Festive Beauty Guide 2025: The Hottest Eye Makeup Trends to Try This Season

Here’s how to get ready, like a pro!

There’s something extremely magical about fall festivities, the golden chill of the evenings, the excitement of reunions and an irresistible urge to dress up a little more than usual. While our choice of attire and jewellery sets the stage, it’s often the eye makeup that completes the story, from setting the mood of the event to commanding attention.

This season, just like celebrations are becoming effortless, eye makeup has also taken the same route globally. This year the eye makeup trends are neither overworked nor predictable; it’s about smart, impactful details that feel global yet festive.

I always believe, “The eyes are where your entire festive look comes alive. This year, it’s about making them luminous, playful, and unforgettable with half the effort and double the impact.”

Below is a curation of the most striking eye makeup trends for the festive season, easy enough to master and powerful enough to leave a lasting impression.

1. The Crystal Constellation Effect

This is the ultimate hack for creating a red carpet look. After creating your winged eyeliner with any bold holographic shade, use a tiny amount of lash glue to place small, self-adhesive eye crystals along the liner.

You can create either a graduated effect, with larger crystals at the outer corner and smaller ones as you move inward or the same-sized crystals to create a design you like. This simple addition turns a simple liner into a piece of art that sparkles from every angle.

2. The Floating Pearl Accent

After applying your usual eyeliner, place a single pearl or pearl-finish bead at the inner corner where tears naturally collect. This would create an ethereal, goddess-like effect that makes eyes appear larger and more awake.

For added drama, use holographic liners. The contrast between the liner's shimmer and the pearl's lustre adds dimensional intrigue.

3. Negative Space & Dotted Liner

 A modern twist on a classic. Instead of drawing a solid line, create a negative space effect. Use a holographic crayon to outline your wing, leaving the inner portion of the lid bare.

To take it a notch higher,  you can try to create a series of small, evenly spaced dots right above the crease line. This minimalist yet graphic approach is highly appealing and lets the unique, reflective properties of the holographic liner take center stage.

4. The Inner Corner Duet

The inner corner of the eye is a powerful spot for a pop of light. Take a holographic crayon in a contrasting shade to your main liner. Apply it to the inner corner and smudge it slightly with your finger.

This creates a mesmerising, dual-toned effect that brightens the eyes with minimal effort.

5. Gilded Lash Line

After applying your regular black or brown kajal, use a fine brush or the tip of a holographic crayon in a shimmering shade to trace a thin line right on top of the black.

The glimmering effect will be visible only when you blink, giving you a beautiful peek-a-boo sparkle that's both chic and surprising. This is a fantastic way to introduce a touch of festivity without a full-blown dramatic eye look.
