New Year’s Eve makeup step 2: Prepare your New Year’s Eve eye makeup

Once you’re happy with your face makeup, you can move on to the highlight of your New Year’s Eve styling: your eye makeup. In this step, we will be applying a base that will make your eye shadow glow later. It also ensures that your eye makeup lasts the whole evening. You can either use a light, creamy eye shadow, or apply a special eye shadow base.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 3: Apply light eye shadow

The next step is to apply eye makeup for New Year’s Eve. Take a light eye shadow of your choice and apply it to your closed eyelid. It’s best to use a flat eyeshadow brush and make sure that you only colour the eyelid.

Tip: Eye shadow that softly shines and glitters is perfect for your makeup for New Year’s Eve. You will be sparkling all evening on the biggest night of the year.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 4: Add depth to your New Year’s Eve makeup look

For the next step, choose a darker shade that perfectly matches your lighter eyeshadow colour. Apply a little dark eye shadow with a smaller blending brush. Before you apply it, give it a quick tap to make sure you don’t have too much product on the brush. Start at the outer corner of the eye and shade your crease. Use light pressure and circular motions to work your way towards the centre of the crease, allowing the dark shade to gradually fade.

Gradually work your way up and intensify the colour by repeating this step.

Tip

If you use a matte eyeshadow for this step, your eyes will shine even brighter and the glitter from your New Year’s Eve makeup will really come to life.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 5: Highlight the lower lash line

Next, take the same dark shade you used in the previous step and apply it very lightly to the lower lash line with the brush. It’s best to be gentle here, apply very little colour and stay very close to the lower lash line.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 6: Extra glitter for the wow effect for your New Year’s Eve eye makeup look

What would New Year’s Eve be without a little extra glitter? To make your eye makeup eye-catching, add a little more glitter. You can either use glitter pigments or liquid eye shadow with a metallic or glitter effect. Dab a little glitter on your closed lid and blend the transitions to create a harmonious look.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 7: Highlight the look

To make your eyes shine a little more, use a bright, softly shining, eye shadow as a highlighter. To do this, take a thin eye shadow brush and apply a light eye shadow to the inner corner of your eyes. Alternatively, you can use your little finger for this step.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 8: Seductive lashes for New Year’s Eve

Next, it’s time for your eyelashes. Start by applying mascara. To intensify your look, you can even apply false eyelashes. The most natural look is best achieved by adding single false lashes in the right places, rather than gluing on a complete false lash line. This makes your lashes look fuller, but not artificial.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 9: Apply highlighter for a shimmery New Year’s Eve look

Now that your New Year’s Eve eye makeup has become sparklingly eye-catching, you need some highlighter on your face. Take a flat highlighter brush and apply the shiny powder above the cheekbones, on the tip of the nose and on your Cupid’s bow.

New Year’s Eve makeup step 10: Lips with gloss and glitter rounds off your New Year’s Eve makeup look

The only thing missing is your lips. To avoid stealing the show away from your eye makeup, use a light colour with glitter particles. Lightly coloured lip-glosses that subtly accentuate your lips work best.

Your perfect New Year’s Eve makeup is ready to stun your guests! We hope you have fun with your makeup on New Year’s Eve and have a fantastic party.
