The holiday season is here, and it’s time to spread cheer with stunning beauty looks that make heads turn!
For us beauty lovers, party season is when we finally get the chance to play with bold and glitter palettes that spend most of their time sitting untouched at the back of our beauty drawer. It's the perfect time to swap out your nude or pink lipstick shade for a cheerful red, amp up the glitter on your eyes, or add an extra pop of blush on your cheeks!
But, if you're not that type, remember that you don’t have to go all out because you’re going out. We think some partygoers will still choose a fresh-faced look with just a bold lip for a touch of drama. Even if a holiday party is just a cozy family dinner, a red or berry lip has an excuse to make an appearance this time of the year.
For more reasons to RSVP yes to those holiday invites, here are five of them–save this article for makeup inspiration from your favorite celebrities to plan your beauty looks throughout all your festivities this year.
JANINE GUTIERREZ
Think nude but expensive. If bronze eyeshadow on its own feels basic, mix things up with a bit of glitter and shimmer, warm peach or orange blush, and glossy nude lips. Janine proves just how elegant this look can be, especially if you want to maintain a classic elegance.

CATRIONA GRAY
A swipe of a dramatic lip color in cranberry shade paired with a smokey cat eye is all you need to make your look feel party-ready. If you're into a more polished vibe, you can go with sleek pulled-back hair too, just like Catriona!

JULIA BARRETTO
As Julia proves, glitter can still look classy and classic. In this look, she wore a clear glitter eyeshadow just above her creases and paired it with soft pink lips, perfect for any cocktail party or evening event when you want to glow without necessarily stealing the show.

ELISSE JOSON
This holiday season is the perfect time to test out this year’s Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse! If glitzy eye makeup or bold red lips aren’t your thing, this is a casual cool look to get into the celebratory spirit.

KAILA ESTRADA
With glossy lips, glittery lids and bronzed and highlighted cheeks, Kaila’s look is a triple threat. For the eyes, blend a darker shadow in the crease with a fluffy eyeshadow brush to create depth and dimension. If you’re after drama, this look is right up your alley.
