How to Create a Mint Makeup Look That Screams Holiday Fun

STEP 1:

Draw a Wing

Start by drawing on a thick wing using the NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade Macaroon, a vibrant, creamy mint green.
STEP 2:

Set With Shimmer

Using the Urban Decay Naked Cyber Eyeshadow Palette and a small flat brush, press the shade Static on top of the mint liner. Static is a sheer, frosty shade flecked with iridescent blue pearl.

STEP 3:

Make the Inner Corner Stand Out

Line your waterline and extend just past the inner corner of your eye with the Jumbo Pencil. “It creates a really pretty cat eye, and the mint will really make your eye color pop,” Renée says.
STEP 4:

Add Lashes

To finish off the eyes, Renée recommends applying a strip of false lashes that are fluffy but not too dramatic, so you can still see your killer eyeliner skills peeking through behind them.

STEP 5:

Apply Blush

A cool, pink-toned blush, such as the Lancôme Blush Subtil in Aplum, gives your cheeks a flattering wintery flush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks for a natural, rounded look, or to the tops of the cheekbones for more definition.
STEP 6:

Add a Red Lip

For an ombré lip like Renée created here, start by tracing your lip line with a dark red pencil, such as the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner in Brick Red. Then, fill in the center of your lips using a bright, blue-based red. We love the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Reds of Worth Satin Lipstick in Successful Red.
