2024 Holiday Beauty Trends: Red, Metallic and Glow All reviews are by real people - here, we do not entertain bots or fakes, just raw-and-real user experiences, for more conscious beauty buying!
The holiday season, aka the 'going ALL OUT season,' is upon us, and if you're anything like us, you're already planning your festive outfits and makeup for all those upcoming gatherings. While last year was all about gold and warm hues, 2024 is bringing a fresh new twist. Say goodbye to gold; this time, it's all about metallics and understated, glowy looks. We're totally here for it!
Paint the town red this holiday season with a colour of the season of bold lipstick. Whether you're going for a classic matte or a glossy pop, red lips are the ultimate accessory. Elevate your festive glam and make a statement that's as timeless as it is daring.
I have tried out so many lipsticks that claim that they are long lasting but this is the only one that l’ve found that lasts through the evening, and with food and drink. It’s become my go to for a red lip and the colours are absolutely gorgeous.
I haven't used lipsticks in this consistency for a long time. The lipstick is creamy and fairly soft, smooth to use. The shape is also very well preserved after use. Since one side is higher and the other is lower, it helps to create a nice lip contour and thus avoid using a pencil. So it's great! The brown color is an autumn trend that never stops and is always on top! Highly recommended! #AutumnEssentials
The pigment on these lipsticks is honestly, insane .It goes on creamy, sets matte, and feels completely weightless, non-drying and very comfortable to wear. Not only does it feel good on your lips and last all day, but the new packaging is also super slick, streamlined, and comes in such a range of colours, you'll be spoilt for choice.
I spent a long time researching many different red lipsticks. I was very particular in my searches, I wanted a red lipstick which was non-transfer, a ruby red kind of matte shade, and which didn’t make my lips go dry. I found all three of those qualities in this lipstick. It barely budges when eating and drinking which is amazing. It didn’t go all dry and flaky, it fades evenly so it doesn’t look silly with a big red line round the edge of your lips like some lipsticks do. And it feels so smooth you genuinely don’t know it’s even on. I purchased the shade ‘Dragon Girl’ and it was the perfect shade for me, it makes me feel so sexy and confident when wearing it, it really pops and makes my whole makeup look complete.
I love this lipstick it slides on like a normal lipstick and dries down matte. It lasts for a really long time and is perfect to wear out of you aren’t too keen on the lip kits this is the next step to chose as it is the next best thing with a good range of colours.
This lipstick is so nice to use! Provides a beautiful neutral color and stays in place all day long. I'm a big fan of this lipstick. Been with it for a long time so the price is well worth it too! If you're still looking, definitely buying is my advice.
This is by far my favorite Gucci lipstick! It is a beautiful soft red lipstick that applies smoothly and provides a nice everyday look. It's nurturing and I love the scent that Gucci lipsticks have! These lipsticks come at a price, but it's soooo worth it!
Gucci never disappoints me! Not only does this lipstick have a beautiful color, the packaging is also really cute! The whole experience around it is just great! I also think the lipstick feels very heavy for a lipstick, which also shows me that this is a good quality lipstick. I love the color anyway. Also, the color lasts a long time, even after I had lunch, I didn't have to update it! In the picture above, I'm wearing the product without a lip liner, but I think this lipstick can also be combined very nicely with a lip liner! At least I'm in love with it 😍
This lipstick has a very nice shade of pink red. I think this lipstick is perfect for a natural makeup look. This lipstick lasts a long time and has no strange bad smell. I think this lipstick is really worth the price it is and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is still looking for a good lipstick. I myself use the lipstick with a charlotte tilbury Lipliner and this combination is really perfect.
Super fine lipstick with a nice neutral color. At first glance, it looks bright but when you put it on, it's really soft in color. It keeps my lips nice and soft and can go anywhere! And the packaging is sooooo cool and very stylish. All in all, I'm super happy with it!
