While I love a good tan all year round, there’s something magical about incorporating festive colours into our makeup looks and wardrobes. In this ultimate guide, we’ll enthusiastically explore the hottest Christmas colours in makeup and fashion, guaranteed to make you sparkle all season long!
Christmas Colours in Makeup: Trends to Try
Ruby Red Lips – A Classic Christmas Colour
Why it’s a must-try: A bold, ruby red lip is a timeless Christmas classic. It adds a pop of colour to any look and pairs perfectly with subtle, shimmery eyeshadows.
How to rock it:
– Prep your lips with a nourishing lip balm.
– Line your lips with a matching pencil.
– Apply a bold, ruby red lipstick (we love our top picks).
– Finish with a light, shimmery gloss for extra festivity.
Emerald Green Eyes – For the Bold Beauties
Why it’s a must-try: Emerald green eyeshadow or liner adds a fun, playful twist to any Christmas look.
How to rock it:
– Apply a light, neutral base to your eyelids.
– Use a fluffy brush to sweep emerald green eyeshadow across your lid (or opt for a subtle, shimmery liner).
– Balance with natural, defined brows and a soft, sun-kissed glow (thanks to your fave self-tanning products, of course!).
Icy Silvers and Chromes – For a Frosty Twist
Why it’s a must-try: Icy silvers and chromes give your look a modern, frosty feel perfect for the winter season.
How to rock it:
– Apply a light, shimmery eyeshadow all over your lid for a subtle, icy effect.
– Or, go bold with a chrome lip colour (pair with a natural base and light, golden highlight for a chic contrast).
