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

      I might be slightly biased due to my job title, but I truly believe that holiday makeup collections are the most delightful treasures. There's something special about a limited-edition formula or color encased in frosty, festive packaging that fills me with joy—so much so that I often save these exclusive palettes, bullets, and tubes long after the product has run out. And then there's Dior. This brand already offers some of my all-time favorite beauty staples (like the Rouge Dior in 999, Diorshow Mascara, and the beloved Lip Glow Oil), but its holiday collections are consistently enchanting. This year's collection is no exception.

      Inspired by circus arts, the assortment focuses on mesmerizing shimmer—from embossed lipsticks to luxurious eye shadow palettes to pearlescent nail polishes—in a way that, even with its theme, doesn’t veer too far into theatrical makeup. We're talking about Dior, after all, meaning you can anticipate only the most refined selections. Imagine the light-reflecting glow from an opulent velvet chaise or sparkling champagne flutes arranged on a silver tray, hints of shimmer that exude chicness, sophistication, and unmistakable Dior flair. I've been testing the collection for weeks (you know, to prepare before the holiday party season), and it’s just as fabulous as it appears on-screen. That said, I keep reaching for a few standout products that should have a place in your makeup bag, and I strongly suggest picking them up before they're gone. A couple of the favorites have already sold out! Keep scrolling for more info and good luck.

      1. Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Fiery Circus

      The standout product, in my opinion, is this copper eye shadow palette. Packaged in a limited-edition golden compact, the five-pan palette includes everything you need for a quick holiday eye look. Typically, I prefer minimal eye shadow (often not using any at all), but Dior has inspired me to be adventurous. Using the sponge applicator, I began with a layer of the light, pearly shade across my entire lid, then blended a touch of the mauve shadow into the outer corners. After a quick blend, I traced my upper and lower lash lines with the rust-colored shadow to really make my blue-green eyes stand out. I applied a bit of gold shadow to blend the colors and finished with more of that pearly hue in my inner corners. Simply stunning.

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

      A surprising favorite! At first, I dismissed the Fiery Red shade, worried it might be too bold for my fair skin, but the buildable, pH-activating formula ensures the vivid pigment appears as natural as possible. Just a hint on my cheeks gives me a bright, wind-swept glow. I use a large, fluffy brush to sweep the powder toward my temples, using any excess on the bridge of my nose for that perfect "I'm cold" effect.

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

      You could absolutely wear this Barbie pink as your main blush, but I particularly love it as a highlighter. The cool-toned, pearly pigment beautifully catches the light while providing an extra pop of color. It’s a win-win. I use my fingertip to apply it on my cheekbones and the tip of my nose.

      4. Rouge Dior Velvet Lipstick in 629 Parade

      This collection features three limited-edition Rouge Dior Lipsticks, but this rosy matte shade pairs beautifully with the coppery eye shadow palette I mentioned earlier. Even with its velvet finish, it never leaves my lips feeling dry or cakey. Plus, the bullet is engraved with stars, making it almost too pretty to use, but the rich pigment is calling out to be part of my everyday lip routine.

      5. Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Lipstick in Spectacular Icone

      An essential product in the holiday collection, the Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Lipstick comes in 10 equally captivating shades—though I lean towards this rusty rose to complement the eye look mentioned before. The liquid formula features a hint of glitter that makes my lips appear irresistibly plush, especially when paired with the high-shine clear gloss on the other end of the product. While the Velvet Lipstick is a staple, I enjoy this liquid pigment to elevate my glam from day to night. Its longevity is impressive too, ensuring it stays put throughout any holiday gathering.