This is a soft lip tint that is designed to last. It feels light on my lips and is matte, but it doesn’t leave my lips feeling dry. This shade is delicate and natural looking on my lips, but the colour is buildable for a more dramatic look. It doesn’t transfer and stays put for several hours even when I’ve been eating and drinking. The applicator is very easy to use and allows for a very accurate and precise application. I’ve also tried in on my cheeks to add a soft blush.
This lipstick is really great, it stays in place very well. After a night out, he still sits up and I always have to take it off with makeup remover. But this does mean that my lipstick is in point all evening. This is definitely recommended!
I was skeptical at first when I applied this lipstick, it doesn’t dry down and looks shiny like a gloss. Little bit of transfer but not too bad. I have eaten 3 times and been drinking all day and only reapplied this once! Very very good formula but only use if you like a gloss look because it’s not matte. Best lipstick I have tried in ages!! I need more colours now! Don’t think the colour I’ve selected is the same one as I’ve used but the formula is amazing!
It’s the best combination of matte and glossy lipstick. It gets dry soon and gives you an amazing finish leaving a hint of perfect shine on your lips. I love how light it feels on my lips and does not make my lips feel dry. Don’t rub your lips after applying and let it dry for 2 min. One swipe is enough.
I bought it on sale to try it out and have to say it's a great product. It stays on for a long time, while the color just stays on your lips, it also dries well once you've applied it, it has an easy applicator and it's nice that it's available in multiple colors. I ate pizza with this lipstick on and it was still good after dinner
I absolutely adore the range of colours, love the ease of application. It lasts all day and smells fabulous too! I would highly recommend it to anyone. A trusted favourite. Another winner from MAC. I purchased in the black Friday sale as I find their products a bit out of my price range. That's a me problem though, I don't think they're overpriced.
Love this shade I have nearly all of them they are made so good for favorite brand for makeup so delicate made really good and strong I will
Always buy Mac makeup love these lipsticks the blue is a good shade I’ve never worn blue lipstick and it’s great my second favorite after this one :)
I think I’ve honestly bought this like 5 times and it lasts so so long. Genuinely the holy grail in my makeup kit - I don’t go anywhere without it
Unlike other lipsticks it doesn’t go dry and crumbly and actually feels hydrating. Full coverage too so one layer is enough to fill in over lined lips!
10/10 - will wear this at my funeral
There’s a reason this colour is iconic! I use with a nyx lip liner but macs ruby woo steals the show every time, this colour won’t budge if you set it with a bit of setting powder! I’ve eaten and drank plenty without having to touch this up on a night out, striking and non drying, my go to red always!
My favourite nude has got to be MAC kinda sexy. It is the perfect browny pinky shade for medium skin tones. I also use it will a lip liner like spice or cork. Perfect nude lip and can wear for day time or night. It does last a long time. It feels comfortable to wear.
Silver is stealing the spotlight in beauty, fashion, accessories, and more right now, thanks to the ongoing revival of Y2K trends. The futuristic, metallic shade is making a major comeback and these are the recommendations from our We Are Eves members.
Really a fantastic eye shadow. Most eyeshadow shades are powdery and fade quickly. I don't know how Kiko Milano does it but the pigments in the eyeshadow are beautiful, intense and non-standard. Super rich in color. I ordered the golden hue and it stays in place all day long and shines beautifully. It does not become dull like it is the case with many eye shadows.
I've now also tried out the 107 plum lip marker and I'm in love with it too. They are not standard shades. The quality and colors are high and last for a long time. How much better do you want it to be?
Very nice color that brings out the color in my eyes. The texture is very pleasant.
#bestmakeup2021very fine Eyeshadow, both dry and wet to use for extra pigment. Already own several colours and I love using them
Very nice shimer! Apply color finely
I have the kiko eyeshadow in white/gold. I use this one as a highlater for which it is perfect. There's some glitter in it but this isn't so much that your face is full of sparkles and is one of the strongest highlighters I've had so far. Very pigmented. Recommended!!
the ultimate multitaskers! These creamy, shimmery shades can be used as eyeliner, eyeshadow, or a base to make other shadows pop. Smooth application, easy blending, and that gorgeous glow we all love. Perfect for brightening the inner corner or adding a touch of shimmer to any look! ✨
I use this NYX Jumbo eye pen as a base to make my eyeshadow stand out even more. it's highly pigmented so you don't have to use much for the colour to show. It's also very blendable to, not much blending is needed.
