5 Holiday Makeup Looks to Recreate This Season

1. Graphic Eye Makeup

Channel your inner artist with holiday-themed eyeshadow and graphic eyeliner inspired by classic seasonal foods and decor pieces. Our long-lasting eye shadow palettes are smudge-proof and highly pigmented, making them perfect for creating graphic eye makeup looks that will last for hours. Here are a few graphic eyeshadow ideas to spruce up your holiday makeup.

• Candy Canes

  

  Candy canes are a classic holiday treat and easy to recreate in your graphic eyeliner looks. Apply a base of white eyeshadow to your eyelids and simply draw on red or pink stripes for a beginner-friendly graphic eye look. Clean up with a Q-tip and some micellar water.

  To make your holiday makeup look appear more intricate, you can draw out individual candy canes using a fine tipped brush and then fill in the stripes.

• Christmas Presents

  It’s super simple to draw this classic holiday motif. Just draw tiny squares onto your eyelids with a sharpened black pencil or eyeliner pen. Once this has dried, go ahead and fill in the tiny presents with any glitter or matte holiday-inspired eyeshadow colors.

  You can finish this colorful eye makeup here or add some fun details such as dainty painted bows or cute designs on the wrapping paper of the presents.

• Christmas Lights

  This is yet another fun graphic eye makeup look inspired by the holidays that’s easy to recreate for beginners and professionals alike. First, draw a wiggly line across each eyelid, imitating a string of lights. At regular intervals, draw in small circles for the lights.

  Then all you need to do is fill in the ‘bulbs’ with some pigmented eyeshadow shades, and you’re good to go. This look is especially handy if you don’t have any specific eyeshadow pigments to create a specific holiday symbol for your makeup look.

There are plenty more holiday motifs to choose from, including snowflakes, trees, and Santa hats. Depending on your artistic skills, these ideas for your holiday makeup can either be simplified or made more intricate with finer details. It’s best to pair your graphic eye makeup with an eyeshadow base for long-lasting wear.

2. Retro Red

Red lips are a timeless makeup idea for the holidays. The classic and versatile nature of a red lipstick look makes it ideal for your everyday makeup routine, with a bit of festive fun. This is a sophisticated makeup look for the holidays that you can even wear to work or out at lunch, dressing it up or down as you please.

If you wear spectacles to work, you can even highlight your eyes with some golden eyeshadow or stark black winged eyeliner. Adding a rosy blush and some dazzling highlighter is optional. Whenever you need to, you can take this look from day to evening by dabbing a shimmery shade across the center of your eyelids and in the innermost corners of your eyes.

3. Golden Goddess

Embrace the holiday cheer with a makeup look that channels your inner Golden Goddess. This look is all about soft, radiant-looking skin with a natural base. So, it’s crucial to buy foundation that blends easily into your skin and offers natural coverage.

You can accentuate your look with a golden-toned highlighter placed at the high points of your cheeks. Next, add some golden or bronze eyeshadow to complete your holiday makeup and enhance the glowy appeal of this look. Consider adding small gems using eyelash glue on the outer corners of your eyes and finish off with a dark matte lip for your next Christmas party.

4. Colorful Holiday Glam

Put your own spin on holiday glam by dipping into the sparkling shades of our magical pressed glitter palette. Take your pick from a variety of striking eyeshadow pigments to create a unique combination that pops on your eyelids. This palette is perfect for creating vibrant eye makeup looks for holiday parties with friends.

Your colorful holiday glam doesn’t need to tick any specific boxes to look great. For example, you can choose from bold forest greens to more dainty olive shades, depending on your skin’s undertone and what colors flatter your features.

5. Frosted Snow Queen

This is a wintery makeup look that pays homage to the holidays with shimmery accents and icy features. Choose an icy blue eyeshadow and a white pencil on your lower lashes to channel the snowy aesthetic of this look. You can use a nourishing lip oil or some sparkling lip gloss for lips that look kissed by Jack Frost.

These makeup ideas for the holidays can bring cheer to your everyday routine and help you add a spark of festive glimmer to every gathering you attend this season. So whip out your eyeshadow palette and begin recreating these holiday looks at home.
