The magic of New Year's Eve is undeniable. A night full of hopes, dreams, and lots of glitz. When it comes to makeup for this special occasion, one word comes to mind: shimmer. Shimmer can be subtle or bold, but no matter how you choose to wear it, it's going to make a statement. Shimmer on your eyes, cheeks, and even your lips will catch the light and make you sparkle just like a New Year's Eve firework. So don't shy away from a bit of glitz and glam—it's the perfect time to shine.
So how do you incorporate shimmer into your New Year's Eve makeup look? Start with your eyelids. A shimmery eyeshadow is a must-have for this special occasion. Choose a color that complements your outfit—silver and gold are classic choices, but a shimmering navy or purple can also look stunning. Apply the eyeshadow all over your lid and blend it well, concentrating the most shimmer near the center of your lid for the most impact. But don't stop there. Add some shimmer to your lower lash line for a unified, glamorous look. And of course, don’t forget to apply mascara and complete the eye look with a standout winged liner.
Next, add a bit of shimmer to your cheeks. Apply a shimmering highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones and blend it in well. This will catch the light and give you a gorgeous glow. For an extra touch of glamour, dab a bit of the same highlighter on the tip of your nose and your cupid’s bow. Lastly, consider a shimmery lipstick. These are not as common, but can look stunning for a New Year's Eve party. Choose a color that complements your eyeshadow and outfit. Finish off your look with a setting spray to ensure your glitz and glam lasts all night long. Remember, New Year's Eve is one night where you can't overdo the shimmer—so go ahead, sparkle and shine.
