@nnennaechemIf you've been on TikTok lately, then I'm sure you will have seen Hailey Bieber's video creating a "sugar plum fairy" makeup look. Since then, I've been seeing this pretty, super-wearable look everywhere, and it's perfect for the festive season.

@emmanuellek_All you need to re-create this makeup is a pink, shimmery blusher, a matching eye shadow and a high-shine lip gloss. Simply apply the blusher to the cheeks and the bridge of the nose, then swipe on some eye shadow and lipgloss and you're good to go.
This long-lasting cream eye shadow features a rose-gold sparkle that will give the most beautiful finish.
I like to opt for a cream blush to give me that healthy glow, and this rosy shade from Sculpted by Aimee is going straight on my Christmas list.

@haileybieberNext up, you can't go wrong with a red lip, and this year it's all about a super-glossy finish. The great thing about this makeup trend is that you can keep the rest of your look super minimal and let the lips do all the talking.

@hoskelsaFor a defined look, I recommend taking a slightly darker lip liner to outline the lips before you go in with a lighter gloss.
How stunning is this red shade from Hourglass? The hydrating formula and high-shine finish tick all the boxes for me.

@selenagomezIcy makeup is trending at the moment, but if you don't fancy doing the full look, then frosted eye shadow is the easiest and quickest way to incorporate the trend into your look. Opt for icy blue and grey shades for a wintry finish.

@rosiehwAdding winged liner and natural-looking false lashes will help to make your eye shadow stand out even more.
This crystal-infused eyeshadow will give you that frosted look in seconds.
If you prefer subtler lashes, you need to know about these. The wispy lashes sit under the lash line (rather than on top, as with traditional strip lashes) to add natural-looking volume.

@jourdandunnThis year has been all about a radiant, glowing complexion, and Christmas is no exception. If you like to keep your eyes and lips simple, then this is the perfect trend for you, as it's all focused on your base.

@lauraharrierTo get really glowy skin, I recommend using a hydrating, luminous primer before going in with foundation or tinted moisturiser, then a cream highlighter. My top tip? Finish everything off with a shimmering setting spray.
I love using these drops from Drunk Elephant before applying my makeup to illuminate my skin. You can even mix them in with your moisturiser to make application quick and easy.
Once my makeup is finished, I spritz my face with this product from Iconic London to give my complexion an extra-radiant finish.

@tylynnnguyenLast but by no means least, say hello to "no-makeup makeup". This look is great if you like to keep things casual at Christmas. Whether you want to go totally makeup-free or apply a little bit of tinted moisturiser and lip balm for a soft glow, you can tailor this trend to suit you.

@sofiarichiegraingeSofia Richie Grainge is so good at doing a full face of natural-looking makeup, and I love this more pared-back look.
This tinted serum from Rose Inc is perfect for those days when you don't want to wear foundation but you'd still like to give your skin a boost.
Multi-use makeup sticks are ideal for minimal makeup days. This one from ILIA can be used on the cheeks and lips for a wash of colour.
