Makeup ideas for New Year's Eve!

I love holiday makeup cause I feel like you can get away with trying something a little more extreme. Here are some looks that I have been loving and wearing for xmas parties!!

1. Glitterbomb

Nothing says holiday makeup like some glitter! Just keep in mind that you need to tone down the rest of your face. A good choice would be to use a light foundation that will leave your face looking very natural.

Try: MAC Antique Gold Reflects glitter, MAC Reflects Pearl glitter, LIT Cosmetics glitters. 

Cheaper alternatives: Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in fgd9, fgd10 or fgd15.

2. Smoke(y) Signals

A smokey eye is a great choice for evening makeup. The good thing is you do not have to limit yourself and you can do this look with practically any color. A nude or light pink lip would be the perfect choice!

Try: MAC Blackground paint pot, MAC Smolder kohl pencil, MAC eyeshadows in Carbon (black), 

Cranberry, Humid (green) or Deep Truth (blue). 

Cheaper alternatives: Sleek palettes in Original, Sunset or Ultra Matte V2.

3. Class all the way

A really great look for New Year's Eve is the classic winged liner. You can try this either with a red or a neutral lip. This look would look amazing with any dress and it is relatively easy to achieve (practice makes perfect in this case)! :)

Try: Clinique gel liner in True Black, MAC Ruby Woo, MAC Russian Red, MAC Honeylove, MAC Hue.

Cheaper alternatives: Maybelline gel liner, Revlon Matte in Really Red, 

Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple, Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude, 
Rimmel Moisture Renew in Nude Delight.

4. Super Vampy

This fall/winter trend is great if you want to make a statement. Try a soft eye makeup or just mascara and put on your darkest lipstick.

Try: MAC Rebel, MAC Diva or MAC Film Noir. 

Cheaper alternatives: Rimmel Kate in 004, Revlon Super Lustrous in Black Cherry.
