What changes for New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve is a long night: dinner, a party, a midnight photo, and often a late ride home. Your makeup has to look good under restaurant candlelight and phone flash for 6 to 8 hours. For more seasonal ideas, see our holiday party makeup looks.
1. The classic red lip
A true red with a clean liner is timeless in photos. Keep the eyes simple and let the lip lead. Blot, powder, and reapply for staying power.
2. Glitter and metallic eyes
Press metallic shadow onto the lid with a damp brush or a cream base so it stays put. Use eye glue for loose glitter to avoid fallout on your cheeks.
3. Soft champagne glam
Warm gold and champagne tones with a glowing cheek flatter most skin tones and suit a sequined or satin dress.
4. Bold graphic liner
A sharp wing or colored liner modernizes any outfit. Use a waterproof formula for a night of dancing and midnight hugs.
5. Deep berry monochrome
Matching berry on lips, cheeks, and lids looks polished and effortless, and it is forgiving as the night goes on.
6. A base built to last until midnight
Prime, use a long-wear foundation, set the T-zone, and carry blotting papers and your lip color. A makeup setting spray finishes the look. If your night is a black-tie event, see our gala looks by gown color.
