Ultra-Embellished Beauty Looks By Dior’s Peter Philips For The Perfect Festive Party Glam

You shall go to the ball – in bold, cinematic, make-up looks with surrealist spin, all conceived by Peter Philips, the creative and image director for Dior Make-up

Starry Nights: use matte make-up to complement celestial shine: here, Peter has blended a mix of Rouge Dior Contour in 218 Rose Rose and Rouge Dior in 629 Parade Velvet on the lips under a veil of diamanté jewels to conjure up the perfect aura.
Bold Vision: experiment with sequins or gems around the eyes and luminous skin, as shown here with Peter’s application of Dior Forever Glow Veil, Skin Glow and Skin Correct as the base, followed by Dior Forever Glow Maximizer on the cheekbones and cupid’s bow for extra charm.
Night Shade: the romantic fairy-tale flush (here created using Dior Backstage Rosy Glow in Fiery Red) gets a sultry twist with Diorshow Overvolume Mascara in Black and Diorshow Liquid Liner in 096 Satin Black on the lids.
Super Cut: sliced liner, sharp lipstick and a defined blush toughen up an otherwise feminine colour palette. Peter used Dior Backstage Rosy Glow in 830 Fiery Red, Diorshow Brow Styler in 02 Chestnut, Diorshow Liquid Liner in 096 Satin Black and Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo in 881 Carousel on the lips.
Dark Matters: keep colours deep, but mix make-up media with Rouge Dior Contour in 720 Icone and Rouge Dior On Stage in 425 Wild Rosewood on the lips, finishing with Dior Vernis in 690 Plum Parade on the nails for a noirish effect.

Lead Image Credit: ROARING RED Here, Peter turns up the heat on the red lip – a perennial party classic – by using both Rouge Dior Contour in 999 and Rouge Dior in 999 Velvet, outlining the edges with Dior Forever Glow Luminizer in 04 Pink Strobe for added drama.
