From Day to Night: Christmas Makeup Looks To Try This Season

If you know P.Louise, you’ll know Christmas is a massive deal, and it’s definitely not the time to blend into the background. If there’s ever a season to go all out, it’s now. We’re talking extra glam, blinding pigment, and glitter for days. Whether you’re catching up over Christmas cocktails with the girls or heading straight to the work party, we’ve curated the perfect makeup looks that tick all the boxes. So grab your favourite base, get comfortable, and let us turn up the holiday magic because you deserve to feel completely unstoppable.

Festive Red Lip Look

Nothing screams Christmas more like a red lip babe! It's giving classic, ultimate holiday statement. This versatile lip looks good day or night, and paired with soft glam and a natural lash, it's effortlessly chic and guaranteed to turn heads. Our The Lip Check Lip Kit in Get Reddy With Me has the perfect trio of lip products for that bombshell red lip including a liquid lip base, a lip liner and a lip oil to add shine.  

Soft Glam Shimmer Makeup Look

We're swapping festive reds for a dreamier, softer palette. A full glam look can still look fresh and versatile enough to take you from day to night, starting with a smooth-as-silk skin base, that lets that inner radiance shine through. Then add a light pink shimmer on the eyes, a soft-focus wing and a nude ombre lip. This is the look for when you want to feel totally unstoppable but with an elegant twist.

Our My Frosty Fairytale 10-Piece Beauty Gift Set includes a dewy serum and face mask for the ultimate skin prep and a 12-pan pink shadow palette, a lip base and lip mask for that chic Christmas makeup look. 

Festive Green Cut Crease

Christmas Party Smoky Eye

A Christmas party without a sultry smoky eye? We don't know her. This is the ultimate holiday staple for when you want full drama, ultimate confidence, and eyes that do all the talking. To give your smoky eye a festive touch, add some silver shimmer shadow to the top of the eyelid and add some white shadow or highlighter to the inner corner of your eye look to give it that snowy, frosty feel. Smooth, seamless, and packed with blinding pigment, it's time to elevate your look and give that main character energy all night long.

For the ultimate smoky eye use our Wedding Wish XXXL Eyeshadow Palette and our guide on how to create the perfect smoky eye.

Frosted Pink Christmas Look

When it comes to Christmas, the more glitter the better, so don't be shy with it! Using our Fairest Of Them All Eyeshadow Palette as part of our Pink Macaron My Frosty Fairytale Beauty Gift Set, we've packed on a gorgeous pink shimmer on the top of the lid and paired it with Cheek Of It Liquid Blush and a pink ombre lip for that full glam, pink fairytale festive look.

Christmas Makeup Tips & Tricks From The Pros

Party Proofing

Going from desk to dancefloor? Keep your glam locked in all day and night without creasing or bleeding with these two easy steps:

Lock Your Pigments Down

For loose glitter or pigments looks, you'll need the right technique to ensure these stay where they're placed, otherwise they're prone to fallout. Use a high-performance setting spray after picking up the pigments with a brush and spray the bristles lightly to dampen the powder and ensure it sticks upon contact with the skin. For larger glitter, use a small amount of glitter glue on your chosen area to ensure it sticks.

Day To Night 2-Minute Tweaks

1. Sculpt & Pop:  Apply some Cheek Of It Liquid Blush on your cheekbones slightly higher than your daytime blush, blending up the temples to lift your face. Then add some liquid highlight to the highest point of your cheekbones and the tip of the nose to add that festive shimmer and shine.

2. Smoky Cat Eye Flick: Scribble a thick, messy line along your top lash line, concentrating the product on the outer third of your eye. Take a dense brush and buff the line outwards and upwards toward the tail of your brow. The smudged pigment creates a sultry, smoked-out wing to elevate your day look.

3. 3D Lip Contour: Trace over your daytime lip colour by heavily overlining just the Cupid’s bow and the centre of your bottom lip with a deeper liner. Blend the edges inward using your finger, then drench the entire lip in our glassy lip oil. The contrast creates an instant 3D, plumped-up pout.
