The festive season is around the corner all over the world. Be it Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, or New Year, we all want to hear – “Oh, that glow!” Even the most minimalist of makeup wearers can embrace the fun and flair that party season offers. It’s a time to take risks with color and texture, revel in drawing attention, and go all-out with the sparkle. We are talking bold eyeshadow shades, shimmery red lipstick, blinding highlighters, and of course—glitter. Check out these 5 festive looks for 5 upcoming festivals that will undoubtedly bring all the eyes on you.
Illuminating Diwali

Diwali- the Indian festival of lights and sparkle, has to have a makeup that resonates with its spirit. The face should be nice and dewy, and emanate a natural glow. Peach lip color for your luscious lips with a touch of gloss and you are all set to light up the path you walk keeping up to the spirit of the festivities! Illuminator drops are good options to get a dewy radiance.
Golden Christmas

Ditch the usual reds and greens and take your makeup game to another level by having the “golden” look. When playing with gold for the eyelids, swipe the whole lid with the metallic hue, which would highlight the eyes. Extend the color outwards to create a winged shape. You can also try the cat-eye look for this shade. For the lips, what you need to do is to highlight only the center of your lips for a diva-ish touch to come through.
Sparkling New Year

Tis’ the season to get glam. For a special evening look, a combination of natural go-to’s and brilliant bold products are on-trend. For a simple, paint-by-numbers approach, keep the skin soft-focus and neutral, and balance color and depth with a strong, matte lip with a nude, shimmery eye, or vice versa. Use high-gloss or matte lip color that will be perfect for a New Year party.
Dazzling Thanksgiving

We couldn’t have a thanksgiving makeup list without having a cute orange look like this one. Orange looks amazing on all skin tones and eye colors. The key is to be sure to blend it well. The eyes sparkle with beautiful orange glitter and the lips have a bold and vibrant orange tone. Makeup like this will wow and suits the occasion perfectly.
Glittering Hanukkah

The official Hanukkah colors are blue, golden, and silver — which we must say, makes for the perfect festive holiday makeup look. Try bright mascaras, glitter eyeshadow, bold lips, and silver highlighter. When it comes to Hanukah, dark blue prevails over lighter shades. Trust us, your face will sparkle and shine as bright as those menorah candles!
