This season I am glamming it up for all of my evening holiday parties (and one birthday party coming up this weekend for yours truly).  One trend I LOVE this season is metallics, especially metallic eye makeup.

MAC Cosmetics Style Black is a great all black collection, containing the hottest dramatic colors to score for the holiday season.  Black shades can be tough to wear (think Halloween) but the darker metallics used sparingly for a smokey eye or dramatic lip can be sexy and alluring. I can’t think of a more dramatic look for New Year’s Eve – can you?

From ’80s Sprouse-in-the-House kohl and fringe to London New Goth, going back to black changes the mood, deepens the drama. Eyeliner, beehives and beyond, this is a celebration of going madly, deliriously noir. Don’t wait ’til midnight.

The Style Black Collection
