Trying to find the perfect makeup for New Year’s Eve? Well look no further because these four beautiful, versatile, and easy makeup looks are perfect to welcome in the New Year!
1. Dark and Smokey: What better way to welcome the New Year than with a captivating, dark Smokey eye. Smudge a black cream eyeshadow on the lid to increase wear time and blend it out with a brush and some dark shadow. Buff out the outer edges with a matte or shimmery cream color to make sure there are no harsh lines and and you’re good to go! Complementing the dark shadows with glitter on the lower lash line and a shimmery, bright highlight on the brow bone and on the inner corner of the eye will contrast beautifully with the smokey blacks and dark grays on the lid. Don’t forget to clean up under your eye with a makeup wipe to remove any fallout and mistakes, and add mascara. To bring the look together, finish it off with a beautiful dark cranberry or burgundy lipstick!

2. Gold and Glittery: Gold is striking and perfect for the New Year’s festivities, especially when it is bright, sparkly, and radiant! Begin with a light, chocolate brown in your outer crease, and a darker brown on the outer corner of your eye. Then place the gold shadow or glitter all over the lid. To intensify glittery shadows, dampen your brush with some eyedrop solution before dipping your brush in the shadow! This will brighten the shadows and increase their wear time. To finish off the look, add a pale cream color to your browbone and inner corner to highlight. When paired with the perfect red lip, this look will definitely put all eyes on you. If you want to go the extra step, pop on some false eyelashes to really make your eyes stand out.

3. Bright and Neutral: If you want to keep your makeup a little more on the natural, simply dust some light brown, or neutral eyeshadow that compliments your skintone, into the crease of your eyelid. Pair it with winged eyeliner, some mascara, and a nude lip! For that extra New Year’s kick, add some glittery liquid eyeliner or some shimmery shadow on your upper lash line right above your winged eyeliner.

4. Silver and Bold: If you really want to make as big of a statement as the glorious New Year’s ball, a bold, precise silver cat eye will definitely do the job. Outline the outer crease of your eyelid with a precise black eyeliner, fill it in with some black or dark gray eyeshadow, and cover your lid with a bright shimmery silver. Add some mascara and you’re good to go! Complete this look with any lip color you want! If you want to make the look softer and more blended, don’t outline your outer crease, and instead, dust a dark gray eyeshadow onto this area, put on the silver shadow, and add some liquid eyeliner to the upper lash line!
