If the gold glitter look is too much for you (even for the holidays), this black smokey eye with a pop of color will make you go ‘WOW’.

Step 1: Grab your favorite blending brush. Take a light brown eyeshadow and place it above the crease. This will be your transition color.

Step 2: Take a black matte eyeshadow and apply it to the crease.

Step 3: Take a gel eyeliner and pat it all over your lid. You can also use it as a base for any eyeshadow color – a black base will make the colors pop like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Next, using a shader brush pack the black eyeshadow from the last step all over the gel liner.

Step 4: Take a clean blending brush and blend until everything looks perfectly blended. This might take a while.

Step 5: Line the bottom lash line with the gel liner and smoke it out with the transition shade you’ve used in the step #1. Highlight the inner corner of the eye, apply purple eye pencil to the lower waterline and finish the look by applying false lashes.

12. Black Liner + Red Lips

Let’s face it, many of us will not have the time to experiment with different makeup looks. Instead we will opt for a look that is simple, easy to do yet looks amazing – cat eye &  bold lips. You simply can’t go wrong with a winged eyeliner and red matte lips for the holidays. For this look, you will need only four products: black liquid eyeliner, mascara, nude liner for the waterline and a red lipstick.

13. Gold Glitter Eyes + Pink Lips

Step 1: Prime your eyelids to enhance the colors and keep the makeup in place. Apply a nude or light brown eyeshadow all over your lid. This shade will be your base. With a flat smudge brush, apply a medium-dark brown shade as a transition color.

Step 3: With an angled brush, apply a dark brown shade in the crease.

Step 4: Blend, blend, blend!

Step 5: Take a concealer and carve out the crease.

Step 6: Apply a copper eyeshadow over the concealer with a flat eyeshadow brush.

Step 7: Apply a glitter glue to your eyelid then pack a  copper glitter on top of it.

Step 8: Apply a winged liner, highlight the inner corner of the eyes, and smoke out the lower lash line. Complete the look with a pair of wispy eyelashes.
