YOUR HOLIDAY GLAM GUIDE

Step out in style this season with the hottest hairstyles and prettiest beauty looks

Thanks to trendsetters like Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins, all eyes are on brows this year. The bolder and bigger, the better ... but there's no room for bushy and unkempt in the equation. To keep your eyebrows sculpted, use precision tip tweezers, like Tweezerman Silver Shimmer Slant Tweezer with Case, $22, to pluck any stray hairs under the natural shape of your brows. The 25-degree slanted tip will help you tweeze precisely like the pros (and the sparkly, silver finish will get you in the spirit of the season). If you'll be touching up on the go, stash the Tweezerman Zig Zag Mirror & Mini Slant Duo, $18, a smaller version of the Slant Tweezer and the matching zig zag mirror in your clutch for emergencies.

To accentuate bold brows even more, curl your lashes with the ProCurl Lash Curler, $20, a professional-quality eyelash curler in a unique Rose Gold hue. The sleek body shape and narrowed top bar makes it fit most eye shapes and helps you reach every last lash without tugging and pinching.





You may have the perfect eye shadow palette or long-lasting lip color, but a dramatic holiday makeup look is nothing without a smooth, flake-free complexion as its backdrop. To battle winter dryness, work a facial exfoliator into your skincare routine. Exfoliate two times a week to slough away dead skin cells and brighten your entire complexion, and introduce a more intensive moisturizer into your daily routine as the temperatures drop.





The holiday season is the perfect time to debut a stunning red statement lip. While this look is a sure showstopper, it can be a nuisance if it's leaving smudge marks all over your champagne flute, or worse, your teeth. Follow these steps to get the perfect festive lip that will last through drinks and desserts.

1. Gently buff your lips with a soft toothbrush to exfoliate.
2. Next, apply a light coat of foundation to lips to create a smooth, even surface.
3. Apply your red lip color, starting at the center of your lips and gradually working your way out.
4. Set your lipstick with a light tap of translucent powder and add a dab of gloss on the center of your lips to create a fuller look.
5. Make an "o" shape with your mouth, insert your index finger between your lips, then remove your finger. (Your finger picks up any extra color that might smear onto your teeth.)





Dramatic false lashes are the perfect accessory to take your normal evening look to the next level for a New Year's Eve bash or special holiday soiree. Follow these steps to top off your cat eye or accentuate a smoky eye.

1. Measure the length of your false lash to make sure it fits your eye shape. Then, hold both edges of the lash and bend them to create a C shape. Hold for a few seconds.
2. Apply a thin, even coat of lash glue to the back of your false lashes and allow the glue to set, approximately 30 seconds to one minute.
3. Apply the lashes to the base of your lash line and hold until they set.
4. Apply mascara to integrate your natural lashes with the falsies.





Old Hollywood waves are a classic holiday look perfect for more formal affairs. We've seen this style from the red carpet to the runways, and the key to pulling off this glamorous look is moveable hold. Follow these tips to make sure you get a holiday hair look that doesn't fall flat.

1. For a high-volume look, blow-dry your hair with a thickening cream and create a deep side part -- the more exaggerated, the more height.
2. Before you use heat tools to create your curls, spritz hair with a thermal styling spray to ensure your hair holds its shape long after you style.
3. Once your hair is prepped, set your hair in hot rollers and mist with a medium hold hairspray. After they cool, remove rollers and brush through your curls to get looser waves.
4. Once you're happy with the shape of your waves, do a final spray with a stronger hold hairspray to finish.
