In a season filled with metallic smoky eyes, dramatic contour, and surprising-to-no-one red lips, sometimes you want to get out the door without having to fumble with glitter or false lashes or complicated holiday-themed lip art for once. And while yes, nobody’s stopping you from embracing the whole no-makeup-makeup thing, it’s not a sin to want something to punch up your look just a little bit, as some would say.
With that in mind, beauty experts found 30 simple makeup ideas, including an golden-bronze, two-step smoky eye, a fun geometric liner idea, and an easy way to pull of green—yes, green—eyeshadow without looking like an ugly sweater party reject.

Major makeup inspiration for every single one of them, ahead.
