Hej, predivna! Spremna za malo ljepote i inspiracije?
Hey gorgeous! Ready for a little beauty and inspiration?
This time of year means shopping, end-of-year checklists, cozy sweaters, and, of course, holiday parties. Be it an office celebration, cookie swap with friends, or a family gathering, it can feel like every weekend is another opportunity to dress up with a festive flair.
While outfits are typically center stage, don’t underestimate the power of intentional makeup to complete your yuletide glam. From classic red to tradition-inspired, we’ve put together four festive looks that will bring a little extra sparkle to your holiday plans.
The Holly and the Ivy
Take inspiration from the most famous holiday colors – red and green – and elevate it with the classic glamour of an all-black outfit. Simple, sleek, sophisticated – especially when contrasted by a holly-hued lip. Find your perfect shade (try Stalno Crimson or Krovište Red) and pair it with dark mascara, a strong brow, and slicked back hair for a minimalistic twist on holiday elegance.
Bonus Tip: Layer a matching gloss over your lipstick shade for extra intensity and shine, or a different shade for extra dimension.
Merry and Bright
Take inspiration from the frost and sparkle of a winter wonderland and go icy-chic with Čisto Gloss. Complete the look with cool-toned sparkle on the lids and plenty of your favorite highlighter for that ice queen look.
Bonus Tip: Use Plaža Nude first as a stain on the lips to get an extra pop of color under your crystal clear gloss.
The Sugarplum Princess
Jump on the “sugarplum fairy” makeup trend that’s dominated social media the past few winters. To tap into the nostalgia of “The Nutcracker” while adding a layer of 2025 cool, use our Lijepo Plum on both your lips and cheeks for a magical flush.
Bonus Tip: Gold accents in your eyeshadow and highlighter are the perfect touch to make this look worthy of the Kingdom of Sweets.
Winter’s Wine
Amongst the rich colors and bright glitter of the holiday season, darker colors can be a refreshing change. A moody, dramatic lip like Ljubav Wine brings the glitz and the glam while adding an air of mysterious sophistication.
Bonus Tip: Balance the intensity of your dark lip with light, barely-there eyes (think skin tone shimmers and mascara only) and sparkling statement earrings.
But remember, the best accessory – more so than an outfit or earrings or even lipstick – is confidence and self-care. Make sure to take some time during this busy season to take a breather and look after yourself. Vibrant lips and sparkly eyes are just the cherry on top (or perhaps the partridge in the pear tree)!
If you recreate any of these looks, tag us on social media at @Keca’s Usna – we’d love to see them! Have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy your celebrations!
Ljubav, sjaj i poljupci!
Love, shine, and kisses!
