10 Holiday Makeup Looks to Make Your Season Merry and Bright

It’s not necessarily the traditional route, but smoky brown details feel as perfectly right this time of year as a warm cup of cocoa.

Hello, drama! Smudgy pine tree-colored lids are the sultry party look we’re asking Santa for this year.

The instant pick-me-up of a dramatic lip especially comes in handy when you’re running around preparing for the holidays. Finish it off with a sweep of mascara and you’re good to go!

If you’re landing a kiss at the holidays, make it really count with 2017’s sultriest shade. A matte finish ups the vampy vibe of this party look.

Prowl the parties with this retro eye look and double-down with a bold lip shade. Hey, it’s the holidays, anything goes!

Winged liner gets a modern twist with bold holiday-ready tones like emerald, scarlet, and teal.

Let your embellished cocktail dress take center stage by pairing it with unexpectedly understated makeup. A pretty shimmer and subtle nude pink lips are the perfect balance for a dramatic party look.

A touch of sparkle can go a long way! Brighten up your look with a hint of shimmer in the inner corners of your eyes that will totally camouflage the fact that you were up all night wrapping gifts.

Jewel tones are a natural around the holidays, and there’s no hue more fitting than rich plum. A subtle sweep of the shade pairs perfectly with fresh, glowing skin.

Nothing says “holidays” like sparkle. Dramatic metallic eyeshadow is balanced by pretty nude lips and a clean face.
