As the holiday season kicks in with festive gatherings and cozy moments, it's the perfect excuse to elevate your makeup game. From high-gloss lips to a twist on classic red, this year’s trends balance chic simplicity with subtle glam. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a lively party, these looks will have you glowing and feeling confident.
This year’s makeup is all about effortless elegance, with luminous skin and strategic pops of color.Â
No matter your style, hydrated, well-prepped skin will make each look last longer and look its best. Start with a nourishing primer like RMS "Re" Evolve Radiance Locking Primer or Hynt Beauty’s Day Prep to create a smooth canvas. For eyelids, Lily Lolo’s Eyelid Primer keeps powder shadows in place, while Epic Blend’s Lip Scrub preps lips for that smooth, flawless finish.
We love the look of bare, natural skin, but if you’re after a bit more coverage, try Lily Lolo’s BB Cream, to smooth and blur for your skin but better. You can top that with a touch of concealer, try Kosas Revealer Concealer or Hynt Beauty Duet Perfecting Concealer, both have a wonderful consistency that is creamy yet they set without the need for a powder on top. For a fuller coverage that lasts all day, Jen, our founder, swears by Sappho’s Essential Foundation, a staple for its medium coverage, lightweight feel and flawless skin-like finish.
Now, let’s dive into the looks you’ll want to try this holiday season. Here’s our lineup of 2024’s top holiday makeup trends, featuring Wonderblush alongside a few favorites from RMS, TOK, Lily Lolo, and Kosas to create each look.

Â
Monochromatic Shimmer
The monochromatic look is all about cohesion, and it’s ideal for creating a chic, unified glow. Match your eyes, cheeks, and lips in the same color family, choosing shades like warm bronzes, mauves, or soft pinks. The touch of shimmer on the lids adds a festive sparkle.
To recreate Wonderblush's monochromatic look above apply La Lumière Liquid Eyeshadow in Rose Doré from lashline to just above the crease.  For cheeks Le Fard Blush in Pivoine and La Laque Tinted Lip Oil in Géranium for a rosey, wearable holiday look that suits all skin tones.

Glossy Glam
Dewy, radiant skin with a touch of high-gloss lips is the ultimate holiday look for 2024. Start by prepping your skin with one of Ember’s Sculpt & Glow Bars for added hydration and radiance. This base can be worn alone for a natural glow or under foundation for an extra dewy finish.
For lips, try a tinted lip blam for long lasting shine and colour payoff along with lip benefits compared to a standard gloss. We love Kosas Wet Stick, packed with squalane + ceramides, in Tropic Bliss or Bikini Blaze. Wonderblush makes a dreamy tinted lip balm 'Le Baume' with mango seed butter + jojoba oil. For a festive look try shades Aurore or Bonbon.
Keep eye makeup minimal, you can't go wrong with any shade of Lily Lolo's Pressed Eye Shadow, and let your glowing skin and glistening lips steal the show.

Classic Red Lip with a Twist
The red lip is timeless, but this season, we're mixing it up with velvet and satin matte finishes and playing with cranberry and plum undertones, perfect for a bit of drama without overwhelming the face. Kosas Weightless Lip Color, in shades like Deep Talks (neutral brick red), or Darkroom (a powerful red plum), provides that chic, velvety look that wears comfortably all night.Â
Recreate Wonderblush's look above with their Le Rouge Lipstick in Grenadine a red rose buildable lipstick that offers full hydration and full coverage, full time. Finish off the holiday look with a light sweep of Le Fard Blush in Framboise and Le Regard Eye & Brow Trio. Apply the lightest shade all over eyelid, then add depth with the medium shade in the crease.
From all of us at The Truth Beauty Company, we wish you a joyful, glamorous holiday season! Let your makeup shine as brightly as your holiday spirit.
