Festivals are all about celebrating traditions, spending time with loved ones, and showcasing your best makeup looks. But with a packed schedule of festivities, who has hours to spend on makeup?

With just 10 minutes and a few key face makeup products, you can create a chic, glamorous look that’s perfect for any celebration. Ready to learn how? Here is your 10-minute makeup tutorial for a glam festival makeup look. 

10-Minute Makeup Look Guide 

Step 1 – Prep Your Skin  

Preparing your skin is essential before starting your face makeup routine. Start with a clean, hydrated face to ensure your makeup lasts all day. Apply your skin care products for a healthy glow. Then, apply a face primer that goes well with your skin type to create a smooth canvas and help your makeup stay put. 

Product Recommendation: Try Forever52’s Glow & Prep Makeup Primer to blur imperfections and keep your makeup looking fresh all day. 

Step 2 – Flawless Base 

A flawless base is key to any festive makeup look. Apply a lightweight pro foundation that offers buildable coverage to even out your skin tone. Use a warm and damp makeup sponge to blend seamlessly into the skin for a natural finish. 

Product Recommendation: Use Forever52’s Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation for a dewy, long-lasting finish that makes your skin radiant. 

Step 3 – Conceal and Brighten 

Concealer is your best friend when it comes to brightening up under the eyes and covering any blemishes. Dab a small amount of concealer under your eyes, on the bridge of your nose, and any spots or discolorations. Blend it well with a makeup brush or your fingers. 

Product Recommendation: Forever52’s Complete Coverage Concealer offers great coverage and blends effortlessly, making it perfect for a festive makeup look. 

Step 4 – Set It Right 

To prevent your base makeup from creasing or fading, set it with a translucent powder. Focus on the areas where you applied concealer and any parts of your face that tend to get oily. This ensures your makeup stays in place, especially during long festive celebrations. 

Product Recommendation: Use Forever52’s Wet N Dry Compact Powder to set your makeup with a soft, matte finish. 

Step 5 – Festive Eye Makeup 

Your eyes are the focal point of any festive makeup look. Start by applying a neutral eyeshadow as a base all over your lids. Next, choose a shimmer eyeshadow palette with gold or bronze shade to add a touch of glamour. Apply this shimmer to the center of your eyelids and blend outwards. 

For added depth, use a darker shade like brown or plum on the outer corners of your eyes and blend it well into the crease. Finish with a glowing highlighter on the eyebrow bone and the inner corners of your eyes to make them pop. 

Product Recommendation: 

Forever52’s Infinite 34 Color Eyeshadow Palette offers a range of colors perfect for creating a festive eye makeup look. For shimmer, try Twinkle Stars Glitter in a gold shade. 

Step 6 – Define Your Eyes 

No festive makeup look is complete without well-defined eyes. Use black or brown gel or liquid eyeliner to line your upper lash line. Wing it out slightly for a more dramatic effect. Then, line your lower lash line with a softer eye pencil, or use the same eyeshadow you used on your lids for a softer look. Finish with a coat or two of volume mascara to open up your eyes and make them appear larger. 

Product Recommendation: Forever52’s Miracle Liquid Eyeliner offers precision for that perfect wing, and the XL Lash Volume Mascara adds the right amount of drama to your lashes. 

Step 7 – Fill in Those Brows 

Well-groomed brows work as the frame for your face and complete your eye makeup. Use either an eyebrow kit or brow gel to fill in any sparse areas and define your brows. Follow the natural eyebrow shape and use light, feathery strokes for a natural look. 

Product Recommendation: Try Forever52’s Eyebrow Pencil for precise application and long-lasting wear. 

Step 8 – Add a Flush of Color 

A hint of blush tint adds a fresh, youthful glow to your face, perfect for any festive occasion. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and apply it to the apples of your cheeks, blending it upwards towards your temples. 

Product Recommendation: Forever52’s 8 Color Spotlight Blusher Palette offers multiple shades to suit any skin tone and adds a natural flush of color. 

Step 9 – Highlight Your Features 

Highlighter is the key to that lit-from-within glow. Apply the choosen highlighter to the high points of your face—your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid’s bow. This will catch the light beautifully and enhance your festive makeup look.  

Product Recommendation: Use Forever52’s Glow on Highlighter for a subtle yet striking glow.  

Step 10 – Perfect Your Pout 

Finish your look with bold velvet lipstick shades that complement your festive outfit. Reds, berries, and deep pinks are always great choices for a festive makeup look. Apply your liquid lipstick directly for an intense color payoff, or use a lip brush for more precision.  

Product Recommendation: Forever52’s Velvet Matte Lipstick range offers a variety of bold lipstick shades perfect for any festive occasion. 

Step 11 – Final Touch: Set It All in Place 

To ensure your makeup look lasts through all the festivities, set your makeup with a fixer spray. This will lock everything in place and give your skin a fresh, dewy finish. 

Product Recommendation: Forever52’s Makeup Fixer Spray Long Lasting and Matte Finish will keep your makeup looking flawless all day long.
