New Year’s Eve is a chance to shine – literally! Enjoy the festive play of colors and confidently glow into the new year.

Accentuated eyes

  • Smokey eyes: A classic dark look in black, gray, or dark brown is timeless. Add glittery eyeshadow in silver or gold for a festive touch.
  • Glitter: Shiny eyeshadow or eyeliner in gold, silver, or colored tones (blue, purple, green) for extra glamour.
  • Cat eyes: Dramatic eyeliner with a long tail that defines your eyes and adds a bold effect.
  • Colored mascara: Experiment with mascaras in purple, blue, or green for a special effect.

Glowing Skin

  • Glowing Skin: Use primer for a radiant finish and a natural-looking foundation.
  • Highlighter: Apply to cheekbones, bridge of nose, and under brows for a subtle but noticeable glow.
  • Blush: Use a cream or powder blush in warm tones (peach, pink) to add a pop of freshness.

Accentuated Lips

  • Classic Red: Red lips are the perfect symbol of elegance and glamour. Choose a long-lasting lipstick that will last through a festive dinner.
  • Dark Shades: Burgundy, purple, or dark brown for a bold, elegant look.
  • Sparkly Lips: Add gloss for a radiant effect or apply glitter over lipstick for a festive touch.

Both – Eyes and Lips

To accentuate both, balance your look:

  • Choose neutral eye tones (e.g. gold or bronze eyeshadow) and dramatic lipstick.
  • Use colored eyeshadow or smokey eyes, but leave your lips natural or with a hint of gloss.

Glitter and shine everywhere

  • Sparkly accents: Use glitter on the eyelid, lips, or even as an accent on the cheekbones or décolleté.
  • Metallic shades: Metallic eyeliners and eyeshadows in silver, gold, or rose gold.

Eyebrows and lashes

  • Eyebrows: Groomed and lightly defined with a pencil or gel.
  • False eyelashes: For a dramatic effect, choose full or slightly highlighted lashes.

Long-lasting tips:

  • Use cosmetics that extend the durability of your makeup for your foundation and eyes.

  • Setting spray: Finish with a finishing spray to make your look last all night

  • Waterproof makeup: Choose waterproof mascara and eyeliner to avoid smudging.
