GRAZIA Miami Gazette 2025: Paint the Town Red Holiday Makeup. Photo by Zoe Kovacs and Flavien Prioreau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn\u2019t say in any other way \u2014 things I had no words for.\u201d \u2014 Georgia O\u2019Keeffe<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some statements have greater impact when whispered softly. And such is the case this season when it comes to the loudmouth of all holiday hues. Red makeup may be synonymous with big nights out and all manner of merrymaking, but why not put a creative spin on the paradigm and let the shade\u2019s strength speak through softness. Blur it, buff it, blend it beyond the border.<\/p>\n

A translucent wash of monochromatic ruby looks fresh and festive at once \u2014 and it\u2019s simpler to create than one might imagine. \u201cUp your radiance with a highlighter, then blend a red lipstick<\/a> shade across your cheeks, the bridge or your nose, your eyelids and lips \u2014 all with a very light touch,\u201d advises makeup artist Aurelia Liansberg. \u201cThe look is \u2018back from a brisk country walk\u2019. In other words: No need to take the holidays so seriously. A slick of sheer garnet lipgloss heightens the playfulness and \u201cmake lips look hydrated and plush,\u201d says the pro.<\/p>\n

For those desiring something a bit more saturated, the key to keeping red makeup abstract lies in experimenting with texture. Case in point: the powdery pout seen here. \u201cModernize a stamped-on red lip by diffusing the edges very slightly,\u201d says Liansberg. Then \u201ctap on some high-pigment powder one shade lighter or darker than your lipstick to add two-tone depth,\u201d she adds. No need to be super precise \u2014 true beauty and glamour lie in your own interpretation.<\/p>\n
