It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Parties, friend gatherings, and family dinners are about to take over your life, and you don’t want to look anything less than trendy! This is especially true for those Christmas parties where you’ll be captured in every photo angle possible. With our aid, however, you don’t have to worry as we’ve scoured all the rising trends for winter 2018 and found the best looks for you this holiday season.

Emeralds and Glitter

When the holidays come rolling around, there is a constant struggle between trying to have a festive look and not wearing red and green. While it’s true those two colors are complementary and festive, it can be a struggle to make them work cohesively when it comes to makeup. That is why one of the most popular looks of this year is green and silver, which lies in between being festive and still looking fabulous! Emerald shades paired with silver are making a blast in the beauty world with the greens staying in theme with the season while silver creates a pop of shine or glitter. Add a nude lip and you’re ready to go rock your office Christmas party!

Glow It Up!

Arm yourself with highlighters and glow-up materials because it’s the Bronze Age again! Having a glowing look is great for parties and get-togethers where you want a bit of extra attention. Keeping your eye shadow pallet primarily in neutral and gold tones with a defining bronzer and attention-grabbing highlighter is perfect for any high-energy party. Getting that dewy, golden glow is one of the top looks that is happening this season, especially during the holidays where the bright lights really make you shine! Finish the look with a light pink or red lip for some color, and your glow-up is ready.

Classic Never Goes Out

Now, this is for all the party-goers who, like us, have waited until the last minute for some Christmas makeup inspiration. If you ever find yourself in a pinch for a makeup look–not just during Christmas–remember these words: “When in doubt, cat-eye it out!” A classic cat-eye paired with a bold red lip is an undisputed staple of the beauty industry. This makeup look is so versatile, it can go with everything from holiday looks to a night out on the town. The red lip keeps you in tune with the festivities, and the cat-eye goes with nearly any outfit that you have in mind. Swoop on your favorite mascara to really show off your eyes and you’re all set.

Conclusion

The holiday season is perfect for showing off all of your beautiful features. Your natural beauty is your best accessory, and with the use of any of the aforementioned looks, your favorite features will really be on display. You’re guaranteed to be the center of attention at any event you attend, so pick your look and wear it with confidence
