Heute habe ich noch etwas ganz besonderes für euch zu Weihnachten. Meine Bekannte Nicole Bryl, die Star-Visagistin in New York City ist, hat ein paar Tipps für euch, wie euer Weihnachts-Make-Up aussehen könnte. Nicole schminkt Stars wie Brooke Shields und hat mir vor einiger Zeit auch schon ein Interview gegeben (hier der erste Teil und der zweite Teil mit tollen Beauty-Tipps direkt aus NYC). Nicole hat sich bei ihren Tipps auch ein wenig an Deutsch versucht, was ich sehr charmant finde. Nach dem Klick habe ich euch auch noch auf Deutsch die wichtigsten Tipps von Nicole zusammengefasst, aber hier erst einmal Nicole Bryls Inspirationen für euer Weihnachts-Make-Up direkt aus New York.

Here is my special Christmas present for my readers. I asked my friend Nicole Bryl, celebrity makeup artist from New York, to show you the perfect makeup for the Holidays. If you would like to know more of Nicole’s beauty secrets, you should take a look at my interview with her (part 1 and part 2).
Hello Sue Loves NYC followers!
This holiday why not pump up your look with extra lashes, eyeliner and a glossy lip stain for a splash of Weihnachten color!
Don’t let the dark clouds and dreary weather get you down, let your glam makeup creation be your sunshine!
In NYC we tend to amp up both the eyes and mouth together during the winter holiday’s for a more urban sophisticated look.
I always make sure to use plenty individual lashes with a dark black line right at the lash line creating extra pop to the lashes and eyes.
It’s also very important during these cold months to drink extra water. This internal hydration brings needed moisture to your skin that you are not getting from the humidity of the summer air. We cannot let our faces dry out at this time or else we will look sickly.
Also, very important, make sure to prime your skin before applying your makeup with
your favorite face cream so your skin doesn’t crack once you put on your makeup.
When you are living in cold dry winter air your poor skin can suffer, so skipping this step ist verboten!

Here I created a moisturized bright red holiday mouth with lashes and liner on top. An example of how you don’t have to go that heavy with your makeup to look festive and pretty!

I love to really pump up Maria’s lashes. Here I have stacked the individual lashes one on top of another using black eyelash adhesive (which blends with the makeup better) and again I added a thin black eyeliner. I also added a light smokey shadow and lip stain for a touch of extra color. Notice, I did not add too much powder here to Maria’s well moisturized skin. This creates an illusion that it’s warm outside or perhaps that she’s just HOT anytime of year 
Image #3 – From one of my recent editorial photo shoots in NYC. If there is a little “Gaga” in you, winter holiday makeup can be as dramatic as you like!!! This is the time where it will stand out in a fun way because everything else is so dull outside and drama can be truly embraced! Just be playful and enjoy yourself! Hey, why not wear this look to your next Max Raabe concert with a black lace dress. Could be fun! Love Max Raabe!
Liebe Grüsse,
NB!
