The festive season is just around the corner and you know what it calls for, New Makeup Glam Season! Since festivals like Diwali, Christmas, and even the Wedding season are approaching, it’s time to get our makeup arsenal out and experiment. Thus, we have a few ideas with which you can dazzle away in the beautiful lights of the festival.
Best Festive Makeup Choices for this Festive Season
After we have the perfect base makeup done, we can get right on with utilizing color makeup products to complete our makeup look. While the usual, daily makeup is more subtle and natural, festive makeup differs significantly. It comprises bold color choices that focus on making you stand out from the crowd.
- Smokey Sorcery:
One of the classics of the festive season is smokey makeup. It is usually known for its sultry, dramatic look, making it perfect for evening festivities and night parties.
Eye Makeup:
Nude base eyeshadow with dark shades like black or dark brown. The PAC On-the-Go Eyeshadow Palette (Nudes) is the perfect PAC eye palette to nail this look.

Shades like taupe, beige, caramel, and peachy nudes. For a bold look, you can go for deep reds, burgundy, and berry tones, especially for medium to deeper skin tones
- The Jewel Bling Tones:
Using jewel-toned colors can add a touch of bling to your makeup, giving you a luxurious, striking eye look. Jewel-toned colors like sapphire blue and ruby red go well with all skin tones and add a regal vibe to your whole makeup look.
Eye Makeup: Eyeshadow shades like emerald green, amethyst purple, and ruby red add a hint of glitter in the same shade to make it look more shiny.
For this, the PAC VIBE Shadow- Season 2 Palette could be an ideal choice.

Lip Makeup: Muted and soft pinks, dusty roses, or mauve nudes provide a neutral base that lets the jewel tones shine, while berry and plum lipsticks, like cranberry or deep violet, pair beautifully with emerald, sapphire, or amethyst eye makeup on darker skin tones.
- Magnetic Metallics:
Metallic makeup catches the light and gives a luminous finish, making them perfect for night-time festivities.
Eye Makeup: Shades like gold, bronze, copper, or silver are ideal for adding a festive shimmer. You can either give your eyes the complete metallic makeover or just in the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up.
PAC University Palette would be a good option to give you metallic eyes that draw everyone’s attention, like a magnet.

Lip Makeup: A striking lip shade like cherry red, wine, or deep plum complements metallic eye makeup, especially for darker skin tones. You can even try brown-based nudes or soft mocha shades to balance metallic eyes for a more understated lip.
- Simply Subtle Soft Tones:
Sometimes, you just want a soft, subtle yet pretty makeup look that goes well with your festive outfits. Thus, if you prefer something delicate yet festive, go for softer vibes for makeup.
Eye Makeup: You can either go for just a simple line of eyeliner and kajal or subtle, soft, and neutral shades like pink, corals, or peaches. Another option is to just go bare, skipping the kajal and liner. You can straight up go for soft eyeshadows like the ones in the On-the-Go Eyeshadow Palette (Mauves) . You can even pair it with a light shimmer or a shimmery highlighter for a dewy glow.

Lip Makeup: Light, fresh shades like peach, soft pink, and rosy nudes complement the subtlety of the look and add a touch of natural beauty. Other lip shades like light coral or soft berry hues are universally flattering and enhance the overall look's softness.
- Glamorous Glitters:
Glitter makeup instantly adds fun and that touch of ✨sparkle✨to your look, making it ideal for high-energy festivals like Navratri Garba, Diwali parties, weddings, or New Year Celebrations.
Eye Makeup: Glitter on the eyes from the “Uptown Bling” PAC Eyeshadow Palette along with a glitter highlighter like PAC Killer Glow Highlighter and gloss put together a gracefully shiny makeup look that gives off a celebratory aura.

Lip Makeup: A glossy lip in a nude shade or a clear gloss can enhance the sparkle overpowering the eyes. Metallic lip shades in gold, bronze, or rose gold can work well with glitter eyes too, for a coordinated festive look.
- Dazzling Duo-Chromes:
Duo Chrome makeup is a striking and upcoming trend in the makeup world where products shift colors depending on the right. This shimmery effect, typically used in eyeshadows or highlighters, creates a multi-dimensional look that feels unique and artistic.
Eye Makeup: For this, you can get a dual chrome eyeshadow palette like the PAC Spotlight Duo Chrome Eyeshadow Palette or PAC Spotlight Duo Chrome Eyeshadow Palette Season 2 .
These dual-chrome eyeshadows, paired with the PAC Duo-Chrome Highlighter Palette would give you a makeup look that would be etched in people’s memories forever.

Lip Makeup: Opt for metallic or holographic lip shades that mirror the duo-chrome effect such as deep metallic purples, silver, or rose gold. Another option is to try soft pink or mauve shades as they work like neutralizing agents across all skin tones.
Makeup Tips for the Festive Season:
- Glowing Skin with Highlighter:
Pair a luminous foundation with a radiant highlighter on the high points of your face-cheekbones, brow bone, and nose bridge to achieve that beautiful festive glow.
- Long-Lasting Lip Colors:
Opt for bold lip shades such as red, berry, or deep plum, perfect for festive occasions. To ensure your lipstick lasts, use a lip primer before applying your lipstick and finish with a long-lasting formula.
- Well-Defined Brows:
Define your brows to frame your face and bring the entire look together. Use a brow pencil or pomade to fill in any sparse areas and set them in place with a brow gel like the PAC Superbrowww Gel for a polished finish.
