The Dior Holiday Makeup Collection 2026 Is All About Cinnamon Glaze & Glitter Lips

Peter Philips takes inspiration from gingerbread, glazed confections and the magic of 30 Avenue Montaigne for Dior's Cinnamon Glaze holiday collection, fronted by Deva Cassel.

Forget the predictable festive red lip for a moment. This holiday season, Dior is serving something considerably sweeter. Cinnamon-dusted eyelids, caramel browns, frosted blue shimmer and lips that sparkle at the slightest press: welcome to Cinnamon Glaze, Dior Makeup's Holiday 2026 collection.

Dreamed up by Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, the collection takes its inspiration from the maison's legendary 30 Avenue Montaigne address, reimagined as a fantastical gingerbread house for the festive season. And while the inspiration might sound like something straight out of a Christmas fairytale, the makeup itself feels surprisingly wearable. There are two distinct moods at play: warm, gourmand shades that flatter the eyes with golden honey and toasted cinnamon, and cooler, icy metallics for anyone who prefers their holiday glamour with a little more edge.

“For this holiday season's look, you can be festive, delightful and delicious in cool tones or in warm tones, matte, luminous or sparkling!” says Philips. “This collection is a real treat, like a guilty pleasure. Enjoy!”

If there's one product destined to steal the spotlight, it's the Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo.

The double-ended lipstick comes in ten new shades, ranging from 100 Sweet Nude and 729 Biscuit, a soft rosewood, to 973 Sweet Spice, a deep brownish red, and 966 Red Velvet, an intense purple-toned red. But the real attraction is the finish.

One end delivers a highly pigmented, transfer-resistant liquid lipstick that reveals a sparkling effect when the lips are pressed together. The other contains a clear gloss that can be layered over the colour for even more shine.

It's a clever little party trick, particularly for anyone who likes their makeup to make an entrance. Philips describes the new shades as ranging “from delicate nudes to bolder and deeper rosewoods and reds, but all with a spectacular sparkling finish that reveals itself after pinching your lips.”

For a more traditional lipstick, Rouge Dior returns in four limited-edition shades, including 232 Glazed Peach, a pearlescent peach with rose-gold shimmer; 297 Glazed Violet, an iridescent violet with blue reflects; and 833 Cinnamon Kiss, a warm cinnamon nude with a velvet finish.

Even the packaging gets dressed for the occasion, with Dior's signature cannage motif and Médaillon detailing.

The collection's two Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes offer very different interpretations of festive beauty. 623 Cinnamon Glaze is the obvious choice for lovers of warm-toned makeup. Think biscuit brown, caramelised orange, golden honey and soft nude shades that can be worn as a subtle wash of colour or built into something richer for evening.

Then there's 926 Frosted Delights, which takes the opposite approach. Icy blues, antique gold, satin beige and highly pigmented silver make for a decidedly cooler palette. It's the sort of colour combination that could look particularly striking with barely-there skin and a softly defined lip.

Matching Diorshow Stylo pencils complete both looks, with 979 Pearly Brown offering a glittering chocolate shade and 236 Pearly Blue introducing a shimmering sky-blue accent. And if you've been waiting for an excuse to revisit metallic eye makeup, consider this your invitation.

Holiday makeup wouldn't be complete without a generous helping of glow (at least in our household). The Dior Forever Glow Luminizer arrives in 029 Frozen Médallion, a peach-toned highlighting powder with golden shimmer, while the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick introduces two playful shades.

873 Pink Delight is a vibrant pink, while 172 Frosted Blue looks decidedly unconventional in the stick but transforms into a pink-toned finish on the cheeks, thanks to the formula's pH-responsive colour technology. The result is a collection that encourages a little experimentation without abandoning the polished complexion Dior is known for.

The gourmand theme extends all the way to the fingertips. Dior Vernis appears in two limited-edition shades: 713 Frosted Gold, a spiced golden glitter, and 767 Golden Cinnamon, a cooler frosted gold.

Both are designed to complement the collection's eye palettes, making the case for coordinating makeup without looking overly matched.

Deva Cassel Brings Dior's Holiday Fantasy to Life

Fronting the campaign is Deva Cassel, who embodies the collection's two contrasting beauty looks. Warm Glaze pairs cinnamon-toned eyes and nails with sparkling nude-beige lips, while Frosted Glaze takes a more dramatic direction with metallic blue and silver eyes, glittering brick-red lips and golden nails.

Set against the fantasy of Dior's transformed 30 Avenue Montaigne, the campaign leans fully into the pleasure of festive dressing up.
