EYES
Shenali
I use highlighter in the inner corners of my eyes to make it pop. Then I draw on my winged eyeliner and put on lots of mascara and I'm ready to rock and roll.

My go to eye makeup tip for this season is glitter mascara. It spruces up an outfit if you've got an occasion in the evening. I like to keep the rest of my makeup simple though. You don't want different parts of your face to be highlighted. Just your eyes.
Roshani
This season you can go with some sparkle and glitter - don’t be scared to use bold colours or even a little bit of glitter colours. I personally love the MAC pigments as they are so beautiful and really brightens up the eye makeup. Perfect for a night out this season! Just one tip when using this kind of pigments they always have fall out so make sure to do your eyes first, before you do your foundation. Use a makeup wipe to take off the excess that falls on your face.
Sarah
I think simple eye makeup with winged eyeliner and maybe a bronzey light eye shadow to go with it and mascara works well for any season.
Rukshi
I love simple makeup. So eyes - sometimes just mascara or sometimes just eyeliner on the top lid and some mascara.
LIPS
Judy
It's Christmas, and you know you can never go wrong with red lips. Lately I’ve become pretty obsessed with Ruby Woo by MAC and Cherry Lush by Tom Ford. They are must haves for beauty addicts. I find these colours suits a lot of skin tones. Always make sure the lip liner matches your lipstick. And don’t forget to moisturize your lips before applying any lip colour - dry, cracked lips won't hold colour for long!
Shenali
So my go to makeup is a bold red or deep pink lip. I've recently taken a liking to dark plum and berry colours too. To me, nothing screams 'Christmas' like a bold lip!
Rukshi
The lipstick colour depends on the outfits I wear. I like to change the colours, but most of the time I like wearing nude lipstick.
Sarah
On the lips either a nude lipstick or a pinkish one looks very sophisticated.
FACE
Shenali
I use a tiny bit of concealer under my eyes and around my nose and mouth to hide any darkness or redness and then set it with powder. I don't use foundation because it's too heavy for me. I then contour my cheeks, jawline and forehead using bronzer and then highlight my cheeks with a highlighter.
Roshani
Highlighting is the way to go this season - but be careful not to go overboard. It’s easy to take it little too far. When using highlighting powders be careful when using highly pigmented shimmer highlighters, with our weather it tends to go all over and you end up looking like a hot mess. So when choosing a highlighter get one which is medium to low shimmer.
Sarah
Well I like to keep it simple - a good foundation is my must. And a bit of blush on the cheekbones.
