From glittery sugar plum fairy eyelids to red ribbon eyeliner.

Sparkle season is upon us! While we’ll no doubt be slipping into sequin-encrusted dresses, tying our hair up into chic chignons and sporting crimson lips, extra attention must be paid to the eyes, which deserve to be dolled up with holiday-approved eye makeup looks.

You see, as one of the most expressive features on the human body, the eyes serve as an unparalleled canvas for glittery eyeliner, frosty eyeshadow, and festive appliqués to thrive. Come holiday party season, let your eyes do the talking in a room filled with holly-jolly party-goers.

To inspire your next holiday eye makeup look, we rounded up eight show-stopping and shimmer-packed lid looks, with appearances from your favourite stars like Hailey Bieber, Simone Ashley, and Vanessa Hudgens. Plus, the must-have beauty buys you’ll need to test out these eye makeup looks yourself.

Sugar plum fairy eyeshadow

The beauty community has had quite an appetite for food-inspired glam lately, and apparently, so has Hailey Bieber. Just look to her glazed donut nails and latte makeup for proof! Her latest contribution to the trend, though, is one of our favourites so far. Enter: sugar plum fairy makeup.

Perfectly timed to party season, her sugar plum eyeshadow is satisfying all of our sugar and shine cravings. Following Bieber’s TikTok tutorial, this eye look layers bubblegum pink blush, shimmery shadows, and gloss on the lids for a multi-dimensional final result that is too sweet to resist.
