Growing up, I was a bit of a tomboy. But the one girly thing that I really got into as soon as my other friend’s did was makeup. We loved sitting around with out Caboodles full of drug store makeup and creating new looks. Things haven’t changed much almost 20 years later. I definitely go through stages: natural, smokey eyes, and my usual “Oh My God, I better throw some foundation on so I don’t scare small children” {which most time is my go-to look}.
With the holidays coming, I have been experimenting with some different festive looks. I am not talking about red and green lids or silver lips. Just a little something more than I would normally do. Naturally, I turned to my best friend, Pinterest for inspiration.
Inspiration #1 – Dark Definition
Don’t you just love this smokey eye? The one thing I like the most about this is that it’s not too over the top. Plus, I love the lashes. I love the lashes!
Inspiration #2 – Shimmery Silver
I love, love, love the silvery shadow! This would be the perfect look for New’s Year Eve. Again, love the lashes!
Inspiration #3 – Purple/Gold
As you can tell, I love the shimmery look. Purple has always been a favorite color of mine and I love the combination with the gold. The subtle black liner gives it just the extra oomph!
Inspiration #4 – Simple Smokey Eye
When it comes to a smokey eye, I love a simple look. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Jerseylicious but I could never pull that look off myself!
Inspiration #5 – More Purple
This look is a little more over the top than I would normally do but I do love the end result and how it looks!
I am not sure which look I am going to go with this season. Maybe I’ll try all five at some point!
What are your favorite holiday makeup looks?

I love the purple and gold look! I think I’m using that as my New Years Eve combo (actually the night before New Years Eve). Thanks for sharing your tips!
I was (am?) a total tomboy as well. I rarely wear makeup. I just ventured into putting some mascara on for events… that’s a big step for me! I always feel like I look like a 12 year old trying to look like a grown up. I should try the simple smokey eye… I’m more a neutral/natural look type, but I might be able to pull that one off!
