Growing up, I used to love painting my eyelids with sparkly, glittery shadows. It always made me feel like a glamorous princess. But now as an adult, I know there's a fine line between the appropriate level of glitter and looking as sparkly as my Christmas tree. But what's the holiday season without a little sparkle? Well for starters, you want to make sure you stay away from any makeup that says, "glitter" on it, and go for shimmery, glowing products instead. With the right application, a sweep of sparkly eye shadow, lip gloss, or blush can really help build a festive and fashionable holiday look. Get your shimmer on with some of these fabulous makeup products!

Eye liner
Brighten up your eyes with a shimmery, metallic gold liquid eyeliner, like Lancôme Artliner in Cinnamon ($30). This liner would look perfect against a golden or bronzey smoky eye.
Lip gloss
The NARS Lip Gloss in Moon Fleet ($24) goes on clear and features tiny flecks of gold and silver. You can wear it over nude lips to complement a dramatic eye makeup look or sweep it over a bold burgundy or red lipstick for some instant drama.
Blush
Highlight your cheeks bones and add a bright flush to your face with a shimmery blush, like Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush in Flame ($25).
Eye shadow
Nothing says New Year’s Eve quite like a glamorous gold shadow. I love BareMinerals Eyecolor Shadow in True Gold ($14).
Lipstick
Show off a bold and sparkly pout at your next holiday party with this Guerlain KissKiss Strass Lipstick in Broderie ($33). The subtle flecks of shimmer will leave you with a sparkly and shiny pout that’s not too over the top.
Eye shadow palette
Create a sexy, holiday-friendly smoky eye look with the Lorac Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette ($36). These neutral shades look great on any skin tone.
Nail polish
Amp up you look with a shimmery polish, like Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Good Girl Gone Bad ($16). The bold plum hue adds an edgy effect that’s not too dramatic.
