Christmas is just around the corner and have you thought about the makeup or outfit you want to wear this Christmas? This is the season to be jolly! It also is the season to be creative with festive makeup looks!

There is a whole lot of magic that surrounds the holiday season. If you don't have a lot to pull from other than the typical winged liner, glittery eyeshadow, and red lipstick, this blog has you covered. The Christmas look of talented muas, who has a knack for creating eye makeup that dazzles will give you life and bring you the Xmas makeup trend.

Here are some Christmas-inspired makeup looks from talented makeup artists and beauty bloggers. They all used TTDeye colored contacts as the final step to complete their stunning look. Check how they use the palette to give a whole look a holiday vibe.


Santa Inspired Makeup

Santa Claus is coming to town! When it comes to Christmas, he should be the first inspiration that comes to mind. If you are going to do red makeup for this holiday, choose Santa as the main character for your look. Every year, makeup artists scramble to complete their holiday looks by drawing some unexpected combinations on their faces inspired by Santa Claus. Let's take a look at these creative Santa-inspired makeup looks.

If you just want to draw some simple eye makeup to spend this holiday season, it is a very wise choice to draw a Christmas hat as @itszeezee did instead of putting some eyeshadow on your upper eyelid. Apply the red eye shadow on the lower eyelid to make the makeup more harmonious. Then accent the entire look with glitter and colored contacts, and you're sure to be the best at the party or on Instagram with minimal prep time! But there are bound to be people who will want to try a more unique makeup look. Then you too can be a Christmas elf like @agakle_makeup and @giorgiaalfieri_makeup. Don't forget to use red and green shadows to emphasize the festive vibes. Long eyelashes and highly-pigmented colored contacts also make the whole elf makeup become dynamic.

You can also cosplay some classic characters with Christmas suits .@olkaaklo dressed as the Christmas version of Harley Quinn which is very impressive. You can also do a classic Santa costume as @sapphireivesfx did, or some spooky Santa like @sugeygonzalez_mua did.

Gingerbread Man Makeup

All you have to muster up is a steady hand and you can be rocking an adorable gingerbread man. Gingerbread dudes are actually surprisingly easy to draw. If you're doubting yourself, just draw a few practice gingerbreads on a piece of paper before you go in on your face to make sure you have the hang of it!

@serinamakeup drew a cute gingerbread man on top of her candy eyeliner and her brown contacts matched the color of the gingerbread man perfectly. Although @sapphireivesfx didn't draw the gingerbread man, she completed this perfect-blended eye makeup with the main shade and elements of the gingerbread man. If you are wanting something really professional and perfect, then you can also try to turn yourself into a gingerbread man, just like @makeitjess did.

Christmas Decorations Inspired Makeup

Have you finished your Christmas shopping this year? Do you feel a little overwhelmed when you see the wide array of Christmas decorations in the mall? When you don't know how to decorate your house this year, how about using these decorations as inspiration for your Christmas look? Here are some ideas from our makeup artist. Pick one for your holiday makeup wish list.

Candy cane eyeliner is such a cute touch for your Christmas eyeshadow look!  @maryana.lit tried three kinds of candy cane eye looks. Two of them are candy cane liners and the other one is painted with Christmas gloves on top of the cut crease. @serinamakeup also does a cute candy liner with some glitters. Obviously, red and green are the main colors for this makeup idea. Just make sure you slant the candy cane stripes in the opposite direction of the wing!

@carolina_sstyle and @style_martina drew the candy on their checks, which is also a popular idea. @graziana.marinomua's look combines gingerbread men and candy cane, which is also worth a try. You can also hang on some jingle bells on your checks, just like @gyselle_gamez did, to make you look like a doll.

Christmas Lights Makeup

During the joyful holiday, you may want to try out some lights design literally. The multi-colors are cute and the highlights are so pretty. Bring the color and dazzle of the fairy lights to your face with these lit fairy light looks!

@annamakeup_artist is so talented. She used colored lights to paint three different looks and each one has got a lot of likes on Instagram, which blends perfectly with her eye makeup. If you want to have light makeup this Christmas, her three looks will give you some inspiration. Of course, you can also extend the lights to your neck and shoulders like @mariapoool, but you’ll need a longer time to prepare the look!

Want to rock some Christmas lights on your face, but maybe not your whole face? Then just draw some laced around your eyebrows! That’s what @serinamakeup did. With the purple eyeshadow on the lower eyelid, this look got a more mysterious vibe rather than a festival vibe.

These looks are fun and easy to create, you don't need to be a pro at makeup to recreate it. It’s also easy to customize and you can change the color of the lights to suit your liking, after all, fairy lights can be any color!

Festival Colors Makeup

Simple, yet elegant. Add some class to your makeup look this Christmas with green and red shades. To tone it all in, match your lips to your red eyes! Look how our makeup artists apply these two colors to their gorgeous Christmas looks.

@1.063 created this look showcasing the core Christmas colors with a dramatic flair! This cut crease combined with the white liners just makes the whole eye look both holiday vibe and not too much for a party look. You can also try the green shades of eye shadow and draw some white liner and put some small star stickers on it.  The looks of @galych.valeriia and @ssoing_bbjj will give you a reference.

@valeriaaaenriquez’s look is so eye-catching with bright vibrant colors. The makeup has three color powders red, green, and white across her face. This ribbon makes her the most beautiful gift of Christmas. The Makeup has stunning colors and the red lips stand out and her brows are well done. @beemokat use of red and pink gives her eye look a Christmas vibe. While @serinamakeup tries the shades of Christmas tree on her eyes and the gold-brown lining has a nice shimmer that makes the whole look interesting.

Cute Rudolph Look

One of the more fun, harder-to-mess-up makeup looks is Rudolph look. The eyes may take a bit of time but you can customize the look to suit your needs and makeup level.

@xstxefx created the cute Rudolph with so pop shades. The liner and the contacts really make her a real deer. Candy eyebrows are the finishing touch which is so creative. If you are looking for some easy and simple Rudolph looks, @van.castle's deer look with a Santa hat can be your choice. Just use red as the main shade and remember to highlight the nose, the Rudolph symbol, with a red blush or eye shadow. @makeup_by_kc_'s Rudolph look is a hard one to try but it is the most deer-like makeup. She blended the entire makeup perfectly. The white dots make her more similar to Rudolph. If you want something bold, this Rudolph look will make everyone stop you in their tracks. Plus, it will make them smile from ear to ear. And, again, draw some red on your nose!

You'll be the cutest reindeer ready to lead Santa's sleigh in this Xmas lewk! Don't get a pair of contacts to help you to have cute deer eyes.
