My holiday plans are low key. We will travel to see family – a short road trip. I will keep it simple with some of my Bobbi Brown shadows and creamy lip color because they are easy and versatile.
Thanks!
I have no plans for holidays yet, but I’ll surely want to wear some super iper mega sparkling polish!!!!
For Thanksgiving, I’ll probably do a golden-bronze eye and a reddish lip!
go out with my friends!
black smokey eyes, and nude lips!
i am planning to spend this holiday with my family, so my makeup will be casual, no lipstick but maybe some eyeshadow and mascara
My holiday plan is to have my 2 yr old daughter help put up our Xmas decoration. I am hoping to make this a tradition and get her to appreciate family time early on.
Also, my second favorite thing next to makeup collecting – BAKING!!! I will getover my fear of pie dough…that’s a promise!
I heard in SF there might be a Dicken’s Christmas Ball, so I might plan on attending that wearing something victorian-style maybe? I would go for a slightly smoked up but still natural eye mu, maybe my new Guerlain Passy palette!~~
Just hanging out with family
so my makeup will be neutrals and golds.. suits the East Indian skintone really well
Just hanging out with family
so my makeup will be neutrals and golds..
Holidays with the family and maybe a night out with friends. I think i’ll use all my darkest smokey makeup cause i really miss it and i dont have enough opportunities to wear it.
With various holiday festivities coming up, I might add shimmering golds and coppers to upgrade my eye makeup look.
may go to vegas. either way i’m going to wear a smokey eye!
with the family and friends…. im wearing a soft dusty purple smokey and natural pink lips and cheeks.
One of my holiday plans is to take a week-long Mexican Riviera cruise with my whole family. Honestly, I plan to wear as little makeup as possible (the “ugly American”). Oh ok, on formal night, I’ll get gussied up with the full face (Giorgio Armani foundation, Nars blush, Laura Mercier mascara and Dior eyeshadows).
i’m going to be at home wearing very bright red or berry lips!
I’m planning on visiting my family and wearing glam winged eyeliner and bright lips!
my plans are only with family. i plan to wear an all natural look with shiny pink lips.
Looks like I’ll be home! I just got a sample makeup kit from E.L.F yesterday so I’ll probably be experimenting with that… Maybe not even wearing but just putting on, taking off, putting on, taking off!
I would be attending a family get-together on Christmas Day, and I plan to wear frosty white eye makeup and a red lip.
Party Party Party! Stating at Thanksgiving and going through the New Year! Drama is the key word for the makeup.
Surreal violet, Estee Lauder. Perfect for holiday´s day and night parties!
Going to visit family and friends, just natural makeup with a wash of shimmer e/s
As well as the Guerlain sublime powder I will also use the new eyeshadow quad and Bee lipstick.
My holidays are always fairly boring since only my direct family lives in the state. We usually sit around and watch A Christmas Story whenever it’s on TV. I’m thinking green smokey eyes with pink/gold lips.
I will be seeing the inlaws and plan on wearing(hopefully) my EL extravagent gold es palette for christmas morning
I’m going to a family thing in Albuquerque. I’ll probably wear Benefit’s Sunday Funday palette because it’s very travel-friendly. I’ll also bring the purple eyeliner from MAC’s feline release. I love the wet-look liquid with the felt tip applicator. It’s very user-friendly & lasts forever.
Always spent with family. Love that! I like a neutral eye and pretty lip. Searching for my HG foundation.
Always with the family for the holidays, no vacation!! I will use dark purple and golds for my eyes and light pink for my cheeks (my new fave)…but definitely lots of shimmer and glitter on my cheekbones and my favorite mix for lip colors; Lancome lip products La Laque gloss in digital berry as a base with Timeless Color Design cream lipstick layered over.
I’ll be going to a wedding during the holidays. Will be wearing Quo’s holiday palette or hopefully, EL Extravagant Golds
I’ll be celebrating with family and friends. probably will wear a cute sweater with cute boots… and make up will be using UD naked palette and some nude lips
I’m planning to go for a ski/snowboard trip with the friends. Generally I don’t bring too much make up, just MAC mineralized skinfinish, eyeliner and lip balm for when I’m not on the slopes.
I always want to do a berry lip with a champagne/shimmery white eye, like a snow queen type look. Maybe I’ll actually do it this year.
For Christmas, my uncle is also throwing his wedding dinner since it’s so hard to get the whole family together. I’ll probably go for something sophisticated – a bold red berry lip (this lipstick would be perfect!
) with winged cat eyeliner and a light beige lid
for Christmas which is also my BIRTHDAY, I’m going to wear an antique gold/dark olive green eye makeup with winged liner and lots of mascara and possibly individual lashes. I’ll go for natural but polished skin, and Shiseido Automatic Lip Crayon #2 … but I probably won’t get around to any of that until after 4:00 .. and if I get any new goodies, that will probably derail my plan!
I don’t have big plans this year; we’ve decided to be super stress-free and low key. I will be wearing dark berry stained lips and glittery nail polish though!
Just bought a new red dress for the holidays! I’ll probably be matching it with a more subtle smokey eyed look and red lipstick~
Holidays always find us homebound, which is A-OK in my book, as the Christmas holiday isn’t so much for me as it is for my kids
It’s THEIR day to stay in their PJs and play with the toys they’ve opened, and for me & my husband to watch and take pleasure in their fun
And while they’re playing, I’ve got all the time in the world to put on my full face LOL — smokey eyes and a neutral lip
(pretty much the standard for me LOL)
I’ll just be having Christmas lunch with the family, but I plan to wear a red lip (Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon!) with some shimmery gold eye makeup.
For the holiday season, I will be hosting the entire time. I’ll be wearing a classic holiday red lip and gold shimmery eye, changed up with smokey bronzy eyes and neutral eyes.
I will be spending quality time with my husband this holiday season! He is in the Navy and was at sea last year so I was all by myself in a brand new town and was miserable. I am def planning on attending midnight mass on Christmas so my makeup will not be super flashy but my nails will probably be quite festive!
We are having a big party, and i’m planning to wear bobbi brown sultry eyes palette, and nude lip with contoured cheeks
I am planning to have a rest and enjoy my time
hanging out with friend and have a drawing course
I will do a smokey bronze makeup with nude lip
Or
purple liner with light pink lip
for sure a natural bronze blush ( Palladio ) I like it
At home!!playing with colors..what about a snowy look??a lot of white and silver eyeshadow..i’ll try that one!!
I have no real plans yet, may travel. But I’ll be home lusting after some of these holiday kits,lol.
For New Year’s Eve I’m planning a smokey eye/nudey lips combination, with a touch of glitter on the eyes, just have to try on a couple of looks before I decide the definite one!
I still have no plans for the holidays, sooo I’ll have to buy clothes and makeup when I decide what I’m gonna do XD
So I commented yesterday that I’d be wearing and experimenting with my brand new ELF mini-makeup kit. I tried swatching it in the middle of the night after I woke up at 1:30 am, and though, hell, why don’t I just swatch it and share it here; the quality was much better than I expected to be (I am prejudiced against low prices.) The blush/bronze duo in particular closely mimic two much pricier, hyped blushes. So-swatching!
I’ll have a vacantion with my family and because I have an one years old daughter my make-up would be as simple as posible,but in pink anyways ,my favourite colours.
I’ll be wearing purple smokey eyes for a play this christmas. will match it with my eggplant costume. play’s entitled, “a veggie merry christmas”. neat, huh?
We will spend Christmas at home, just hubby, the children and me, so I’ll probably not do anything too glam, but thinking maybe some green and gold eyeshadows for Christmas day anyway.
