This holiday season, beauty counters are brimming with glittering palettes, shimmery highlighters and bold lip shades that promise to make festive looks unforgettable.

From luxurious limited-edition sets to innovative multitasking products, there’s something to suit every mood and occasion, whether you’re aiming for subtle glow or full-on glamour. 

Warm and natural

For softer, effortless glam, Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Cozy Mini Eyeshadow Palette has a selection of neutral to rosy tones in matte and metallics finishes, evoking the feeling of cozines and a gentle, natural look.

Create a gradient eye look using the cool-tone shades of icy pink or silver with the warm-tone antique bronze or cranberry for understated chicness.

Festive glow

Guerlain’s Ombres G eyeshadow quads have an exceptional texture made up of intense pigments for long-lasting colour, offering unparalleled depth.

This palette adorns the eyes with four different finishes: an intense satin, a deep matte, a luminous metallic finish and a radiant pearl.

Two precious shades – gold and silver with a metallic finish – are teamed with a satin brown and a deep nude.

Party-ready eyes

MAC’s limited edition MACnificent eyeshadow palette is a set of six wintery neutrals encased in a mirrored compact.

With three versatile finishes, Satin, Cream, and Shimmer, you can add a festive edge to your everyday makeup routine or pop on a party-ready look with this ultra-versatile limited-edition lineup.

It includes pigment-rich metallic, shimmer and matte pressed powders, plus an illuminating eye gloss.

Round-the-clock shine control

This pair of sweatproof, ultra-blurring setting powders deliver 24-hour shine control and premium performance, smoothing the look of pores and lines.

Designed to deliver all-day makeup longevity with a soft-focus matte finish, its flashback-free formula survives sweat, controls oil and won’t settle into lines.
