Elevate Your Holiday Style with Three Glamorous Eye Looks

The holiday season of 2025 is upon us, and with it comes the opportunity to elevate your festive style with stunning eye makeup looks. Bonita Artistry, led by makeup artist Sarai, shares three glamorous eye looks that are quick to create and designed to turn heads at any holiday gathering. From intimate family dinners to sparkling office parties and vibrant nights out, these styles are sure to make a statement.

Modern Smoky Eyes: A Festive Take on a Classic

The modern smoky eye redefines a classic favorite with a celebratory twist. This season, rich earthy tones, deep purples, warm browns, and moody olive greens replace traditional black and grey. The key to this look lies in the seamless blending of colors, creating depth that enhances the eyes beautifully in both photographs and real-life settings.

Why this look works: it complements everything from luxurious velvet dresses to dazzling sparkly tops, making it ideal for evening celebrations or dinner parties. Additionally, it flatters all eye shapes, allowing everyone to shine.

For a softer, more wearable blend, a cream shadow can be used as a base. A recommended product is the Mecca Max Zoom Shadow Stick Matte in Espresso, available for AUD 22.

Glitter Eyes: Dazzle for Any Occasion

Nothing captures the festive spirit quite like glittery eyes. This look allows for a spectrum ranging from subtle shimmer to bold sparkle, making it a perfect choice for New Year’s Eve celebrations or holiday cocktails. Glitter not only adds a touch of glamour but also reflects light beautifully, ensuring that your eyes catch the spotlight wherever you go.

This eye-catching style can be customized in intensity, allowing you to choose how bold or soft you want to appear. A pro tip for keeping glitter in place is to apply it with a small flat brush that has been lightly sprayed with setting spray. For this look, consider the Morphe M301 Small Paddle Packer, priced at AUD 17.

Winged Liner: Bold and Effortless

The winged liner remains a timeless choice, but this season invites creativity. Experiment with dramatic wings, graphic shapes, or even vibrant and metallic liners to add a striking finish to your festive look. This eye makeup enhances and opens the eyes, providing a polished appearance with minimal products.

Pairing this look with bold or neutral lips creates a balanced aesthetic. For those looking to master the winged effect, using a push-and-wiggle brush along with medium or dark brown eyeshadow can help stencil out the desired shape before applying liquid liner. The Morphe X Ariel A19 Dual-Ended Brush, available for AUD 27, is recommended for achieving precision.
