Take a cue from the makeup artists at Thakoon's FW13 show and apply Nars Eye Paint, $25, in Solomon Island, over your eyelid and into your crease. Use a firm brush to apply a dark gold glitter, like MAC Glitter, $25, in Vintage Gold, to the outer crease, then use a lighter gold, like MAC Glitter in Gold, on the inner half of the lid to create dimension. Thinly line your upper lid with a black cream liner and apply lengthening mascara.

If you love sparkle and shine (guilty), then don't be afraid to recreate this look from the Chanel runway at home. When going for a super-glam look, DIY style, Stapleton recommends sticking with a neutral palate like this one (think silver, bronze or gold).

To get it, try a kit made specifically for high impact metallic sheen like Stila's Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow, $32, in Comex Platinum. Mix the primer and the shadow together, and then use a firm brush to apply the silver shadow over your eyelid, on your lower lash line and in the inner corner of your eye. If you are feeling extra bold, extend the shadow up to your eyebrows and balance it by taking it along the entire length of your brows. Smudge a creamy black liner along your lash line and finish with lots of mascara. Keep the rest of your look toned down with glowing skin and a natural lip.

While this runway look may be a little too "out there" for your next holiday bash, a toned down version would be an easy way to make a dramatic entrance. Swap out your black liquid liner for a silver one, like Mark Metalliner Hook Up Eye Glam, $6.50, in Quick Silver, and then create an exaggerated cat eye by extending the flick out further than you normally would. Add a sheer wash of color to lips by using a stain, like Tarte Lipsurgence, $25, so you won't have to worry about touch ups.
