Christmas is right around the corner, and even though I’ve been really busy trying to get my shopping done and finish up some things for the blog for Christmas, I couldn’t not post a holiday look. Every year I pretty much do a similar look for Christmas, and this year it fit so perfectly with the gorgeous Chanel Éclats du Soir Collection for Holiday 2012. Cranberry and gold blended together with a striking black liquid eyeliner, soft blush and sheer pink lip- this is my signature holiday look and I must say I’m incredibly pleased with how it turned out with Chanel (check out my review of the collection too)!

I started by applying the gold eyeshadow from the Chanel Regard Signé Palette in Harmonie du Soir all over the lid, and blending the cranberry shade into the outer 1/3 of the eye and crease. I applied a bit of the brown eyeshadow into the crease to add depth, and highlighted the brow bone with the pale pink shade. I used a black liquid eyeliner to line my upper lashline, then applied mascara and false lashes.  I applied a soft neutral blush to my cheeks and topped it off with a bit of the sparkling powder on my cheekbones for an added glow. I finished off the look with a sheer pink gloss and deep, cranberry red nails.
