ON SET OF THE “WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS?” MUSIC VIDEO

TAYLOR MOMSEN
WEARS M·A·C

December 2, 2025 by Robert Quick
“Who do you call to save Christmas? You call ME. Cindy Lou Who!” exclaims Taylor Momsen. And it couldn’t be more true... The actress-turned-rockstar just dropped a gritty new cover of her timeless Christmas classic, “Where Are You Christmas?,” in celebration of the song’s 25th anniversary. To revisit one of her most iconic roles, Momsen teamed up with her band, The Pretty Reckless, to remix the holiday hit with harder riffs and invited M·A·C on the set of her new music video to unwrap all the details.

The self-proclaimed M·A·C girl, who credits her signature smoky eye look to Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Black Mirror, rocks a bold red lip and smouldering eye look that reflects her character’s rebellious spirit as well as her own. Get all the M·A·C goodies Makeup Artist Steph Gomez used on set to bring this grunge-glam look to life.

“MY VERY FIRST M·A·C PRODUCT WAS THE
BLACK MIRROR PAINT POT.
THAT WAS THE START OF THE TAYLOR
MOMSEN EYE MAKEUP.”
