Inspired by the allure of all the holiday sweets, I wanted to create a look that felt playful and bursting with color! Start by choosing three complimentary colors of eyeshadow. Apply each shadow in a different section of the eye from the inner corner all the way over to the cheekbone. Begin blending each shadow in light layers to get a watercolor effect. Continue adding more eyeshadow where you want to intensify the color for more depth. Finish the look with a lip color 2 shades brighter than your natural color. This look is pure joy!

For this look I was inspired by the joy of the holiday season. I used shades of rose golds and bronzes on the eyes and finished with a subtle but confident wing liner.
