Festive Looks That Bring the Cheer

This is your month to go all out on the glam—because there’s no such thing as too much sparkle. Start with a Thanksgiving makeup look that plays with warm tones and soft shimmer, or pair your cranberry sauce with Thanksgiving nail art that rivals the dessert table. Need a little styling inspo? Try one of our easy Thanksgiving hairstyles that transition seamlessly from hosting duty to couch nap.

For those who believe beauty starts skin deep (and maybe in the kitchen), don’t sleep on our guide to Thanksgiving ingredients that are good for your skin—pumpkin, cranberries, and honey aren’t just holiday staples; they’re glow boosters.

Beauty That Feels Like a Gift

Whether you’re getting a head start on holiday shopping or just treating yourself (you’ve earned it), we’re making gifting ridiculously easy this year. You can now gift an IPSY subscription—the present that keeps on playing beauty month after month. And if you love surprises, our 2025 Beauty Advent Calendar is officially live (spoiler alert: it’s packed with 25 days of must-have products).

For a little extra fun, try our Advent Calendar Games, because half the joy of opening beauty minis every morning is guessing what’s next.

Glam That Goes the Distance

With so many soirées and snapshots ahead, longwear is officially the season’s MVP. Our types of mascara guide breaks down which formulas will lift, lengthen, or survive the dance floor, while our picks from the November Mega Drop Shop offer the ultimate upgrade for your party makeup stash.
