She Just Gave Us The Perfect Holiday Makeup Inspo

by Jamie Cuccinelli

Ahh, the holidays. A time for family, food, and of course, limited edition holiday makeup collections – obviously my favorite time of year. While visions of sugarplums dance in children’s heads, my Christmas Eve dreams involve less fairies and more smoky eye shadow palettes with that perfectly angular brush. Among some of the best? Bobbi Brown's holiday collection, with Kate Upton as the face of the brand's Scotch on the Rocks collection.

Wrapped in the prettiest of packaging and with the lushest of holiday colors, these limited edition collections that roll out this time of year always make for a never-fail perfect gift for all your glam friends (or, you know, just yourself). Looking for one of the most gorgeous collections of this season? Or perhaps just a sultry makeup look that’ll have you glowing like the candles at your friends’ finally-here holiday parties? My girl Kate Upton has got your back.

The collection itself — with golden eye shadows, warm bronzers, sexy, bordeaux lip colors, and rich nail lacquers — is worthy of a spot under your tree. But Upton’s over-the-shoulder smoldering stares and vintage glam look somehow makes it all even more gorgeous. Trust me, Brown’s collection and these promo pics are a Christmas gift come early.

Brown told Refinery29 that this latest collection conveys memories of “sitting by the fire in an oversized leather chair, enjoying a scotch on the rocks.” An old-school image that’s so fitting for a collection where Upton channeled Lauren Bacall from How to Marry a Millionaire in the stunning ads.

Classically beautiful and festive, the collection will effortlessly carry you through the party season. And Kate Upton’s Hollywood Golden Era look is too easy to be true with a little help from Bobbi Brown. Just check out some of the campaign pics below and see how Scotch on the Rocks can make you glow faster than a New Year's glass of champagne.

Get Kate's sultry, '40s-inspired look with the bold and glossy Scotch on the Rocks Lip Color in Sultry Red and a few sweeps of Scotch on the Rocks Pink Glow Highlighting Powder.

Kate’s smoky eye will have you smoldering like chestnuts over an open fire. Use the Scotch on the Rocks Warm Glow Eye Palette and Black Scotch Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner.

All this warm, glowy look takes is a barely-there swipe of Gold Scotch on the Rocks Glitter Lip Gloss and the Bronze Glow Highlighting Powder for a pretty, just-stepped-out-of-the-cold flush.
