These Glam Holiday Looks Will Get You in the Festive Mood, Guaranteed

Real talk: this year's holiday parties definitely aren't the usual over-the-top blowouts, with Champagne and confetti and that unassuming coworker turning out to be an absolute karaoke beast. But instead of missing the pandemic-prohibited party you can't have, why not shift your perspective on virtual fetes? A Zoom toast can be oddly fun! Plus, if you're hanging out with your favorite people over a screen, your party prep doesn't really change. You can still put on a fantastic dress — though this year, you can wear slippers with it instead of stilettos. (Nobody will know, but your feet will thank you.)

Of course, taking a few moments for hair and makeup can also remind you that screen soirées are something to look forward to. Set aside some time to come up with a festive makeup look, and you can create your own glamour from home. It just takes a little creativity and the right spirit — along with some sparkly, glossy little things from e.l.f. cosmetics. (We've selected a few musts for holiday makeup kits ahead.) So sit down, crank up e.l.f.'s version of Auld Lang Syne to get you in the mood, and get ready to party like it's 2021 . . . because thankfully, it almost is!
