‘Tis the season to coat your eyes with pigmented glittering eyeshadows and give the shinning Christmas decoration a run for its money.

If you don’t want to take the maximalist approach when it comes to fashion, go a little OTT with beauty.

Start by applying a neutral base shade as a canvas, then add depth with a rich burgundy, brown, copper or emerald green in the crease. For a touch of glamour, spotlight your lids with a glittering gold, metallic or silver shimmer. To complete the look, define your eyes with a sleek winged liner and voluminous lashes.

Complement this festive eye makeup with a soft, rosy blush or a bold red lip (if you’re feeling extra risky). Ensure that there’s a balance and keep the rest of your look matt for the eyes to outshine.

This season, let your eyes steal the spotlight – after all, it does do all the talking.
