Easy Christmas Makeup Trends we Love Right Now

Easy Christmas Makeup Trends we Love Right Now_LittleSoapCompany.co.ukChristmas party season is upon us and if you’re anything like us here at Little Soap HQ, you might be wondering how on earth you’re going to juggle it all! The festive season is such an amazing time for getting together with friends and family and celebrating the year’s achievements, whilst looking forward to all that next year will bring… but it’s also one of the most busy and chaotic times of the year too! Often, we’re dashing from work to meet-up to party to more meet-ups… and all with limited time to prepare in-between. How to transform our day faces to night faces without stripping it all down and starting again- thus adding at least another hour to get ready? Stop. Take a breath. No need to over-think it. Here are some really easy Christmas makeup trends we love right now- so easy that you can definitely carry them off with minimal effort and still manage to look as glam as ever.

A splash of colour 

If you tend to go for a more natural look through the day, and rarely wear much more when you go out of an evening, then you’ve got the easiest option of all. Just add a simple splash of colour to either the eyes or the lips and seriously- you’re ready to go. We love love love the idea of a slick of electric blue eyeliner to immediately open up the eyes and add a daring colour pop to compliment any part dress. Likewise, a bold red lip can transform any look from office to party and really requires no prep at all.

Tip: if you go for a statement eye colour, keep the lips nude, and vice versa. A bold lip requires a subtle eye- less work for you, which. is always a winner when time is of the essence!

We love: After Dark Certified Organic Vegan Lipstick from Inika Organic and Steel Blue Sketch Market Eyeliner from Too Faced.

The highlight of the show

A good highlighter can make all the difference when it comes to just another night out and a Christmas party night out. This trend is another Easy Christmas Makeup Trends we Love Right Now_LittleSoapCompany.co.ukwinner for those of us who prefer a more simple look- but can also be equally as effective if you like to wear a little more too. Go for glitter this party season!

Tip: Use a dense brush to apply powder highlighter and remember to sweep it on lightly for a shimmeringly subtle look.

Tip: Use a primer underneath your eyeshadow to help it stay put while you party the night away.
