The best way to spread holiday cheer this season is by wearing holiday makeup from our list! Whether it be a silver and gold eyeshadow tonal or a statement red lip, we’ve got you covered. 

So, forget about that ugly reindeer sweater with the sewin in lights and stop into your local Sephora or drugstore because we have a list of beauty looks that are sure to display just how festive you are all on their own.

A Silver Exaggerated Lid Liner

Perfect for the girl who loves a winged look, swap out your normal black liner for a sequined eyeliner instead. Use it on the lid line, or slightly above for the ultimate glitter-party-ready look.

Glitter Glam Lid

It may seem cliche, but widley underused! This look will be sure to make your eyes glow at any NYE party, or Christmas festivity. Try out a wet eyeshadow, or some loose glitter and apply with eyelash glue.

All-Over Holiday Highlighter

Who doesn’t want a nice glow? Share the love of your highlighter this holiday season with all your face – not just your cheekbones. Relatives at Christmas dinner will be sure to comment on your “glowing” attitude.

Silver and Gold Lid Color

Silver and gold? The ULTIMATE palette for the holiday season. Convey beauty, strength and prowess this holiday season with either (or both!) of these color combinations with any of your makeup norms.

Statement Red Lip or All Red Everything

Whether it be just the bold red lip, or trying out the red eyeshadow, add holiday red into your beauty routine for the perfect makeup look.  

Silver Bells Nails

What would holiday makeup be without talking about nails? To start us off, we are loving this silver toned nail look. Glitter is a common nail choice, especially around the holiday season, but mix it up with 3-D loose glitter, or sequins.

Red Tip French Nails

An upgrade from the standard french tip nails, request a red tipped manicure this season while your home visiting your favorite nail salon to stress your love for the holidays and be hands-in on all the festivities.

Jewel Tone Makeup

An emerald green or a hot sapphire jewel tone can spice up any holiday makeup look. Try out a bold wing, or a soft shadow for a colorful, non traditional holiday look.
