If there's anyone who has harnessed the power of the sun to glow like an ageless, flawless human being, it's Jennifer Lopez. Whether you're planning on flaunting a mini dress or an on-trend midi dress this holiday season, if your legs are showing, a little body shimmer can go a long, long way. Think of it like highlighting for your legs. Try Scott Barnes Body Bling, $42, which gives skin a golden sheen with a hint of tan.

You don't need to fear pairing body shimmer with an equally embellished dress. Exhibit A: Kim Kardashian glowing like, well, a golden gramophone as she walked the carpet at the Emmys. Slathering yourself with a shimmery, golden lotion masks imperfections, makes your legs look supermodel long and also helps you fake that I-just-cleansed-for-10-days glow -- even if your diet has steadily been cookies and stuffing. Try Red Carpet Kolour Body Glow, $49.95. It comes in three shades, applies just like your favorite body lotion and won't transfer onto your clothing (or your hostess' white couch).

A plunging back is arguably one of the sexiest trends (see Jourdan Dunn as proof), as it's an unexpected way to show some skin. To make this come-hither style live up to its full potential, skip the gold eye makeup and employ a gold-infused body oil, like Shiffa Luxury Gold Body Glow, $68, instead. This incredibly nourishing formula contains jasmine, lemon, orange and argan oils, along with real gold pieces, to make skin look healthy and youthful.
