How To Style Your Eyes For The Christmas Party

The festive season - a time for seeing family and friends, getting glammed-up, and a Christmas party or two. It’s hard enough choosing what to wear, let alone what to do with your makeup; which is why we’ve come up with this How To Style Your Eyes For The Christmas Party blog.

Taking inspiration from the fashion catwalks, we checked out the top trends for autumn winter from Harper’s Bazaar and Elle Magazine, and put together our favourite party-looks... 

Truly Traditional

You can’t go wrong with a traditional look, which ties into the festive colour-theme too. Finish a bold red lip with a brush of blush and your favourite vegan false lashes. Choose from any of our human hair bestsellers; whether that’s M103 - medium and long length lashes in two layers for a classic look, and a black band so you can save time and skip the eyeliner, H167 - wispy strip lashes with a clear thin band to give a more dramatic look, or M106 - giving you the most impact and volume from our three picks; these multi-layered lashes are fluffy, thick and full.

Snow Queen

White eyeliner is a big trend this autumn winter, so why not go one step further and add some white lashes into the Christmas mix? Choose from C173 - beautiful black and white wispy and spiky lashes with multiple layers and a great curl, C165 - creative, dramatic and unique lashes with a blend of black and white, or even our Eldora Brush On Lash Adhesive - our customers tell us that they use this as glitter glue because of the stunning finish when dry. Think sparkle, shimmer and snowflakes!

In 'Ore' Of Metallic Eyes

Beautiful baubles, sparkling lights and festive magic; we’re in ‘ore’ of the metallic eye trend this season! Perfect for any Christmas or New Year party; choose from D126 - short, spiky, wispy lashes with silver glitter throughout, D175 - long and wispy black lashes with gold glitter throughout, or D162 - very long, spiky lashes varying in lengths, finished with gold glitter tips! We’ll be wearing all three, just not at the same time!

Trend Alert - Purple

Be bang on trend this Christmas with the colour purple! Luxurious, rich and regal; what’s not to love? Whether it’s a swipe of purple shadow to your eyelids, a bold purple lip or one of our sets of purple false lashes. Choose from C110 - beautiful shorter style bright purple and black lashes blend with a black band, C176 - extremely unique super-long bright purple and black lashes, in a spider web design, or D149 - double-layered shorter-style lashes with a sparkly purple band for an extra touch of glam; perfect for parties.

Natural Look

Not everyone wants colourful and dramatic. We love a natural, sunkissed look too. After adding a natural gradual tanner to the face, a touch of bronzer to the cheeks and layer of clear gloss to the lips; try adding some subtle lashes for a ‘I got out of bed like this’ look! Individual lashes are so versatile and will really open the eyes; you can build them up, adding as many or as little as you like. Shop our selection of Individual Lashes to find the perfect ones for you, and don’t forget our Under Lashes too!

Colour Clash Lash

Another trend is colour; whether you stick to one, two, or a rainbow; brighten up any Christmas party with a psychedelic party popper look! Whether you choose S303 - an eye-catching assortment of individual lashes, C183 - sumptuous dark blue and black mix lashes in a super spiky, angled, sweeping appearance, or go full-on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with S502 - beautiful eye catching full rainbow lashes interspersed with spiky black pieces (shown in image below).

Our tip for a sophisticated colour clash lash look is to just concentrate on the eyes, so you won’t end up looking like something from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Top Tip

Each set of our lashes (apart from The Buttercup Collection) come with a 0.5ml tube of lash adhesive, but don’t forget to stock up on our bigger tubes of Eldora Brush On Lash Adhesive ready for the party season - vegan, not tested on animals and gentle on your skin.
