Holiday Party Makeup with Ulta

Happy Thursday, everyone, I’m back with a really fun party makeup look! I NEVER do my makeup this dramatic, but I think it’s so fun to do for a holiday party – eyeshadow, fake lashes, a red lip and the whole works! Read on for a list of the full products I used (all from Ulta!).

Ulta products used:
Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation // NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette // Eyelure Vegas Nay ‘Absolute Allure’   // Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade color ‘Soft Brown’  // It Cosmetics ‘Chic in the City’ Brushes // Urban Decay After Glow Highlighter Palette // Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara // MAC lipstick “Lady Danger”
wearing: bow dress

I started by applying my normal foundation and mascara (by the way I just started using this mascara and I LOVE it! Almost as much as “Better Than Sex”), then I did my eyeshadow. I have been dying to try out this NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette – especially the shimmer shadows – so I picked it up from Ulta last week! I applied the darker shades in my crease and a shimmer shadow all over the lid. Next I applied false lashes – I usually only wear false lashes for special occasions, but when I do my absolute favorite brand is Vegas Nay from Ulta. I’m wearing these lashes in the post – I trim mine down and apply them only to the outer corner of my eyes for a dramatic, cat-eye look. They’re absolutely perfect for any Christmas or New Year’s Eve parties you have to go to! The final, finishing touches were highlighter – I used this palette in the “no angel” shade – and a red lip – MAC lipstick “Lady Danger”  (if you’ve been reading my blog this holiday season, it’s been my go-to!).

Let me know if you have any questions about this look!

xoxo

  17. Hi! Can you tell me what color nail polish you have on in this post?

    12.15.17Reply
    • Hey Hailey! It's an SNS color but unfortunately I don't remember the exact name! If you go into your nail salon and look at their SNS colors you will probably be able to find a similar color!

  23. Girl You are looking so freaking good! I really love this kind of makeup. Natural but glowy and so glamorous. I did this simple kind of makeup in my brother's wedding by Lina Cameron, who is one of the best artist in my region, also she trains best makeup lesson here. Everyone overwhelmed so much!I did same kind of makeup for reception too and this kind of dress too ! Red lips really suits with black so well! But, I miss ulta here. When ever I visit U.S.A never forget to visit this store.
