New Year’s Eve Party Makeup - It’s Your Last Time to Shine in 2006
No doubt you brought the year in with a bang, so why not go out with equal impact? For some, New Year’s Eve Partying is non-stop — music, dancing and drinking. For others, the evening may be more intimate, with dinner and a toast to the new year. Either way, here are some makeup tips to help you sparkle and shine as you bring in the new year.
For the party girl who plans to get her groove on way past midnight, makeup longevity is key. So not only not only is long lasting makeup of importance important, but how you apply it is too.
New Year’s Eve this year falls on a Sunday, so you are able to get plenty of rest, eat something and drink plenty of water before that ball drops in Times Square at midnight.
Everyone can start with the basics:
1. Prep skin well with moisturizer and primer. Laura Geller Spackle and Smashbox Photo Finish.
2. Apply Foundation. Keep it light, only applying to areas that need coverage. Usually under eyes, around nose and mouth. Feather out to cheeks. Try a foundation brush for airbrush quality coverage. $24 at Sephora.
3. Set with loose powder. I prefer a velour puff to set powder.
4. Apply a blush with shimmer. My favorites are by NARS. Bump it up a notch from your usual day times application. Take your loose powder over your blush again to set it. (using a big powder brush)
5. Try Smoky Eyes. Click here for step by step.
6. Finish with shimmery, glossy lips. For long lasting gloss, try Laura Geller Lip Stay in Pucker or Pout. These dual sided lip colors have stain on one end and gloss on the other. So your lips shine and you have color for hours.
Final tips for long lasting makeup:
Set Eyebrows, eyeliner and lipcolor with BeneFit SheLaq. Makeup won’t party!
Carry a compact for shine touch ups.
Go ahead, get your party on!
