‘Snow globe’ lashes are the ultimate make-up statement for the festive season

One of 2025’s biggest make-up trends had to be ghost lashes. Yes, this was the year where we finally weaned ourselves off jet black mascara and embraced a different kind of flutter. No matter if you left your lashes naked or took the opportunity to try out a different, brighter shade, this year showed us that switching up our lash routine and experimenting wasn’t as daunting as it once seemed.

The good news? This trend has evolved for the festive season to give it a tinel-like twist. Say hello to ‘snow globe lashes’. The sparkly embellishment might look hard to recreate, but thanks to glitter mascara, it’s never been easier.

You can use these glitzy formulas either on their own or as a top coat to your go-to mascara if you’re not ready to let the definition of a black mascara go just quite yet. Whatever method you go for, you just need one lashing of these magic wands and you’re good to go.

Snow globe lashes are a simple way to jazz up your make-up routine, without actually changing the overall look – the antidote to the red lip that usually dominates at Christmas, and perfect if your eyeliner skills aren’t quite up to trying out the metallic eyeliner trend this festive season. Think of it as a little embellishment.

So, if you were struggling with your holiday make-up inspiration, we’ve got you covered. While glitter mascara is ideal for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, we’re petitioning to keep this trend going all year round.

Here are the best glittery formulations to inject some sparkle into your make-up routine. ’Tis the season, after all…
