How To Recreate our November Cover Look with Dior Beauty

For our November cover, things have taken a festive turn. With Dior Beauty unveiling their magical holiday collection this month, see how make-up artist Shiyo Joo brings to life this limited-time collection through our cover spread. Inspired by the atmosphere, royal architecture and historical gardens of Paris, creative director of Dior Makeup, Peter Philips intertwines unmistakable classic golden hues and pure winter colours into this festive collection. Taking those elements from the collection, here’s how to recreate some of these make-up looks for your next holiday party.

Prep and Base

Shiyo keeps the base simple, starting with the Dior Forever Glow Veil to prime the skin. Creating a hydrating base layer is always key to ensure make-up looks healthy and maintains its glow throughout the day. For foundation, he opts for the Dior Forever Fluid Matte. This formula is great for long days that transition from day to night because its chockfull of caring skincare benefits too. Offering twenty-four hours of wear and promising limited transfer, you can trust it’ll stay in place whilst you party the night away. And he finishes his base with a touch of Dior Forever Skin Correct concealer to smooth over any imperfections.

Sparkling Red

It wouldn’t be the holiday season without some sparkle and we’re loving how Dior has integrated a bit of glitz without it being too dramatic or overwhelming. Elevating the iconic Dior Beauty Rouge Dior Forever formula, Peter Philips introduces a special Liquid Fini Sequin version. Applying on the lips like the original, this exciting formula unveils a glittering sequin-look finish when you press your lips together. Be sure to apply a comfortable coat on the lips to truly get the maximum effect. Available in four shades, our top pick is none other than the icon 999. If you’re wanting to quickly add a bit more fun to the party, you can definitely start here.

Night Walk

Wanting to create his own Christmas fairy tale, Peter Philips reimagines the wintery magic of Paris with this holiday collection. Keeping it classic with signature silvers, dazzling reds and gold, this collection oozes timelessness and wearability. With the Diorshow 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette in Night Walk taking centre stage, it’s the ultimate palette and all you’ll need to transition any eye look from day to night. For more pigment payoff, Shiyo recommends to go with your finger for application to get complete coverage of the lid, but he then follows up with a brush to soften the lines. With its neutral mix of lighter colours and a deeper black, this palette is all you’ll need to easily transition from day to night.
