Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
The Nutcracker is the pièce de résistance of the winter ballet season. Most ballerinas only dream of dancing the highly coveted role of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but beauty icon and former ballerina Hailey Bieber did at 16 years old. Why am I telling you this? The storied character has served as major inspo for Bieber's recent beauty looks. I think her festive take is a sweeter version of the balletcore makeup we've been seeing this year. Think dewy, rosy cheeks, a frosty highlight, and shimmery, petal-pink lips—all inspired by the Sugar Plum Fairy's pink and purple tutu, glistening crown, and satin pointe shoes. As a ballet dancer, I knew this would become my go-to look for the holiday season. Keep reading to see all the products you need to re-create this iconic vibe.
This is the exact blush Bieber used in her tutorial. She went for the shade Fleurotique, a rich, cool rose.
Rhode's limited edition Peptide Jelly Bean Lip Tint has a shimmery, baby-pink color and sweet, delightfully nostalgic jelly bean flavor. I can't get enough.
Plums can actually plump your skin. The juicy, antioxidant-rich fruit hydrates, nourishes, and rejuvenates. This serum has three different plums (Kakadu, Illawarra, and Burdekin) and all five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid.
Bieber applied this concealer to brighten and blur her under-eyes, so obviously, it's a go-to in my makeup bag now. I love how it's full coverage but feels weightless on the skin.
A white, shimmery eye shadow creates a beautiful snowflake effect on the lids and cheeks. I'm entranced by this Crystal Reflector highlight from renowned makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic.
Go ahead—treat yourself to a Chanel nail polish. This pink-plum shade is so Sugar Plum Fairy.
An unexpected product Bieber reached for was an eye gloss. It adds a natural shine and dewiness to the lids. I tried it myself, and now I'm hooked.
If you want to know the exact lip liner Bieber used, it's this one in the shade Cork. It's a cult-loved favorite for a reason.
The purple, pink, and white shades in this prismatic highlighter are en pointe for Sugar Plum Fairy makeup. It even has opal powder to illuminate the skin.
Haus Labs highlighters are elite—the gel-powder formula has a dreamy, diffused finish. I'm swooning over the Rose Quartz shade.
This silky-smooth balm belongs in The Nutcracker's Land of Sweets. It has a sheer pink color and a delectable buttercream and sugar scent.
Lip liner helps achieve a perfectly sharp outline. Hailey Bieber loves this $15 best seller, so you know it's legit.
Adorable faux freckles are a thing all year round. This pen makes dotting them on a breeze.
This blush melts into your skin and imparts a natural, dewy flush.
Get fluffy, snatched brows in an instant with this gel.
Bieber loves this skin tint. It has hyaluronic acid and squalane to deliver a fresh, my-skin-but-better glow.
An enchanting blend of black plum and tonka bean make this fragrance one to remember.
I'm adding some sparkle to my updos with this gorgeous glittering hair clip.
Bieber put on a few coats of this mascara to add effortless length and volume to her lashes.
Glaze your complexion with Rhode's signature gel serum.
Dreamy notes of mirabelle plum, oakmoss, and freesia feel so delicate and enchanting, just like the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Everyone I know is in love with this satin champagne highlight.
Dior's iconic lip oil is a must-have. I'm reaching for the rich berry shade for the perfect high-shine, sugar plum pout.
Talk about a bespoke fragrance. The fruity and floral top notes mingle so elegantly with the base of prune, cedar wood, and vetiver.
Wild plum and cinnamon blended with patchouli leaf give this candle a sweet, woody aroma that feels so right for the winter.
A deep plum shade is so dramatic and eye-catching.
Every single product from Lawless Beauty's Forget the Filler line is pure gold, but for the holidays, I'll be reaching for the tinted lip balm in the shade Sugar Plum.
Rare Beauty blushes are a favorite for a reason. They're weightless, long-lasting, and highly pigmented. If you're doing Sugar Plum Fairy makeup, I'd go for the shade Happy.
This TikTok-famous styling cream is key for achieving slicked-back ballet buns. I also adore the sweet, fruity scent.
Layer the Rhode Jelly Bean Lip Tint over this plum-rose lipstick. Also, can we talk about the gold bow packaging? That seals the deal for me.
