New Year’s Makeup: Ideas and Step by Step Guides

The New Year is approaching – and this is the very time when each of us wants to shine. It doesn't matter whether you have already chosen an outfit or not yet, bought food for Olivier salad, or use the delivery of New Year’s dishes to your home, in any case, it’s worth thinking about New Year’s makeup options right now. And in this article we will tell you about how to make a really beautiful New Year's makeup.

New Year's makeup: what you need to know?

New Year's makeup is always a festive decision. It can be done according to the principles of a classic cocktail or evening make-up, but keep in mind that this is a time when everything is possible: especially what you have not dared to do before. Glitter on cheekbones? Easily! Bright lipstick in an unusual color? Please. But apart from that, there are a few other things to consider.

It is important that the make-up for the New Year's Eve is as persistent as possible. Make sure to use a primer to make your makeup survive New Year's Eve! And even if you usually neglect this makeup tool, this time you can’t do without it. It will prepare the skin for applying cosmetics, smooth it out, and help hide enlarged pores. And makeup applied over such a base will last much longer. In addition, we advise you to use the most persistent foundation. As a rule, matte tones are the most resistant, especially drip ones – those that are enclosed in a package with a pipette. It is best to apply this tone with a duofiber brush, or with a damp sponge. Concealers and concealers should also be as resistant as possible. At the same time, fix the makeup with powder.

Funds with a shimmer – what you need for the New Year! Just imagine: the glow of New Year's toys, your shining eyes, a dress in sequins – and that very bright, shining makeup! To literally shine, try eyeshadow, highlighter, or shimmery powder. And it is better to give preference to cream formulas, they are more resistant. For example, you can use the most radiant highlighters, bright shadows, pigments and glitters. But glossy lipsticks, on the contrary, should be abandoned. They are a lot less durable than their frosted counterparts and are likely to stay on champagne glasses.

If you are planning a holiday meeting outside the home, be sure to take a cosmetic bag with you so that you can fix your make-up. On New Year's Eve, as you know, anything can happen, so even if you used only persistent products when creating makeup, everything you need should be at hand. So that you can fix your makeup at any time. The cosmetic bag should contain a corrector, an eyeshadow palette that you used and lipstick.

Makeup options for the New Year: which ones to choose?

1. Focus on blush. This makeup option is really the most fashionable now. Blush in the autumn-winter 2019/2020 season is applied not only to the apples of the cheeks. The scope of their distribution has expanded significantly: distribute blush in the Japanese technique (under the eyes), along the cheekbones and up to the temples, grab the sides of the forehead. In this way, you will recreate the now very fashionable technique of draping, which is an interesting contrast to classical sculpting. And to make the image truly festive and New Year's, use a blush with a strong glow.
2. "Precious" Smokey. It is the emphasis on the eyes that is the best option for celebrating the New Year. It always looks quite festive, and at the same time, you will not need to constantly think about whether there are traces of your lipstick on champagne or on a fork with Olivier. Smokey ice in shades of precious metals – silver, gold, platinum – is the best fit for a New Year's make-up. Complete the look with lipstick or, conversely, nude lip gloss: for a festive night, both options are acceptable. This is exactly the case when you can confidently use the brightest shadows, pigments and glitters. Apply directly with your fingers over classic smoky!
3. Art makeup. This is another option for the bold, creative and indiscreet. Complete your New Year's look with an art element – a drawing on the face, a bright arrow or, for example, colored eyelashes. On New Year's Eve, you can easily use even those makeup tricks that you previously thought were overly vulgar.
4. Makeup with bright lipstick is a classic version of evening makeup, it is also suitable for the New Year. Complete the look with the perfect tone and bright highlighter. But keep in mind that a buffet table with bright lipstick is incompatible.
