Holiday potlucks, family gatherings, new years parties—there are so many events to prep yourself for this time of year. With so much to do, it’s easy to lose the time to doll yourself up. You’ve been so busy decorating your home, you’ve run out of time to decorate yourself. That’s why we’ve prepared a versatile holiday look that will suit any occasion. This look was done on our very own Annie’s mother, Gabi. She showcases ageless beauty and her beautiful blue eyes made the eyeshadow pop.
Since we emphasize Gabi’s eyes and lips with this look, we want her complexion to be flawless and even. Uncover Up in the shade ’11’ hides any discolorations under her eyes, whilst the Kjaer Weis Cream Foundation in the shade ‘Paper Thin’ covers redness and leaves a poreless finish.
Our Makeup Artist Claudia is filling Gabi’s eyebrows by adding a few strokes of the Kjaer Weis Eyeshadow ‘Grace’. ‘Macao’ by ILIA doubles as a brow tint and keeps everything in place. ‘Bronce’ by Gressa is a shimmery cream eyeshadow, which emphasizes Gabi’s beautiful blue eyes. To add even more glow, Claudia highlights the inner corner of the eyes with the pearly shade ‘Cloud Nine’ by Kjaer Weis. A few coats of ‘Nightfall’ mascara and we are good to go!
Since we are going for a bold lip, Claudia only used a hint of ‘Desired Glow’ on our model’s cheeks. ‘Bang Bang’ by ILIA is a flattering pinky red, which adds a nice pop of color, while not taking away the attention from the shimmery eye look.
This look is easy to transition from day to night, simply go for a darker lip shade. Turn heads this holiday season, with love from Amazingy.

So beautiful!
Is it only “Bang Bang” on the lips? It looks so much different on me — sheer and warm-toned :/

Seeing as it is a tinted lip conditioner, it looks different depending on your undertones and natural lip color. Also, we tried several other colors on the model lips before settling on “Bang Bang”, leaving them stained. This means the color might appear differently than usual. Hope that helps explain it 🙂
