Holiday Trends: Chrome

Yasss, the holidays are finally here and I am truly overjoyed; makeup time is really all about serving these vampy, witchy looks. There's definitely an energy flow that kicks in once the temperature drops and that's when I know it's time for some new makeup switch-ups. Trending now: METALLICS.
​
Metals seem to be daring for the average woman, but I'm here to help ease you into some chromed out colors that'll really make you stand out during the holidays. These products are in stores and easy to get your hands on. I just recently picked these products up and am absolutely obsessed with them because they're easy to add into your every day makeup and helps give off the illusion that you went the extra step (trust me, I don't do much with my own makeup so these products blew me away and worked in easily with my routine!)

1. Milk Makup Eye Pigment ($24)
These cream eyeshadows come in an amazing color selection of bold and neutral and definitely a game changer for the makeup world. They set quickly so they're great for cute accents here and there (festival makeup savvy for sure). Graphic liner is something I enjoy experimenting with and this product has a gel-like consistency to achieve those looks. It's truly simple and bold at the same time. 
Side note: Milk Makeup is cruelty-free, eco-conscious, and paraben-free. Milk Makeup is designed for on-the-go lifestyles (aka me) and their packaging is easy for travel (IMO). They also have a green tea matcha toner that I'm still trying out but so far, loving it.

2. Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow ($24)
This product is probably the best one yet for glitter on the go. The packaging is extremely cute and fits in my makeup bag. The wand makes it easy to apply pretty much anywhere on your face. The consistency is a water-infused texture which makes it easy for cleaning up if you mess up or have fall out (glitter is so hard to clean so I was very impressed). This product is also great alone or on top of an eyeshadow. It's long-wearing... I mean, Stila never lets me down. My favorite shade, "Diamond Dust" almost has a pop of a 3-D glitter effect. It's beautiful! 

3. CoverFX Custom Enhancer Drops ($42)
I've actually been using these enhancer drops for quite some time on myself and my clients. My clients all love to glow and shine bright. I love mixing these enhancer drops in foundation or use them instead of a powder/creme highlight. It keeps the skin dewy and refreshed. Adding a bit underneath the brow bone really elevates a natural look will still playing safe. I also love mixing these drops into a spray bottle with rose water to make a shimmery body mist. There's so many ways to play with this product and definitely something that's year-round.

You can find all of these products at Sephora stores. 

Check out this editorial I did with one of my favorite, most gorgeous stylists I know,  Vanessa. I've used all three products listed above and product breakdown is listed below. Tag me in your makeup looks on IG/Twitter with your twist on these products: @inthecurls. xo.
