"To avoid looking like a disco ball, choose just one facial feature to highlight-eyes, cheeks, or lips." -ASHUNTA SHERIFF, CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTIST
UP TO OUR GOLD TRICKS: Reinvent the basic red or nude manicure by layering on a shimmery gold in place of a clear topcoat.

FLASH GLANCE: Draw tiny dots along your top lashline with a fine-tipped, glittery eyeliner. Over-the-top in an understated way.
MC RECOMMENDS: Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner Trio
THANK YOU FOR SMOKY: Black still reigns as the evening standard, but you can update your look with a little metallic.
MC RECOMMENDS: Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eyeshadow in Concerto
BLINK IT OVER: Bling up your lashes with two coats of silvery mascara-and flash as you flutter.
MC RECOMMENDS: Giorgio Armani Black Gem Mascara Top Coat
DO GIVE 'EM LIP: Glittery lips starting to look too-too? Why not consider a bright-red, opaque gloss instead? For staying power, pair with liner in a complementary shade.
