The holiday season is all about sparkle, glow, and having fun with your makeup. Whether you’re attending a cozy family gathering or a glamorous holiday party, choosing the right festive makeup look can elevate your entire outfit and boost your confidence.

At Made Perfect, we’ve curated a guide to the most on-trend festive makeup styles for 2025, plus tips on how to use our products, from eyeshadow palettes to liquid foundation, to achieve a flawless finish that lasts all night.

1. Soft Glow Holiday Makeup

Soft, radiant makeup is a favorite for those who prefer a more natural yet festive look. Think luminous skin, gentle blush, and subtle shimmer on the eyes.

How to Achieve It:

  • Start with our liquid foundation for an even base that feels lightweight but provides natural coverage.

  • Apply a soft touch of blush palette to the apples of your cheeks for a fresh glow.

  • Sweep a light shimmer from our eyeshadow palette across your eyelids.

  • Highlight the high points of your face with a subtle highlighter for that “lit-from-within” look.

  • Finish with a swipe of lip conditioner followed by your favorite nude lipstick.

Why It Works: The soft glow look is perfect for intimate gatherings, work parties, or any event where you want to look polished without heavy makeup.

2. Classic Smokey Eye

Nothing says festive like a dramatic smokey eye. This timeless look pairs beautifully with red lips or neutral tones, depending on the vibe you’re going for.

How to Achieve It:

  • Apply our eyeshadow palette using the darker shades on the outer corners and lighter shades on the lids.

  • Blend carefully to avoid harsh lines.

  • Use our liquid concealer to clean up any fallout for a sharp, professional finish.

  • Curl lashes and apply mascara for added drama.

Pro Tip: Pair with our mattifying setting spray to ensure the smokey effect stays flawless all night.

3. Bold Metallic Eyes

Metallics are trending in 2025 and are perfect for festive events. Gold, bronze, and silver shades add instant glamour.

How to Achieve It:

  • Apply a neutral base with our powder or foundation.

  • Use metallic shades from the eyeshadow palette on the lids.

  • Add a pop of shimmer in the inner corners of the eyes.

  • Keep the lips soft with a neutral lip conditioner or nude lipstick to let your eyes stand out.

Why It Works: Metallics catch light in photos, making them ideal for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve events.

4. Festive Lip-Focused Look

For a bold and cheerful statement, highlight your lips instead of your eyes. Rich reds, deep berries, and playful pinks dominate this style.

How to Achieve It:

  • Prep your lips with lip conditioner to ensure smooth application.

  • Apply a long-wear lipstick or gloss over a subtle base of concealer to intensify the color.

  • Keep eyes minimal with a touch of eyeshadow palette shimmer and mascara.

Pro Tip: Use a matching blush palette shade to harmonize the look and create a balanced appearance.

5. Glitter and Glam

Sometimes, you want your makeup to truly stand out. Glitter is back for 2025, perfect for bold personalities who love a party-ready face.

How to Achieve It:

  • Prime your eyelids and base with liquid foundation and concealer.

  • Apply a metallic or shimmer shade from the eyeshadow palette.

  • Add glitter carefully on the lid or along the lash line using a small brush.

  • Pair with a subtle blush and natural lips to avoid overloading the look.

Why It Works: Glitter makeup makes photos pop and is perfect for New Year celebrations or evening events.

6. Tips for All Festive Looks

  • Always start with a clean, moisturized face.

  • Blend your foundation and concealer well for a natural look.

  • Use a mattifying setting spray to lock in makeup, especially in humid or winter conditions.

  • Don’t forget your lips-lip conditioner will keep them smooth and hydrated.

  • Layer products strategically: base first, eyes next, lips last.
