'Tis the season! It's time to dust off your sparkly dresses and glam-up your beauty routine. To help get you in the spirit, we've rounded up our favorite party-ready makeup looks-from subdued to super-sexy.
Play Up Your Eyes with Silver
Follow Beyonce's lead and use a shimmery metallic shadow on the inner corners of your eyes.

Go Clean and Classic
Could Amber Heard's makeup be any more perfect? We love the way the shadow, concentrated on the outer corners, gives her eyes a sexy almond shape.
Stain Your Lips
Rosie Huntington-Whitely has the most enviable pout since Angelina-and this color makes her lips look even better. To get this effect, use your finger to pat on lipstick.
Think Old Hollywood
False lashes and a thick swipe of liner will always be in style. Ashley Greene gets it right and pairs the look with perfect skin and a glossy lip.

Emphasize Your Brows
If you've got bold arches, let them be the star. We love Lily Collins's look: natural shadow and blush, nude lip gloss, lots of mascara and those killer brows.
Pair a Bright Pout with Liquid Liner
Yes, we've said it before, but this one deserves repeating: This is a makeup dream-team! Swipe on your favorite lipstick and wear it with a crisp stroke of liner for a look like Lauren Conrad's.
Wear Nude All Over
If you've got great skin, play it up with makeup like Fergie's: Peach-toned blush, gloss and eye shadow-and big, fluttery eyelashes.

Show Off Your Pout
Wear a great lipstick and keep the rest of your makeup minimal like Jessica Alba.
Get Smudging
This is the ideal look for any festive occasion-and it's wildly flattering. Try a smoky eye like Selena Gomez's with a pale-pink lip. (It's easier to wear than nude, but looks just as gorge.)
Try Red and Bronze Together
Model Chanel Iman looks like she's on her way to the sexiest of parties. From the metallic shadow to the bold crimson pout, this makeup isn't right for your office shindig...but it sure is perfect for a night on the town.
