That’s why, in partnership with Ulta Beauty, we tasked four R29 editors to demand more from their holiday beauty this season, to push themselves out of their comfort zone, and to present a high-risk, high-reward look that defy conventions and expectations, and in doing so, challenge the very definition of holiday beauty. It’s a look we turn to year after year, holiday party after holiday party, because 1) it can always be counted on for being on-theme - it’s timeless in that sense, 2) it complements any and all festive attire, and 3) it’s deeply comforting as all things are when they’re ritualistic in nature.īut as much as we love a classic, reliable look, there’s something absolutely thrilling about taking the experimental, unexpected route. It doesn’t take a whole lot to conjure up a typical holiday beauty look - there’s usually a cherry-red lip, sometimes a cat-eye, and almost always, glitter in the form of a light-catching metallic eyeshadow or trophy-gold highlighter.
