This holiday season, UK cosmetics brand POP Beauty was inspired by one of the sexiest icons of all time — the 1940s pinup diva.  Its collection of eye, face and lip products totally embodies the decade’s provocative flare with sexy, sultry palettes, but it is perfect for any holiday party in the 21^st century.

The Cabaret Bouquet — a compact set of five eye shadows, matte face powder, skin highlighter (also known as blush!), bronzer and eight lip glosses — is a must-have beauty box. The eyeshadow palette has overlapping dusky shades of purple, blue and gray, perfect for concocting the smoky lid or line you can’t go wrong with this season. The face highlighter, powder and bronzer go on easy and super-thin, never appearing cakey, always effortless and natural. For lips, the glosses hit almost every shade on a spectrum, from totally nude to almost plum. They have superior staying power, so don’t be afraid to pucker up or sip champagne well into night during holiday revelry. Just be sparing with your application — the palettes are tiny and you can run out quickly.

The Pinup POP eyeshadow palette is an additional set with 12 seductive colors — everything from sandy brown to midnight blue to the blackest black — but the performance is a bit lackluster. The shadows are much lighter on your skin than they appear at first glance and wear off fast.

So for the glamorous pinup look you’ll love this holiday season, stick to the Cabaret Bouquet. At $29.50, this all-in-one beauty box is a definite steal. To order online, check out the POP Beauty website.
