I Tried a Complete Dior Holiday Makeup Look—Here Are the Products I Suggest Purchasing Before They Run Out.

      I might be a bit partial, given my job role, but I genuinely believe that holiday makeup collections are the ultimate gems. There’s something truly special about a limited-edition formula or shade wrapped in frosty, festive packaging that brings me joy—so much so that I often keep these exclusive palettes, lipsticks, and tubes long after the product has run out. And then there's Dior. The brand has already created some of my all-time favorite beauty essentials (like Rouge Dior in 999, Diorshow Mascara, and, of course, the beloved Lip Glow Oil), but their holiday collections always feel enchanting. This year’s selection is no exception.

      Inspired by circus arts, the collection focuses on mesmerizing shimmer—from embossed lipsticks to silky eyeshadow palettes to pearlescent nail lacquers—without veering into overly theatrical territory. This is Dior, after all, so you can expect only the most refined products. Think of the shimmering radiance of a luxurious velvet chaise or sparkling champagne flutes resting on a silver tray, delicate hints of shimmer that feel elegant, sophisticated, and distinctly Dior. I’ve been wearing the collection for weeks (testing it out ahead of the holiday party season), and it’s just as stunning as it appears on-screen. That said, I find myself drawn to a few standout items that absolutely belong in your makeup collection, and I strongly urge you to grab them while you still can—some items have already sold out! Keep scrolling for more details.

      1. Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Fiery Circus

      The standout product for me is this copper-toned eyeshadow palette. Encased in a limited-edition golden compact, the five-pan palette has everything needed for a quick holiday eye look. I usually opt for minimal eye shadow (typically none at all), but Dior has inspired me to experiment. Using the sponge applicator, I first applied a layer of the light, pearly shade on my entire lid, then added a hint of the mauve shadow to the outer corners. After a quick blend, I traced my upper and lower lash lines with the rusty shadow to make my blue-green eyes really pop. I added a bit of gold shadow to help all the colors blend, finishing with more of that pearly shade on my inner corners. Absolutely stunning.

      2. Limited Edition Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Powder Blush in 830 Fiery Red

      A pleasant surprise! Initially, I dismissed the shade Fiery Red, worried it might be too bold for my fair skin, but the buildable, pH-activating formula ensures the vibrant color looks as natural as possible. Just a light application on my cheeks is enough for a fresh, windswept glow. I use a large, fluffy brush to sweep the powder towards my temples, dusting any excess on my nose for that classic "I’m cold" look.

      3. Limited Edition Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Powder Blush in 810 Starry Pink

      This Barbie pink can certainly be used as a sole blush, but I personally love it as a highlighter. The cool-toned, pearly pigment catches the light beautifully while adding a hint of color. It’s a win-win. Using my fingertip, I apply it to my cheekbones and on the tip of my nose.

      4. Rouge Dior Velvet Lipstick in 629 Parade

      The collection features three limited-edition Rouge Dior Lipsticks, but this rosy matte shade pairs perfectly with the coppery eyeshadow palette mentioned above. Despite the velvety texture, it never makes my lips feel dry or cakey. An added bonus? The bullet is engraved with stars. It's almost too pretty to use, but the rich color is tempting me to include it in my everyday lip routine.

      5. Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Lipstick in Spectacular Icone

      An MVP in the holiday collection, the Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Lipstick comes in 10 equally gorgeous shades—but I’m particularly fond of this rusty rose to complement the earlier eye look. The liquid formula has a hint of glitter that gives my lips an irresistibly juicy appearance, especially when paired with the shiny clear gloss on the product's other end. While the Velvet Lipstick is a go-to for me, I’ve been enjoying this liquid pigment to elevate my glam from day to night. Its longevity is quite impressive as well, ensuring that it lasts throughout any holiday event.
