Shine This Holiday In Gold, Silver And Copper

I'm obsessed with metallics this season! So I've come up with three different metallic holiday looks that will have you looking flawless and ready to celebrate at any winter get-together.

Gold metallic holiday beauty style

Gold

Although it's technically a bridesmaid dress, this gold number can easily be worn for the holidays with its universally flattering shape. Pair it with some sparkly shoes, metallic eyeliner and a bird hairpin that reminds us of a turtle dove, and you're all set for a cheerful night.

Get the look:

Dress: ML Monique Lhuillier, $70
Hair: Fred Flare hair clip, $9
Makeup: Physician's Formula Metallic Eyeliner collection, $11
Shoes: Aldo rhinestone heels, $135

Silver metallic holiday beauty style

Silver

If you're going to a black tie affair, this sparkly silver pleated maxi dress is a show stopper. Elegant heels and a sweet headband finish off the look with elegance. Swipe some shimmery illuminator on your face and you'll have this holiday party look under wraps.

Get the look:

Dress: Jane norman maxi dress, $65
Hair: Lipsy hair band, $18
Makeup: Bobbi Brown Party Shimmer Brick, $40
Shoes: Badgley Mischka jeweled heels, $138

Copper metallic holiday beauty style

Copper

For something a little more casual, we love the natural beauty of copper. A mini dress with sleeves is sexy and will still keep you warm. Add a touch of fun with a feathered headband and studded wedge boots. Then sweep any one of these gorgeous eyeshadow colors on to fit with your mood.

Get the look:

Dress: Victoria's Secret, $60
Hair: French Connection feather headband, $55
Makeup: Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette, $48
Shoes: Colin Stuart platform wedge boots, $85
