When it comes to holiday makeup ideas, the possibilities are endless. From shimmering cobalt blue eyeshadow to the playful charm of doll makeup to bold metallic lips, there are plenty to choose from.

Whether you’re a seasoned festival regular or your first time at a festival makeover, these simple holiday makeup tips will ensure that your look lasts all day while you dance, shine, and dazzle the crowd.

How to make sure your holiday makeup lasts all-day

The last thing you want when going to a holiday event is for your vibrant appearance to fade. Here are some simple holiday makeup tips to keep your makeup intact from dawn to dusk.

• Start with a solid base – like this bestselling Delilah Under Wear base – to build a smooth base for your look.
• Remember to use broad-spectrum sunscreen – festival grounds are notorious for accidental sun exposure.
• After the makeup is finished, a good setting spray is essential. It will lock in your image and fight sweat, humidity, and even those tearful moments of joy!

Easy way to make up for the holidays

That being said, let’s take a look at the best and easy-to-apply holiday makeup that you can try today:

1. Colored mascara

Brush your holiday look with colored mascara. This easy-to-use element can dramatically change your look, making it a simple holiday makeup routine staple.

Choose a color that contrasts sharply with your outfit—perhaps a vivid purple or bright green. Line your lips with eyeliner to combine an unconventional look with a festive look.

2. Cool colors: Ice eyes and lilac

Cold eyes: Get festive with a light grey or ice blue frosty eyeshadow, and apply it from your LIDS to your brow bone. Accentuate this look by sprinkling an icy white shimmer over your cheekbones, blending into a seamless sheen.

Lilac: Pair your lilac eyes with glossy pink lips. Start by applying shimmering lavender eyeshadow to your LIDS and blending it upward. Use taupe eyeshadow to frame your eyes and finish with the lightest lilacs to highlight the inner corners. Add volume to your lashes with lengthening mascara and a glossy pink lip gloss.

3. Crystal eyes

Every holiday look is complete with a bit of sparkle. Crystal-winged eyes are fascinating and incredibly simple to make. Line your lid with black liquid eyeliner and stick small gems along the line for a stunning look.

If you’re aiming for something less complicated, opt for pre-arranged facial gems you can use. This flashy feel is perfect for standing out from the holiday crowd.

4. Dark blue eye shadow

Blue eyeshadow is a must-have for holiday makeup lovers. Apply cream blue eyeshadow to your eyelids and brow bone to stand out effortlessly.

Use a blending brush to soften the edges for a fantastic, seamless effect. This simple app packs a punch and gives your holiday makeup a splash of the ocean.

5. Disco eyes and cheeks

Unleash your inner disco diva with two-tone eyeshadow and a highlighter. Apply it to your eyelids and cheekbones for a radiant, multi-dimensional effect.

Finish with a shiny lip gloss and a few strokes of colored mascara for a cohesive, sparkly holiday look that’s surprisingly easy to use.

6. Doll-inspired holiday makeup

Embrace playful, doll-like beauty for your next holiday season with this simple makeup idea.

For comfort, apply a light color and a coat of setting powder to keep the matte look throughout the day.

For the eyes, opt for vibrant eyeshadow cream, and don’t shy away from bright, bold blusher and red lipstick. This festive look is a whimsical way to amplify features, making it the perfect choice to capture the holiday spirit.

7. Sparkle: Eyebrows and eyelashes

Spice up your holiday look with our exclusive glitter and glitter collection. Perfect for striking looks!

Shimmery eyebrows: Shimmery eyebrows are an excellent choice for those who want glitter but don’t want it. Apply a thin layer of eyelash glue to your eyebrows, wait until it becomes a little sticky, then press down on the loose glitter of your choice. For a more straightforward application, choose a glitter gel that is easy to brush and still provides a shimmering effect.

Shiny lashes: Amplify your holiday look with shiny false lashes. Trim the shimmery lashes to fit just outside the corner of your eye for a subtle shimmery effect. Or, for total glamour, use a full line of wire lashes. Enhance this effect by adding a bit of loose glitter to the inner corner of your eye to make your eyes glow. To be even more precise, be sure to learn how to curl your eyelashes without curlers and optimize the duration of eyelash extensions.

8. Graphic Eyeliner for a bold statement

Graphic eyeliner starkly contrasts the traditional holiday look and is perfect for those who prefer a more artistic style.

Experiment with abstract shapes and bold lines. Use a waterproof, smudge-proof eyeliner to ensure your design stays intact, no matter the holiday antics. Set your artwork with a matching eyeshadow lock look.

9. Metallic lips

Metallic lips are taking the festival scene by storm. They combine vibrant colors with an irresistible shine, perfect for those who want their smile to shine as brightly as their personality.

To achieve this effect, opt for metallic liquid lipsticks. Not only do they provide a rich, pigmented shine, but they also last for hours during celebrations without the need for constant touchups.

The ombre effect, which blends two metallic shades, elevates this look, making it a fantastic choice for any holiday makeup lover.

10. Rhinestone masks dazzled the crowd

Elevate your holiday makeup with a stunning rhinestone mask and turn your look into a work of art. Although this mask is unnatural, it can still have the same effect!

Start by precisely outlining your design with white eyeliner. Then, meticulously apply each rhinestone with a gentle adhesive to ensure they stay in place throughout the day.

This shimmering mask, paired with matte foundation and exaggerated eyelashes, creates a mesmerizing effect that captures every light and every gaze at the festival.

11. Declare blushing

Embrace the joy of color with a statement blush that enhances your holiday look with minimal effort. Choose vibrant colors like bubblegum powder or lavender to add a fresh pop of color.

Apply blush to your cheeks, temples, and eyelids to create a playful, uniform look that is glamorous and lively. This trick is perfect for those who prefer a simple yet impactful look.

12. Watercolor eyes

Watercolor eyes are the perfect holiday makeup idea for those who like to experiment with color. This look allows you to mix multiple eyeshadows on your LIDS to create a beautiful, painterly effect that is very simple to achieve.

Apply primer first to ensure the color pops and lasts throughout the day. Then, use your fingers to apply and blend different shades on your eyelids. The result is a stunning, fluid mix of colors that looks complex and expressive.
