Red Lips! Frosted Eyes! Classic Hollywood Glamour! These 5 Celebrity Makeup Styles Are Featured on My Holiday Mood Board.

      Ash K Holm serves as an editor in residence at Who What Wear, is a celebrity makeup artist and educator, and co-founded the luxury medspa Dripology. The holiday season is now in full swing, which means it’s time to update your makeup looks to complement each outfit and event. As a celebrity makeup artist, I'm experienced in crafting chic and festive styles for my high-profile clients, including Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Alix Earle, and Lindsay Lohan, among others. This year, I revisited my portfolio and extracted five of my all-time favorite holiday makeup trends that are perfect for party hopping and late-night outings. From shimmery eyes to bold liner and red lips, these enduring styles will carry you into 2026. Think of this as my gift to you.

      **Alix Earle's Frosted Glam**

      This look draws inspiration from the early 2000s Victoria's Secret runway shows, characterized by shimmery eyes and radiant skin. When creating a metallic eye look, I prefer to use a gold, bronze, or silver liner on the waterline to enhance the eyes and make them stand out.

      **Ryan Destiny's Modern Smoky Eye**

      Ryan Destiny's look fuses two of my favorites: a smoky eye and winged liner. A trick for achieving a flawless wing using shadow is to use an under-eye patch as a guide. Once removed, it leaves a sharp, clean line without any need for touch-ups.

      **Khloé Kardashian's Classic Red Lip**

      I'm fully on board with a red lip during the holiday season, especially when combined with a soft eyeliner flick and radiant skin, as I did with Khloé Kardashian. To ensure your red lip lasts through New Year’s Eve, dab any leftover concealer or foundation from your brush onto your lips first. Then, using a small, fluffy brush, apply loose powder on top. Filling in the lips with a long-wear liner before lipstick application boosts longevity.

      Dior

      Rouge Dior Refillable Lipstick in 999 The Iconic Red

      **Kim Kardashian's Statement Winged Liner**

      A bold winged-liner coupled with statement lashes is always a win for the holidays (or any time). This signature look emphasizes the eyes. When I want a precise, dark line, I opt for liquid liner.

      **Lindsay Lohan's Old Hollywood Glam**

      If a bright red lip isn’t your style, try something a bit darker, like the merlot tone I applied on Lohan. This look, paired with a subtle smoky eye, rosy cheeks, and soft-matte skin, evokes Old Hollywood in the best way. My tip? After dipping your brush in loose powder, press it into the palm of your hand before applying it to your skin. This technique gives a soft-matte finish without leaving excess powder.
