IT'S getting darker outside.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's something about a winter night that invokes excitement, especially if you've got a holiday party or two to attend.
If you want to make a statement this season, look to the Gareth Pugh for MAC collection, filled with bold and futuristic shadows, liners and lipsticks infused with a gothic touch.
Recently, I tested out the Metallic-X Cream Shadow in Obscura. The ashy shade created a smokey eye in just one step - perfect for those of us who aren't trained estheticians.
For those who really feel like going over the top, try the ultranude Restrict lipstick or boxy set of fake eyelashes. Tamer tastes can doll up their fingertips with the multi-coloured nail laquers that blend shades of blue, purple and silver.
Gareth Pugh for MAC is available at MAC stores to Dec. 23. Prices range from $15 to $75.
