How To Do Monochrome Makeup for the Holidays

Not every occasion calls for festive makeup, and sometimes you want your outfit to get all the attention, which makes this year’s monochrome beauty the perfect solution.  There is a palette for every complexion and so many shades to choose from, that this might just become your favorite holiday look.  If you prefer a nude palette, are timid with color, or in a hurry, then this look is the perfect solution for you.

Start by choosing a neutral to nude color palette that works with your complexion. Apply shadows, blush, contour and lips, building on the depth of the color by adding more product on top and remembering to always blend well to blur the edges.  You want to product to disappear and to shade rather than to add a lot of color.

A nude palette is equally as beautiful when it is matte or glowing so the choice is yours, and goes from day to night by simply layering more color and deepening the shades.  Adding a bit of highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, cupid’s bow, and eyebrow bones will let the light catch your skin and make you not disappear in dim light.  Bonus: these will become your favorite go-to versatile shades even after the holidays are over.