This is very long wearing and doesn't crease or pile. It contains mineral oil and has a matte and powdery finish
The only thing to be aware of is because of how thick it is, you'll need a large sharpener to sharpen it. Yes it has a plastic coating but it's fine to sharpen it with a make-up sharpener.
#NovemberFaves
i adore the performance of this product and find that it really heightens your beauty!! i love the application and think it’s a great product for people who are less confident with makeup and learning how to do their makeup!! i cant recommend this enough
I have the jumbo eye pencil in the color 'milk'. This is a white color. I mainly use it in the corners of the eyes and under the eyelid for an expressive look. The pencil lasts a very long time and also gives off a lot of pigment. I would definitely buy it again when it runs out but it's far from it! I've been using it every day for 4 months now and have never had to sharpen it!
This pencil is really nice. It applies easily and spreads smoothly, I also often use it as a small dot in the corner of my eye as a highlighter so that my eyes light up a bit. I definitely recommend it. There is a dial at the bottom that allows you to slide the product up.
I am absolutely obsessed with drip drip!! I’m normally a gold girly! However I seen the rave about drip drip so I bought it and honestly I think I’ve been converted! This takes a Smokey eye to the next level!!!!! Can’t express how buzzing I am that I bought this product. Is buildable so can use it as a little sparkle or more intense like I did! Obsessed!!!
Amazing but I’ve tan out it’s great for not needing a primer and for that alone I love it it you can make it an every day look or you can make it a more dolled up look I can’t wait to buy more from Mitchell I highly recommend everything from made by Mitchell
This is the most versatile shimmer around - Highlighter, Eyeshadow, lip-gloss whatever you want it to be! I like to either use the brush it comes with, add some onto my hand and use it with a brush or my finger OR rub a brush against it's wand, You can dab and swipe to get any effect you're looking for. It's super pigmented and easy to use.
I tried this after seeing it all over tik tok, it works very well as a topper over eyeshadow to give a more shimmery gorgeous look! So far it's the only thing I've tried from this brand but I can definitely recommend it 😀 if u want a gorgeous eye look then I would definitely go for this!
There’s no question as to why this is one of Mitchell’s best selling products this is perfect for a soft glam or a dramatic glam look. Depending on how it’s used the pay off can be different. I recommend if using this to use a small fluffy blending brush to get that natural sparkly look, this stops it from becoming chunky and too much.
Glow up your holiday look with the perfect highlighter. Whether you're after a subtle radiance or a full-on glow, this little magic wand adds the finishing touch. Illuminate your features, catch the festive lights, and shine bright all night.
At first, I always had the douglas highlight in the color bright champagne, but since I got it, I've really fallen in love. In my opinion, the highlight is really nice and the glitter doesn't fade throughout the day. While I did have that with the douglas private label, it always looked a bit patchy-looking.
Firstly, the packaging is cute & very typical of the Benefit brand & secondly, price wise this is more of an expensive highlighter but I do believe you can purchase a mini size of it which I would recommend you purchase as the product lasts for ages. You do get a little mirror in it but I don’t find it much good & you also get a brush with it which I do actually use now & again. It’s a stunning peachy gold shade. It’s VERY pigmented so you need to go in with a light hand. It looks beautiful on the skin & lasts all day. If I do run out of this product I would definitely repurchase it & if you’ve not tried this product before I highly recommend you try it. Benefit is one of my favourite brands & this is probably my all time favourite highlighter. My holy grail!
Hi beauty lovers!
Today, I want to share my experience with an absolutely beautiful product I recently discovered: Benefit's WanderFul World Collection Crystah Blush Powder. I can tell you that this blush literally makes my cheeks glow!
First off, I have to say that the packaging of this blush is simply stunning. It comes in a cute box with a magical, sparkling look. Every time I open it, it feels like I'm discovering a little gem. It just looks so fancy!
