Christmas and New Year's Eve makeup
Two looks for the party season. Christmas Makeup puts cranberry-red shimmer and gold glitter on the lid, a fine emerald line under the eye and a cranberry lip, so red, gold and green all appear on the face. New Year's Eve Makeup swaps them for silver-champagne glitter on the lid, black smoke in the outer corner and a soft, glossy lip.
Both start with a satin base and soft contour, so most of the work goes into the eyes. Try each on your selfie, then save the one you like for the office party, Christmas dinner or the countdown.
Christmas and New Year's looks on different faces
2 looksChristmas and New Year's Eve makeup tips
- Pick one metal and repeat it. Christmas Makeup puts gold glitter on the lid and a gold highlight on the cheekbones, and New Year's Eve Makeup pairs a silver glitter lid with a silver highlight.
- You can wear a red lip and a glitter eye together if they share a shade. Christmas Makeup matches a cranberry-red lip to the cranberry shimmer on the lid.
- For a long night, line the lips and fill them in with the liner before the lipstick. Carry the lipstick for a touch-up after dinner and again before midnight.
- Party lighting is low and warm, so go a little brighter with highlight than you would in daylight. A silver or gold on the top of the cheekbones catches the camera flash.
- Match the eye to your outfit. Green velvet or a red dress goes with the cranberry and gold, and a silver sequined top goes with the New Year's Eve glitter.
