Easy & Wearable Glam Makeup Tutorial | Holiday Eye Look
We're bringing back the easy & stunning makeup technique called Foiling, for this easy glam holiday makeup look.
Featuring our gorgeous and versatile Pumpkin Pie Spice Collection.
In this holiday makeup tutorial, I'm going to use a new-again technique called foiling for more drama and impact. Bonus! It helps your eye makeup stay on really well.
Golden Glam. Copper. Port. Bliss.
Here's how you can easily bring the glam:
- Lay down a base Flesh Mineral Eyeshadow dipped in a drop of water (not too much, you just want a drop, easy to add more if you need it) to foil your lid. This gives you more depth of color and staying power. And PUNCH!
- Now, apply Port Mineral Eyeshadow loosely, no need for precision here, in your crease with the Crease Brush and then blend it out really well.
- Next, go in with Copper Mineral Eyeshadow, which is the top shade in the Pumpkin Pie Spice collection. And with the detailed Crease and Smudge Brush, work into your crease, and blend.
- Golden Glam Mineral Eyeshadow is up next. Foil this again with just a drop of water and pat onto your lids with the flat eye shading brush. Let it dry really well and then blend again.
- Finish up your look with either Bliss or Pashmina just under your brow. It really helps open up your eye. Bliss will add a rosy, cool tone beige to your look; Pashmina will add a warm, peachy beige.
- Now, let's use Rose Gold, aka Sunset Cheek Color on it's own, but we call it Sunset in the Collection, on your cheeks. Blend it out with the Perfect Blush Brush. If you happen to lay down too much pigment the first time around, just soften all the edges with a big fluffy powder brush.
- Lastly, dip Perfection Mineral Organic Lip Gloss into the Rose Gold and slick it on your lips.
Top to Bottom: Pashmina, Bliss, Flesh, Port, Copper, Golden Glam, Rose Gold (Sunset)
This is a collection you can wear all year long, but for sure bring it out for Holiday!
You can dress it up or dress it down.
Mix it with a variety of shades you already own.
It plays really well with others.
However, it's a Limited Edition Collection and only available during the holidays.
All three shades in the collection are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is foiling in makeup?
A: Foiling is a technique where you apply eyeshadow using a damp brush. It enhances pigment intensity, adds a subtle metallic finish, and improves staying power.
Q: How much water should I use for foiling?
A: Use only a drop of water on your brush, just enough to slightly dampen it. Too much water can dilute the pigment or cause streaking.
Q: Which eyeshadows work best for foiling?
A: Shimmery or metallic mineral eyeshadows like Golden Glam and Copper work best for foiling because they create a luminous, smooth finish.
Q: Can I mix foiled and dry shadows in one look?
A: Yes. In fact, blending foiled shades with dry ones like Port or Bliss adds dimension and balance to your eye makeup.
Q: How do I finish the foiled look?
A: Complete the look with Rose Gold (Sunset) on your cheeks and lips for a coordinated, radiant holiday glow.
Q: Is the Pumpkin Pie Spice Collection available year-round?
A: No. It’s a limited-edition holiday collection, so it’s available only during the holiday season while supplies last.
