The Sparkly New Beauty Products You Need For Holiday Party Season

Puttin' on the glitz

What do we love most about the holiday season? More than spiked hot cider, copious amounts of pie, and spending time with our dearest ones? The fact that no amount of sparkle—especially when it comes to our makeup—is considered "too much."

Think about it: Even if you typically err on the tamer side in terms of your daily beauty routine, the holiday party season is the prime opportunity to experiment with glitzy, glamorous, and over-the-top beauty looks that you'd normally shy away from. Bring on the glitter lips and sparkly cat eyes!

We rounded up the most exciting (and, of course, the most sparkly) beauty launches of Holiday 2018 that'll give your eyes, lids, cheeks, hair, and nails a bit of shimmer and shine. With metallic jelly creams, molten liquid lipsticks, and glittery hairsprays as just a small part of this season's offering, there's a little something for everyone, from the glitter novice to the most daring of beauty lovers.

Whether you're planning to roll up to the party in head-to-toe sequins or quite the opposite, consider the below your guide to glamming it up this season.
