Following Jonathan Anderson’s iconic debut womenswear collection for Dior, the black leather Médaillon belt became one of the accessories fashion lovers have been desperate to get their hands on. Its oversized, antique gold-finish buckle brought the elegance of an 18th-century Rococo salon to a simple black strap, with an exquisitely engraved Dior signature, textured detailing and a delicate bow.
Now, that same bow-topped emblem is making its way onto the Christmas beauty wish list. Created by Peter Philips, Dior’s Cinnamon Glaze makeup collection pairs honey and cinnamon tones with frosted shimmer and sparkling lips. From a keepsake-style lip balm to beautifully embossed palettes, these are the pieces to wrap up for the beauty lovers in your life.
For the Fashion Lover
The standout gift of the collection, this limited-edition lip balm brings the Médaillon motif into a gold-coloured oval case topped with a bow. Inside is a shimmering pink balm with a glitter finish; outside, it has the decorative appeal of a miniature fashion accessory. For someone who admired the belt, this offers another way to enjoy the emblem. This is a keepsake piece that makes a quick touch-up feel extra special.
For the One Who Loves a Glow
Dior Forever Glow Luminizer – £62
A gold-coloured compact, an intricately embossed powder and a luminous finish make this a particularly pretty addition to a dressing table. The holiday shade, 029 Frozen Médaillon, combines peach colour with golden pearlescence, while the Médaillon and cannage detailing give the powder its collectible appeal. A lovely choice for someone whose makeup always starts with perfectly glowing skin.
For the Eyeshadow Enthusiast
Diorshow 5 Couleurs – £62 each
Two limited-edition palettes offer different approaches to festive makeup. Warm copper, rose and brown tones suggest softly defined eyes for candlelit dinners, while cool silver, pale blue and neutrals invite a more frosted evening look. Both feature decorative embossing. Choose the warmer composition for the friend who lives in bronze eyeshadow, or the cooler palette for someone who enjoys experimenting with shimmer, which is perfect for the winter party season.
For the Party-Season Planner
Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo – £44
For the person whose December diary is already filling up, this is a fitting finishing touch. The colour develops a glittering finish when the lips are pressed together, with a gloss at the other end to layer on top. It offers two ways to play with shine in one product, making it an appealing gift for anyone who likes their evening makeup to sparkle.
For the Lipstick Collector
Rouge Dior, Limited Edition – £44
A classic lipstick with a festive flourish. The bullet is decorated with the Médaillon and Dior’s cannage motif, adding a beautiful detail to the familiar black-and-silver case. This is an easy choice for the friend who always has a lipstick in her handbag and appreciates the pleasure of opening a particularly special new one.
For the Blush Devotee
Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick, Limited Edition – £37
The seasonal Rosy Glow Stick brings another playful option to the makeup edit. Its portable format makes it a neat little gift for someone who loves a cheek-colour moment, and an attractive addition to a stocking filled with beauty treats.
For the Manicure Lover
Dior Vernis, Limited Edition – £30
A small gift with plenty of appeal, the limited-edition Dior Vernis makes a thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys changing her nail colour with the season. Give it on its own as a little Dior indulgence, or pair it with a lipstick for a perfectly coordinated beauty gift.
