Balllet Magic on the Lids: Ariana Grande Launches the Holiday Makeup Collection Everyone Has Been Waiting For

If you’ve ever watched Ariana Grande perform and wondered, “How can I recreate that gorgeous, luminous eye makeup?”, you finally have your answer. r.e.m. beauty has unveiled its new holiday collection, En Pointe — and the very eyeshadows Ariana wore during her The Eternal Sunshine Tour are now available for everyone.

If you’ve ever watched Ariana Grande perform and wondered, “How can I recreate that gorgeous, luminous eye makeup?”, you finally have your answer. r.e.m. beauty has unveiled its new holiday collection, En Pointe — and the very eyeshadows Ariana wore during her The Eternal Sunshine Tour are now available for everyone.

The collection’s name, inspired by ballet en pointe, perfectly captures its mood. Think cool lilac shades, satin mauve tones, delicate tulle pinks, silver shimmer and the overall atmosphere of a winter ballet fairy tale. It’s the kind of holiday makeup that doesn’t need to be loud to make an impression — sometimes, an elegant shimmer is all you need.

The Same Eyeshadows Ariana Wore on Stage

The star of the En Pointe collection is the Prima Palette, featuring six shades with velvety matte and duochrome finishes. These are the very shades fans spotted on Ariana during her The Eternal Sunshine Tour.

The palette quickly became one of the most talked-about products in the collection. It’s easy to see why: the combination of matte textures and duochrome shimmer makes it possible to create everything from a delicate daytime look to a much more dramatic evening makeup style.

According to the brand, the formula blends easily, offers long-lasting wear and helps minimize fallout. In other words, that “I didn’t really do anything special, my eyes just happen to sparkle like this” effect is now a little easier to achieve.

En Pointe Is About More Than Just Eyes

The holiday capsule features seven products, so r.e.m. beauty decided not to stop at its star eyeshadow palette.

Satin Slumber Lip Mask is an overnight lip mask with a pleasant gourmand scent. Its formula contains lactic acid, collagen and a peptide complex. The treatment is designed to provide long-lasting hydration and leave lips looking smoother and softer.

For eye makeup, the brand has also created the Frost & Flutter Eye Makeup Set. The set includes a luminous duochrome liquid eyeshadow designed to resist creasing, along with the Triple Threat Mascara. The mascara formula contains a peptide complex and red clover, ingredients the brand associates with the appearance of fuller, lifted lashes.

Blush for a Soft-Focus Cheek Effect

The Ballet Rosé Blush Palette also deserves special attention. Its three creamy shades are designed for easy application and a delicate, softly diffused flush of color.

The result perfectly matches the overall aesthetic of the collection: no harsh lines, excessive graphic effects or heavy makeup feel. The skin should look fresh, while the blush appears natural — almost as if you have just walked out of a ballet studio after rehearsal.

Another particularly interesting option is the Melange a Trois Blush Highlight Stick. Blush and highlighter are combined in a single creamy stick. Simply swipe it across the cheeks and blend with your fingers or a brush to achieve both a touch of color and a subtle glow.

Little Glosses for Big Holiday Plans

For those who want to try the products first, there’s the Gloss Barre Mini Glossy Balm Set. The mini set includes two shades of glossy balm enriched with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.

The collection is rounded out by the Sweet Dreams Eyeshadow Singlet, another option for anyone who can’t imagine a holiday look without a touch of shimmer on the lids.

A Palette That Easily Goes from the Stage to the Party

The best thing about En Pointe is that the collection doesn’t feel like a lineup of cosmetics reserved exclusively for New Year’s Eve. Its cool lilac, pink, plum and silver shades can easily be adapted for everyday makeup.

Use a matte eyeshadow as a base, add a touch of duochrome shimmer to the center of the lid, and you instantly have a more expressive eye look. And if you’re heading to a party, concert or festive dinner, simply turn up the shimmer without worrying that the makeup will look too understated.

Essentially, r.e.m. beauty is offering its own take on modern holiday beauty: not “the more sparkle, the better,” but “let the light gently glide across the skin.”

How Much Does This Ballet Fairy Tale Cost?

Prices for the new En Pointe Collection start at $24 and go up to $44 USD. The collection is already available through the official r.e.m. beauty website.

And it looks like holiday makeup is taking on a new mood this season. Fewer heavy textures, more luminosity, soft transitions and cool pastel shades. And if this makeup has already passed the stage test on Ariana Grande during her tour, there will likely be plenty of fans eager to recreate her look.
