If there was ever a time to experiment with an elevated makeup look, the holidays are it. The sparkle of the season is truly the perfect time to take your beauty game to the next level, and we’re not just talking about glitter (although let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be a holiday makeup roundup without it).
