All-Over Ice Glow
For a full-on frosty effect, perfect and highlight the skin (like in the previous look), then focus on the eyes. Line the inner corner and bottom lash line with a metallic white or silver liner. "A glitter eyeliner or pencil is an easy way to add some sparkle," says Youngblood Makeup Artist Philip Luque.

The Products
Use an eyeliner like Anastasia Metallic Luster Liner in Liquid Silver, $18. Then, create an icy smoky eye with shades of pale blue and white (we like Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Carré Bleu, $60). For even more sparkle, try dabbing Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre in Diamond, $16, over your smoky eye.

Finish off your eyes with black mascara on the top and bottom lashes, and be sure to fill in your brows (try Maybelline Eye Studio Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara, $7.99,) so they don't disappear underneath a blanket of white shimmer. Then, complete the look with a pale pink lipstick like Youngblood Lipstick in Pink Lust, $19.

Golden Glitter Eyes
It doesn't get more gorgeous than this gold glitter eye worn by Katy Perry -- and it's surprisingly easy to pull off.

For a heavy line of gold shine, use Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Marigold, $25. For a more diffused option, apply Smashbox Limitless 15 Hour Wear Cream Shadow in Riches, $20, to the lids.

Lustrous Lips
If your idea of party makeup is to slap on some lipstick and go, dress up your lips with a metallic finish. The secret behind the uberglittery lips from the Rodarte fashion show was a mixture of lipstick and lots of loose glitter. While a custom made metallic lipstick sounds awesome, anyone who's ever played with loose glitter knows that you'll be finding glitter all over the house for the next five months. And in the case of a glitter lip, you'll probably be eating it, too.
