#1 Santa's Hat Eye Makeup

Let's begin with a classic Christmas icon: Santa! Start by dusting a light wash of neutral eyeshadow across your lids to create a smooth base that makes the colours pop. Then, add depth by blending a warm brown shade into the outer corners of your eyes, working it inward towards the crease.

For a soft girl aesthetic, go for brown eyeliner instead of black. Draw a thin winged line along your upper lash line and line the bottom too for added definition.

Now for the fun part - Santa's hat. Use white eyeliner or eyeshadow to draw a short and thick line on top of your winged liner as the furry brim of the hat. Then, using red eyeliner or eyeshadow, draw a triangle shape just above the white line to form the red hat. To complete the hat, add a white "pom pom" at the top of the triangle. Finish off the look by curling your lashes and applying your favourite mascara, and voila - you're all set!

If you fancy a look that's even more playful, try this adorable gingerbread man eye makeup makeup look.

First, apply an orange shade on your lids and blend in a brown shade at the outer area of your eyes. Dab some gold glitter in the middle of your lids and in the inner corners of your eyes to brighten up the look. Then, draw a winged line using a brown eyeliner. For a subtle festive touch, add a red liner on top of the brown liner and apply red glitter along your lower lash line.

Next, it’s time to add the two adorable gingerbread men! Use brown eyeliner to outline one gingerbread man and white eyeliner for the other on your eyelids. Add eyes and buttons with the contrasting colors—white for the brown gingerbread man and brown for the white one. For an extra festive touch, draw a couple of snowflakes around your eyes by creating a '+' and 'x' shape, then adding a 'v' at the ends of each line.

#3 Reindeer Eye Makeup

For a whimsical, fairytale-worthy look, try this reindeer-inspired eye makeup look.

Look through your eyeshadow collection and find a shade that looks like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - warm, medium brown with a hint of red. This will be the base your makeup look, applied as contour, eyeshadow and blush. Sweep it across your eyelids, the tops of your cheeks, and the sides of your nose. Add a touch of gold glitter to the centre of your eyelids, along your lower lash line, and in the inner corners for some sparkle.

Next, use a fine-tipped brush to dot on some concealer on the areas where you applied the blush. These little spots mimic reindeer markings!

Draw a winged line using a medium brown eyeliner, then complete your usual lash routine. For the final touch, draw cute "antlers" at the top of your lids.
