9 Ways To Wear Red & Green Makeup

Spice up your holiday beauty routine by wearing red and green makeup this Christmas. Not only are these shades super festive, but they also look amazing on every skin tone. It's an easy to way to add a bit of holiday cheer to your beauty look. These looks don't have to be over-the-top either (unless you want them too be). Whether you're spending Christmas on the couch, or hanging out with friends and family, there are plenty of ways to incorporate red and green tones into your makeup routine. It's all about making it fit your Christmas morning routine.

Start off your makeup look by paying a bit of extra attention to your base. Having a flawless base is the easiest way to allow bold colors like red and green to stand out without looking tacky or unflattering. Another tip for holiday makeup is to avoid too many products with sunscreens or zinc if you're planning on having your photo taken, according to celebrity makeup artist, Wayne Goss. While SPF is normally a great additive, it tends to cause a white cast in photos if the SPF is strong enough. With that said, have fun with the rest of your makeup. It's the perfect way to amp up your own holiday cheer.
