Wearing an ugly Christmas sweater isn’t the only way to show off your holiday spirit. Over the weekend, our December digital cover star Justine Skye reminded us that there are far more stylish ways to show your pride than that.

Case in point, on Saturday, Skye shared a clip of her modeling a holiday-inspired makeup look to Instagram, and she looks like a pretty poinsettia.

“But this beat is chef’s kiss…,” Skye captioned the post. And we have to admit, she’s right. Everything from Skye’s glowing skin to her decorated eyelids with winged candy cane eyeliner and crystal gems is perfection.
