New Year’s Eve is one of my favourite nights of the year because it’s the one night we can go all out with our makeup. I am typically a less is more kinda gal but on NYE more is more. I am very excited to share my New Years Eve Beauty Must Haves with you.
Let’s embrace sparkle:
Why not fully embrace all the glittery fun products available to us to achieve dazzling makeup looks.
These products and tips will ensure you are the centre of attention. Let’s unleash that inner Beyonce ladies!
Ultra glowy skin
Use an illuminating primer – to achieve the most glow possible. I like to mix a pump of my illuminating primer into my foundation. This gives me an instant all over radiance and sets the tone for a sparkle filled New Year’s Eve Makeup.
Take it a step further by setting your face with a powder that has a glow to it rather than a matte option. Laura Mercier’s iconic setting powder comes in a glow option this season and I can not get enough of it. It’s also perfect for adding a bit of dazzle to the collar bone area and can even be used to give bare legs a shimmer.
Highlight
Highlighters are all the rage right now and we can go all out with this trend on NYE. Thanks to Laura Mercier achieving Instagram worthy highlight is easy. Glossy cheekbones are what the doctor ordered and can be achieved by using the Laura Mercier Mood Lights Illuminating trio. Simply swipe it onto the highest points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose and cupids bow and you are selfie ready.
For the eyes:
Glitter can be a bit tricky to work with but no worries I have found 2 outstanding mess and fuss free options. No need to worry about any mishaps with these gems. First off:
The Marc Jacobs see quins shadows are the ultimate in luxury glitter shadows.
- Achieve the sassiest NYE eye look in minutes with these glitter pots.
- The pigments are buildable so add a little or a lot depending on how intense you want your sparkle.
- It can also be used on the cheeks to further enhance that glow.
- Available in 6 beautiful shades
If you want a budget friendly glitter option, then the Hard Candy Glitter Gel Palette is perfect!
- It’s available at Walmart for $6 and is absolutely beautiful.
- It doesn’t feel sticky and they set into place upon contact with the skin.
Your Lips:
Another product from Hard Candy is the Press and Play liquid lipsticks.
These are a real favourite of mine!
- Apply it, it dries matte
- then smack your lips together and it transforms into a dazzling shimmery lipstick
If that doesn’t sound like the perfect lip product for New Year I don’t know what does.
Last but not least the nails:
With no time between Christmas and family gatherings to get a manicure these are the perfect solution. Kiss Products Impress stick on nails are available in a wide variety of bling options, you can achieve the perfect NYE manicure in minutes. All you have to do is remove the tab on the back of the nail and press down to stick. Talk about convenient!
Get your own stick on manicure from Amazon 🙂
Happy New Year Beauty’s !!!
I can’t wait to continue to share my makeup aisle finds with you in 2019.
