As the invites for the holiday soirées and festive dinners roll in, the one thing we look forward to more than Christmas gifts is the beauty looks we can experiment with. The holiday season is the perfect excuse to go all out with glitter, holographic pigments and jewel tones—apart from all the dewy, glowy looks.
Whether you're heading to a themed Christmas party or enjoying a cosy night in with friends and family, these celebrity makeup looks are inspiration enough.
Discover the secret to rosy, flushed cheeks with Pixi Beauty’s On-The-Glow Blush. The swipe-on stick will instantly become the best blush in your makeup kit by offering ease of use when travelling or on the go—adios, messy fingers. The creamy formula brings ginseng extracts and aloe vera to the table for a hydrating flush of colour. After applying moisturiser, simply twist the stick up and apply across the apples of your cheeks for a radiant flush.
This cream blush stick is perfect for wedding guests who want something easy, quick and mistake-proof. It delivers fresh colour with minimal effort and has enough pigment to stay visible throughout the day. Mukuchyan suggests using formulas like this as an anchor layer, then lightly setting with powder to help the colour last longer without losing that natural, skin-like finish.
Few mascaras have reached cult status quite like Better Than Sex and it continues to remain relevant for good reason. The hourglass-shaped brush is designed to grip lashes right from the root, coating them evenly and creating length, fullness and lift in a way that feels balanced rather than overdone. The formula builds beautifully depending on the finish you want — one coat keeps lashes soft and defined, while additional layers create a more dramatic effect without becoming clumpy or stiff. It’s the kind of mascara that delivers impact while still feeling wearable, which is likely why it has remained a favourite for so long.
Achieving that sleek, glassy hair finish isn’t complete without a flat iron. Divide your hair into small sections and gently glide the straightener through each one for smooth, shiny results. The Alan Truman Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener features black tourmaline ceramic plates for flawless styling with minimal damage. This versatile tool can both straighten and curl your hair. Its temperature monitoring feature protects hair from excessive heat.
If you’ve seen those glossy, beachy waves all over Instagram, this is probably the tool behind them. The triple-barrel design means you don’t have to twist or wrap your hair endlessly—just clamp, release and repeat for even, smooth waves. It heats up quickly, has multiple settings depending on your hair type and even shuts off automatically when you forget to unplug it. Easy, fast and surprisingly foolproof.
