Whether you’re heading off to a study date, a Christmas party of just another day at school, this season is all about silver and gold decorations. Don’t waste the beautiful glitz of Christmas by wearing it only for a special occasion; instead style some glam into the entire season. We’ve selected a few sparkling items and shown you ways to incorporate them into an outfit, each with a heightened amount of glam! Shine bright this Christmas.
Celebrate in Style
Don’t be shy to Glam it all out with a full on glitter and sparkle dress. Pair it with the cutest heels in your closet and you will shine all night!
Wear those new glittery sneaks or sandals in your closet with a classic winter sweater. Add some bling to your socks so your feet are ready to saunter through the snow and into school.
Gold doesn’t really highlight your complexion? Go for a soft dewy glow with a pink glitter skirt and accessories to match. You’ll look like the slight glimmer of warm candlelight.
You can incorporate your shine in your everyday looks. Pair your favorite jeans with a gold jacket, and shiny new shoes. You’ll leave your sparkle all over the school hallways!
Those awesome silver pants that you really want to by, but not sure how to wear them without looking like a Dancing With the Stars costume? The secret – wear a slim and sleek top and a complimentary piece of jewelry. Another tip – you must wear shoes that are a similar shade. Opt for a similar metallic.
Really love this trend, but aren’t a glam-girl? Rock out a casual and cool look by wearing a bag with stud details. Glitz and glam doesn’t have to look like a sparkly Christmas ornament.

Your orchestra or choir has its annual holiday concert and you have a solo to perform. Wear a trendy white or ivory shirt with sleek black pants and a wrap-around jacket. If you’re allowed, wear a dark red or green shoe for a little pop of color, otherwise stick with a classic black.
This is where you want to sparkle and shine, so go all out with a glittery top and faux leather leggings or a winter white skirt. Add jazzy boots, a faux fur coat and dreamy jewelry.
Wear a cozy sweater and jeans with a comfortable pair of shoes. Accessorize with radiant pendant necklaces or chic earrings for a shopping trip with friends or family.
Your little sister is playing Mary in your churches Christmas Pageant. You don’t want to outshine her, but you do want to dress up to show her your support. Dress in a sweet and flattering long sleeve dress and a simple pair of boots or heals.
Perhaps you want to dress up for your last day of school, or maybe you want to wear something festive that isn’t an ugly Christmas sweater. Wear your favorite pair of jeans with a confetti t-shirt or a super cute bow sweater so you look like a beautiful present!
Trudging through the snow to pick out the perfect tree, only to get it home and find out it’s either too big, too short or too fat is one of the best traditions around. Wear a cozy sweatshirt and pair of pants under your winter gear for a warm base layer.
Your family tradition is to attend the community Christmas tree lighting. It’s cold, but you have hot cocoa and popcorn in hand, so you’re set for the magic to begin. Dress warm with a comfortable sweater, pants and boots. Add a pair of ear muffs or gloves to complete the look.
Every year your youth group visits the elderly of the church and sings joyful carols to warm their hearts.

Bring a little joy to the recipients of your dedication with a playful t-shirt or vibrant sweater. Opt for a character or color that is cheery and bright, paired with a comfortable pair of pants. Keep accessories to a minimum.
Blue eyeshadow comes in and out of the beauty scene because it is a color that can be worn all wrong. It’s easy to overdo the shade by caking it on in an unattractive way, and even easier to wear the wrong shade for your skintone – gasp! But, it’s such a fun and playful color that deserves a little attention. Rather than shying away from the color altogether, follow these tips to ensure that you’re finding the right shade.
Blue Makeup Look for Dark Skin
If you have a bright and vibrant personality, then opt for a rich cobalt blue. If you’re on the shier side, then stick with a soft grayish-blue shade. Both tones look beautiful on dark complexions, so find a shade that matches your personality!
Try: Sweep your shadow on your lids up to the crease (we recommend Zuzu Luxe Mineral Eyeshadow in Ice Princess, $17.60), then use a small narrow brush to run just a touch of the shade under your lower lashes! Then anchor your look with black mascara.
Blue Makeup Look for Fair Skin
You’re in luck, nearly any shade of blue looks lovely on your skin tone, so find a color from sky to navy that compliments your personality (or choose multiple and play around with them all!)
Try: Trace a sapphire shadow crayon (we like Trestique Shadow Crayon in Baltic Blue, $24.00) along your top and bottom lash lines, then smudge the hue up along the top lid. Balance a colorful eye with a natural rosy lipstick.
Blue Makeup Look for Light-Medium to Olive Skin
Go for the steely or dark blue shades which will bring out your golden tones. Avoid pastels because they will make you look washed out or ashy, yuck!
Try: Blend a navy shadow on your lids (we suggest Revlon ColorStay Day-to-Night Eyeshadow Quad in Gorgeous, $9.19), then add a silvery blue along your brow bones as well as the inner corners of your eyes. Swirl a tawny-peach blush on your cheeks for a healthy-looking finish.
Find the right shade for your color tone, then play around with various looks, application techniques and product types. Try a blue liner above and below your eye, stick with eyeshadow only, or apply a blue mascara. Mix and match how you wear your blue makeup look to find a style that expresses your unique beauty and personality. Blend blue with jade or turquoise, try it with purple, silver or even green for a cool look. Add it to your basic brown for an upbeat approach on a simple shade.
There’s always a place for a classic neutral brown, but grays and browns can make eyes look dull. Who wants that? If worn properly, blue eye makeup actually brightens eyes. It may not be a color that you want in your everyday repertoire, but it’s certainly a color you want on hand when you’re ready for a more energetic look.
