The time has come to countdown to Christmas, and that means party season is now underway. What better time than in the midst of festive cheer to experiment with more colour and sparkle than you usually would. To ensure you are photo-ready for every social event marked in the diary, here are our recommendations of the best beauty essentials you need to be packing in your cosmetics bag.
Chanel
For the holidays, Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer of Chanel, Lucia Pica channeled her inspiration from Gabrielle Chanel’s love of ornaments. A part of Les Ornaments de Chanel, this vibrant collection of lustrous lip sticks comes in six luminous shades, which will quickly become an ultimate essential when it comes to creating that statement bold red lip. The indulgent range of lip colours are lasting and hydrating, and most importantly, kiss proof. An added bonus is that they are beautifully cased in limited edition packaging with Chanel’s vintage logo ornately engraved in gold. HK$315
Fenty
When it comes to glamorous hues and over-the-top sparkle, Fenty Beauty never falls short… especially for the holidays. Introducing Tinsel $how Collection, the holiday set consists of all the best-selling favourites including Glass Bomb, Stunna Lip Pain and Killawatt Foil – all in festive shimmery shades. We love their Glossy Posse set of five mini lippies to give lips a luscious high-impact shine for late nights out and a dramatic impression. HK$398
Givenchy
Introduced in 2006, the iconic Prisme Libre super powder by Givenchy is dressed up for the holidays in glittering red. The four shade matte and finish powder uses fine mother of pearl pastels in harmony to smooth, mattify and illuminate complexion so your face makeup is heat, oil and sweat proof from day to night. Replacing the original green quarter of the loose powder is a soft pink just for the festive season to add that extra natural rosy glow. HK$560
Lancôme x Chiara
Lancôme global muse Chiara Ferragni, more affectionately known as the blonde salad, is continuing her partnership following cult status with the longstanding beauty brand. Mademoiselle Chiara – The Palette is a one size fits all for the holidays.

The trio combines a shimmering peach champagne to highlight, pearl shine candy pink for a rosy flush and a mid-tone raspberry shimmer for a vibrant yet still natural sheen. Easily blend-able and buildable, this palette is all you need for accentuating cheekbones and giving the illusion of radiant flush. HK$440
