Using a wide eye shadow brush, Helen brushes the golden shadow from the tokidoki 24 Karat Skate Deck Eyeshadow Palette ($29; Sephora) along the inner corners of Amanda’s eyes. This palette of 12 smudgeable shadows has hints of shimmer to create customized looks with a bit of sparkle.

For a dramatic look, blend the lapis blue shade from this palette into the creases and just beyond the outer rims. Sweep blue shadow along the lower lash lines using the Domed Smudge Brush from the Sephora Prestige Brush Set.

Using Sephora Professional Clear Natural Mascara ($10; Sephora) will help keep brows in place while giving them a soft sheen. Finish this look with a slick of Dior Dior Show Black Out Mascara ($24.50; Sephora) on top and bottom of lashes and to give the ultimate wow! factor to eyes.

The next look is an update to a more natural look -- subtle yet sultry for the holidays. We recommend trying a sophisticated brown smoky eye. One of the greatest beauty misconceptions is that a smoky eye only involves a traditional grey-silver-black palette, but you can use any color palette to enhance any skin tone.

To get this look, accentuate your eyes with neutral tones from the TARINA TARANTINO Jewel Eyeshadow Palette in Delightful ($32; Sephora). These radiant shadows are infused with crushed pearls, diamonds, and porcelain powders for a perfect amount of sparkle. Use the smudge brush to blend the shadow under the lower lash line to give a smoldering effect.

Chisel your cheeks with Sephora Colorful Blush in Cinnamon Spice 01 ($13; Sephora) which imparts a smooth, longwearing finish that will define your features with a healthy glow.

Finally, coat up the lips with Charlotte Ronson A Perfect Kiss Lip Gloss in Hilary ($14; Sephora) – a beautiful shimmering plum – blotting it out to transform the color into a rich, mauve stain.

We asked Sephora PRO Team member, Julianna Sanchez how to create the perfect shimmery holiday look, without going overboard. She recommends using products that contain reflective properties to catch light and impart a glamorous yet subtle glow, such as those found in the Sephora Favorites Glitz and Glam kit, which contains 10 of Sephora’s favorite shimmering products.

Try adding a little extra glow to your complexion with Charlotte Ronson’s 3x A Charm Luminizer, Blush and Bronzer. Lightly sweep bronzer onto the hollows of the cheeks, temples, and jaw line. Sweep blush onto the apples of the cheeks to keep the look fresh and youthful. Lastly, sweep luminizer along the tops of the cheekbones, under the arch of the brow, down the bridge of the nose, and above the cupid’s bow of the lip.

Sanchez’s final tips: “Keep your look fresh by incorporating bright colors and shimmery bronzes and neutrals. A shimmery bronze smokey eye paired with a hot pink lip and soft pink cheeks is a great way to bring in the New Year.” Before you leave, pop the Hello Kitty compact mirror into your purse to touch-up your glamorous new look!
