Christmas brunches are honestly one of the best parts of the festive season. Your friends and family are around, there are mimosas and rum cake involved, pictures will be taken and you’ll probably end up sitting around chatting way longer than planned. So yes, your makeup NEEDS to look good, but in a chic way that looks like you drink 4L of water and have zero problems, even if none of that is true.
So text your girl gang, put on that Christmas playlist and pick your outfit, because we’ve got your brunch makeup covered.
Second-Skin Base
Your base sets the entire look and for brunch, heavy foundation simply feels wrong. So pick up the Dream Beauty Celestial Glow Foundation, take it between your fingers and dab it all over your face. The sheer to buildable coverage lets your skin be skin instead of hiding it, and wears beautifully through long talks, that post-brunch walk you definitely didn’t plan for and those inevitable “let’s go stand near the tree for pictures” moments.
Blush is Non-Negotiable
Blush is where the Christmas magic really begins. This is where you bring life back into the face, especially during winters when skin can look a little meh. With your Nebula Cream Blush gently dab onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards. Go with the shade Lagoon Pink for that delicate, daytime-perfect vibe, or Carina Crimson if you want that just-stepped-in-from-the-cold effect.
Dream Beauty tip: A tiny dab of blush on top of the nose can make the whole look feel extra cute, very Christmas movie-like.
Highlighter But Make It Subtle
Less really is more at brunch, and this is where a lot of people go wrong. If you can see chunky glitter particles sitting on your skin, you’ve gone too far for brunch. So take your Dream Beauty FirstLight Highlighter in the shade Lunar Glow and dab on top of the cheekbones and maybe a light touch on the nose. When paired with the Lagoon Pink blush at daytime, it looks like light naturally hitting your skin. Subtle and soft, this is very Alia Bhatt Christmas party glam energy.
Defined Eyes That Still Feel Soft
This is not the time for dramatic smokey eyes or anything that takes twenty minutes and five cotton pads to fix. A wing liner and a mascara are your best bet here. Using the Lunation Eyeliner, line your lash line gently and flick out a soft wing. Finish with Dark Matter Mascara – one coat is all you need to lift, lengthen and darken your lashes for a naturally awakened look. This look defines the face beautifully while still keeping things brunch-friendly.
Lip Gloss for That Juicy Finish
Between sipping cocktails and sneaking bites of cake, you need a lip product that feels comfortable and looks the best. Trust lip gloss to save the day. Grab your Solace Lip Gloss in shade Rhea for that golden red, very Christmas-like lip. A glossy lip that adds plumpness and fades gracefully as you eat and drink? Sign us up. Plus, reapplying gloss at the table just feels very main character.
Dream Beauty tip: Top your favorite lipstick with a clear gloss shade like Luna for your own custom glossy lip shade!
Soft skin, flushed cheeks, defined eyes and glossy lips come together to create the ultimate Christmas brunch look that feels effortless and makes the jingle bells ring a little louder. Perfect for long brunches and selfies under the lights, this Dream Beauty look is your go-to for Christmas done right. So try it out for your next brunch and let the compliments roll in.
