The holidays are in full swing, which means it’s time to celebrate. Whether you have several Christmas parties on your list or just want to shake things up for the joyous season, there’s no shortage of makeup inspiration this time of year. Swap out your typical lipstick color for a cheerful red, amp up the glitter on your eyes, or add an extra pop of blush on your cheeks.
Bold Blush
LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush for Cheeks – Raspberry Finish – Buildable Color
Cold weather naturally brings out a flushed complexion. If you want to emulate that look all season long, blush is key. Apply your favorite shade of pink blush to the apples of your cheeks in an upward motion. Then, pair your chosen hue with a bold lipstick, like this raspberry tone that’s gorgeous on Dove Cameron.
Classic Christmas
A classic makeup duo that never fails during the Christmas season (or any season, for that matter) is a bold red lip paired with winged eyeliner. This timeless glam will elevate your look for any holiday outings.

Fluffy Lashes
Wearing faux lashes is a great way to dress up for special occasions like Christmas. Finding lashes that flare out in the outer corners can add instant drama and depth to your eyes. Elongate your liner to extend out as a wing for the perfect complement.

‘Tis the season for metallic eyeshadow. Mix and match colors to create a visually interesting look that certainly won’t be forgotten. Start by swiping a creamy, waterproof eyeliner along your top and bottom lash line. Then, build dimension by applying the shadow around the eye and smoothing it out underneath. Remember to clean up any excess fallout with makeup remover and a Q-Tip.
