Christmas Makeup Ideas to Elevate the Festive Glam

The holidays are just around the corner, which means it’s time to gear up for the celebrations. Whether you have several Christmas parties on your calendar or just want to shake things up for a family dinner, there’s no shortage of Christmas makeup looks to help you elevate your look and embrace the party season in all its glory.

If all you want for Christmas is a higher state of shine and glamour, then we’ve got you covered. From makeup products to looks, we have everything you need. Whether you want subtle makeup or want to go all out with colours and glitter, here are some Christmas makeup ideas to help you find the one that will complement your style, mood and outfit.

1. All Things Natural

If you’re a fan of the no-makeup makeup look, this Christmas makeup idea is for you. Begin by applying our Fresh Nude Foundation for a natural, nude glow finish with a fresh-faced, moisturised feeling. If you want to skip the foundation, you can also use our Second Skin Tint for a light natural-looking coverage. Effortlessly blend your foundation with a blender or makeup brush.

Once your base is set, add the slightest hint of blush to your cheeks and nose. Keep your eye makeup minimalistic by sweeping a nude shade across your lids. You can choose from our Sheer Touch Lip & Cheek Tint to add a natural rosy hue to your eyes, cheeks & lips. Finally, use a kajal and mascara to define your eyes. Finish your Christmas makeup look by colouring your pout with nude or light pink lipstick.

2. All Things Christmassy

Start with your base makeup–we’re talking primer, foundation and concealer. Once done, use a blush to add a flush of colour to your cheeks. Use our Sheer Touch Lip & Cheek Tint to create a cohesive look. Then, start your eye makeup by sweeping a vibrant green eyeshadow across your lids using the Freestyle Multi-tasking Crayons. Follow this step by using an eyeliner to define your eyes. We recommend our Wake-up Call Liquid Eyeliner for the perfect finish.

To complete this Christmas makeup look, apply a classic red lipstick. The bold red lip will elevate your look for any holiday outing. Swipe a few coats of your favourite formula or try our PepTalk Lipsticks across your lips and clean up any edges. Set your makeup by spritzing a setting spray all over your face to ensure your makeup lasts throughout the night.

3. All Things Shimmery

Christmas calls for extra glam, shimmer and glitter. To achieve a shiny Christmas makeup look, start with your eyes first so, you can clean any glittery fallout without having to redo your base makeup. Start by sculpting your eyebrows using our Frame It Brow Pomade for fluffy, dreamy brows. Next, apply a shimmery, glittery eyeshadow all over your eyelids. Finish off by creating the perfect winged eyeliner.

For the face makeup, apply a dewy foundation and top it off with a blush. Don’t shy away from using a highlighter on the high points of your face–cheekbones, bridge of your nose and cupid’s bow. Make sure your makeup brush set has all the brushes for the job. Finally, use a shiny lip gloss to complete your makeup look. Pair the makeup with your favourite sequined dress and shine brighter than the Christmas tree star.
