When it comes to a festive time like the holidays, we love the idea of being able to go all out with our makeup looks. Whether it’s putting on vibrant, red lipstick or blending in green eyeshadow — there are different directions to go in when it comes to makeup. If looking to go in an alternative route, think about using glitter or underrated colors like blue. With that being said, read on for a list of the best festive holiday looks that you can try out for yourself.

There is no Christmas without some candy canes. In this look, the sweet treat is used to create the winged eye look. A vibrant red color is used on the inner and outer parts of the eyelids. Then, we see silver glitter added to the middle part of the lid to make it look more classy. Feel free to add a tiny snowflake detail either with a sticker or by drawing it yourself.
Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are another highlight of the season. For this makeup look, a vibrant pink hue shade is used for the entire lid. Next, take a black eyeliner to create a squiggly-like line around the eye. You can finish off by using different colors to draw in the different-colored Christmas lights.

Besides the classic red and green colors, blue is another choice when it comes to holiday colors. The use of the ombré pattern is seen on the lid by combining blue and a light purple-like color. A winged eyeliner can be used in a light blue color for the eye makeup to stand out even more.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you’ll go down in history with this makeup look! The fictional character is honored with a tiny antler detail seen at the corner part of the eye. A neutral orange shade is used for the lid and a bright red gem is placed near the bridge of the nose. The gem represents the reindeer’s iconic red nose.

In this last look, another beloved holiday treat is honored — the gingerbread cookie! A mix of orange and gold colors is used on the lids and the cheeks. White eyeliner can be used to draw cute holiday details like gingerbread cookies and hearts. Also, at the corner of the eyelid, there’s a melted icing detail seen to tie the entire look together.
