SHIMMER: There’s a
reason we love tinsel on Christmas trees and strings of lights around our
homes: They make everything look beautifully glowing. The same is true for
highlighting makeup. To get your own shimmer, sweep a glittering powder over
your cheekbones, below your brow bone and on the inner corner of your eyes. If
your skin is light, reach for a pink-based highlighter, while medium- to
dark-skinned women should try golden tones. And if you aren’t one for heavy
makeup but still want to do a little something special for your Christmas party
or dinner , then the subtle shimmer is the perfect option. The final look is
rather demure and looks natural, but gives you that pop that you want.

BROWS: Brows do so
much to frame your face that simply grooming them, which includes combing the
hairs and filling in bare spots, will give you a prompt pick-me-up. Try any of
the handy brow-grooming kits which comes equipped with mini tweezers, stencils,
a mirror, and brow powder, pencil, brush, and wax for a complete touch-up.

FRENCH MANICURE: What
better nod to the holidays than a French manicure revamped with luminescent
versions of the standard pink and white colors? You’ll get the same effect but
with an extra twinkle accompanying every gesture.

PRETTY PONYTAIL: The
ponytail might be your everyday hairdo, but you’ll be amazed how well it can
pretty up your holiday look. To achieve extra volume, tease the hair at the
crown for extra volume before securing it at the nape of the neck. A beautiful
finishing touch is to pull a strand of hair from the ponytail and bring it
around the elastic.

EYELINER: Black
liner swept across the top lid makes a bold yet elegant statement that needs
very little else. The trick is to swap your pencil for a liquid or gel liner. Close
the eye and, starting at the inner corner, move the line outward and wing it
slightly at the end. If you have trouble holding your hand steady, create
little dashes along the lash line and go back and connect them. Stick to a
neutral tone on the rest of the lid.

LUSCIOUS LIPS: Use
some gold and red metallic pigment on top of your red lipstick for a richer,
almost velvety look. Not only does it look great, but it’ll also help set the
lipstick so that it lasts longer.

ORANGE IS THE NEW
BLACK: You don’t necessarily have to stick with Christmas colors; this
illuminating orange-gold makes a bold statement without being too obvious at
the same time.

CHRISTMAS COLORS: There’s
nothing more ‘Christmassy’ than red, green and gold, so why not apply that to
your eyes for some truly festive eye shadow? We love how this look incorporates
all the colors without actually looking to dramatic or overdone at the end.

BLUSH; When it
comes to getting holiday pretty, blush is non-negotiable. Amp up your natural
rosiness by mixing complementary blush colors, one darker and one lighter. Or
start off light with the paler shade in the compact and tweak it by layering
its darker counterpart over it.

SHORT HAIR: Short
hair can be styled just as glamorously as long hair, but in half the time!
“Most boyish haircuts now have feminine features, such as softer pieces
around the face. Bring attention to your short ‘do by working a styling product
through your hair with your fingers.

GREEN EYES: A
simple green eye shadow can make an incredible impression, but instead of
simply sweeping one tone across your entire lid, create a more varied look with
some beautiful depth of color such as gold and purple. A whole new way to make
up your eyes, that’s what! A color
that’s this multitextured will work harder for you, too. The trick is to
contain it between the lid and the crease. Don’t take it up to the brow bone,
and if you go overboard, soften the color with a makeup sponge.

BURGUNDY NAILS: They’re
definitely not low maintenance, but burgundy-colored nails are your holiday
must-have for instant drama. Richer than red and more wearable than the black
nail polish .Burgundy has a modern feel that will never go out of style.

LIP GLOSS: Shiny
lips are always pretty, but when the shades are pale (think peach, pink, and
coral) and flecked with shimmer, they merit a top spot in your makeup case.
Pair this lip with a smoky eyes.
