1. Shimmery Smokey Eyes and Eyeliner. In order to add a festive vibe to your traditional smokey eye look, add a shimmery eye shadow on top of your eye lids or glitter eyeliner to create an outstanding set of eyes.

2. Cat Eye and Bold Lips. This is a simple and sometimes tricky look but if done right, will make you look super feminine and chic. Pair some black eyeliner with a bold lip color and you’ll be turning heads.
