New Year’s Eve is in a few days – and with the stress of preparation, we quickly forget our make-up, because it’s something that can be noticed on this special evening. In order to quickly conjure up simple make-up, we have picked out five looks that are easy to recreate and beautiful.
Elegant and special makeup always seems to take a lot of time. Time that we don’t have right before the new year. You don’t need much to still make an amazing appearance, because there are simple looks that you can easily imitate. With the focus on eyes, lips or complexion, any make-up can be done in no time.
New Year’s Eve makeup: 5 simple ideas that will make your look festive
1. Lip service
With a little color on your lips, every look becomes an eye-catcher. It really doesn’t take much for the lipstick to sit well. The most important thing is a good base. With a little lip care and a lip liner, the foundation is quickly created so that the lipstick doesn’t smear so quickly. Lipsticks in strong red are particularly beautiful, which can quickly create a wow effect. In combination with mascara and a little foundation you can achieve flawless and quick make-up. If you focus on the lips when applying makeup, the rest of the makeup can be kept simple. The look from Gucci shows how much red lipstick makes a difference, in which the lips are emphasized in a beautiful shade of red.
2. The eyes sparkle
On New Year’s Eve there is a lot of glitter and sparkle. Luckily, there are many eyeshadows that can bring that sparkle to our eyes. Eye makeup can take a lot of time, but with glitter as the main ingredient, it’s easy to apply. Certain accents can be set, which means that you don’t have to put in a lot of effort. Even just applied to the inner corner of the eye, a little glitter looks chic and glamorous. If you want the entire eyelid to glitter, you can use a shimmering eyeshadow like in the video by Mario Dedivanovic. The make-up artist to the stars not only shows that a look can be a real eye-catcher with very little effort. It also shows that the fingers are ideal for applying eyeshadow.
3. Elegant and reserved
Less is more! You don’t need the craziest look to celebrate the New Year. A little bit of everything is often just right. Understated make-up is very elegant and so we like to focus on the right mix. A little mascara, beautifully made up eyebrows, an earthy tone on the eyes and you have a look that is very simple and still beautiful. Add some blush and lip gloss and the party can get started. What’s particularly great about it? That with this makeup we don’t have to worry much and we don’t have to worry about anything smudging or crumbling. Hailey Bieber shows how it’s done and presents a subtle make-up look that looks magically elegant with blush on the cheeks and a light eyeshadow.
4. The special eye look
Mascara often saves our day and provides volume, thickness or simply dark eyelashes. That’s why we rely on our daily companion on New Year’s Eve – in combination with eyeliner. Yes, eyeliner can become our enemy, but a small and subtle eyeliner drawn with eyeliner creates a particularly beautiful eye look. Olivia Culpo shows how it is done and skilfully highlights her eyes with eyeliner, which looks particularly sexy when lightly smeared and gives the eyes a visual lift. If the eyeliner is also drawn over the lower eyelid, a special eye look is created. In combination with blush and a nude lipstick, the beautiful look is rounded off.
5. Set the right highlights
If all of that isn’t enough for us or we want to add other highlights, we can simply focus on certain points on our face and follow the Dewy look. Luckily, there are highlighters that are quick and easy to use. As a stick, powder or cream, we apply the right glow in the right places and make ourselves the center of attention. Highlighters work wonders, especially on the higher areas of the face. We quickly placed the right accent on the cheekbones, the tip of the nose and lips and under the eyebrows, creating a beautiful glow that looks even stronger with lip gloss on the lips.
