Recently we’ve officially entered Party Season. This time of the year not only brings cold, snow, and Santa Claus, but it also brings family dinners, company parties, and gatherings with friends. Wherever you’re heading to this December, your makeup needs to be on point, right? From shimmery lids to vampy lips, we’ve found a holiday makeup look for you.
Get inspired and learn how to achieve some of these 25 gorgeous looks. They will definitely get you in the Christmassy mood. Enjoy!
1. Purple Smokey Eye with a Pop of Glitter
This purple smokey eye with a pop of shimmering glitter is the ideal look for any festive occasion. Shades of brown and purple look flattering on just about everyone, so make sure to give this look a try!
December is the perfect time to pop a little bit of glitter onto your eyes, right? Not only will it brighten up your whole face, but also make your eyes pop. As you can see, you don’t have to go crazy with it – less is more in this case.
2. Golden Smokey Eye and Red Lips
Nothing says “holiday makeup” quite like golden smokey eye and red lips. The look is perfect for a last minute holiday event.
Step 1: Start by applying an eyeshadow primer or concealer and let it dry.
Step 2: Next apply a neutral base eyeshadow all over your eyelid (this step will make the blending easier). Dip the tip of your favorite blending brush into a dark chocolate, matte eyeshadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eye in a “V” shape. Blend!
Step 3: Using a tapping motion, apply a dark gold eyeshadow (ABH;Amber) on your eyelid. Top it with a baked gold eyeshadow (ABH;Peach Sorbet).
Step 4: Highlight the inner corner of the eye with a shimmery champagne shade. Smoke out the lower lash line using the chocolate shade from the step #2.
Step 5: Complete the look with a black liner, false lashes and red matte lipstick.
3. Grey Smokey Eye with Glitter Liner
Step 1: Prime your eyelids with an eye primer or concealer. Trick for a smooth bottom edge: Take a piece of Scotch tape, press it to your hand a few times to make it less sticky and place it as pictured. Apply a transition color (a peachy/orange shade) to the crease. With a black matte shade, smoke out the top lash line.
Step 2: Apply a dark grey eyeshadow all over your eyelid.
Step 3: Blend with a clean blending brush until there are no harsh lines.
Step 4: Apply a gel liner along the upper lash line.
Step 5: Next apply a silver glitter liner above the black gel liner.

If you follow fashion and beauty news, you know the 1990s are back, and so are the bantu knots. The style was a popular 90s look that can be worn on any hair length and any hair type. Whether your hair is natural or relaxed, you can rock this style in two ways – as is or unraveled into bouncy, full curls (bantu knot out).
25 Bantu Knot Styles
Bantu knots are styled by separating hair into sections, then twisting those individual sections into tiny knots. You can section and twist your hair into small bantu knots for a super curly afro, or opt for the big knots for a huge, fluffy hair.
The best part? Bantu knots are a great protective style since they keep the ends tucked away. In case you need more reasons to try this style – it is super easy to do and costs very little or nothing at all. Here are 25 gorgeous looks that will make you mad for bantu knots. Enjoy!
1. Bantu Knots On Natural Hair
Here is a stunning protective look for all natural-haired ladies. The style will add an instant dose of chic to your everyday look. Make sure to give it a go!
2. Perfect Festival Style
Heading to a music festival? Festivals and concerts are a great time to ditch your go-to looks and experiment with new styles. Bantu knots will make you stand out, especially if you complete the look with a bold and colorful makeup.
3. Braided Bantu Knots
Try something totally new and turn your braids into medium-sized bantu knots! Elevate your look with hair accessories like sparkly gold chains or cute headbands. Life is too short for boring hair, right?
4. Large Bantu Knots Using Marley Hair
To achieve this look, you need to twist the hair loosely. Use pins to secure the knots and keep them lasting longer. Get creative and put your own twist on this style – make the knots bigger or smaller, twist them, braid them, or add a pop of color… possibilities are endless.
5. Half Up, Half Down Style
Not all women love headbands – they can be too big and colorful or they can damage your hair and cause a headache. The next time you’re craving a headband style, simply section your hair from ear to ear and create 4-5 bantu knots. The knots will keep your hair out of your face in a stylish way.
6. Sisterlocks into Bantu Knots
Sisterlocks can be super fun to style, too. If you’re looking for a cute way to keep your sisterlocks away from your face, or just want to change your look, try bantu knots. They can make you feel like a new woman!
7. Adorned Bantu Knots
Give your bantu knots a glamorous touch with gold hair cuffs – hair jewelry that can completely transform your look. They will give your knots that extra boost they need.

9. Glam Bantu Knots
If you’re heading to a formal event, this is the perfect hairstyle to show everyone that you’re bold, different and ready to have some fun. With the right outfit and accessories, bantu knots can be suitable for any special occasion.

Who said bantu knots are only for long-haired women? Short hair shouldn’t be a reason not to style your hair and experiment with knots and braids, even if they are micro size.
