The holidays have arrived and it’s time to get all glammed up!

One way to be sure you are turning heads when you walk in that holiday party is to play up your eyes.  Try using metallic silvers, golds, greens, blues and copper for boldness.  Second, build on whatever you choose using a deep black shadow to smoke the creases and corner of the eyes for intensity.  Third,  line using a black liquid liner or a black matte pencil to complete your stargazing look.  Don’t forget to accessorize with blush, mascara and gloss.  Last,  here are a few of my favorite things for this holiday season and great stocking stuffers

ULTA  Baked Eye shadows.  They are packaged with one solid color and one mystical color for fun.  Their textures are consistent and long lasting.  They retail at $15.

ULTA  Kabuki Brush.  This travel size brush is a perfect little gift for the woman on the go.  It retails for $6.30

CARGO Metallico Eye Pencil Set.  Here are the perfect pencils to create that holiday stargazing look above.  These creamy, blend-able and glittery pencils are easy to use and waterproof.  This set retails for $24.

Philosophy has five Flavored Lip Shines in Melon, Vanilla Birthday Cake, Mimosa, Coconut and Raspberry for those delectable cravings.  All retail for $10.

Now that you have what you need to complete your look with that holiday dress and some great finds for the fashionista, it’s time to celebrate.

Happy Makeup,
