The festive season is all about connection, celebration, and effortless confidence - and your makeup should reflect that. This year, Code8 invites you to embrace three radiant Christmas makeup looks designed to take you seamlessly from morning moments to evening sparkle.
Each look combines our signature, high-performance formulas with wearable festive tones that bring light, warmth, and joy to every occasion.
The Christmas Glam
For those who love timeless elegance with a bold edge.
Create a flawless, smooth base using the Day to Night Foundation (model wears N15) and Seamless Cover Concealer(model wears N10) to brighten and perfect. Sweep soft metallics from the Iconoclast Eyeshadow Palette in Velvet Chrome across lids for refined festive sparkle. Define brows with the Brow Pencil(model wears Light) and coat lashes with Lash Sophisticate Mascara for depth and definition.
Warm your complexion with Bronzer(model wears East Hampton) and a soft flush using the Blush Palette(model wears Rosé). Complete your bold eye look with a nude lip - Colour Brilliance Lipstick in St Germain and Lip Liner in Salvador for the perfectly defined statement.
From AM to PM: Simply reapply your lipstick before heading out to refresh your look instantly – or add a swipe of Glazé Lip Gloss to glam it up further.
The Christmas Glow
For those who prefer a dewy, radiant complexion with subtle definition.
Start with Day to Night Foundation (model wears NW15) and Seamless Cover Concealer(model wears NW15) for hydrated, even finish. Add warmth with Bronzer (model wears Positano) and softly define eyes using Precision Eyeliner in Mocha and Arch Realist Brow Pencil(model wears Dark). Apply AM/PM in Spin City to both lips and cheeks for a natural, cohesive glow.
From AM to PM: Add definition with Lip Liner in Frida and Matte Velour Lipstick in Soho Detour - a modern rich red, perfect for the festive season, that transitions beautifully into evening glamour.
The Quick Christmas Fix
For spontaneous plans or low-effort festive days.
Perfect your skin in seconds with Radiate Beauty Balm(model wears C90) and Seamless Cover Concealer(model wears W70). Add definition with Lash Sophisticate Mascara for wide-awake eyes. Blend Chameleon Tinted Lip Balm onto lips and cheeks for a soft touch of colour that adapts to your skin-tone.

How to Do Christmas Makeup
To create the perfect Christmas makeup look, focus on radiance and balance. Choose one statement feature - glowing skin, a striking lip, or shimmery eyes - and let the rest of your makeup enhance it subtly. Layer your base lightly, build intensity where needed, and use Code8’s multi-use products to keep things seamless and modern.
