My Go-To e.l.f. Products For Full Throttle Holiday Glam

My non-negotiable for a look that needs to last all night is starting with the Power Grip Primer. It has just the right amount of stick that holds onto any makeup I layer over it. While its tacky texture creates the perfect canvas, its hydrating properties make it essential for the dry winter months so there’s no cracking in areas like my T-zone.

For a lit-from-within radiance, I always reach for the Halo Glow Liquid Filter. It comes in 12 flexible shades that meld with your skin tone to enhance your overall complexion (I wear it in shade 4 Medium). Bonus, it’ll photograph beautifully for your family photo session.

To perfect my base, I use the 16HR Camo Concealer. This is truly bar-none, the best for full, matte coverage especially under my eyes where I like to brighten without having the worry about creasing through late-night celebrations.

I have tried so many contour formulas, but the Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand in Medium/Tan is in a league of its own for the most natural, sculpted look. Its cream-to-powder formula buffs out seamlessly, creating natural shadows that define your features without looking harsh under bright party lights.

For that perfect holiday flush, I like to cocktail the pigmented Camo Liquid Blush in shades Suave Mauve and Coral Crush. Suave Mauve provides a sophisticated warm base, while a touch of the poppy Coral Crush adds dimension. Just a dot of each goes a long way.

I top my cheekbones with a flash of the Halo Glow Highlight Beauty Wand in Champagne Campaign. It’s the cherry on top that delivers that glossy, expensive-looking highlight that catches the light beautifully. I like to dab it on and tap it out with my fingers.

The Perfect 10 Eyeshadow Palette in Nude Rose Gold has the prettiest, jewel tones with a mixture of mattes and shimmer for endless combinations with the most incredible color payoff. I use the rose gold shimmer all over my lids for an elegant evening glitz.

Instead of traditional eyeliner, I put the Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray to work with my shadows. Using a thin, angled eyeshadow brush, I first spritz a couple mists right onto the brush. Then I dip into the deep chocolate shimmer in my eyeshadow palette and line my upper and lower lids. It gives the perfect amount of definition, and the setting spray ensures it won’t budge.

The Lash XTNDR Mascara in Pitch Black is the unsung hero of this look. I’m obsessed with the thin brush that helps me work as close as humanly possible to the base of my lash and brush through the tip for volume and length without the clumps.

Sure, you can use one lip liner, but the holiday is all about being extra. I like to add dimension to my lips by starting with the Cream Glide Lip Liner in shade Mauve Aside, concentrating on the center of my lips, and then carve out the inner corners with the deeper Plum & Get It. The liners are creamy enough to not drag, but set down for seriously staying power.

For the juiciest pout, look no further than the Glow Reviver Lip Oil. I spread it on in the shade Honey Talks, a sophisticated brown that is only deepened by the lip liner base I created right before. The formula of these oils provide the perfect amount of shine and hydration without being sticky. Obsessed.

Finally for a little targeted oil control and to set the look, I dust the Halo Glow Setting Powder strategically in my T-zone. It is the perfect balance of a makeup setting powder without being overly matte that blends all my layers together for the most natural result.
