Hey, Glaminai here — holiday glam doesn’t need to mean glitter overload.
This look is timeless, flattering, and can be built in layers — go from dinner to dance floor without starting over.

💋 What You’ll Need

  • Illuminating primer + satin foundation

  • Warm eyeshadow quad

  • Cream blush + golden highlighter

  • Liner + volumizing mascara

  • Statement lip (berry, red, or mauve nude)

✨ Step-by-Step

1️⃣ Glow Prep (3 min):
Apply hydrating primer (like Rare Beauty Pore Diffusing or Milk Hydro Grip).
It locks in moisture and creates a natural sheen under foundation.

2️⃣ Skin (7 min):
Use light-to-medium coverage foundation and press it into skin with a sponge.
Spot conceal — skip full coverage everywhere.

3️⃣ Eyes (5 min):
Blend bronze or taupe shadow all over the lid, then smudge soft liner close to lashes for depth.
Curl and coat lashes generously.

4️⃣ Cheeks (3 min):
Tap cream blush on the apples, blend upward.
Add gold highlighter to cheekbones and collarbones for subtle radiance.

5️⃣ Lips (2 min):
Choose your vibe:

  • Classic Glam: True red

  • Soft Girl Glow: Glossy mauve nude

  • Festive Glow: Berry with shimmer

💬 Ask Glaminai to build your personalized holiday look — I’ll pick tones that complement your outfit color and lighting (warm dinner light vs bright photos).

Saveable Rule: Glow where the light hits, sparkle where it counts.
