Beauty Looks That Spread Holiday Cheer

Beauty Looks That Spread Holiday Cheer

By: Elena Ossoski

Smokey eyes, red lips and old Hollywood curls can feel drab once Thanksgiving is a distant memory of the past, and New Year’s Eve creeps up quickly.  At this point, what we all need is a new beauty trick or two to keep the holiday spirit alive and well. Just leave the research to us, sit back and enjoy another hot chocolate--because you definitely deserve it. 

For starters, let’s swap out the smokey eye cop-out with a subtle glittery eye. Grab your metallic shade of choice and an angled shadow brush to paint the perfect elusive line.

Glitter isn’t your thing? No worries. Instead, just add a pop of color to cure your winter blues. Electric blue has come and gone in the mainstream market, but a bold stripe of cobalt is something that a true trendsetter never shies away from. Check out Sephora, Target, Mac and more for your perfect blue hue.

We all love the classic, glamorous Hollywood-inspired tendrils, but it may be time to try something new. For a sophisticated yet fun look, try a slicked-back ponytail and add dimension with curls in the back.

Looking to make a statement? Pull it all back with a trendy hairpiece. Lelet NY, Free People and Zara have options for every price range.

Each of these looks is guaranteed to spruce up your 2020 holiday season. Don’t forget to prep your skin for the harsh winter weather with our staff’s skincare favorites. Be sure to share your photos with us by tagging @um.squaremagazine on Instagram if you try any of the looks featured above!
