All-Weather Looks

WHETHER YOU'RE BOUND FOR A WINTER WONDERLAND OR A BALMIER CLIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, WE'VE GOT YOUR PARTY-PERFECT LOOK.

BY CHRISTINA KALLERY —

COOL LOOK: SILVER CHIC

"The winter holiday season is all about touches of icy, shimmery makeup on eyes and lips. It's a great time to be a little more glamorous and dramatic," says makeup artist Bobbi Brown.

FOR A PARTY-READY LOOK, try a cool-toned smoky eye. Start by applying silver, lilac or gray metallic shadow to the entire lid. You can do a sheer wash for a bit of color or layer them for a liquid metal effect.

NEXT, LINE THE UPPER LID with a charcoal or black liner, extending the line from the inner to outer corner of the eye.

FOR ADDED DRAMA, blend shadow along your lower lash line. Finish the look with mascara.

PAIR THIS SMOKY LOOK with a deep, iridescent port-colored lip.

WARM LOOK: GOLD GLAM

"Metallic earthy tones add shimmer to a sun-kissed look," says MUD makeup artist Yvonne Hawker.

SMOOTH A PALE NEUTRAL SHADE over the entire lid and brow bone, then add a bit of contrast with a moss green shade. Blend a shimmering bronze into the crease.

FOR A HINT OF DEFINITION, use a brown eye pencil just at the lash line and soften with a brush. Finish with black mascara.

APPLY POWDER or cream cheek color in a warm bronze shade that works with your skin tone.

KEEP THE LIP NEUTRAL with a natural-toned liner. Fill in the lip and top with shimmering gloss.
