holiday beauty

Whether you’re a fan of over-the-top makeup or you prefer understated beauty, there has been an option for just about everyone. The latest makeup fad involves eyeshadow inspired by grape soda, and can be easily spotted by its vibrant violet tone. Grape soda-toned eyelids have been stealing the spotlight on social media, and are making waves with their vivid colour.

Inspired by the tinsel around the mantelpiece and on the Christmas tree, glitter mascara and sparkly false eyelashes are quickly making the rounds on Instagram. If you want to light up the room at your family’s Christmas dinner or stun on New Year’s Eve, look no further than these ways to rock the trend.

Whether you’re heading off to a holiday office party or simply for dinner and drinks, there’s nothing quite like makeup which can suit any occasion. As the skies darken and we approach evening, simply darken your tones and add a punchy lip colour to seal the deal. We’ve rounded up a few Instagram makeup looks to inspire your beauty for the season ahead.

When one thinks of red-tinged eyes, less than appealing images of infections and seasonal allergies immediately spring to mind. After all, redness around the eye area isn’t usually a pretty sight. However, this season, the rebellious and fierce look of red eye makeup can make a surprising splash at all your holiday events.

Although the strobing trend has been becoming increasingly popular with makeup lovers this past year, the newest variation on the look involves a hint of shimmer. Just in time for the holidays, glitter strobing is slated to rule as a festive beauty trend.

While candy cane eyeliner is certainly helping to usher in the holiday season, it seems like Christmas makeup trends are becoming increasingly quirky this year. If eye makeup reminiscent of peppermint candy isn’t quite to your liking, the look of elf on the shelf eyeliner just may suit your tastes.
