The holiday season is the perfect time to add a little sparkle to your look. Remember these tips: 1. Loose shimmer or glitter on the eyelids is a dazzling holiday look. It’s as simple as applying loose shimmer alone or on top of eyeshadow. Adding a hint to the inner corner of eyes will make your eyes pop. (Makeup Forever Glitters, $15, Sephora stores, sephora.com)
2. Swap out your traditional eyeliner for one with glitter. Apply either on upper lash line, or on top of your usual liner, for a festive holiday eye. You can line bottom lash line, too, just not both! (Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliners, $19, macys.com)
3. Make sure to curl your lashes and add two coats of mascara. For best results wiggle wand from root to tips of lashes. To really make your eyes flutter, apply a strip of lashes for a flirty look. (Ardell Pro Lashes, available at drugstores)
4. Add some shine to your makeup. Make sure it is strategically placed with a brush or your fingers. Apply on the highest parts of cheeks and nose. This technique will give your face more structure and glow. (Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, $58, Sephora stores, sephora.com)
5. I love a good wine-stained lip for the holidays. Bright reds and rich berries are always in during the colder months. (Benefit Benetint, $30, ulta.com)
6. Apply a body moisturizer that has a shimmer or glow to your legs and arms to complete your look. (Jergens BB Body Skin Perfecting Cream, available at drugstores and drugstore.com)