But now let's talk about the blush itself. The WanderFul World Collection Crystah Blush Powder is an absolute showstopper. It has a silky texture that glides effortlessly across my cheeks. The pigment is amazing, so a small amount is enough to create a beautiful color. I love how well it builds so I can adjust the intensity to suit my preferences - from a subtle blush to an eye-catching blush.
What makes this blush really special is its unique shimmering finish. It has beautiful, light-reflecting particles that give my cheeks a healthy glow. I feel like a walking source of freshness and vitality! It really gives my face a youthful look and makes my skin glow.
Another advantage of the WanderFul World Collection Crystah Blush Powder is its long-lasting formula. Once I apply it, it stays in place all day without fading. Even after a long day, my blush still looks fresh and vibrant. No hassle with updating!
Finally, I would also like to emphasize that this blush is suitable for all skin tones. The WanderFul World Collection offers various shades that perfectly match a variety of skin tones. It doesn't matter if you have light or dark skin, there is sure to be a color that suits you and makes your cheeks glow!
All in all, I absolutely love Benefit's WanderFul World Collection Crystah Blush Powder. It adds a touch of magic to my makeup routine and makes my cheeks stand out in the best way possible. If you're looking for a blush that gives you a beautiful glow and makes your cheeks glow, I can absolutely recommend this blush!

I actually bought this blush quickly because I needed one and was pleasantly surprised. The benefit blush stays in place and is also well pigmented, easy to apply. I have the small version and how long you can do with it is incredible, but it's up to the
more expensive side but definitely worth it! #BotaniqLuxeBox
This is the most beautiful highlighter ever, you only need a little bit and you can already see the highlighter perfectly. It's such a lovely highlighter and so easy to work with. I would recommend this to everyone, it stays nice and tidy on your face, perfect. '
Wow! I love it!
I don't like very bling bling in your face shine, this one is beautiful, very natural. It has just right amount of shine. I feel like I have nothing on my face. It has also a lot in it, could use it for a whole year for sure.love the design too
I really like Gucci's illuminating highlighter! It has many uses; you can use it as a stand-alone product to glow your entire face (combined with your day cream, for example), you can apply it through your foundation (or your foundation over it), but it is also very nice to use as a highlighter!
I tried it first without foundation, I don't like wearing foundation. It gave my face a nice glow, but it remains subtle, a very nice look! In addition, I also tested it as a highlighter, which also gives a beautiful effect. It is easy to spread and the color is also very nice.
The product is easy to apply through the pipette and it also hydrates. I think the packaging looks really chic, that's also a plus! All in all, I definitely recommend this product and would buy it again myself.
The Gucci beauty illuminateur provides a beautiful glow to your face. I really love the look of the product!
You can use the illuminateur drops if you already have makeup on, but also without makeup. I don't wear makeup much in the summer, so I've often used it without foundation.
It has a golden tint. It's not too noticeable but it has a natural glow on my skin. He has no smell.
I am happy with the product.
For the effect it gives, I think it is a bit expensive, but I would recommend it.
A very nice product. Especially before the summer months.
I always wear less makeup in the summer because I already have color on my face. But I always like a nice glow.
I was very skeptical about using it because I use few liquid products except foundation and concealer.
But after testing this product, I am convinced. A super nice shine over your foundation but also a super nice glow for the summer.
I highly recommend it!
The Gucci multi-use drops caring & illuminating. There is no other product that I am really obsessed with. But this really made me fall in love. It is such a wonderful product, both the packaging and the product itself. My makeup has never had such a beautiful glow as it does now. Sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer and sometimes I apply it after my moisturizer. Right after I did this, my face has a huge glow. When I apply my foundation afterwards, the glow stays visible and sometimes I also use it as a liquid highlighter to finish it off. It is not heavy at all and there are not too many glitters in it. The substance is slightly thin and the pipette makes it easy to apply in terms of exactly what you want.
I highly recommend it.
