MAKEUP LOOKS FOR
EVERY OCCASION

October 25, 2024 by Cat Quinn

From festive Christmas eye shadow looks to flashy makeup looks for New Year’s Eve, this season is all about embracing a maximalist makeup aesthetic. “This holiday is for glam lovers,” says Chantel Miller, M·A·C Director of Artistry and Content. “We’re taking inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood and the 70s Studio 54 era and making it modern for today. It’s definitely a dress-to-impress moment.”

That means dialing classic holiday makeup looks up to full volume with bold metallic shades, exciting textures and finishes, and a more-is-more mentality. Whether you need a soft glam Christmas makeup look or a bold disco eye moment that will last past midnight, you’ll find plenty of holiday makeup inspiration below.
