5 Effortless Holiday Makeup Ideas

‘Tis the season to rock an eye-catching makeup look!

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite holiday beauty ideas so you can spend a little less time planning your party look and a lot more time checking off items on your super-long to-do list.

Check out five festive and effortless makeup ideas below.

Bright Pink Lip. Ditch the traditional red and opt instead for a bold pink lip color paired with a fresh face so your pout gets all the attention. Try our shades Sheer Rose, Mauve, or Dollhouse Pink paired with our Fraise Lipliner—and don’t forget to start with a Lip Primer.

Super Highlight. The holidays are the perfect time to up your glow factor with a heavy dose of highlight. Swipe our long-wear Mineral Highlighter across your cheekbones, bridge of nose, arch of the brow, cupid’s bow, and décolleté, focusing largely on the area around your eyes. Add several coats of volumizing Mascara and our Liquid Eyeliner in Raven for a standout look.

Shimmering Blue Eyes. Blue feels modern and fresh this time of year, and anyone can pull it off. Apply a navy eyeshadow—like our sparkling sapphire hue Ice Princess—and then outline your eyes with our Liquid Eyeliner in Storm or our Eyeliner in Navy. Add a touch of our baby blue shadow Skylar to the inner corners of your peepers and on your brow bone. Finish with a few coats of jet black Mascara for contrast, and keep the rest of your face simple.

Graphic Eyeliner. Consider bold eyeliner your new holiday staple. From graphic designs to vibrant colors, it’s all about going big with your liner. Our Liquid Eyeliner in Amethyst, Nile, Black Pearl or Storm will add an element of surprise and make your peepers pop. Leave the rest of your complexion dewy and radiant.

Glossy Red Pout. Give scarlet a fresh spin by selecting a lip gloss rather than a lipstick, like our candy apple red shade Caliente. Already have a favorite red lipstick? Top it off with a swipe of our Lip Gloss in Crystal for a standout look that will take you from day to night.
