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

      I might be a bit biased due to my profession, but I truly believe that holiday makeup collections are the ultimate gems. There's something special about a limited-edition shade or formula encased in icy, festive packaging that truly captivates me—I often find myself keeping these exclusive palettes, lipsticks, and tubes long after the product has been used up. And then there's Dior. The brand has already given me some of my all-time favorite beauty essentials (like the Rouge Dior in 999, the Diorshow Mascara, and the beloved Lip Glow Oil), but their holiday collections are consistently enchanting. This year's offering is no exception.

      Inspired by the arts of the circus, the collection emphasizes dazzling shimmer—from beautifully embossed lipsticks to silky eyeshadow palettes to luminous nail polishes—in a manner that, while themed, doesn't stray into the realm of theatrical makeup. This is Dior after all, so you can anticipate only the finest selections. Picture the reflecting sheen of a luxurious velvet chair or sparkling champagne flutes gathered on a silver tray, the subtle shimmer feels elegant, sophisticated, and quintessentially Dior. I’ve been using the collection for weeks (you know, trying it out before the holiday party season), and it's just as exquisite as it appears in pictures. Still, a few standout products are calling for a spot in your makeup collection, and I highly suggest purchasing them while they’re still available. A couple of bestsellers are already sold out! Scroll down for more details.

      1. Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Fiery Circus

      The standout product, in my opinion, is this coppery eyeshadow palette. Packaged in a limited-edition gold compact, this five-pan palette contains everything needed for a quick holiday eye look. I typically keep my eyeshadow minimal (often not using any at all), but with Dior, I’m inspired to experiment. Using the sponge applicator, I first applied a layer of the light, pearly shade all over my lid, followed by a bit of the mauve shadow on the outer corners. After blending, I traced the upper and lower lash lines with the rust-colored shadow to enhance my blue-green eyes. I added some gold shadow to blend the colors and finished with more of the pearly shade in the inner corners. Absolutely stunning.

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

      A pleasant surprise! At first, I dismissed the shade Fiery Red out of concern that it might be too intense for my fair skin, but the buildable, pH-activating formula ensures the vibrant color appears as natural as possible. A light application on my cheeks gives me a healthy, wind-kissed glow. I use a large, fluffy brush to blend the powder towards my temples, adding the leftover product on the bridge of my nose for that classic "I’m cold" look.

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

      You could definitely use this Barbie pink as your primary blush, but I particularly enjoy it as a highlighter. The cool-toned, pearly pigment catches the light beautifully while adding an extra touch of color. It's a win-win. With my fingertip, I dab it onto my cheekbones and the tip of my nose.

      4. Rouge Dior Velvet Lipstick in 629 Parade

      The collection features three limited-edition Rouge Dior Lipsticks, and this rosy matte shade complements the coppery eyeshadow palette perfectly. Even with its velvety finish, it doesn't leave my lips feeling dry or cakey. An added perk? The bullet is engraved with stars, making it almost too gorgeous to use, but the rich pigment is calling to be a part of my daily lip routine.

      5. Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo Lipstick in Spectacular Icone

      This product is a highlight of the holiday collection, available in ten equally stunning shades—though I'm particularly fond of this rusty rose to match the eye look mentioned above. The liquid formula features a hint of glitter that makes my lips appear irresistibly plump, especially when paired with the high-shine clear gloss on the opposite end of the product. While the Velvet Lipstick is a staple, I’ve been loving this liquid pigment to elevate my look from day to night. Its staying power is quite impressive too, ensuring it remains intact during any holiday party.
