6 Holiday Makeup Looks for an Instant Winter Pick-Me-Up

This year’s holiday season will look unlike any other, but according to makeup extraordinaire Peter Philips, that’s no reason to skip indulging in a touch of glamour above-the-neck. “I don’t think people should let go of makeup,” the creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup declares on a recent afternoon in Paris, as models Amrit, Assa Baradji, and Jade Rabarivelo—their complexions adorned with a light-catching glimmer or a sweep of jewel-toned pigment—shine brightly on the set nearby. Rather, he continues, “it’s more about subtle beauty.”

With light-as-air foundations, shimmering glosses, and quietly chic palettes spread before him, Philips has just dreamt up a handful of holiday makeup looks for our new socially-distanced era. Gone are the perfectly drawn pouts, the out-to-there eyeliner etchings, the faces seemingly dipped in glitter. Here, instead, is beauty for beauty’s sake: there’s rich, glowing skin; luscious lips; and lids layered with mesmerizing shades of shadows—all topped off with a bit of whimsy, of course. (It is still the merrymaking season, after all.) “Makeup is one of the little pleasures in life,” Philips muses with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye—and who are we to refuse some joy? 

Below, six holiday makeup looks for an instant winter pick-me-up.
