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.

Start by blending a light-coverage foundation all over the face. Next, swipe loose gold pigment over each eyelid. Then go over the area using a shimmery gold liquid liner to draw a thin cat eye shape, flicking out the ends once you reach the outer corner.

Next, dip the Tweezerman Brush IQ Line Glider (click here to buy it) into a black gel liner and draw another thick line along the lid, using the thin tip of the brush to fill in as much of the lash line as possible. Once you reach the outer corner, create a small, subtle wing. (The smaller the flick, the more modern your cat eye will look.)

Finish by loading your top lashes with black mascara or by applying false lashes for a more dramatic effect. Apply a frosty lilac lipstick to complete the look.

Dark lips are expected once the temperatures drop, but this season's look involves a retro shape and a berry wash, giving your holiday statement lip a refreshing update.

This bold lip is sharp and precise, which means it looks best with other crisp elements like edgy elongated brows, wide-awake eyes and a contoured cheek.

Use a foundation brush or blending sponge to blend a medium- to full-coverage foundation over your entire face. Then, use a face brush to swipe a matte bronzer onto the hollows of your cheeks. Next, closely line your upper lashline with a dark brown eye liner, highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a shimmery highlighter and curl your lashes to make your eyes pop.

The key to this lip is in the prep work. Before you reach for your lipstick, use a soft lip pencil in a deep berry shade to line your lips in a rounded shape, especially around your Cupid's bow -- this will get you that 1940s vibe. Next, fill in your handiwork with a creamy lipstick in a matching shade and be sure to do the tooth stain test: Put your finger in your mouth, close your mouth around your finger and slide your finger out.
