Beauty note: ring back some much-needed glow and glamour with Dior‘s Backstage Glow Face Palette, which comes in three new metallic, gold-inspired shades – its gel base is saturated with pearlescent pigments for maximum payoff.

Beauty Note: Experiment with nudes and purples for a modern evening look – Smashbox’s Always On Liquid Lipstick set includes a chestnut, deep plum, and warm berry, all in a velvety matte finish and infused with a trio of oils to keep puckers comfy throughout their eight-hour-long wear.

Beauty note: For a more wearable though no less statement-making alternative to painterly blue eyes, try Dior’s 5 Couleurs Couture eyeshadow palette in 279 Denim, which is inspired by the brand’s use of the fabric on the runways and packs shades of teal and blue with gold in one nifty package.

Beauty note: Gothic glamour made a major beauty comeback on this year’s runways. Tom Ford’s limited-edition Extreme Sparks collection offers all that one needs for a grown-up, sophisticated take on the look including the brand’s Eye Colour Quad in Mercurial – a cool combo of deep plum, shimmering mauve, sheer nude, and burnished bronze – and the metallic, glitter-packed Lip Spark in Hyper, a bold burgundy.

Beauty note: Contrast statement eyes with a light yet luminous sheen on the cheeks and lips. For Holiday 2020, Chanel updates its most classic shades of Rouge Allure lipstick – including the caramel beige 107 Or Beige – with golden sparkles. Also in the holiday collection: the exclusive Illuminating Blush Powder that’s embossed with a chain motif and adds a translucent, slightly satiny rosy tinge.

Beauty note: The first step to perfecting experimental colours on the face: a long-lasting yet comfortable base such as Nars’ Soft Matte Complete Foundation, which uses micro-algae and hyaluronic acid to hydrate while balancing excess sebum, and oil-absorbing powders for a mattified second-skin look.
