THE FUSE

The desire for a balls-to-the-wall holiday makeup look is only natural, with glitter and sparkles getting their much-awaited time in the sun — the sun being dimly lit corners of Christmas soirées and heavy-flash photos. But, if your holiday outfit includes a host of shimmer already or you’re just in a simpler state of mind as the year winds down, Gracie Abrams has some inspiration for us. Her makeup artist, Emily Cheng, created a look using Hourglass’ Ambient Lighting Edit in Swan that is ready for any and all festivities before we ring in 2026.
