There’s no shortage of shiny new products for eyes, lips, and cheeks products to take your party looks to the next level this winter. Take your pick from our favourite finds below.

Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick

With her eponymous brand’s latest launch, London-based makeup artist and YouTube star Lisa Eldridge brings timeless glamour back to everyday essentials. The Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick line is made up of eight shades for every occasion, from a neutral pink to a festive red named Ribbon.

The gleaming case was inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s iconic 18-karat gold Cartier lipstick holder, which Eldridge—an avid vintage makeup collector—bought at auction in 2017. Refillable and made entirely from recyclable aluminum, the tube can be engraved with your initials for a one-of-a-kind objet you’ll want to display on your vanity for years to come.

Housed in a bedazzled pop art quad created in collaboration with French artist Shourouk Rhaiem, this limited-edition eyeshadow palette is the key to creating eye-catching looks this holiday season.

Inspired by Rhaiem’s playful designs, Guerlain’s makeup creative director Violette Serrat curated four shades—pastel pink, burgundy, copper and red—in a mix of matte, satin, and metallic finishes. From sweet and subtle to bold and audacious, the resulting looks pay homage to Guerlain’s opulent DNA, with a fun and flirty twist.

Available in 24 shades—including Hermès’s signature Orange Boîte hue and Vert Titien, a wintery forest green ideal for the holiday season—this collection of eye pencils blends a high-performance formula with refined design. The creamy tip delivers a precise, long-lasting line, which can be artfully smudged with the build-in brush.

An ode to the fashion house’s equestrian roots, the pencils’ brushed-metal and lacquered-wood evoke the obstacle bars used in show jumping events.

The formula contains volumizing polymers and conditioning jojoba waxes for a clump-free finish that boasts an impressive 28 hours of wear. And the elegant art deco-inspired glass tube—said to help preserve the integrity of the formula—is the cherry on top.
