When it comes to party make-up inspiration, Holly Willoughby is the tastemaker many look to. From sparkling smokey eyes to a stand-out red lip, Holly’s seasonal black tie glam always ticks boxes.
While Holly often likes to keep things barely-there and wearable in the make-up department, the This Morning presenter is not afraid of playing up a smoky eye look, trying out a bold lip or adding a touch of party-ready sparkle to her look. Luckily for us, we rarely have to mull over what products Holly uses for long as her go-to make-up artist's Instagram page is a mine of beauty credits.
Thanks to Holly's make-up artist Patsy O’Neill, we often get the inside scoop on the products most often used to achieve Holly’s best make-up looks. From the £16 lip gloss she loves to the bronzer that's often behind her glow, Holly's headling-making beauty looks are there for the taking.
Holly herself likes to share which beauty buys she can't be without on her own lifestyle blog Wylde Moon. Sharing 'lifestyle and guidance to help you reconnect with yourself,' it's Holly's hub of all things beauty and wellness.

We've done the hard work for you and edited down the best of Holly's must-have make-up products to help you shimmer and shine the Willoughby way this party season.

Patsy used this pigmented eyeshadow palette on Holly’s eyes for both Dancing on Ice and the NTAs red carpet and we think it’s perfect for the party season ahead too. With sumptuous gold and warm rosy tones, it’s both ultra flattering and uber glam.
