Your 20’s and 30’s are all about bringing your personality alive through your beauty look. When your 40's arrive, it’s time to start toning it down and adding a more sophisticated touch. Here’s how to create the best holiday looks at any age.
Eyes
20 & 30
Embrace the holiday season and use its excuse to wear all the glitter and metallic shadows you can find. Don’t be afraid to go for a glitzy shade, just remember to keep the rest of the face more neutral to avoid going overboard. We love Wet n' Wild's Glitter Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios. They come in several shades and make shade matching easy.
40 & 50+
Glitter isn’t the only way to create holiday eyes that pop. For a more chic and sophisticated look, opt for matte shadows in festive colors like plum and forest green. Elizabeth Arden makes a great one in Shimmering Emerald. Try incorporating them into a smokey eye.
Lips
20 & 30
This is your time to experiment and have fun with lipstick shades. Don’t be afraid to try trends you wouldn’t typically go for. Be daring this season by opting for a deep, brown. Shocker, right? Try this one called Unique by Dior.
40 & 50+
Hydration is the secret to maintaining lips that will last as long as the holidays. Prep your lips by hydrating and then applying a cream based lipstick to create a perfectly plump pout. Try a raspberry shade for a festive flair and lips that will pop. We like Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in Plum Orchid.
Nails
20 & 30
Forest green is the shade of the season. Take it to the next level by adding a thin black stripe for some fun, yet simple nail art. We're in love with this one by Trust Fund Beauty. Hello, gold specks!
40 & 50+
Sick of red? Keep it classic and try a whitish shade for on-trend sophistication. Nails Inc. makes great ones.
Hair
20 & 30
Take advantage of hair accessories. Steal a page from Kylie Jenner’s look book and try a metallic hair tattoo to really standout at the holiday party. From jeweled accents to geometric clips, the bolder the better. Want to try a hair tattoo? Here are some by Scunci that are super affordable.
40 & 50+
Keep it sleek. The key here is to attain simplicity without feeling or looking boring. A deep side part is enough of a statement.
