How do I make my eyes really pop at a holiday party?

When it comes to holiday makeup, it’s all about glitz and glamour, so opt for eye makeup with lots of sparkle 'n' shine.
From silver glitter to gold mascara, we’ve found some holiday-worthy goodies to make your pretty peepers dazzle at your next party!
Go completely eye-catching with full-on glitter. Add a touch on top of any shadow. Plus, you could use a dab on top of gloss, on your shoulders or in your hair.

You don’t have to stick with metallics to go glittery this season. Look for colorful, sparkle-infused cream shadows to amp up eyes in a flash. Or, rock just the glitter liner for a hint of glam. Line just the inner rim of the eye for a more subtle look. Pop on some mascara, and keep your lips neutral.

Go for the gold…on your lashes that is! Perfect for any party, gold-flecked mascara can really make your eyes shine. Layer gold mascara over your regular black, or sweep the color just across the tips of your lashes. For a high drama effect, wear the shade from root to tip.

Don’t wanna go for ultra-fierce sparkles? A shimmery shadow is more low-key, but just as pretty. This navy hue is way trendy as a thick liner, or subtly swept across your lids.
