We're ready to look extra good this Christmas with any of these holiday collections.
Off the top of our heads, we can't think of anything we dislike about Christmas. Everything is guilded and glitzy with an extra sprinkling of festive cheer.
Beauty brands know best what we're talking about with special holiday collections every year that leave us dizzy with stars in our eyes. This year, these are the 7 we have on our Christmas wishlist.
Chanel Architectonic
Christmas is the shiny glass, gleaming metal and hypnotic play of light of our urban city architecture at Chanel, translated through its Architectonic collection. Silver, blue and gunpowder grays leave eyes magnetic in more ways than one while lips and nails get a natural shade of pink for a jovial touch. See the full collection here.
Dior Splendor
This holiday season, Dior is painting lips a velvet hue, embellishing nails with lacquer that shimmer with festive light and sweeping the eyes with intense smoky shadows. Flamboyantly glamourous beauty is the way to go with the new Splendor collection that is inspired by the sparkle of sequins. Browse the full lineup here.
Lancôme Paris en Rôse
Lancôme is bringing a feminine flavour this holiday season with a makeup collection laced with joie de vivre and romance. The "Paris en Rôse", which is also the first makeup line from creative director of makeup Lisa Eldridge, gives pride of place to pink in a host of mix-and-match shades that channel radiance and festive magic. Discover more of the inspiration here.
Guerlain Shalimar
The House of Guerlain has lent its creative beauty reins to its muse Natalia Vodianova this year to create a collection in her image. The results is the Shalimar collection -- named after the fragrance Vodianova has been the face of for 8 years -- that is romantic, passionate and revives the sumptuousness and riches of Imperial India.
