Elegant

Gold is always a go-to color for the holiday season, and, even better, it complements every skin tone. Follow Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o’s lead at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards by pairing sparkly, gilded shadow with a punchy, berry lip color for a sophisticated and daring look. Try the Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow in Golden on the eyes and Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Vivid Violet for a kissable pout at midnight.

Neutral

If you’re in the mood for something neutral, try Rihanna’s understated, yet eye-catching, look at the British Fashion Awards earlier this month. The minimalist makeup allows her flawless skin and her eyes to take center stage. Dust a light brown shadow, like Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Buck ($18), on the lids and plump up the lashes with a couple generous coats of Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Mascara ($23). For a hint more drama, sweep on Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black ($20) in the shape of a cat-eye to really make your peepers pop. Finish everything off with a nude-brown lip color like Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lovecraft ($21).

Classic

A cherry red pucker instantly adds glamour to any ensemble, whether it’s jeans and a tee or a fancy party dress. Megan Fox’s holiday-appropriate makeup at Ferrari’s 60th Anniversary Gala is perfect for both a New Year’s Eve bash and a quiet dinner date. To imitate the actress’ beauty statement, apply a bright shade like Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Red Amour ($27) to the lips and a glittery, rose gold shadow like Benefit Cosmetics Longwear Powder Shadow in Nude Swings ($20). For a healthy glow, sweep an apricot color on the cheekbones. Try Nars Blush in Liberté ($30). Voilà!

Sultry

Of course, you can never go wrong with a sultry, smoky eye on New Year’s Eve. “Pretty Little Liars” star Shay Mitchell nails the sexy, alluring vibe at GQ’s Men of the Year Party with black liner, bold eyebrows, and pinky-nude lips. To achieve the same effect, smudge a kohl pencil, like Sephora Collection Long Lasting Kohl Pencil in Intense Black ($10), on both your top and bottom lash line. Blend out any harsh edges with a dark, matte eye shadow, such as Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Rich Caviar ($22), for a slightly messy finish. Next, use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo ($23) for full, thick brows. Then, smear on a lip color similar to Bite Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick in Salut ($24) to complete the look.

Playful

Why not start off the New Year with a fresh, out-of-the-box beauty statement? A fun, surprising pop of color immediately brightens up the face and showcases your playful personality. Kerry Washington mixed things up at Elle’s Women in Hollywood Awards with blue eyeliner, a great choice for any lively social gathering. If you dare to copy the “Scandal” actress’ bold makeup, try Nars Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Khao San Road ($24). Don’t forget to pull your hair back to let the aquamarine hue really shine. You can also get creative and try purple or green instead!
