Christmas makeup is trending on TikTok and these are the must-see looks

It's the most wonderful time of the year (according to the song, anyway) and so it's no great surprise that Christmas makeup is currently trending on TikTok.

We've worn considerably less makeup recently than perhaps any other time since its invention, but nothing is going to stop us from getting our holiday glow-up on. And while a lot of us see Christmas as a chance to go big on our make-up looks and crack out the glitter, this is a whole other level of creativity.

As is the standard for TikTok (remember the Tiktok space girl makeup trend?), these trending Christmas looks are seriously creative and take inspiration from some of the world's favorite holiday movies and festive fairy tales.

Keep scrolling for some of our favorite looks, from the wonderful to the wacky, to inspire your holiday outfit inspiration. First up we have a very festive reindeer-inspired look...

Next up we have everyone's favorite grump, The Grinch who, somewhat paradoxically, is still a symbol of the holidays.

What's more festive than Christmas lights? Christmas lights all over your face, I guess. 

Next up, how cool is this candy cane inspired look? Nothing is more festive than a red and white colour scheme.

And last but not least, one of the most popular holiday fairytales/ballets, The Nutcracker. We won't lie, the talent is real but we find this one a little scary.
