Beauty Video Tutorial: Sparkling New Year’s Eve Makeup
New Year’s is one of the best holidays for college students. The stress of finals and the semester is over and you can finally relax. New Year’s Eve is that night where all the rules go flying out the window and you just want to have as much fun as possible. So, throw on those lashes and that sequined party dress and live it up.
My favorite thing about New Year’s is all of the glitter! But, I know not everyone feels as strongly as I do about a good tube of glitter, so the look below can be achieved with or without the glitter. In the video below, I start off with a gorgeous and trendy silver smokey eye and add loads of black liner and lashes to take this look from Saturday night sassy to New Year’s Eve party-ready. Enjoy!
How to Get the Look:
Products Used:
- 88 Matte Palette – eBay
- Black Eyeliner – MAC Fluidline
- False Lashes – Ardell’s Demi Wispie
- Silver Glitter – NYX Glitter Powder
Tips on Finding Your Perfect Silver:
Not all silvers are created equal, and which ones look best on you depends on your skin tone. Here are a few guidelines to help you choose the perfect one:
- Fair skinned beauties are complemented by frosted, shimmery silvers.
- Medium toned bombshells look best in smooth dove greys.
- Darker skin toned babes look amazing in gorgeous graphite shades.
The look is very simple to achieve and I really hope you guys enjoy it!
Thoughts?
What is your go-to NYE look? What will you being doing when the ball drops? I hope you guys had an amazing 2011 and are more than ready to tackle everything 2012 has in store for you. Happy holidays!

Actually, I’m really pale but silvers don’t work for me – I look like I’ve passed away wearing silvers… I’ve got to wear darker colours.. :D

Gorgeous look!

It looks gorgeous on you! But I think I’ll stick to gold shadow, black eye liner, and maybe some false eyelashes. ;)

this is so pretty! your videos are always so easy to follow and i love your mix of high and low. i always stuck to gold shadows because of darker skin, but i might just have to try this for my NYE party this year!

Thank you for this- I’m completely clueless- I would like to do something similar but with gold. What complementary colour would you use (instead of black) -brown?
This is the colour of my eyes http://www.sueblimely.com/images/posts/2008/images-free-browneye.jpg and I have a skin tone similar to Thandie Newton if that helps.
Cheers!

You look beautiful.
