“I kept her look fresh, luminous, and festive without overdoing it,” Santos shared, opting for glowing skin, soft glamour, and timeless beauty. No heavy pigments, no dramatic details—just an understated radiance that allowed Kim herself to shine against the velvet carpet.

or the Chinita Princess’ holiday glow, the makeup artist prepped with a hydrating primer, dewy foundation, and brightening concealer—instantly giving her a lit-from-within finish that rivaled the Christmas lights. She swept soft shimmers across the lids, lined the eyes with brown liner, and finished with lengthening mascara. Light brow definition framed her features, while warm blush, gentle contour, and a golden highlighter brought dimension and glow. A lined lip topped with gloss sealed the look with effortless shine.

To achieve this seamless finish, Santos gave two key rules: “Focus on glowing skin prep and soft blending to keep everything seamless.”

“Working with Kim is always a breeze—she’s warm, professional, and trusts the process. It feels like a fun collaboration every time,” Santos added, sharing how her muse’s enthusiasm and trust made the glam session effortless. “She was so excited when she saw the glow on her skin—it instantly set the vibe. The only challenge was keeping everything perfect amid the busy event, but we made it fun and smooth.”
