Christmas is fast approaching and we’re aiming to spread a little extra magic and sparkle this year, says Shobhana Cosmetologist & Makeup Artist — California.
It’s time to spoil yourself, especially after the year we’ve just been through, so bring on the glitter and glam and make sure you’re ready for anything — from late-night partying and mistletoe moments to coffee with friends and that all-important Christmas lunch with the family.
Here are my top tips for a truly beautiful holiday:
Step Into Christmas…
Plan ahead now if you really want to look your best over the holiday season. Kick off your party prep with regular facial exfoliation 1–3x weekly. ‘I particularly like Skin Care and Hair Care products — gentle yet effective,’ says Shobhana. Feel in need of some serious pre-Christmas pampering? Ask us to recommend the best professional facial and body treatments — shobhanabeautystudio.com/facial-services
I also recommend giving your skin a serious head start with a microdermabrasion treatment — this will smooth your skin, reduce lines, sun damage and signs of ageing and reveal a radiant glow. Not sure? Call +1 (925) 236-2680.
The big (Christmas) reveal…
We’re loving that little black dress and strappy sandals… perfect for Christmas partying. Don’t panic! We’ve hard-working body treatments, including Full Body Waxing, Full Body Skin Care / Massages so you can dare to bare your arms, back and shoulders. And don’t forget full body bleach — salon treatment options that guarantee you’re good to glow!
Shobhana adds ‘Feet tend to get ignored in winter — I always recommend a pedicure pre-Christmas – those high heels won’t look great if your heels are dry and cracked. Nail Polish is one of our most popular this year!’
The eyes have it
As an alternative to lash extensions why not try an eyelash lift. Your longer, fuller lashes — so you’ll still have that fab flutter as you party into the New Year.
Magical make-up tips
Here are Shobhana Makeup Artist’s tips for partying through the night:
- Primer first — Use a primer to blur wrinkles, minimize pores and even out skin tone – creates a perfect base, helping it last longer. MAC long-wear for luminous glow.
- Eyes locked — Remember to apply primer to the eyelid and eye socket area to stop eyeshadow fading / smudging / creasing. Waterproof mascara prevents panda-eyes.
- Set it — Finish with a setting spray – a quick spritz keeps make-up firmly in place all night long.
For a really special Christmas celebration, have your make-up done professionally by one of our make-up artists. Book now: +1 (925) 236-2680 OR book online
