Get ready to paint the town red – or rather, cranberry – this holiday season! This makeup look takes a playful twist on the trendy “Strawberry Girl” look that swept the summer, evolving it into a winter wonderland of sultry charm. The Cranberry Crush makeup look will be THE talk of the town during the festive season, offering a fresh, fun, and flirty take on holiday beauty. Think sparkling cranberries, frosty mornings, and cozy nights by the fireplace.
We’ve got just the right products to create this look that will give everyone a reason to celebrate:
1. Kick off the festivities with the cult-favorite Benetint, a rose-tinted cheek and lip stain that adds an effortless berry flush, like rosy cheeks from a brisk winter walk, without having to face the cold! Apply dots start from the apples of your cheeks, along the middle of your nose, to the other side of your cheek. A little goes a long way so start with one dot of the formula in each section, blend with your fingertips and apply more if you want an even more flushed effect. Smudge it onto your lips, and they’ll look as luscious as ripe cranberries!
2. To amplify your flush a step further, grab a vibrant blush with subtle shimmer, like Crystah. Sweep it along your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose to add a festive pop of cranberry glow. This pairs perfectly with Benefit’s Multitasking Cheek Brush, a must-have for on-the-go touch ups between holiday parties.
3. Next, add some drama to your holiday look with a volumizing mascara like Fan Fest Mascara! This mascara creates an instant eye-opening effect that is sure to turn heads. The custom-engineered brush plus the fanning formula work together to fan out lashes side-to-side, amplify volume AND multiply lashes.
4. No holiday look is complete without perfectly defined brows. 24-HR Brow Setter is your secret weapon to keep your brows looking on point all night long. Whether you’re sipping cocoa by the fire or dancing your way into the New Year, say hello to brows that sleigh!
5. To finish off your “Cranberry Crush” look, opt for a long-lasting setting spray like The POREfessional: Super Setter. No one wants their makeup to melt like Frosty the Snowman. This pore-blurring makeup setting spray not only locks on makeup for 16 hours, but it also perfects the look of your makeup and will leave your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and hydrated in no time.
