The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to finally master fashion's favorite trend, the statement brow. Add this look to your arsenal and your face will instantly look put-together, even when you skip the dramatic eye or bold lip.
Since the bold brow packs a punch, it's best when paired with a sheer foundation and pinky-peach blush. A rosy lip stain, rather than an opaque lipstick, gives this look another subtle hint of color that keeps the focus on the brow.

Start by applying a sheer foundation to even out skin tone. Next, swipe a shimmery gold shadow over both your eyelids and coat lashes with a dark brown mascara. For Cara Delevingne-worthy brows, don't completely exile your tweezers to the bottom of your makeup bag -- just use them more strategically. Brush brows up and outward and use Tweezerman Slant Tweezer (click here to buy it) to pluck any stray hairs under the brow line.
Then use an angled brush, like the Tweezerman Brow Brush, (click here to buy it) and a gel or powder pigment to extend the tail of your brows toward your temples. Finally, use the same brush to fill in sparse areas using short, even strokes, mirroring the pattern of your hair growth.
Smile and use a blush brush to swirl a peachy-pink blush on the apples of the cheeks. Finish by applying a rosy lip stain to pull the entire look together.

Holiday makeup looks are known for being dramatic, but there's no need to be heavy-handed on your cheeks. Just a few sweeps in the right places will get you a romantic, fresh-faced look that's just as eye-catching as a vampy lip.
Less is more when creating a fresh-faced look. Sticking with neutral lids and a muted lip will help spotlight the cheeks creating an understated but ethereal look.

Prep the skin with a moisturizing BB cream to create a dewy -- not cake-y -- finish. Using a medium-size face brush, sweep a matte bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks and a shimmery, pale pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Next, use a specially contoured brush, like Tweezerman Brush IQ Contour Concealer Brush (click here to buy it) to get a natural highlight sans hours of blending. Dip the brush in a highlighter. Then, holding the brush horizontally, smile slightly and use the brush to lightly apply the shimmer on the tops of your cheekbones, sweeping it upwards toward your temples.
Swipe a nude shadow that's a shade or two darker than your skin tone into the creases of your eyelids, and highlight the inner corners of your eyes using a shimmery gold shadow. Finish the look by blotting a pink-y nude lipstick onto the lips.

We gravitate toward glitter and sparkle when crafting our holiday looks, but the line between "fashionably festive" and "walking disco ball" is a fine one. Take a cue from Badgley Mischka's winter runway and dress up your tried-and-true cat eye with a tasteful swipe of bling.
When paired with unlined lower lids, va-va voom lashes and a frosty lavender-pink lip, this festive feline flick gets you a girly, mod-inspired beauty look that complements a plethora of party dresses.
