Shimmer is the perfect complement to holiday fashion, whether you’re looking for a mere touch of sparkle or overall radiance. From metallic accents to face luminizers, these products will freshen up dull winter skin and add a little shine to your evening makeup routine.

I’ve long been a fan of Australian makeup artist Rebecca Morrice Williams’ Becca Cosmetics [3] line for its sheer, lightweight foundation. Now I’m hooked on her Shimmering Skin Perfector Shimmering Moisturizer in pearl (pictured, right). By adding just a small dab to my foundation, this triple-action powerhouse hydrates, offers 25+ SPF sun protection, and gives my skin a healthy glow.

Eyeliner is a great tool for defining and drawing attention to your peepers, but finding a product without irritating chemicals is important for anyone with sensitive or dry eyes (mine are the latter). That's why I like Jane Iredale’s Liquid Eyeliner in gold (pictured, left). The formula is gentle, and the specially designed brush has a long handle, making it easy to control your lines.

Give your nails a 24-karat makeover courtesy of Orly’s Naughty or Nice Collection. My top pick from this set of festive and flirty lacquers is halo (pictured, above), a pale, shimmering gold accented with glitter flakes.
