You want to try at least some of the makeup trends out for the season. But is basic black liner really doing your eyes justice? Fortunately, we have perfect eyeliner picks for every eye color, eye shape, and skin tone.

Every girl has at least one black eyeliner in her beauty arsenal. It is ideal for creating a smoky eye or glam winged look.

Now are you ready to up your eye game? There are practically as many eyeliner color options as shadows. As with most things beauty, it is important to remember this color choice is super personal. Certain shades enhance some eye colors and skin types more than others.

Stumped on which would look best on your peepers? Read on for tips on choosing the perfect eyeliner for your lovely eyes.

Perfect Eyeliner by Eye Color

Blue: Sure, deeper blue eyeliners bring out the best in blue eyes. But if you want some serious wow factor, go for gold, copper, or emerald. Try Lavera Soft Eyeliner Green.

Green: Sporting some gorgeous green peepers? Make the most of those babies by using deep plum and mahogany shades. Try Ilia Beauty Pure Eyeliner My Generation.

Brown: Brown can totally handle brown shades. Why not go for something completely different and wear navy or cobalt? Try Ilia Beauty Pure Eyeliner Nightclubbing.

Hazel: Hazel hues are as varied as they come. One universal eyeliner hue for this lovely shade is bronze, which can either lean toward olive or gold. Try Benecos Natural Eyeliner Olive.

Perfect Eyeliner by Skin Tone

Black eyeliner can be too harsh on fair skin. Opt for a more natural look by using a muted neutral in brown, grey or dark green. Try Ilia Beauty Pure Eyeliner Sweet Jane.

Medium skin tones can handle black eyeliner well, but also look great in other, more daring dark tones. Give bronze or deep purple a try. Try Inika Eyeliner Purple Minx.

Darker skin tones can go for the bold with more intense color and metallics. Go for gold, silver, or royal blue. Try Benecos Natural Eyeliner Bright Blue.

Now that you’ve chosen the best shade (or two, or three) for your eyes and skin tone, learn how to play them up. If your eyes are more round, accentuate outer edges with a bit thicker line to make eyes appear longer. For small eyes, don’t drown your eyes with thick liner. To make eyes appear larger, apply a thin line to upper and lower lash line. And if eyes are close set, use the same trick as for round eyes in color, anything but black or brown will do.

Add these tips to your holiday party look and get ready for a stellar season. Cheers!

Making holiday plans yet? Whether a viewing of The Nutcracker is on your agenda or not, ballet inspired beauty is hot this holiday season.

Ballerinas always radiate serene beauty. That’s why the look is a fabulous way to add classic femininity to your holiday vibe.

Greys, blacks, and whites are all ballet-esque and look good on all skin tones. No pirouette skills? No problem. Following are the best beauty products for attaining ballet inspired beauty looks.

Ballet Inspired Beauty Looks

For Eyes: Ballet inspired neutrals are easy to wear and seriously, they go with everything. Create a smoky eye by lining with Ilia Beauty Pure Eyeliner Rebel Rebel, a creamy traditional black. Use Kjaer Weis Eye Shadow Compact Onyx, a slightly shimmering grey, for an au courant look.

For something a bit different, start with a layer of Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow Meringue, a sparkling snowy white, and line eyes with Ilia Beauty Pure Eyeliner Havana Black. Not your basic black, this liner has a bit of gold to zhoosh things up.

A simple daytime look doesn’t have to be completely drama free. A creamy swipe of Ilia Beauty Silken Shadow Stick You Spin Me Round falls somewhere between grey and black. Modern perfection.

For Lips: You really only need one lip product for this look…a pretty ballerina pink. Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner Hold Me Now couldn’t be more perfect. Just right, day or night.

For Hair: A bun or chignon is always ballet season apropos. Use Josh Rosebrook Hair Spray Firm Hold to keep the look sleek and in place.

For Nails: Think timeless, not goth. Well manicured nails in jet black are a tasteful accent. Try Kure Bazaar Nail Lacquer Kohl. Too much? A prima ballerina pink, like Priti Nail Polish Coronation, is always appropriate.

For Legs: Black leggings are stylish, go anywhere, and comfy. Dress them up with a white button front shirt and you are good to go.

For Feet: What shoes to wear with your look? Ballet flats, of course.
