Best Celebrity Makeup Looks to Get You Glam-Ready for Holiday Season 2021

How do we get into the holiday spirit here at Stylevana? Some say watching the classic movies (any Love Actually fans?) and some prefer buying holiday gifts for their loved ones. The holidays may look different this year, but that does not mean we cannot celebrate the holidays all month long by going all out on holiday makeup ideas for virtual celebration. So, what makeup looks to try for this holiday season? Here are our favorite celeb-inspired makeup tips to help you look insta-ready for the 'gram this holiday season!


Makeup Tip #1

Metallic Eyes

If there's ONE eye makeup look that never seems to go out of style, it's definitely the iconic metallic eye makeup look. It's edgy and bold while brimming with effortless shimmer that'll take you through any holiday parties. Take it from supermodel Gigi Hadid who looks stunning with a wash of rich, sparkly gold eyeshadow on the lids to dial up the holiday makeup look.

Packed with a perfect lineup of 10 shimmery pigmented shades in pink-leaning hues, the Romand Better than Palette Light and Glitter Garden will be your perfect go-to for these types of holiday makeup looks. Dab some MACQUEEN Jewel Prism Jelly Balm Shadow onto the lids to add a wash of bronze for a cool, metallic finish.

Makeup Tip #2

Draped Blush Monochrome

Winter (especially the holiday season) is the best time of the year to bring back the "draped blush" look. This technique of putting your blush on your cheeks and temples might be a new one to unlock for some people, but this easy MUA-approved makeup trick can effortlessly elevate any monochrome makeup look you have in mind.

Consider a warm, rosy shade for your eyeshadow, blush, and lips like Selena Gomez did to pull off a swoon-worthy monochrome look. For dressy holiday soirées, you'll need the 3CE Multi Eye Colour Palette in Dry Bouquet for the statement-looking eye makeup look. Don't forget to give the monochromatic makeup trend a festive spin by complimenting the eyeshadow with a dusting of blush on the cheeks and temple — we love the peripera Pure Blushed Sunshine Cheek — to tie the whole look together.

There is never a wrong time or place for a classic 90s red lip, but a holiday party is an especially right time and place. Blackpink Jennie shows off a casually cool, 90s-inspired look by way of a bright red lip with HERA's Rouge Holic Matte in Solid Red, paired with a dewy, flawless complexion, all thanks to HERA's Black Cushion.

Makeup Tip #4

Wine-Stained Lips

ICYMI, burgundy will be making its usual appearance this holiday season, which means a bold statement lip is in order. For partygoers (or zoom-partygoers), the "Wine-Stained Lips" look is the best way to stand out from the crowd at a Christmas party. Just one simple rule: keep the rest of your makeup look minimal to make the lips stand out.

Steal a page from Blackpink Jisoo's beauty book and coat your lips with the MEMEBOX Matte To Go in Automatic. To create an illusion of fuller lips, the trick is to use the Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner in Real Rose to trace and coat your lip line before blending in with the lipstick.
