Ask Elyse: Haute Holiday

Dear Elyse,

I'm attending a ritzy holiday party and I want my make-up to match the occasion. Can you tell me how to get a classic holiday look?

Thanks,
Candace

Classic is just the way to go. Not only is it the latest hit with celebrity fashionistas, but it will save you from the worst of embarrassing holiday photos.

Eyes should be elegant with an underlying drama. First you'll want to sweep a light, shimmery shadow from lid to brow bone. On top of that, apply a darker shadow in the same colour family and then a stretch of eyeliner (any dark shade but black) at the base of the lid. Use an eye shadow brush to blend in color starting at your lash line, moving upward. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so that the liner is seamless with the shadow.

Rosy cheeks are always in for winter, but everything in moderation. You don't want your rouge giving you the red light look. Opt for a peachy pink like Napoleon Perdis' Barely Blushing in Rouge and apply one more layer than you're used to, starting light at the base of your cheekbone, deepening at the apple of your cheek, and then fading out again in the upward slant.

You won't want your lips fighting your eyes for attention, so a muted but rosy nude like Napoleon Perdis' DéVine Goddess Lipstick in Harmonia combined with the subtle Gloss Patrol in Tokyo will have the perfect hint of colour and shine.

Hope this helps,
Elyse
