However, if you're the type of girl who's squeamish around eye shadow, runs from any type of glitter, and would never even attempt a red lip, you might be wondering how to turn your makeup look up a notch when it comes time for those annual holiday get togethers and new years parties this year.
Colored eyeliner is something I love to use all year round, but especially around the holidays. Purples, teals, and deep blues are my favorites and are an easy way to play up your eyes and liven up your look without being overly dramatic. In fact, I love pairing a very natural eye and lip with a pop of color on the lower lash and water line, as Jessica Biel recently did at the Museum of Modern Art 2013 Film Benefit. She looked stunning, and I just loved how the pairing of the turquoise liner and the chunky gold necklace just seemed to make her hazel eyes sparkle.
You can also switch it up and use colored liner on your top lash line or even extend it out into a wing for a more dramatic cat eye, as seen on the runways this fall.
Thinking about trying this look out? One of my favorite colored eyeliners, the NYX Slide On Glide On Definitely A Turn On Waterproof Extreme Shine Eye Liner in Azure, is a perfect match (and stays on all day!). They come in a variety of colors, so have fun experimenting this season!
Stay tuned for more holiday favorites this December! ;)
