The winter holidays are a time to flaunt your unique style…to push beyond your beauty boundaries…and to razzle dazzle with a little bit more flair. Red lips are always acceptable at this time of year, as are sequined dresses and discretions under the mistletoe. But winter 2014 has a couple of quality trends to exploit—we love the emphasis on extralong lashes.

Bring out the doll in you with extra long eyelash extensions, which popped up on the Rocha’s and Gucci catwalks this season.  Three varieties are suitable for your bridal needs:

Synthetic: Goodyard Salon Professional Mink lashes are ideal if you are looking for exact sizing with individual lashes.

Silk: Made of raw silk synthetic fiber, Goodyard silk lashes are flexible and umber-soft, and come in a variety of lengths and thickness.

Mink: Glad Lash offers 100% authentic, cruelty free Siberian Mink for the most natural look and comfortable feel.

The smoky eye makes an appearance this winter, but with a shimmery twist. Instead of overwhelming the eye with dark tones, create the smudge-like effect with sparkling browns, taupe and gold.
Speaking of sparkle…bold blues are still going strong. But don’t stay matte and muted for the holidays. Add a topping of glitter over your blue. (Put a small dab of Vaseline on first so the glitter has something to stick to.)