After years of being on my wish list, I was finally able to add it to my makeup stash. I have a lot of high lighters and think this is an absolute addition to any beauty routine. So the reason I haven't purchased this product before is because I already have so much lying around and I was afraid it would disappoint. After buying a few dupes, I received this great product as a gift & I was immediately sold. The shine and the application are really worth 5 stars. The product is a real upgrade to your beauty routine. To anyone who is unsure: absolutely do it!
Do you want to create a beautiful glow on your cheeks? Then look no further, but buy the Charlotte tilbury beauty wall in Spotlight. You don't look like a disco ball, but the effect is actually very smooth and blends beautifully with your skin. In the picture, I'm wearing the Beauty Light Wand - New! Disney 100 Edition Pink underneath. It comes in a great package that you can open and close, so it won't smear.

This product is hands down the best highlighter I have ever used!! I have very sensitive skin and was perfectly fine with my skin, caused no reactions! This gives the most beautiful glow and is perfect for a glowy makeup! This product also lasts a while.
I am so happy with this Charlotte Tilbury highlighter! After thinking about this purchase for a long time, I bought it and I do not regret it at all. Of course, it is quite expensive, but this highlighter is really worth the money. I've had it for a year now and haven't even run out. That's because you really only need a little bit. Recommended!
The beauty light wand looks stunning on the skin.It blends very easily and doesn't separate makeup underneath. The highlighter can be used very naturally or be built up to give a blinding glow. I would recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of highlighter.
Looking to stay fleeky all day and night? Setting spray!
Aaaaand lastly, seal the deal with a setting spray that keeps your holiday glam intact. Dance, laugh, and celebrate without worrying about touch-ups. Spritz on some setting spray for a flawless finish that lasts through all your 'going ALL OUT' moments.
The Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray is truly a game changer! This setting spray ensures that your makeup stays in place all day long, without fading or feeling cakey. The fine mist spreads evenly over your skin and gives a beautiful, natural finish without feeling sticky or heavy. What makes this spray so special is that it literally “fixes” your makeup without drying out your skin. You get a fresh, subtle glow without a greasy look. Ideal for daily use as well as long days or nights out!
This setting spray comes in a nice bottle. The mist is super fine and feels refreshing without leaving your face soaking wet. What I notice is that your makeup stays in perfect place all day long!! This took me a long time to find out and I'm glad I found it because this one is a goalkeeper.

What I especially like is that my makeup stays glowing and fresh without feeling dry. Even after a long day, everything stays nicely in place.

Absolutely love this especially on special occasions and holidays keeps your make up stay put when i need it to stay I spray this between every layer. The only downside is it it’s quite expensive so only use it when i need a flawless long day. The 200ml bottle lasted me 2 x14 days trip and a little over so 32 days of use with spraying in between layers
I love it ❤️
This setting spray.. When i tell you this is something i will be repurchasing again and again and again😍The way a single spritz can melt together all of your makeup and leave you with the most FLAWLESS base is beyond me! Even as a beginner this is the ideal product, if your base looks patchy, not smooth enough, this setting spray does the trick and honestly works magic on your face 🪄✨
I love this setting spray. It's actually more of a mist and it nicely and silently mists over your skin without you needing to brace yourself from a harsh splash. It's light and melts my makeup into my skin and makes it last ALL DAY. I do my makeup at 6AM and get home at 12 AM and my face hasn't moved. And no need for blotting!
this is one of those products i don’t know how i ever lived without. i like to set both my cream and powder products with this setting spray separately and i find this creates an overall seamless blend. all-nighter is the most accurate name of all time too, i have never had my makeup give up before i wash it off after using this product.
This setting spray ensures that everything blends together perfectly.
And apart from the fact that it does its job very well, it also stays in place all day long! I've bought this product again 4 times. I think that says enough about how good this product is.
It’s the one setting spray that never lets me down. I buy it in doubles just to make sure I’m never left without. Gives me a flawless and sets creams and powders beautifully! I always get compliments on my flawless base and I think it’s down to this!
