Holiday Make-up Tutorial: All I Want For Christmas is the Beloved Look

Last weekend at our free monthly workshops in LA and NY, we learned professional tricks and tips for the perfect holiday statement look!

Begin with a clean, toned, moisturized face. Prime the skin with Face Primer. Next, apply MUD’s Cream Foundation for a sheer natural look with flawless coverage. Set the foundation with an ultra light Loose Powder for an ultra smooth finish.

Using the Beloved Kit, here’s how to look your best without over doing it.

Eyes: Lightly sweep Honeysuckle Eye Color on the entire lid with the #330 Shadow Fluff Brush. For creating warmth and dimension into the crease, use the Sienna Eye Color with the #800 Crease Brush. Place the brush on the outer corner of the crease, careful not to over extend the outer corner, and move toward the inner corner of the crease lightening up on the pressure of the brush as you go. This will allow the color to taper and sheer out. Remove the excess with a tissue. With the same brush blend the color upward to create a soft edge.  A little goes a long way, so make sure to build the color. For added definition, use the Graphite Eye Color on the top lash line with #210 Angle Liner Brush. Top off the eye treatment with a coat of Volumizing Mascara from the Beloved Essentials.

Cheek: Use the Glow Cheek Color, a sheer peach color with a subtle golden shimmer warms up the cheeks.

Lips: Havana is the top lip color this season. Lightly apply the Havana Satin Lipstick with #310 Lip Brush for an accurate application.

Using the Beloved Kit again, it’s time to play up your best features!

Eyes: Begin with the Honeysuckle Eye Color on the brow bone with #330 Shadow Fluff Brush. After the application is complete on both eyes, brush off the excess color on a tissue. Load up the #330 Shadow Fluff Brush with Moss Eye Color and stipple on the entire lid until you achieve the desired depth. After, to warm up the eye, use the Sienna Eye Color in the crease with #800 Crease Brush. Start from the outer corner and follow the crease toward the inner corner of the eye. Remove any excess color from the brush afterwards. In circular motions, soften the hard line into the highlight with #800 Crease Brush. For added depth, reinforce the crease with the Graphite Eye Color using the same technique that was used for the Sienna. Next, use a mixture of the Moss and Graphite to create a beautiful drop shadow on the lower lash line with #210 Angle Liner Brush.  Tip: The Eye Colors are highly pigmented. Take small steps. It’s always easier to add product versus trying to remove them. For added depth and definition, apply the Black Eye Pencil from the Beloved Essentials to the top and lower lash lines. For a softer look, soften the eyeliner with the #210 Angle Liner Brush. Top off the eye treatment with a coat of Volumizing Mascara. And finally, for a polished well-groomed brow, try MUD’s Brow Fix featured in the Beloved Essentials.

Cheek: Use the Glow Cheek Color, a sheer peach color with a subtle golden shimmer to warm up the cheeks.

Lips: Apply the Havana Satin Lipstick with #310 Lip Brush and build the color until the desired depth.
