**Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Holiday Makeup Look**

As we approach the holiday season, it's time to elevate our makeup game with a festive and glamorous look. In this article, we'll follow along as a talented beauty expert shares her step-by-step guide to creating a stunning holiday makeup look.

To begin, let's start with the foundation of the look: the eyes. The beauty expert starts by placing a brush on her lower lash line, and then proceeds to "lick" it up, creating a seamless blend from the lash line to the crease. She emphasizes that this is the starting point for the shape of the eye, but feels free to adjust it according to personal preference. For those with higher or more angular eyes, she suggests going up higher to create a more dramatic look.

Once the initial shape is established, the expert moves on to blending the colors in the crease. She takes her brush and tilts it slightly against her skin, using a light touch to diffuse the colors and avoid harsh lines. This technique helps create a clean and fresh appearance while still maintaining definition.

The next step involves creating a transition color above the initial shape. The expert mixes two shades from the #5 palette (a blend of neutral and metallic tones) and applies them to the upper lash line, using a light hand to soften the edges. By angling her brush against her skin and stroking it in a smooth motion, she creates a seamless transition between the different colors.

To add depth and dimension, the expert adds a shimmery light gold shade from the #7 palette to the brow bone, carefully applying it with a small brush to create a precise shape. She then sets this area with a concealer, making sure to stamp it onto her skin in bold strokes. By setting the concealer in place, she creates a sharp, defined edge that adds depth and dimension to the overall look.

With the eye makeup complete, the expert moves on to add more drama to the look. She applies a liquid eyeliner to create a sharp, cat-eye shape, carefully winging it outwards from the outer corner of her eye. The key is to leave a small gap open at the end of the wing, allowing for a softer, more subtle effect.

Finally, the expert adds a highlight to the inner corner of her eye with a brow bone highlighter. This helps to create a bright, radiant effect that draws attention upwards and outwards, framing her face with a healthy glow.

To warm up the overall look, the expert applies Private Island Bronzer to her cheeks and forehead, creating a sun-kissed glow that adds depth and dimension to her complexion.

For the final touch, she highlights her inner corners with a special effect highlighter, called Kilowatt Highlighter Duo in Lightning Dust. This gives her skin a radiant, electric blue sheen that's simply mesmerizing.

To complete the look, the expert applies Fenty Beauty MOT Mosel lipstick in Freckle Fiesta, a stunning brick orange-red shade that adds a pop of color to her overall appearance. With its classic red lip formula and modern twist, this shade is sure to make a statement at any holiday party or gathering.

