Miley Cyrus’s Maybelline Holiday Look: The Glimmer Collection and Red Glam

No celebrity or brand mentioned here endorses, sponsors or is affiliated with Opeau.

On November 1, 2026, fan accounts on X started sharing new Maybelline holiday campaign images of Miley Cyrus: a red, festive look with a bold red lip and dramatic eyes. By our count, X posts mentioning Miley and Maybelline went from zero a day on October 30 and 31 to about 200 on November 1. An X News summary that day described “a shimmering red dress with bold lips and dramatic eyes.”

One thing to know first: Miley Cyrus has been Maybelline’s paid global spokesperson since September 2025, so the products she promotes are part of a paid partnership. Opeau has no relationship with Miley Cyrus or Maybelline. This guide covers what Maybelline has actually published about its 2026 holiday collection and how to put together a similar red-glam look with drugstore products.

What’s confirmed (and what isn’t)

As of November 1, Maybelline’s site doesn’t say which shades Miley wears in the new images. Until it does, any shade-by-shade breakdown you see online is a guess.

What’s in the 2026 Holiday Glimmer collection

Maybelline’s Holiday Glimmer Collection page describes a limited-edition collection “available exclusively for the 2026 holiday season,” with a light-catching, multidimensional finish on three of its best-known products:

• Lifter Liner Glimmer: four lip liner shades, made with hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil. The shades are Get Charm’d (rosy nude), Hidden Gem (deep berry-plum), Dazzling (terracotta) and On Holiday (cherry red).
• Super Stay Vinyl Ink Glimmer: six gemstone-inspired liquid lip shades that the brand says are infused with real tourmaline powder and last up to 16 hours. Four are named in the page’s shade guide: Tourmaline, Amethyst, Citrine and Red Sapphire.
• Lash Sensational Sky High Silver Chrome: a waterproof mascara in a metallic pearl finish, infused with bamboo extract.

Maybelline says all three use vegan formulas, meaning no animal-derived ingredients. Because the collection is limited edition, check Maybelline’s site or your usual retailer for availability. The brand lists Amazon, Ulta, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Target as places to buy it.

How to get a red-glam holiday look

Maybelline’s page includes two holiday looks. “Chromed Out Eyes” pairs Tattoo Studio Liner in Sparkling Silver with Sky High Silver Chrome. “Candy Red Lips” pairs Lifter Liner in Main Character with Vinyl Ink in Wicked. The steps below combine those suggestions with our own, and each step is labeled so you can tell which is which.

1. Prep and brighten (our suggestion). Start with your usual moisturizer and let it settle. Dot concealer under the eyes and around the nose, then blend. That’s where Miley says she uses Instant Age Rewind in Maybelline’s campaign material.
2. Eyes (Maybelline’s suggestion). For a festive eye, Maybelline suggests lining with a silver liner. If you want something softer, a smudged brown or black liner also works with a red lip (our suggestion).
3. Mascara (Maybelline’s suggestion, adapted). Maybelline pairs the look with Sky High Silver Chrome. If you can’t find it, the permanent Sky High in Very Black gives you the same lengthening formula with a classic finish.
4. Liner and red lip (Maybelline’s suggestion). Outline and fill in your lips with a red liner such as Main Character, then apply a long-wear red liquid lip over the top. Maybelline uses Vinyl Ink in Wicked. Red Hot is a permanent-range option.
5. Set and blot (our suggestion). Let the lip color dry fully before pressing your lips together. Clean up the edges with a little concealer on a flat brush.
6. Remove gently (our suggestion). At the end of the night, use micellar water or an oil-based remover. That’s what the Vinyl Ink listing recommends.

Picking a red for your undertone

Maybelline gives shade advice by undertone for the Glimmer collection. For cool undertones, it suggests Lifter Liner Glimmer in Get Charm’d or Hidden Gem with Vinyl Ink Glimmer in Tourmaline or Amethyst. For warm undertones, it suggests Dazzling with Citrine. For neutral undertones, it calls On Holiday (cherry red) with Red Sapphire “versatile choices.”

This is purely about color, and it’s only a starting point. If you aren’t sure of your undertone, swatch reds on your lips rather than the back of your hand, and look at them in daylight.

The products

Holiday Glimmer shades are limited edition, so the picks below come from Maybelline’s permanent ranges, plus one sister-brand remover. Garnier, like Maybelline, is owned by L’Oreal.

Sky High is the mascara Miley calls “my go-to” in Maybelline’s campaign material. Very Black is the washable, everyday version, not the holiday chrome.

Red Hot is described on its listing as a “vibrant, fiery true red.” It’s the simplest way to get a classic holiday red from the Vinyl Ink range.

Main Character is the red liner Maybelline uses in its own Candy Red Lips look. Lining first helps keep a glossy red within your lip line.

The Eraser concealer is one of the three products Miley names in Maybelline’s campaign material. Pick your shade on the listing.

This micellar water from Garnier, a sister L’Oreal brand, is made for waterproof makeup. It fits the Vinyl Ink listing’s advice to use micellar water or an oil-based remover.

Long-wear lip tips

We researched these tips from brand and listing guidance and general makeup practice:

• Prep: Start with smooth, dry lips. If you use balm, blot off the extra before applying a liquid lip so the color can grip.
• Shake: Shake liquid lip colors like Vinyl Ink before use so the color comes out evenly.
• Let it dry: Give the color a minute or two before pressing your lips together or eating or drinking.
• Remove gently: Hold a pad soaked in micellar water or an oil-based remover on your lips for a few seconds, then wipe. Don’t scrub.
