By now, you've (hopefully) got your dress steamed of wrinkles, shoes polished, jewelry matched, and handbag outfitted for the holiday parties that have been and still are happening. And even if the holiday parties have already happened, you've still got New Year's.

However, have you done anything about your makeup? The same look you've been doing all fall is fine, if you're going to get coffee with a girlfriend, but you've got to step it up for a holiday party. InStyle suggests you change it up with navy eyeliner. At first, I was skeptical. I've used nothing but black eyeliner and dark shadows to create a smoky look all my life, but the look of navy, especially with plum and bronze shadows, is stunning on Thandie Newton (then again, she probably looks great without any makeup on, too). InStyle used MAC's eyelining pencil in Prussian, which run about $14, but if you don't want to invest that much on something you might not like, try Rimmel's Kohl eyeliner in Denim Blue, which is only $3.19 at drugstore.com
