Easy Christmas Glam by Marilyn Cini

I wanted to create a look that everyone can do; those of you who are used to applying makeup and for those whom makeup is not part of their daily routine. But this Easy Christmas Glam I tried to create, I am sure everyone can have a go at. Glitter makes a look feel so glam instantly!

APIEU Full Shot Hidden Contour in 02 Medium Toast

Although this is not really a contour palette in my opinion as the colours are a bit warm, I used it as a bronzer and what I love is that you can create a transition in your bronzer, from light to dark. This makes the bronzer more natural looking. 

BBIA Last Blush in 04 Coral Blossom

Such a lovely colour and applies beautifully.

APIEU Full Shot Routine Eye Palette in 02 Sulky Bunny

I've been using this palette and it's my go-to. It is small to fit in my makeup bag and the colours are so versatile they can go with any look. 

BBIA Last Velvet Lip Tint [V.4 Flower Series] in 19 More Dazzling

Loved this colour. It smells amazing too and glides on beautifully on the lips.

Javin De Seoul Wink Foundation Pact SPF 50+/PA+++

Didn't think I would love a cushion foundation as much as I love this one! You can leave it light coverage or you can build it up more. It comes with a sponge which helps build coverage more, but it is also good with a brush! And it doesn't feel cakey at all! 

BBIA Last Auto Gel Eyeliner in 06 Choco Mousse and S1 Noir S

Amazing! Super long lasting and the slim ones are perfect for tightlining and to create a wing! 

Mizon Visualistic Shadow in Personal Champagne

WOW! Such a stunning colour! The glitter in real life is super gorgeous, pinks and goldens! Such an easy way to add a pop of shimmer without being extra during this festive season! 

What stays in the makeup bag after the holidays

I am between the foundation and my last auto eyeliner. They were already in my makeup before holiday season. But if I had to chose one, I'd go for the foundation–the sponge it comes with it is super handy and easy for touch ups!

Neutral Golden Glam by Grecia Falzon

Glamming up for the holidays has standard expectations to the golden and sparkly at least in my opinion, normally my makeup is very similar when going out for an occasion, but I tend to either go more on pinks, or else on dark black or purple smokey eyes. I am very adventurous with my makeup looks so I tend to stray away from the normal neutrals and go for more vibrant colours. However, I do not feel like these colours fit in with the holiday season, so I go for golds or browns and red lips more than anything else.

Grecia's K-Beauty Faves and Raves

BBIA Never Die in 01 Matte Black

It is so flawless and precise not to mention long lasting, so you can do it easily and put your mind to rest when you have it on.

BBIA Last Blush in 06 Rose Blossom

A little goes a long way with this blush as it highly pigmented, and the colour is exactly the one you see in the container. It does alter on your skin and for me it gives me the perfect rose cheeks that I'm always after.

BBIA Last Auto Eyebrow Pencil Slim in S1 Charcoal

This is the perfect shade for me to have smoked out/soft brows.

Peripera Ink Velvet in 23 Nutty Nude

A matte, long-lasting dark nude lip that has entered my kit and won't be leaving any time soon!

What stays in the makeup bag after the holidays

As a makeup artist, keeping just one product is close to impossible, but I can narrow it down to some staples:

1. BBIA Never Die Eyeliner on its own can create an elaborate look, and I feel like nothing shapes the eye as much as it does.
2. Blusher – I mean it's what gives our face some life back into it.
3. Concealer – I just need it, Mondays can be hard!
4. Lip balm – I never go anywhere without it.
