Your festive season fashion and make-up guide 

It’s the end of the year, with friends and family celebrations in abundance! We’ve got the look for every occasion, so let the festivities begin.

MERRY FRIENDS-MAS
You’ve been invited to a Christmas party with friends, what do you wear? You don’t want to go too formal for this, so a skirt and top combo is perfect. Team it with a pair of block heels to support you when you bust out your dance moves later in the night. (Who said you can’t dance to Boney M?)

Guys, you can go smart casual with a blazer and jeans combo. A pair of loafers or sneakers will go perfectly with this look.

CHRISTMAS OUTFITS
Depending on where you’re spending Christmas, your outfit can be anything from a jumpsuit, to an ultra-glam dress to an easy-breezy skirt and top combo. This jumpsuit is the perfect canvas to dress up with glitzy accessories and a red lipstick.

A suit and sneakers will make him feel comfortable and look fab on your Instagram stories!

Dress your little princess in a cute sparkly dress, she’ll love it! Snap a pic of her next to the Christmas tree in this cute Frozen sparkle mesh dress.

NEW YEAR’S EVE
Sequins! Satin! Glitter! Nothing is too OTT for New Year’s Eve. This Massumi strappy satin dress will shine under the fairy lights.

Men, this Enzo wool touch suit is not only for New Year’s Eve – it’s perfectly versatile for all your 2020 formal events. A wardrobe investment!

FESTIVE SEASON MAKE-UP INSPO
Now that you’ve got your outfits sorted, it’s time to think about your make-up. We’ve got some inspiration for you!

A NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS
Party season is here! If you’re going out with your friends, you’re sure to be on a billion selfies the next day. Make sure your make-up is on point on all of them! This glowy look by celebrity make-up artist, Pat McGrath, will shine even if the flash is off. Check out this article to see how to apply the perfect highlighter.

BLACK TIE EVENT
All focus is on the eyes with the intense and precise graphic eyeliner look. To get a straight line, place a plaster on the outside corner of the eye towards the outer edge of the eyebrow. Use a black pencil to draw the line up towards the brow bone. Do the same for the top of the lid. Remove the plaster and smudge the triangle with black eyeshadow. Swipe your bottom lid with glitter eyeshadow for extra drama.

COCKTAIL PARTY
Bright lips complement any cute little black dress. Give your pout longevity by applying foundation to your lips first. Outline and fill in with a bright lip pencil, then apply a matching lipstick. Apply a dot of shimmer to your cupid’s bow (in the middle of your top lid) to make your lips pop.
