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. Holiday-appropriate looks don’t have to be complicated. Ahead, find 15 Christmas makeup looks that are just as fabulous as they are festive.
Bold Blush
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.
Twinkling Tinsel
The more sparkly the eyeshadow, the better. Add some shimmer to your lids to emulate the twinkling tinsel we see hanging on decorated Christmas trees. Paired with a soft blush and lip look, the eyes intentionally remain the focus.
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.
Shimmering Shadow
With twinkly lights aglow, there’s no better time to wear a shimmering holographic shadow. Mixing lighter and darker tones is ideal when wearing this texture of shadow, as it helps add extra contrast and dimension. Swipe on a glossy lip for the perfect finishing touch.
Smoky Glam
We love deep, dramatic hues on the eyes, but they are even better when worn on the lips. If you’re after drama, this look will be right up your alley. Smoky black shadow graces the lids and crease, while a deep berry lipstick perfectly defines the pout. This is a classic way to wear deeper hues to create a classic yet polished finish.
Metallic Eyes
‘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.
Icy Lips
If you prefer to keep your makeup minimal but still want to get into the holiday spirit, give frosted lips a try. Start by applying your everyday makeup. Then, finish with a lip color that has a frosted finish to give off some impressive holiday cheer while still looking chic.
Berry Festive
If you want to wear bold makeup colors this Christmas, but red isn’t your top pick, opt for a raspberry shade instead. The hue works great as a pop of color or a monochromatic look. As seen above, applying a mauve shadow on the lids, cheeks, and lips creates a festive look that brings a fresh perspective on a classic hue.
Gilded Gold
A gilded gold makeup look, as seen here on Dove Cameron, is the perfect celebratory hue to wear during Christmas or into the new year. Start by applying a metallic shadow on the lids, whether powder or cream. Blend a darker shadow in the crease with a fluffy brush to create depth and dimension.
