I’ve been experimenting with some New Year’s Eve looks, I tried some insanely sparkly eyes and heavy smokey looks and although that’s the typical look for NYE, it just doesn’t suit me and I’d rather do a basic look than have glitter eyes for the sake of it – I’m forever jealous of girls who can pull it off and not get the glitter all over your face. Sadly, I cannot and I’ve saved the glitter for my nails.

Make-up
For my face, I applied a primer I trust to last on my skin, I then used Estée Lauder double wear for my foundation and the matching concealer for under my eyes. I then contoured with Chanel cream bronzer, set all that with Avon powder before adding illamasqua hustle blusher and ultraflesh highlighter*.
For the eyes I primed the lids with MAC painterly, then applied Nooner from the naked 3 palette in my crease, burnout on the lids with a little buzz patted on top (both also from naked 3 palette). I then used collection 2000 eyeliner, YSL shocking mascara and then a bit of nooner smudged under the eye. My lips are Guerlain Garconne which is my favourite bright red.

Nails
For my nails I used Barry M ‘Mushroom’ for the plain colour, OPI for sephora holiday collection gold glitter with Topshop ice sparkles on top and then the sequin is just a ciate sequin kit.

If any of you have any NYE looks, I’d love to see them x
