Prep Your Skin
Having smooth, clear skin that looks radiant and healthy is the perfect starting point for your new look. So, it’s well worth investing some time in your skin before you do anything else. When your skin looks at its best, it provides a strong foundation and a smooth blank canvas, and ensures that your complexion looks great even when you’re not wearing makeup.

Change Up Your Color Palette
Many people find that they stick with the same makeup colors for years without even realizing it. It’s so easy to fall into the routine of using the same old colors for many years, and simply replacing them with new packs of the same products when they run out.
Wearing the same makeup colors day after day can leave you stuck in a style rut. But this is a rut that’s actually pretty easy to break out of, so long as you’re not afraid to experiment. Experimenting with makeup and shopping for new makeup products is one of the most fun parts of a makeover. This is your chance to let your creativity run free as you experiment with different types of makeup in a whole range of colors. A simple change of color palette and makeup application style can totally transform your look. Why not try start by recreating some of this season’s key makeup trends?

If you don’t feel ready for a bold new makeup look, you could change up your usual color palette in a more subtle way. Changing the color and shape of your nails is a great way to do this. If you don’t want to continually be re-applying nail polish throughout the festive season, opting for gel nails is a wise idea. This way, your nails should stay looking perfect for weeks, meaning that you can focus on enjoying the festive season without any pesky chipped nail polish spoiling your flawless appearance.
Curate Your Holiday Wardrobe
The holidays are a busy time. All of that Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, preparing food, and socializing keeps your schedule pretty full. So, when it comes to dressing, you want to be sure that you have the perfect outfit ready and waiting for every festive occasion you attend.
Curating your holiday closet is an excellent way to ensure you aren’t stuck dealing with that age-old problem of having nothing to wear. Nothing is worse than having a special occasion to attend and staring hopelessly into your closet, unsure what to wear and feeling totally uninspired.
Putting together some simple, yet stylish outfits will ensure that you overcome this issue and always have the perfect outfit ready and waiting for you to wear. This is the ideal opportunity to pep up your existing wardrobe and to introduce some new pieces.
Looking through your closet and identifying key pieces that you can build on to create holiday outfits that you will love wearing is an excellent starting point. Incorporating existing pieces from your wardrobe and refreshing them by pairing them with new accessories, or simply changing up how you wear them will help you completely change up your look.
When putting together your outfits, keep some key occasions in your mind. For example, casual festive meet-ups with friends to exchange gifts, and winter walks that require warm snuggly sweaters and more practical outfit choices. Creating some go-to party looks which you can mix and match for different occasions will ensure you always have something to wear for more formal Christmas occasions that will make you feel and look fabulous everytime you put them on.
Re-Think Your Hair
If you’re feeling daring, the holiday season is the ideal time to completely transform your hair. If you’ve had a style you have been toying with for a while, the festive season and all the special occasions that it brings could be the perfect opportunity for you to take the plunge and make that big change you have been considering.
If you’re feeling more cautious about making big changes to your hair before the holiday season, you could still use this as a time to showcase a different look, even if it’s only temporary. Having your colorist apply a temporary hair color can help you to experiment with a fresh look for your hair without fulling committing to a major change. Pair this with trying out some new styling techniques, and you’re guaranteed to create a head-turning look that commands attention, and attracts lots of compliments over the festive season.
As you can see, there are many ways to refresh your look for the holiday season. While the holidays are about more than just appearances, there’s no doubt that making some changes to your style can give you an extra boost of confidence and help you to feel great during the holiday season. With your holiday looks sorted, you can enjoy the season.
