Hi there! I’m from Canada and I always love wearing Maybelline Eyestudio in Irresistible Ivy..I wear Rimmel East End Snob lip gloss and I love Maybelline Great Lash Mascara and Rimmel exaggerate eyeliner in blackest black.
USA. I usually go with a bold eye, including Urban Decay 24/7 liner in something bright like Ransom that goes with but does not match whatever I’m wearing
Im from US and I love wearing Stila Peony and E.L.F. Ruby Kiss lip plumping glaze!
USA Sally Hansen nail polish strips in Candy cane & if nail polish doesn’t count….Revlon diamond lust e/s in Celestial Silver.

My favorite holiday beauty product is Dior Lipstick in color Mazette. Sometimes it looks like fuchsia sometimes bright color.

I live in Va, USA! And the thing I love to wear during holidays n party’s is the UD Naked Pallete…
I can never manage red lips, so I go for glossy with Nars Dolce Vita.
USA
3) Another great holiday statement lip that’s a bit unexpected is the gorgeous bright, bright pink of MAC’s Candy YumYum! I wore it matte in the summer, but for the colder months I like to add clear Lipglass for a chic shiny finish.
USA
I love red nail polishes =) OPI red or Butter London come to bed red
I’m from South Korea, but I study in the US. I love using dark berry lipsticks for the holiday! I love Nars MATTE lipstick in Mascat

I live in California!
my favorite make up is Dubonnet by MAC
such a nice deep red, one I can actually wear without feeling too flashy, but still bold enough to feel more outgoing.
US of A….again! I’ve been loving gradient manicures, and I want to try a red one for the holidays! I’ve been loving it with Sinful Daddy’s girl + China Glaze CG in the City, so perfect!
USA!
I plan to wear OPI’s Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous nail polish for the holidays this year.
USA
Loving the WNW silent treatment trio. It can create a nice smokey eye for a holiday party or a more neutral day-to-day look
I live in Massachusetts and I really miss the Shu store that used to be on Newbury Street in Boston. I am a big fan of red holiday lips and I love sheers because the intensity is a little lower. My new fave sheer red is Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Tarnish in Busted- it’s a Sephora exclusive sheer fat pencil that you can both line and fill in with. Great shade of red- not too orange or too blue!
I live in Canada and my go-to holiday item is MAC’s lipstick in Russian Red.
Nothing gets you in the spirit more than a deep red lipstick!
USA
For holiday parties I really like to wear Mac Russian Red. I love red lipstick but don’t wear it that often. The holidays are a great time for it! I also love Zoya’s Trixie nail polish. Beautiful silver color.
i’m not great with makeup so my must have is great lashes. I love dior show mascara. i’m in the US.
I live in the U.S.
My favorite holiday item to wear to parties is bold red lips. I love revlon’s colorburst lipstick in true red.
Hi Karla,
I live in Tennessee, and I actually have a prediction for what I will be wearing to holiday parties – LORAC 3D Liquid Lustre! It is the perfect accompaniment for my classic smoky/flirty/party eye look. I’ve not used anything else quite like it, and when I bought it, I knew it was going to be a special occasion item- what’s more special occasion than a Christmas party!
I live in the US and I’ll be wearing China Glaze’s Riveter Rouge this holiday season. It’s a deeper red with golden micro-glitter and I think it’ll look great at Christmas parties!
I’m in the US. Still obsessed with sparkly holiday nails! A must will be Jesse’s Girl Fire Fly. It looks good layered over everything! Have it over OPI Rally Pretty Pink today. Pinky bronze with a greenish foil reflect. Very autumnal.
US.
I like to go way brighter at the holidays, so I’m switching to an Illamasqua cream blush.
I like to wear shimmery smokey eyes during the holidays, like a green smokey eye with MAC Humid and MAC Club. For New Years, I like to wear a smokey eye with glitter liner, like UD Glam Rock.
I’m from the US….I love a bright red lip for the holidays! I love love LOVE MUFE Aqua Cream in shade #8. I haven’t found any lipstick quite like it…very vibrant red with a red shimmery sheen, almost a metallic red. Stays put like a dream, perfect for holiday parties.
I’m in the u.s. and love a Chanel gold eyeshadow which was the holiday set a few years back–just on the brow, but beautiful, low sparkle, great color.
I’m from the US – I am loving the Guerlain Parure de Nuit Powder and Blush for Holiday!!!
I live in the US and I love Nars Funny Face lipstick and Laura Mercier stardust powder to add sparkle and a fun bright lip
USA! I love wearing Dior eyeshadow in Iridescent leather~
Hi. I’m in the US and my favorite holiday makeup item is GLITTER nail polish! I love golds like Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me over China Glaze Medallion. Sparkly and festive!
USA! I’m looking forward to using my Urban Decay 15 year Anniversary Palette. I bought it over the summer and have been waiting for a special occasion to take the plastic off! Definitely going to use Evidence, Omen and somehow incorporate Junkshow with a tiny bit of sparkle to top. Nothing says a party more than a little glitter!
I’ve been really loving wearing a holographic glitter I got from TKB Trading as liner over UDPP and MAC Copperplate. It’s cool and warm and glittery all at once, while still being dark enough to look smokey but not so dark as to look raccoonish. I’m in the US.
USA
I like to wear bareMinerals all over face color in true, it has tons of gold shimmer.
USA! I love Bobbi Brown’s Modern Classic palette from 2010!
(From the U.S.) I like to wear gold eye shadows for the holiday. Nars Etrusque is one of my favorite gold eye shadows.
I’m from Canada and I love using Dior’s Five Golds quint eyeshadow for the holidays for a beautiful smokey golden eye!
I think parties deserve a little sparkle so I like to use gold shadow to line underneath the eyes. My preference is Honey from the UD deluxe palette.
Sorry, forgot to mention I’m in the US.
Canada
I normally wear cool toned purple eye shadows but for the holiday season’s warm browns and golds are a must. I’m loving Lancome’s blondette fatale quad, it’s all browns but they are not too warm or too cool. It looks just right on my neutral complexion
I’m from South Korea, but i live in the US. For the holidays, i love having glowing skin! So i use dior’s amber diamond highlighter to give me a glow!
