Holiday makeup trends you *have* to try this season
There's soo much to love about this time of year (The decorations! The gifts! The food!)— but most of all, the makeup. Even if you’re staying in, this is the time of year to go all out. And to help, we’ve curated holiday party-worthy looks serving bold shapes, vibrant color and lots of confidence.
LOTS OF LINER
Frame your eyes with bold shades like yellow and blue or accent their shape with graphic seafoam dots (extra points for interspersing rhinestones). Party season calls for thinking outside the box.

LEAD WITH YOUR LIPS
When it comes to lip color, your philosophy is go bold...or go home (and wear it there, too). Whether you vibe with fiery coral, deep plum or flirty, faded pink, your lips will do all the talking (literally *and* figuratively...get it?).

STAY LOW-KEY
Prefer something subtle but stellar? We’re here for that. No-makeup makeup (with a dash of drama) is key. Go monochrome with a touch of gloss and liner, add some peachy blush or simply wear a royal accessory—your besties will totally bow down.
