You glow, girl!

 

Our feeds rn are filled with celebrities, in their sweetest holiday season moments, flaunting their illuminating winter glow. You deserve some of this radiance too! The first and the most important step? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Colorbar’s Miracle Glow Moisturiser is a great pick—it nourishes your skin while giving it a natural, lit-from-within radiance. You can use this moisturiser on a daily basis and also as a pre-makeup skincare routine.

Glass skin effect? Hell, yes!

You know, how sometimes, you end up doom-scrolling to find videos of beauty influencers transforming their skin to get the glassy glow on camera, and you can’t help but think if it’s a filter? Yes, we get you but if you tried Colorbar’s Crystal Glow Face Gloss, you’d know it’s quite possible. This lightweight serum hydrates your skin and gives it a glossy, natural glow. You can add it to your prep ritual or simply dab it on for a no-makeup look.

 

Base is everything

 

Once you’re done with moisturising your skin, make sure you don’t skip the primer. A good primer can make all the difference when it comes to long-lasting makeup. Colorbar’s Miracle Glow Primer blurs imperfections, minimises pores, and gives your skin a soft, luminous finish. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and ideal for creating a smooth canvas for your foundation.

Follow it up with the Crystal Glow Hybrid Foundation, which offers lightweight coverage and a dewy finish, plus the added bonus of SPF 30 to protect your skin during daytime events.

Bold lips are back in style

 

Honestly, December is all about colour and not making a statement with your lips would not do this month any justice! This party season, we are looking at rich shades like reds, berries, and deep nudes. Colorbar’s ‘Take Me As I Am’ Lipstick is a standout—it’s vegan, refillable, and infused with nourishing ingredients like tea tree oil and vitamin E. For a matte option, the Sinful Matte Lipstick offers bold colour and long-lasting wear without drying out your lips!

Let your eyes do the talking



 

New Year’s Eve makeup is incomplete without stunning eyes. Colorbar’s I-Glide Eye Pencil is a versatile product that works as a kajal, eyeliner, or eyeshadow. Its creamy, waterproof formula lasts all day and adds instant drama to any look. Pair it with metallic tones or soft shimmer for a party-ready vibe.

This holiday season, it’s not just about looking good—it’s about making thoughtful choices too. With vegan, cruelty-free products and refillable packaging, brands like Colorbar are making it easy to enjoy makeup while being mindful of the planet.

Whether you’re dressing up for a big celebration or keeping it simple for a quiet night in, these products will help you shine through the season.
