The cele atory nature of the holidays inherently makes December the official party season, which means it’s time for those cocktail dresses, LBDs, and other semi-formalwear to take center stage in your closet. But there’s more to looking picture-perfect than clothing and accessories. We consider one’s hairstyle and makeup to be the metaphorical cherry on top of a stylishly sweet sundae—and, as such, it can quickly make or eak the entire ensemble. Follow our festive lead with these four beauty trends: from barely-there minimalism to full-on glamour, they’re sure to put you in the spotlight, regardless of the soirée!
