Ring in the holiday season with this minty fresh new beauty trend

Mariah Carey would be proud.

You know squiggle eyebrows, faux freckles, and nose hair extensions, neon eyeliner, wet hair, glitter roots, and lollipop lips did we mention? But do you know the most difficult trend of all?

Makeup experts have now raised the bar on beauty trends, just in time for the holiday season.

Apparently, candy canes aren't just for hanging on trees or stuffing into stockings. They're also inspiration for your eyelids.

As if cat-winged eyeliner wasn't hard enough ... why not add in a few extra steps just for fun?

If you're brave enough or have the patience for this time-consuming look, just replace your black liquid eyeliner with red and white. Carefully, and without poking yourself in the process, use the red liner to draw the wing and the white for the thick, diagonal lines.

If you've done it correctly, you'll be the belle of the office holiday party!
