Go Behind the Scenes of our Winter Editorial with Celebrity Makeup Artist Debra Macki and Hair Stylist/Makeup Artist Krystal Bilheimer as they take us through each holiday look.
They're sharing ALL of their secrets with YOU! Tips, instructions and more. Find out how they created each creative hair and makeup look and which products they used for this holiday editorial shot by Photographer Joel Benjamin.
Lealyn's Makeup: Debra Macki
"I pressed red glitter on from the lashline to the brow using an eyeliner sealer underneath it to set. When using glitter, don't sweep it on with a brush like you would an eyeshadow or else it will get all over the face. I followed with a thin line of red glitter on the lower lashline and silver iridescent glitter below as a highlight. Black eyeliner on the inside rim of the eyes gave more definition and red glitter lashes were the finishing touch! I kept the skin clean with a soft shine and glittered up the lips for more holiday fun."

"I used spray for shine and lots of glitter. I also added clear ornaments and ribbon on the top for an ice princess look."

"When using a dramatic touch like the white feather lashes from Makeup Forever, keep the rest simple. I highlighted below the eyes with silver shadow and glitter and lined the eyes with black eye liner. A soft iridescent pink blush and sheer glitter gloss finished the look."
Layla's Makeup: Debra Macki
"I used a green shimmer shadow from the lashline to the crease and lined the lower lashline with the same color. A dark forest green shadow contoured the outer corners of the eyes. Black eye liner lined the inside rim of her eye for a more dramatic definition and the rhinestone lashes added holiday sparkle. I used a gold shimmer powder to highlight the cheekbones and around the eye. A gold glittery gloss over the lipstick finished the look."

"I used floral foam on the side of her head and used green hair extension to add color. I also added a decorative stem with silver glitter."
Ashley's Makeup: Debra Macki
"I wanted to see the natural glow of Ashley's skin so I only used a little concealer under her eyes with translucent powder. I highlighted her skin with a sheer gold powder. Minimal bronze eyeliner and black mascara made her eyes stand out. Gold glitter accents on the inner corner of her eyes and lips added the holiday glam."
Ashley's Hair: Krystal Bilheimer
"I used gold rhinestone on a string to create a headband, the hair was placed in rollers for body and then I teased only the bottom to create fullness and a whimsical feeling. Texture spray shine to finish."

"I flat ironed the hair and used Texture shine serum to make it shiny. I then secured a block of floral foam in which I sculpted to the models head. Using small sections, I wrapped the hair to the foam to create a present. Once secured, I made a bow and pinned each piece to the floral foam, making sure the square shape was maintained, some hair peices were used to fill in space.
For the make up I did a very clean smooth look with Glo Minerals Liquid Foundation, and set with Matte Perfecting Powder also By Glo Minerals. For the Lips I used the Make up Forever color Pallete silver and added Silver glitter over that, finishing with clear gloss. Glo Minerals Rose Bud blush for contour and Kryolon rhinestone lashes for added glamour."

"The hair was set in Babyliss rollers, and pinned on side of her head. Using multi colored hair extensions that I added for depth, I created a FULL effect "DO" with Christmas Ornaments, Texture Shine spray and Gold hair glitter was added for that extra SHINE and Sparkle.
For the Make up, I used Glo Minerals Sheer Bronze Dust to creat a pearl effect. I then used Makeup Forever White Cream, from the color Palette and added Kryolon Glamour Spark to finish off her highlight on the eye. For the extra WOW I used Kryolon black feather lashes, that I added gold glitter to.
The lips I kept light using Graftobian lip color and topped with Debra Macki clear gloss."
Lealyn's Hair & Makeup: Krystal Bilheimer
"The hair was really defined with Curl Defining Serum and then pinned to the side to secure an ornament in it for the Holiday Look.
For her Face I used the Silver Glo Minerals Sheer all over her face to create a luminous effect. I used pure pigment wet on her eyes and then added Kryolon glitter in Teal over that. I used The Make Up Forever Black Track on the eye rim only on the bottom for depth.
Her cheeks were kept clean looking and light with Glo Minerals Sheer Petal. Final touches for the mouth were Graftobian Ruby Red (in Palette) and finished with Makeup Forever Vinyl Lip Gloss.
I added the silver hair glitter to her body for extra shine."