In my opinion, the urban decay all nighter setting spray is the best there is at the moment! I've tried many different brands and types but none of them have the results like this one. It's super long lasting and it sets my makeup really well too! It lasts much longer, creases less to almost no and it ensures that my makeup isn't cakey at all! I don't use anything else anymore!
This setting spray ensures that my makeup stays in place all day long. The mist is just right: neither too much nor too wet. As a result, my makeup does not run off and everything stays neatly in place without melting. Perfect for the price!
This is the best setting spray! The spray comes at a good price. I wear it in the morning and it's still good at the end of the day and even in the evening! It doesn't irritate my skin. It dries quickly and you don't feel like you have an extra layer on your face.
Settingspray stays in place very well. A very good and nice setting spray for very little money. I'm not going to spend money on expensive settings sprays anymore, now I have a good setting spray for little money. Recommended! Makeup doesn't fly away anymore, the makeup is still on after a whole day.
Such a great setting spray! It makes my makeup last all day without drying out my skin!! The mist is so fine, and it even smells nice! It’s easy to use and super affordable! Not only this, but elf is cruelty free, so it’s a win win! Would 100% recommend!
This. I have 0 Words. This hands down is one of the best drug store setting sprays i’ve ever used and keeps my makeup locked in place for HOURSS. I have even walked in the rain for 45 minutes and my makeup did not budge an inch and it’s so affordable for the price and just is such a good value for the money
I absolutely adore this product! The hold is amazing and i can stay with my makeup on for hours, maybe even days haha! Matte makeup stays matte and glowy makeup stays glowy, i mean what more could you ask for!? It doesn’t leave any residue which is perfect for me and should be for you too!
I sprayed this product on for the first time the morning before my competition after my entire makeup routine and WOW!! My makeup really stayed in place, even with all the anxiety, sweat I had to endure. When I got home, my makeup was still exactly the same as I left and I was still completely matte!! So top product!!
This is by far my favourite setting spray. It goes on as a fine mist and dries up very quickly without ruining your makeup. The finish is a beautiful matte which compliments my skin so well. It almost looks airbrushed. It is not heavy and does not have a scent which is great.
I love this stuff, it’s always out of stock but if you find buy immediately you won’t regret! I have combo skin and find eyeshadow wears off and I get shine. This is so great at keeping everything in place, perfect for a long day or night out. Doesn’t feel heavy on skin and mists just nicely to get an even coverage.
A must buy!
The spray has a very nice mist that does not leave your face dripping wet but distributes the mist nicely and evenly. It dries quickly and ensures that your makeup stays in place all day long. In addition, the spray ensures that you have a matte finish and stays matt all day long. It doesn't make your skin “stiff”.
The MAC Fix+ Setting Spray is a must-have for makeup enthusiasts. It not only provides a fresh, hydrating boost to the skin, but also helps to set makeup for a long time. The spray has a fine mist that applies evenly without leaving any drops. It gives a natural glow and can be used both before and after applying makeup. Ideal for a radiant look that lasts all day long!
This setting spray is absolutely amazing.. I use it to start before I use my primer, once I’ve finished applying all liquid products and then finally after doing my whole face.
I was so used to having to top up my concealer, powder and bronzer multiple times a day but then once I started using this I was able to improve the longevity of my makeup. Even being able to go from 8.30 am in the morning, throughout work and then through a night out.
I would highly recommend
The best setting spray I’ve ever used. Leaves such a good finishing look with the glow. Doesn’t make your face to wet and keeps your makeup perfect through any day. Would never go back to any setting spray this ticks all the boxes definitely worth the money
I have been using Fix+ every day for yeaaars! Nothing sets my makeup better than this product whether I’m going for a very natural or glam look. The mist is so fine and it binds everything together so well, the makeup looks like skin. And it lasts all day even in extreme conditions.
I've already tried a number of setting sprays but this one is really the best so far. I was in the pouring rain last weekend, but my makeup was really good at the end of the day. I used urbandecay's setting spray for a while but it felt very sticky and didn't work enough. This one from Mac is really nice and really makes your makeup last longer!
