Party Makeup Tutorial [Complete]: Right on Trend for Winter 2024

Want to stand out during the holidays with a makeup look that's out of the ordinary? Don't move, you're in the right place. The catwalks and runways of the end of 2024 are great sources of inspiration to spread the end-of-year trends in preview to your circle of friends and family.

For Christmas and New Year, we're going for an extra-luminous glazed complexion and a discreet blush that are brightened up by frankly "grunge" eyes and a burgundy mouth. And because we already know that you'll prefer to make these looks your own in a "clean" version, we've put together a complete tutorial based solely on beautiful brands that comply with our charter, such as Ilia, RMS and Absolution.

For my complexion: a glowy finish like a no-makeup make-up

The concept: simulate a fresh, flawless complexion that reflects light while remaining transparent. To do this, opt for foundations with a light texture like CC cream. If necessary, camouflage your dark circles and small imperfections with a fluid concealer, to be tapped discreetly with your fingertip.

1. Apply RMS SuperNatural Radiance Serum as a base all over your face. Its pearly formula with perfecting soft-focus technology is just what you need to achieve a glazed, donut-like look! Choose it in light shade if you have fair skin, medium shade if you have dark skin, and rich shade if you have dark skin.

2. As a light foundation, use the Super Tinted Moisturizer SPF50 , also from RMS. This is a hybrid product, half-cream, half-foundation, ideal for obtaining light, breathable and luminous coverage. For an even more airy look, distribute it in thin layers over your face using the large kabuki polisher brush .

3. Continue to pump up the glow with ReDimension Hydra Dew Luminizer in Prosecco Fizz (a warm, glowing champagne). Hey presto! Swipe along the bridge of your nose, temples, top of your cheekbones, tip of your chin, and under your brows… and you’ve got a multifaceted complexion that catches the light from every angle.

For my cheeks: the Igari trend for a healthy glow effect

The concept: take inspiration from Japanese makeup vibes to apply your blush without looking like it and imitate the natural blush of the skin. So we pink the cheekbones, but also other more surprising areas of the face (you'll see!) until we get that porcelain complexion we all dream of.

1. Start by taking the Ilia Multi-Stick in the shade of your choice. For a flushed cheek effect, see for example the shades All of me (for light skin) or A fine romance (for darker skin). Thanks to its cream texture, you can apply it and tap it directly with your finger on your skin for a more precise and intuitive makeup.

2. Another option: the healthy glow cheek & lip cream from the Aime brand , in a pretty crushed raspberry color, perfect for reproducing the Igari makeup on your winter complexion.

3. Apply your blush to the top of your cheekbones, just at the end of the rounded part, at the border with the hollow of the eye. Then blend it horizontally towards the nose and temples. Also apply blush to the tip of your nose, your cupid's bow and your eyelids. Blend, blend, blend... and admire!

For my eyes: grunge with lots of eyeliner

The concept: load the eyes with intense and dark makeup. Your best allies for this step: eyeliner, which we do not hesitate to thicken the line, but also the famous black pencil to apply in the mucous membrane. It is up to you to dose this "grunge" spirit according to the result you wish to obtain.

1. Use the black Straight Line pencil from RMS Beauty . Draw a line on your mobile eyelid, along your upper lashes, and also in your mucous membrane, overflowing very slightly on the lower lashes. Use the foam tip of the pencil to slightly smoke your lines in a halo style, as if you wanted to create a smoky eye makeup.

2. Climb up the intensity and definition by adding liquid eyeliner, like Absolution liner . Position yourself at the base of the upper lashes and draw a line. Finish it with a thick comma. Adapt the thickness of your line to the shape of your eyelids and your desires.

3. Finish with a generous touch of mascara. The idea is to play the "spider lashes" card and thicken your lashes as much as possible. Here, we recommend Absolution's intense mascara. Have fun sticking your lashes together with the tip of the brush and layering the mascara until you get a really dramatic fringe of lashes.

For my lips: a bold 100% burgundy look

The concept: play on the contrasts between a natural glazed complexion and a festive mouth that assumes itself. The 2024 trend for lips puts the burgundy color in the spotlight. And that's good, because burgundy is the perfect red to get through the winter season with character and elegance.

1. For those who focused on the eyes in the previous step: keep it soft with RMS Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm in Twilight Lane. Apply it generously to your lips as the last step of your makeup routine. Keep the tube with you for a quick touch-up during the evening or between two appetizers.

2. For those who have kept their eyes light: accentuate your mouth with intense makeup. Ideally, start by outlining it with a dark burgundy lip pencil, which you can blend over your lips for a more sophisticated effect. Then apply Ilia Color Block Lipstick in Rumba.

3. The finishing touch: Take a little of the highlighter you used for your complexion on the tip of your finger. Tap it just at the level of your cupid's bow to add plumpness to your beautiful burgundy lips. A detail that can make all the difference!
