We've already revealed the best holiday outfits, including the best party footwear. Now it's time for makeup. Whether you're looking to stand out from the party crowd or you're leaning toward a more minimalist presentation, we've got you covered. These runway holiday makeup looks are the best of the best so you're sure to find your ultimate soirée beauty strategy.
You may want to tailor your look to the type of party you're going to. Say it's a black tie affair. Go ahead and go all out. Decorate everything from your eyelids to your lips. A get-together with your fellow makeup-loving besties? Focus the glitz and glamour to one area of your face. (Feel free to go for broke when it comes to your nails.) If it's a family dinner and gift-giving function, dial down the shimmer and stick with some holiday staples. Like red lips or a pop of color along your lower lash lines.
Here are the top holiday makeup looks direct from the runways. Pair them with our selection of holiday hairstyles for maximum festive results.
Swipe a silver band straight across your face. Then work in a glistening pink lip to complete the look.
Highlight a red lip with plenty of golden eyeshadow.
Combine black eyeliner smudged halfway across your eyelids with red eyeliner decorating underneath your eyes. Polish things off with a glossy pink pout.
A berry-colored lip gets a moody makeover with hints of purple or black.
Don't match your lipstick to your nail color by favoring a classic ruby red on lips and a more maroon shade on fingers.
Give your burgundy lipstick a little luster with some well-placed golden accents. Keep the rest of your face low-key.
Extend your purple shimmer from your eyes to your cheeks. A frosty pink lip is a great way to polish off the look.
Red rectangles on the outer corners of eyes is a holiday-appropriate take on cat eyes.
Take a more sporadic approach with gold eyeshadow. It's alright if it's not even over both eyes.
Go for that winter windblown effect with several swipes of rosy blush. A partially glossy pink pout helps round out the look.
Just a swipe of icy blue eyeliner under each eye is all you need for a winter wonderland vibe.
Give smoky eyes the holiday treatment by incorporating gold eyeshadow.
If you've got the time and the silver sequins, replicate this brilliant eye look.
Highlight your eyes with a pale gold eyeshadow and add in a pinkish pout.
Be a little heavy-handed with the reddish bronze eyeshadow, then add a line of gold eyeliner underneath each eye. Match your lips to your eyeshadow.
Subtle dabs of silver on the inner corners of both eyes do wonders. Complete the look with a little mascara and a neutral kisser.
Flash back to the 90s by pairing matte red lips and purple lipstick. Skip the skinny eyebrows in favor of their bushier cousins.
A wine-colored lipstick can stand on its own.
Who says shimmer is only for above your eyes? Dust some on your eyebrows as well to go big for your bash.
Put a fresh spin on a classic cat eye by adding a second, less-thick flick. Work in a lined nude lip FTW.
Try a blurred lip in an unexpected shade. Like a perfect-for-the-season plum.
Pair peach eyeshadow and gold eyeliner to give your peepers extra dimension. Top off the look with soft pink lipstick.
