Page 2 | Is anyone else getting excited for Christmas glam?

I never do my makeup day to day, I love doing it but there just isn’t time in the morning before work. So doing a full face of glam gets me so excited! I’ve got lots on over the Christmas period too, so it’ll be really nice to get dressed up a lot

Next weekend I'll try and be glam as got a girls day out.

Christmas Day we all wear nice clothes and do hair and makeup for Christmas Dinner.

I do make an effort - I put makeup on each day, have clean hair etc., but I don’t curl it everyday or do a full face (with eyeshadow, foundation, contour and bronzer etc), because I’d have to be up at 5

You're being unreasonable because you don't make an effort the rest of the time

Ahhh i hope you have a great time over the festive period and enjoy the glamming up but women aren’t jealous of the glam seriously what a crap comment

I’ve been there and done through my teens,20s and 30s it and loved xmas nights out. But i’m 46, alcohol makes me ill if i drink more than a couple. If i don’t go to bed before a certain time i don’t sleep. So it may be boring but ive become a homebody.

There can be both glam and homebodies.

I never mentioned the word jealous.

Same.

It’s not rocket science, OP. And the jealous women trope is so fucking dated.

Show quote history

I never said they were jealous. But I do think some people will piss on it because they don’t know how to do it/can’t be bothered, so they look down on those who can

Ah mate, came on to say ‘enjoy getting ready - it’s often the best parking a night out! Get your gladrags on’ and then you had to go and piss on some yet to be served chips!

Nope we do chrisrmas at home and I don't associate glam make up with christmas
Will be a day in lazy clothes or pj's no make up nothing I dont think the christmas dinner will care if I have a face on glam either tbh

I would love to be able to do good smoky eye make up. Sadly I can't. Still trying to find a decent outfit for our Xmas night out. Most of the ladies I go with do all out sparkling outfit but sparkles especially silver, and I resemble the turkey about to go in the oven.

Black flattering outfit with sparkly accessories 😊

Ah I love getting all done up, even for Christmas Day at home I’ll do a blow out and full glam makeup 😂 I have done since I was a teenager!

Hell yeah! Me too myself my sisters and friends used to get so done up for christmas eve and go out everyone in their finest! X

Grapewrath · 29/11/2025 15:34

The thought of going out in full glam gives me the fear. Yanbu though- that was the best part of going out when I was younger!
Sadly I’m very a walk and homebody now

I always do a fake Smokey eye. And I always do it first, before any base makeup. You can cover up a multitude of sins with foundation

Meh, let them. The vast majority of people who look down on women who enjoy getting glam do so because they don’t know how to do it themselves!

I like to make an effort at Christmas too. Obviously if going out etc but even if just home for Christmas with just DH and DS. As children we always had new clothes to wear in Christmas Day and my parents and grandparents etc would all have made an effort too. I was brought up in Ireland so most people would have gone to mass in the morning so would dress well for that.

This is mumsnst where people love to be miserable, hate weddings, don’t celebrate birthdays and in general view fun with suspicion. Don’t have high expectations. 😀

And yes, I can’t wait for some Christmas glam!

lol very true

I really enjoy doing glam but very rarely have a reason to!

You might have more luck moving this to Style & Beauty, OP. AIBU attracts a lot of posters very ready to piss on your parade.

I don’t really wear makeup, on a special occasion i’ll push the boat out and do a bit of eyeliner and lippy 😂 but my skin is nice and I’m lazy so this isn’t something I can ever be arsed with.
I’ve got a couple of nice things to wear though for some Christmas nights out so I that’ll be nice.
on Christmas Day I’ll be found in leggings and a sweatshirt racing round the house like a madman, no makeup on either!
i’m just not very glam.

Same here. I'm looking for a new lounge wear set of pyjamas for Christmas Day! I am excited for some time off to do full on pampering baths with a facemask, body scrub and hair mask.
