As Christmas is the most joyous time of the year, let your appearance match that energy. To stand out from the crowd, we suggest trying out some of beauty's most over-the-top trends this weekend. We're talking: Fun liners, avant-garde brows, hair glitter, and tooth gems! Below, all of the ways you can recreate these fun and easy looks. 

Patterned Eyeliner

1 / 2

Try your hand at patterned eyeliners this Christmas; a look that's pretty simple if you already have an existing white eyeliner pen stashed in your beauty collection. The most important part when recreating this look is to prep your lids with a good primer. Next, draw thick lines with your white eyeliner; the thicker they are, the more the prints on your liner will pop. Following that, dab a narrow eyeliner brush into your eyeshadow palette, and draw striped multicoloured patterns over your liner. To make sure they stand out, use a more pigmented eyeshadow palette like the NORVINA® Pro Pigment Palette.  

Avant-Garde Brows

Get the Doja Cat look by drawing your brows. The best thing about this trend is that there's no wrong way to execute it due to its avant-garde nature; all you really need is glue, concealer, foundation, and a thin eyeliner pen. Start by glueing your brows down and concealing them with concealer. Next, pat on your foundation as per normal, and finally, draw your brows however way you want to. You can even draw shapes in between the lines or add colour to your brows for added definition. And if you don't trust yourself to draw twin brows freehand, opt for sticking gems onto your brows instead. 

Connect Liner to Hair

This one's really fun to do if you have sufficient prep time for it. Much like the concept of connecting the dots, Charli XCX's look creates a partnership of sorts with your makeup and hair. We suggest recreating the look by following these three steps: Tying your hair, doing your makeup, and then, adding gems to your hair. Some things to consider when attempting this trend is to make sure your hair's tied tight with no loose feelers falling out of it, that your eyeshadow colours and gems blend nicely together at the connecting points on your temples, and that you pick hair gems that are sticky enough to last the night on your strands. Try not to apply any hair oils to your hair beforehand to make sure the gems stick well. 

Hair Glitter

If you really want to make a statement at your holiday parties this year, consider incorporating hair glitter to your look. Take it from the expert – Miley Cyrus and go wild with colour. The singer makes it a point to apply only a small amount of hair glitter close to her parting and gradually fade the effect out with coloured hair wax. As for the wax, we recommend getting a good temporary colour product like gooddyeyoung's Poser Paste. Simply lay it on, brush it out, and add the glitter on top for that added oomph. 

Tooth Gems

1 / 5

Dental jewellery has taken the beauty world by storm. You've seen it on stars like Spanish singer Rosalía, model Hailey Bieber, beauty gurus like Rihanna, and more, and now you can try the look for yourself too. Tooth gems will tie your entire festive look together with their shimmery qualities; you can opt for a simple look with just two gems on your canines, or go all out with multicoloured ones across a row of teeth. Head down to your local parlour to get it done!
