Santa's Sweetheart
You can never go wrong with a bold red lip, as Sabrina Carpenter shows. For the pop star's take on the classic look, choose a cherry red hue. Keep the eyes simple with a thin black cat eye and tie the look together with baby pink blush on the apples of the cheeks.

Soft Waves
Matilda Djerf constantly gives us hair envy every time she appears on our Instagram feeds and this soft waved look is no exception.

Enhance the look with a spritz of a volume booster at the root and oil at the ends for maximum shine.

Sugarplum Princess
While you wait for your nutcracker, Ariana Grande is here to give us major sugarplum princess vibes. To recreate her look, start with a flawless even base. Tap on a shimmery pink shadow on the lids and swipe on a sparkly pink lip gloss for a very Glinda-like visage.

Chic Bob
The ghost of Christmas past, present, and future have nothing on Gracia Abrams' Jackie Kennedy-esce bob. Start by applying heat protectant from root to tip. Using a flat iron, lift from the root and round down, unclamping after the one inch mark for that 1960's like volume. Bump the ends by flipping them inwards while the face framing pieces slightly outwards and add hairspray to lock it in place.

Frost Princess
Things are getting icy in the tropics and Mae Tan is showing us how to channel our inner frost princess. To recreate her look, pop a frosty white all over the upper and lower lid—if you wanna amp it up, add a baby blue in the centre of the upper lid. Blend a liquid blush on the cheeks and across the nose bridge and tie the look together with a nude pink lip.

Curled Spirals
Face-framing ringlets spruce up any updo as shown by Blackpink's Rosé. The key is to curl small sections at a time instead of the usual one inch pieces. After a spritz of texturising spray, curl the hair away from your face and gather the hair behind to twist into a messy bun. Leave some tendrils out infront to frame the face and lock it in with some hairspray.

Mulled Wine
Blackpink's Jisoo shows us how to channel mulled wine hues with this monochromatic look. Apply a shimmery burgendy hue on the lid and lower lashline. From there, add major sparkles with a sparkly liquid lip and swipe on a matching nail polish to tie the look together.
