1. Smokey Red Eye Makeup 
Smokey eyes are ever the crowd-pleaser and a popular go-to option for any party. But adding a red twist for the Christmas theme party is sure to give a unique touch. Here is a great example. Use a muted red or magenta eyeshadow on the  eyelids and under the  eyes. Make sure to get in a sleek line of kohl on the upper and lower waterline. Give a smokey touch with a subtle black eyeshadow, around the eyes. Finish it off with mascara on the eyelashes. With this eye-catching (no pun intended) look, let the eyes do all the talking, so pick a nude or muted tone for the lips and cheeks.

2. Bold Red Lips
A bold red lip can uplift any outfit. With muted tones of eyeshadow and blush, make the lips the highlight of the makeup. However, make sure it is done to perfection. First, use a concealer to do away with all the pigmentation or use loose powder for the base. Next use a lip liner - preferably a red hue, neatly outline the lips. And, fill it up with a red matte lip finsh. A touch of glam gloss for that extra shine can be added. 

3. Cheeky Red Highlights
Add a bit of drama to the look with a primer, foundation, concealer, and loose powder to prep the skin. Then, use a thin brush to draw tiny heart patterns (or any other shape that suits your fancy) on the cheeks and nose. Keep them subtle. To use the chosen colour of 2023 can be used in this case or choose any hue from a blush, or eyeshadow palette that works for the skin tone. Push the makeup artist skills to the next level with subtle white patterns or just some dots to add a touch of snowy magic to the overall appearance. Use a makeup fixing spray to seal the look.
