The holidays are always a time of year for dressing up and looking your best. It’s fun to hit a holiday party feeling glamorous. So let’s scope out the top holiday hair and makeup trends for winter 2018.

Popular Holiday Season Hair and Makeup looks

The 90s look has been in most of this year, and it hasn’t gone away yet. You can kick up your 90s trend for the holidays with crimped hair. Keep it from looking unkempt by pulling hair into a high ponytail before crimping it. And the holidays are always an appropriate time for flashy or colourful hair accessories.

Another 90s ponytail look is to leave the front of your hair out of the ponytail, part these long bangs down the middle, and curl them just in the middle of the strands to create waves that frame your face. It’s a feminine and easy style to pull off.

For makeup, bright eyes create a joyful look for the season. You can get this easily with a bit of white eyeshadow blended into the inner corner of the eye. You can use a matte or shimmery shade. Either one opens up the eyes. Finish with classic black mascara and eyeliner.

Hair Products For The Holidays

You’re going to need the right products to get the look you want. If you’re using a crimper, you should prep your hair with heat protectant to avoid damage. Tresemme Heat Tamer Leave In Spray is an affordable option that protects well.

Lock in face framing curls with a flexible hold hairspray, like R + CO Outer Space Flexible Hairspray.

Makeup Products For The Holidays

There are so many options for makeup palettes. But if you don’t have an eyeshadow palette that includes white, you can buy a single eyeshadow compact. For a matte white eyeshadow, we suggest Sephora Colorful Eyeshadow in Let It Snow. For shimmer, we love MAC Eyeshadow in White Frost.
