Holiday Makeup Look: Jewel Toned Eyes

December 10, 2024

Want to make a lasting impression this holiday season? We know exactly what you need: Jewel Tones💎! Specifically in your makeup looks. We’re talking teal, marigold, ruby, purple, and emerald to make the eyes pop. Don’t be shy – bring on the gold, glitz, and glam!

This dazzling effect creates a statement no matter the type of celebration. Date night, dinner with the girls, Christmas market, work party, holiday festivities... the list goes on. And did we mention it’s easy?!

Eyeshadow

Step 1: Apply a black cream base all over the eyelids, starting at the base of the lid by your natural lashes. Blend upwards to gradually diffuse into the crease so there aren’t any harsh lines.

Step 2: Add a metallic jewel-toned pigment on top of the black cream. We recommend doing this in a gentle patting and sweeping motion to ensure you cover the entire area while minimizing fallout.

Step 3: Add more shine! Apply an ultra-icy reflective shimmer above the jewel-toned pigment. You want this over the entire brow bone.

Pro-Tip: Layer multiple shimmers, highlighters and pigments to reflect different angles of light.

Lashes

The essential finishing touch! Velour’s Effortless Lash Kit has everything you need to create the perfect holiday lash look. Including the bestselling style Understated, a mini Too Easy Lash Applicator for precise application, and mini Glue & Go Pen for a mess-free, beginner-friendly experience.

Step 1: Shake the Glue & Go Pen and apply it directly onto your natural lash line from inner to outer to corner. Don’t forget to pop this in your bag for touch-ups on the go!

Step 2: Using the Too Easy Lash Applicator, place Understated as close to your natural lash line as possible and adjust as necessary.

Cheeks

Step 1: Gently layer a shimmery berry-pink blush on the cheeks to bring warmth and glow to the skin. This is where you want to balance the dramatic tones on the eyes with a pop of color to the cheeks.
