Christmas outfit? Check. Presents for your family and friends? Sorted. Although it might seem like you’ve got everything under control this year, you might just be missing one little thing from your party prep — your makeup, duh.
Sure, you might have put in all of your effort into that dazzling outfit that you’ve carted a few weeks before December even comes, but if you’re leaving your beauty look to the eleventh hour, and you see yourself faltering into a nigh-on look that makes you look more like a dread, we’d suggest you start prepping, stat.
We know, we all have our own preferences when it comes to our festive looks — some like to keep things natural, and others like to go full blown glam. Thing is, with a smorgasbord of makeup to choose from, you’d probably find it tricky to sift through what works (and what doesn’t).
So to guide you through the beauty aspect of your holiday look, we’ve teamed up with actress, model and our December cover girl, Jasmine Sim, and blogger, Guan Min (otherwise known by her moniker, @girlwhocriedwolf) to create 4 different festive looks that you can consider for the perfect holiday ensemble with Burberry Beauty.
LOOK #1: BRIGHT AND ENERGETIC
Going for a neutral palette is one that will never go out of style. Case in point: Jasmine’s bright and energetic number. A flawless canvas with an eyeliner look that will flatter your peepers (and a hint of shimmer for that extra pizzaz on the lids) makes this look one worth copping this season. Not to mention, be mistletoe-ready this season and slather on Burberry Beauty’s Lip Velvet Crush in Magenta on your lips before topping it with Burberry Kisses in Blossom Pink for a plump and kissable pout. Now, pucker up!

LOOK #2: SOPHISTICATED AND ELEGANT
Date-night beauty is whatever you make it — just like this sophisticated and elegant ensemble. The latest edit features a beautiful diffused glow that gives your face a three-dimensional finish and a subtle flush on the cheeks that spices up your look while drawing attention to your bold red lip — which works best if dark lipsticks tend to wash you out.

LOOK #3: BOLD AND CONFIDENT
Mastering this look takes a few things: one being a highlighting stick that works as an eyeshadow and the other, being a lipstick that works as a double duty alternative for your lips and your cheeks. Swap out your eyeshadow palettes and keep things muted on your lids by dabbing on Burberry Beauty’s Fresh Glow Gel Stick, before popping on a dark number on your lips just like this combi on Min. Mix it up with Burberry Beauty’s iconic Lip Velvet Crush in Oxblood before finishing off with a hint of the Burberry Kisses Lip Lacquer in Magenta.

LOOK #4: EFFORTLESS & STYLISH
Festive makeup looks are always extra — but this ensemble is on whole new other level.
Never underestimate the power of an eyeshadow palette, especially this Complete Eye Palette in Smokey Grey by Burberry Beauty, which in this case, can be used on your lids and your cheeks. Yes, you didn’t read that wrong. Swatch it on your lids and flaunt it on your cheeks for a look that’s effortless and stylish. Even with a plethora of makeup to choose from, you’d find it hard to believe that the oddest combinations are surprisingly easy to wear.
