Magical Holiday Makeup Looks to Sleigh Your Holiday Season
The holidays are here, and with them come twinkling lights, full calendars, and endless reasons to get glam. At Sigma Beauty®, we believe every swipe of shimmer and flick of liner should feel effortless. That’s why we created five unique holiday makeup looks using our award-winning brushes and clean, cruelty-free formulas, so you can sleigh your glam without second-guessing a single product.
Let’s unwrap the looks.
The Classic Christmas Glow
Effortless. Elegant. Always in style.
Radiant skin, soft blush, and a champagne eye never go out of season. This polished, universally flattering look is perfect for everything from office parties to candlelit dinners.
How to get the glow:
- Start with your favorite luminous base and blend using the F80 Flat Kabuki™ Brush for seamless, airbrushed coverage.
- Sculpt gently with bronzer using the F40 Large Angled Contour Brush, then layer on a rosy blush.
- Highlight your cheekbones and nose with the F03 High Cheekbone Highlighter™ Brush for a lit-from-within glow.
- Pair with brushed-up brows and a hydrating nude gloss to keep it modern and fresh.
Complete your glow-up with the Luxe Essentials Set — a curated mix of radiant must-haves to build your perfect base and blend every detail with ease.
Sugar Plum Sparkle
Where dreamy shimmer meets rosy glam.
Plum tones and rose-gold shimmer come together in this soft yet statement-making holiday look. It’s equal parts playful and elegant, the perfect pick for festive nights out or winter weddings.
What you’ll need:
- Use the Ambience Eyeshadow Palette for multidimensional metallics and soft plums.
- Sweep transition shades with the E40 Tapered Blending Brush to create depth.
- Pat shimmer across the lids with your fingertip or the E54 Medium Sweeper™ Brush for high-impact shine.
- Finish with a soft pink lip oil and fluttery lashes for balance.
Looking for a bundled match? The Icy Neutrals Set pairs beautifully with this look. Think shimmering lids and buildable pigments wrapped up in a holiday-ready palette.
Bold & Berry Holiday Glam
Made for bold moves and brighter flashes.
This is your go-to for standing out: think sculpted cheekbones, sharp liner, and a rich berry lip that commands attention. It’s high-drama glam without the stress.
Step into the spotlight:
- Define wings using the E06 Winged Liner™ Brush.
- Contour with a matte bronzer using the F47 Multitasker™ Brush for precision.
- Apply berry lipstick with edge-to-edge definition using the E21 Smudge Brush, which is small and dense enough to control lipstick at the edges.
- Blot, set with translucent powder, and layer again to lock in color that lasts all night.

Frosted Minimalist Look
Fresh, clean, and quietly stunning.
This cool-toned, low-effort look is all about natural radiance. Think sheer coverage, feathered brows, and a glossy lip, perfect for daytime gatherings or relaxed nights in.
Keep it simple, keep it chic:
- Use the F80 Air™ Flat Kabuki™ Brush to blend a light base or tinted moisturizer.
- Shape brows using clear gel and the E75 Angled Brow™ Brush for definition.
- Tap a cool shimmer shadow across the lids for that “just-frosted” touch.
- Finish with a slick of hydrating gloss for instant radiance.
Keep things soft but polished with the Frosted Flush Set — everything you need for a fresh-faced finish that still feels festive.
