends adding sparkle with products like Fenty’s Diamond Bomb or incorporating seasonal blushes like Summer Friday’s Toasted Terracotta. Her go-to for an eye-catching yet balanced look is a bronze shimmery eyeliner from Victoria Beckham. ``One of my key eye products is a bronze shimmery eyeliner, specifically Victoria Beckham’s, which comes in bronzed cinnamon,`` she said, adding that it adds luminosity without being overwhelming.

Balance is Key: Choose Your Focal Point

When it comes to makeup, balance is everything. If you opt for bold lips, keep your eye makeup simple, and vice versa. Sewell suggests a fresh, radiant finish for the skin to complement your focal point. Using products with a dewy finish enhances your overall glow. "If your eyes or lips draw attention, your skin should complement that,” she clarifies. A clean base with light coverage helps in highlighting your features without overpowering them.

Prolong Your Look: Setting Products for Longevity

Makeup longevity can be a challenge, particularly with rich, creamy products. To avoid the dreaded cakey look, Sewell insists on setting all cream products lightly, finishing with a great setting spray like Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Setting Spray. This staple helps lock in your glam for hours, ensuring you look flawless throughout your celebrations!