As we conclude our step-by-step guide to creating a holiday makeup look, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to all the beauty experts who inspire us every day.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enha well guys it's me Nicky hello oh my god I'm so honored oh my god I'm so honored today's video is in partnership with venti beauty Rihanna's makeup brand hello on the 26th of December Fanta beauties coming out with a whole bunch of eyeshadow palettes and they're called snap shadows with these you can mix and match and literally snap together your favorite palette combination so let's say I have number 6 here so let's say you're liking number six of these smoky tones but you're like excuse me hi number two right here needs to be added to that I need to create my own mixture with that all you have to do to combine your two favorite palettes is literally look at it it's gonna happen snap them together so one side you know is number six or number two and this is perfect for on-the-go so Fanta beauties asked me to be the one to introduce you to them in today's video I am beyond honored that Fanta Beauty trusts me enough to be the one to do this for you and oh my god guys we're succeeding at life right now today I want to create a fun holiday makeup look that is festive glam and totally Nicki and of course you're on my channel so you're in the mood for a Nicki glam okay if you were going for something natural right I don't think this is the channel for you so if you're ready for a transformative holiday glam makeup tutorial then keep watching all right this face is in need of a whole lot of love because we have a new visitor in town the sins are coming to town yeah my face is just not having it today so I'm uh I'm a covering it all up with a whole lot of love of makeup of course for the eyeshadow portion of this video featuring Fenty I will be using the snap shadows there's a palettes six pans every single palette but before we get to all of that fun it is time for the base because during this holiday season and I might have got time to slack around it is time for a beat you could basically call this a full face using Fenty beauty only so if you've always wanted a full face of Fenty on my channel today's that day Congrats so I'm first going in with this I love this as you can clearly see this is the true matte primer this will keep your makeup on until you take it off I love using this for days where I truly want to make sure that my complexion is matte and primed and I use this mainly on the days where I don't want a super super long lasting base now if you have dry skin like I tend to have like dry areas of my face you want to be a little bit careful with this you kind of want to pinpoint exactly where you apply this you could apply this to just the oiliest part of your face so like the t-zone or wherever you get oily it is an incredible primer it is so good but just be mindful on where you place it when you have drier skin once we're primed it is time for a foundation and today I am using this I haven't tried this on my channel before this is the pro filter hydrating foundation by fancy Beauty so the true matte primer is going to ensure that a hydrating foundation is going to last longer so I'm gonna go in with the colors 140 and 130 and let's get to glam and baby so as you can see the coverage on this foundation is a little less intense than what I usually gravitate towards you know people are so demanding for me to change it up a little bit more and not go full coverage every single damn video so baby it's here now it's time for concealer and I'm going in with the fenty Beauty number 140 all right once that is blended in like perfection I'm not gonna set my face using the pro filter at loose setting powder in butter or my globe abs I went off camera do my brows did one eye and oh my god I am living for this cut crease fantasy it is about to get fierce up in here so I was inspired so this is what happened in my mind okay so there's a lot of things that happen when I try to come up with the look so at first I wanted to do a look inspired by the Queen Rihanna so then I came onto her makeup artist Instagram who is Priscilla Ono and Priscilla has been on my channel she's done my makeup I know Rihanna's makeup artist has done my face and I came across this I came across this right here this is a look she did using the trophy wife collection they came out with an entire trophy wife collection that gold liner okay that gold liner is just winning at life but then I wanted to change things up a little bit and make a little bit different and I have been getting so many tweets saying that you've been watching glow up and glow up is a makeup competition show and I was a guest judge on it so glow up the one you're watching on Netflix is based in the UK but I also was a guest judge on glow up Norway a very talented girl won that episode and her name is Malin and Malin created this look right here iconic so I am combining Priscilla's trophy wife eyeliner look and mixing it up with this look by Malin and together it's a whole lot of Nikki so let's get to it shall we so like I mentioned Fendi beauty is coming out with a snap shadow eyeshadow palettes and the palette is gonna be focusing on mainly today are number five and number one this is what number one looks like and every snap shadow palette has six very pigmented very blendable beautiful eyeshadows this is number five and together this is going to be today's color story if you plan on traveling with these are taking them with you on the go all you have to do is snap them together and you have your own created palette in one the first color I'm dipping into is from the number one snap shadow palette and I'm taking this color right here so there's going to be a whole lot of cut creasing going on later on so what you want to keep in mind when placing these shadows is that you want to go higher up than you usually would I have hooded eyes now if you have eyes listen up the number one problem people with hooded eyes tend to do is follow their natural crease if I were to follow my natural crease which is right there the brown would be right here and then as soon as I would cut my crease everything would be gone so I'm taking this Brown very high up so that in the end when I drop my brush in the end as soon as I start cutting everything it still shows I think the number one magic trick you have to keep in mind when having hooded eyes is go up all right now using a more precise brush I am determining where the sort of height of the wing needs to go so the way I go about this is I place the brush on my lower lash line and then from there full lick it up and then of course you want the two to meet and come together in that point now this is the foundation of the shape that we're going for now of course you can go up higher do exactly what fits your eye shape but this is sort of the the first step now what you want to do is blend everything in that crease you want to keep this more clean and straight and fresh but everything here can be blown out so what I'm doing is I'm taking that same brush and kind of tilting it like this slanted against the skin and we're just gonna scratch it on and we're just going to diffuse all right now I am hopping over to number thighs the palette number five and that is what that looks like and I'm taking these two colors right here and I'm mixing them up and that is gonna be my transition color above all of this and again I'm approaching my eye this way so I'm taking the brush up and I'm angling it against my skin like this placing it flat against my eye and I just scratch from left to right and what that is going to do is it's gonna make the brush do the blending of for me it's gonna create the precision right here but the hazy and fogginess at the top now quickly going to steal one shade from the number-7 palette and I'm taking this shimmery light gold and that is gonna highlight my brow bone now I'm taking some of my fancy Beauty concealer I'm gonna cut the crease now again remember go higher up than you think you should and with that brush you basically just want to stamp that concealer on by stamping that concealer on you're creating the perfect sharp shape and I'm gonna set that into place using this shade from the number one palette oh I swear nothing is more satisfying than a perfectly cut crease well that in chocolate and other things okay time to transform this into a holiday slay and going in with the trophy wife hyper metallic liquid eyeliner and using this I'm just gonna frame the cut crease as well as the wing for the lower lashline I'm now going back in with the shade here and just smoking it out and leaving a little gap open for more trophy wise all right then quickly taking that brow bone highlight shade and also popping it on the inner corner here you see how that completely makes it holiday snatched ooh all right I'm gonna go off-camera Papa lash on I'll be right back to complete this holiday perfection first let's warm up the face using private island bronzer Oh guys I need to get something off my chest I just went to frozen to like a couple of days ago that movie so unexpectedly dark I mean I can't do this theater to laugh and have a good ol time and in the meantime this movie has me questioning my life I mean Olaf is worrying about growing old about getting older and I'm like like yeah I relate so much Olaf and when Olaf told us that turtles can breathe from their like what I'm now about to highlight using this kilowatt highlighter duo in a lightning dust and fire crisp crystal don't fall please now this right here is something that will shut uncle Hank up at Christmas dinner oh yes uncle Hank you want to talk to me about the future guess not to finish off the festivities on the face I'm going in with this MOT Mosel lipstick my fetch beauty this is the color nice and rusty and the name is freckle fiesta what I like about this color is that it is a brick orange red I'm loving everything about that I mean a classic red lip during the holidays is beautiful and classic but it's been done so many times that I feel like this puts it in a new jacket it makes it a bit more modern and edgy and that guys is a full face using Fenty
