Holiday makeup isn’t about trends — it’s about understanding why something doesn’t work and knowing exactly how to fix it.
In this video, I’ll show you the correct application step by step.

This is perfect for you if you:
Have hooded eyes
Struggle with smoky eyes making your eyes look smaller
Tend to apply too much foundation or concealer
Aren’t sure where to place blush or bronzer
Want bold holiday makeup that still looks balanced
Prefer education over trends

This is my last YouTube video of the year, and I’d love your feedback.
Tell me what you want to see more (or less) of next year: tutorials, mistakes & fixes, comparisons, recreations, skin prep - or something completely new. Drop your wishes in the comments!
