What Makes a Great New Year’s Eve Makeup Look?
New Year’s Eve is such a fun, festive time! We all want to let loose at the end of a long year, and celebrate a fresh new start ahead of us.
There’s drinks, music, and colourful, shimmering fireworks that light up the whole sky, so it’s the perfect chance to look and feel your best.
Glitter, metallics, and sparkles are all encouraged and part of the theme, and you’ll definitely want something that stays all day (and night!).
So, here’s some ideas for your impactful and easy New Year’s Eve makeup.
Glittery Gold Eyeshadow for a Sparkling Start
Nothing says New Year’s like glittering, shimmering gold! A swipe of metallic eyeshadow across your lids is a great way to get into the spirit with one simple fix.
Classic Red Lip for a Bold Statement
A red lip is such a versatile look, it’s the perfect option for any New Year’s Eve plans. Whether you’re going all out at a club, having a party with friends, or option for a few quiet drinks at a bar, a red lip is the right look.
Smokey Eye with a Shimmering Silver Touch
You can’t go wrong with a smokey eye! Any good New Year’s Eve makeup palette will have a few deeper shades that can easily be blended for a sultry, smokey eye.
Pastel Eye Makeup for a Soft, Romantic Look
If you prefer softer colours, a rosy flush of pinks, champagnes, and beige can bring depth and dimension to any eye look. Try matte in the crease and shimmer across the lid for an easy pastel eye.
Dramatic Winged Eyeliner for a Timeless Elegance
Winged eyeliner is a classic for a reason – it’s been a makeup staple for decades now! It’s worth doing a bit of research to find the best winged eyeliner shape for your eyes and face, and you’re all good to go.
Metallic Bronze and Copper Tones for a Warm Glow
Metallic warm tones look beautiful on any skin tone, so New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to pull them off. You can use bronze and copper on your eyes, as a bronzer, or even on your lips!
Iridescent Highlighter for an Ethereal Radiance
With all the fireworks and sparklers, you want your makeup to reflect the light. Sweep some highlighter across your cheekbones and brow bone to make the most of the lighting.
Bold, Graphic Eyeliner for a Modern Twist
If you’ve got a steady hand, you’re the perfect candidate to try a graphic eyeliner look! You can play around with angles, draw intricate designs, and really get creative.
Vibrant Lip Colour for a Pop of Festive Cheer
A vibrant lip colour can transform any makeup look with just a swipe of colour. You could go for a bold pink, red or purple, or go crazy with colours, shimmers, and metallics.
Holographic Eyeshadow for a Futuristic Flair
When it comes to eyeshadow, you have so many options to choose from. Instead of opting for a plain colour, you can find some really cool, reflective, holographic shades that look stunning in the glow of the fireworks!
Jewel-Toned Mascara for a Unique Splash of Colour
Did you know you don’t have to stick with black mascara? Beautiful jewel tones like navy blue, emerald green, and royal purple eyelash extensions or mascara can really bring out the colour in your eyes.
Glossy Lips for a Fresh, Dewy Finish
If you don’t like the feeling of lipstick, lip gloss is an excellent lightweight alternative. Plus it’s much easier to reapply than lipstick throughout the night!
Crystal Accents for a Touch of Glamour
Crystals and gems are such a fun way to add glamour and drama to your look, and they can be placed almost anywhere on your face for accent.
Neon Accents for a Fun, Playful Look
Why not make your makeup as colourful as the fireworks? Pop on some neon accents in the form of eyeliner, eyeshadow, face jewels, or even lip colour!
Monochromatic Makeup for a Cohesive, Chic Style
Prefer to keep your makeup more minimal? You can use the same colour scheme across your eyes, lips, and cheeks for a timeless, monochromatic look. Bonus points if you even use the same product!
