6. Silver and black shimmery eyes with bold lip by @rashnakutwaroo

A navy to mauve to shimmer look paired with lashes that we can’t enough of. Colurpop is a little hard to get hold of, so we recommend this Revolution Pro Regeneration Celestial Eye Palette. Get this on Superdrug online with a Student Beans discount!

7. Simple holiday makeup by @makeupandmeg

If simple is your go-to or you’re out of time, use your fingers to apply a little shimmer, mascara and a bold lip. An effortless look that looks like you put your back into it.

8. Winged shimmery look with neutral lip by @jennypenaxo

@jennypenaxo shows you how to get that perfect cut-crease with a spoon. Her festive look is glamorous with an understated shimmer that isn’t too loud on the eyes.

9. One-shade smokey red eye makeup by @suqqusociety

We love this one-shade look that’s super simple to recreate with a bit of tape. Suqqu is a little pricy, so we recommend using the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Edit Petite Eye Shadow Palette to achieve the shadow look.

10. Christmas bauble-inspired look by @colleen.makeupp

We’re huge fans of Colleen. She adds the cutest little bauble off her winged liner! You can scrap that altogether though and just stick with the bauble colours on the eyeshadow itself if the tiny bauble is too much of a challenge.

11. Candycane queen by @sophiehannah

Feeling adventurous? Go all out with this candycane inspired look – headband and all. At least it’s a simple palette of white and red though!

12. Ice Queen by @mcdrew

The ice queen look is always a winner around wintertime. Get this winged ice queen look using The Forever Flawless Ice Eyeshadow Palette by Makeup Revolution.

13. Winter Wonderland themed look by @makeupbyash.x

A more advanced Ice Queen/Winter Wonderland look with a darker blue palette and hand-drawn snowflakes. Get a white liner handy – we recommend the L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Eyeliner from LOOKFANTASTIC.

14. Gingerbread cookies and holly-candy cane look by @raydiatebyraychel

Going to two events? These looks by Raychel offer two different vibes we think you’ll love. They’re on the more difficult side to achieve, but we believe in you.

15. Bold red, green and gold wing by @hollifer__

This bold look consists of three Christmassy colours. Pair them with some false lashes or make them more glam with a black liner on the outer edge.

16. Green-gradient look with red and gold liner by @colleen.makeupp

Again, we stan Colleen. This look is a tad easier to achieve with the lack of bauble. Stock up on greens, red and gold for this Christmas-themed winged look.

17. Green elf and candy inspired look by @katied_mua

This elf-inspired look involves exaggerating a cut-crease, green shadows, snowflakes and dramatic false lashes. Let’s not forget an ickle snowflake on the nose!

18. Red smokey winged look with inner star by @colleen.makeup

Okay, this is our last Colleen one (they’re just that good!). For those red shadow fans, you’re gonna love this look. Pair it up with green shadow on the under eyes and a tiny gold star in the inner corner.

19. Eyebrow Christmas makeup ideas by @cynthi_yahvibes

Maybe you just wanna jazz up the brows a little? This tutorial by Cynthi has some fantastic Christmas eyebrow inspo. Make sure you’ve got a steady hand though!

20. Grinch-inspired look by @makeup_by_devvynn

Secretly a grinch but want to pass off as festive? This look is for you! Stock up on bright greens to achieve this look.

21. Snowflake, tinsel and Christmas tree liner ideas by @makeupbyrabe

We love the concept of Rabe’s audience drawing looks for her to recreate with makeup! She’s got three liner ideas that scream Christmas that we think you’ll love. Get these water-activated liners from Beauty Bay.

22. Brown champagne shimmery Christmas glam by @joannawindrammua

This Christmas glam look by Joanna is another we stan. It’s got a brown, shimmery base, complete with a dramatic smokey wing and false lashes.

23. Festive liner brown soft glam by @gord.george

Another soft glam look that’s mostly shadows-based. Use tones of brown, gold and bronze. Don’t forget to line just under the brows for a snatched, cleaned up look.

24. Christmas lights liner look by @makeupbyrabe

This Christmas lights liner look is just too cute! It’s not too complicated either. If the little bulbs of light are too much, the red, green and yellow bulbs work just fine on their own too.

25. Easy holiday makeup with pearls by @charbarker

We love the simplicity of this look, but it’s also quite different to what’s on this list. Make this simple festive makeup look more complex by using eyelash glue and sticking on some tiny pearls. You could even use tiny silver or gold stars if you’d prefer.

26. Bronze holiday look by @princesshopex

A bronze eyeshadow look that uses glitter in the inner corner and midsection of the eyes. Pair it with a brown or nude lip to make the gold stand out. We recommend a HUDA beauty palette to achieve this look.
