The festive season is fast approaching, which means it’s time to take your gifting game up a notch! We’ve already explored this year’s most coveted beauty holiday collections, but now, our focus is solely on makeup.

So don’t stress, because we’ve done the legwork for you! Here’s your go-to guide to the must-have makeup essentials for Christmas 2025.

 

FOR THE EYES

If you’re looking for show-stopping colours to help your eyes steal the spotlight this season, these eyeshadow palettes will do just the job. From glimmering metallics to jewel-toned shades, each product is packed with rich pigments and textures that let you pull off festive looks without fuss. Whether you’re aiming to turn heads at a holiday soirée or keeping it cosy for an intimate Christmas feast, these palettes are sure to impress!

FOR THE LIPS

No makeup look is complete without a pop of colour on the lips! When it comes to pigment, you can trust these lippies to last through all your holiday celebrations, so you can toast, mingle, and snack without worrying about touch-ups. Plus, their nourishing formulas keep your pout hydrated, while a variety of shades—from glossy reds to soft pinks—ensures there’s a shade for every mood.

FOR THE CHEEKS

A radiant flush is the way to go if you want to add some warmth to the cheeks. These blush and highlighter sets are both buildable and blendable, making them easy to use even for beginners. Long-lasting and lightweight, they come in either powder, cream, or liquid formulas that won’t feel heavy on the skin. They’re also incredibly versatile, letting you create everything from a natural daytime look to a full beat glam.

FOR THE FACE

Add these complexion must-haves to your holiday shopping carts for a flawless base! From blurring primers to long-wear setting sprays and powders, these essentials will help you achieve a polished canvas and lock in your festive look. Even better, they keep your skin looking luminous while feeling comfortable from dawn to dusk.
