NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Tis the season for parties, outings and celebrations with family and friends. Amp up your beauty looks this holiday season with tips from L'Oréal Paris Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sir John. From a natural glow to a polished lip and sparkly eye, Sir John has the top beauty tricks no matter the occasion.

LUMINOUS GLOW

STEP 1: Don't let the holiday lights be the only thing that glow this season. Glowy skin is always-in and never more so than during the holidays. One of Sir John's go-to primers right now is the True Match Lumi Glotion. It not only hydrates the skin before foundation application, but it also gives the skin a subtle glow.

STEP 2: Next, choose a foundation with luminous properties as it provides a nice added glow. Sir John's pick is Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation. This foundation is very hydrating to help combat the cold weather, especially in the colder months.

STEP 3: To dial up the glow, simply apply True Match Lumi Shimmerista Powder on the cheek bones and collarbone for a more dramatic glow. This is a great product for layering, depending on the amount of glow wanted.

STEP 4: To top off the look, Sir John recommends the two-step Voluminous X Fiber Mascara primer and mascara for dramatic lashes and Colour Riche Shine Lipstick in Glossy Fawn for a classic nude lip.

STEP 5: To complement the makeup glow, color your hair with an inaugural shade from L'Oréal Paris 2018 Hair Colors of the Year Superior Preference Rose Blonde Collection. The collection, which was developed with warm, rose gold tones for an on-trend luminous, rosy look by the brand's color designers, comes in Medium Rose Blonde and Dark Rose Blonde.

FESTIVE LIP

STEP 1: Perfect the skin using Infallible Pro-Glow Concealer and Infallible Pro-Glow Powder for a natural, dimensional look.

STEP 2: Go bold with a shiny red lip, using Colour Riche Shine Lipstick in Enamel Red for a commandingly pretty look.

STEP 3: A classic red lip paired with a cat eye is always in style. To create the perfect cat eye, Sir John recommends starting on the inner corner of the eye, and working across using Voluminous Liner Noir.

STEP 4: Then, before the liner dries, smudge the line outwards with the fingers to make the perfect winged look.

GLITTERY SHADOW

STEP 1: Sparkles are the best way to feel instantly festive. "It's important to anchor the eyes to ensure they don't look puffy with the metallic eyeshadow," says Sir John. To start, apply Infallible Paints Metallic Eyeshadows.

STEP 2: Next, apply a waterproof eyeliner and a bold mascara, such as Voluminous X Fiber Mascara. Apply the black primer first to build volume and create a smooth base to prep the intense black mascara, which deposits lengthening fibers along the length of lashes.

STEP 3: For added sparkle, apply highlighter to the cheek bone. This will round out the look and make you shine this holiday season.
