During the holiday season, there’s much to do with family and friends. Everyday is filled with food, parties and more food. While you might be covered in the wardrobe department, there’s still the question of your holiday beauty look. Do you go natural with matte shades, or do you go full glam and apply glitter on your lids and lips?

If you need some beauty inspiration to get you through the next few days and into the new year, please see below for some holiday makeup looks that will turn heads and get all the likes on the ‘gram.

Purple Shimmer

Isabela Merced’s makeup artist Allan Avendaño packed on the purple eyeshadow to create a glamourous smokey eye. For a more dramatic effect, line the waterline with a matching purple liner.

Floating Eyeliner

Sure a cat eye liner is great, but try the floating eyeliner that’s become a trend in the last few months. For this beauty look, it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup to a minimum.

Everything Gold

December is the time to bring out the gold shades for every ocassion. When it comes your lids, layer it on followed by a touch of matte brown on the crease for more depth.

Smokey Eyes

Do like JLo does and wear a dramatic smokey eye for your New Year’s Eve party. Pro-tip: pair it with a glossy nude lip.

Red Lips

Striking red lips are a must for the holiday season. Bonus points if you also dye your hair red to match your lips.
