6 Steps to Glamorous New Year’s Eve Makeup

If you’re aiming for a glamorous look to ring in the New Year (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), with makeup that lasts until morning, just follow these 6 steps:

1 Prep your face: A good primer is essential for long-lasting makeup. Choose one that smooths your skin and keeps everything in place for hours.

2 Apply foundation: Start with a light layer of a product that gives your skin a subtle glow, then follow with a liquid foundation for a flawless finish.

3 Add blush: Make your cheeks pop with a touch of liquid blush that blends easily for a fresh, natural look. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward using your fingers or a brush.

4 Make your eyes stand out: Apply a shimmery eyeshadow to the crease of your eyelid. Follow with eyeliner to create a bold cat-eye or a subtle wing, depending on your vibe. Finish with a few coats of mascara for long, voluminous lashes that will last through a night of dancing.

5 Classic red lips: Red lipstick is a New Year’s Eve staple. Outline and fill your lips with a matching lip liner for precision and staying power, then top with a satin or semi-matte red lipstick to keep your lips looking flawless.

6 Set your makeup: Lock in your look with a setting spray to ensure it stays perfect all night long, no matter how late the party goes.
