We’ve compiled a list of hair and makeup ideas perfect for
any fashionista’s big night. Whether you’re planning a glamorous New Year’s Eve
out or a quiet night with close friends, these looks are great for whatever you have
planned when the ball drops.
Retro glam waves are classic and flattering on almost every
face shape. To get this look, apply some volume boosting mousse to damp hair
and blow dry upside down. Take a one inch barrel curling iron and curl one to two
inch sections away from your face.
Gently comb through curls and make sure to comb hair into a deep side part for a more glamorous look and added volume. Apply a medium hold hairspray and you are set to wow at any party.

Top Knot Ballerina
Bun
Slicked back hair draws attention to your face. It’s edgy and
perfect for a New Year’s out on the town, especially if you’re planning on
dancing all night. Comb a gel or smoothing serum through straight hair and
tightly tie into a ponytail.
For a more high fashion look, secure the ponytail on the top of your head. Then take the loose hair and wrap it around the ponytail and secure with bobby pins. Finish it off with hair spray and smooth down any fly-aways.

A wavy side
pony is the perfect balance of effortless and glam. It’s easy to do an
appropriate no matter what your New Year’s Eve plans. To achieve
the loose wavy look, take hair and curl with a one inch barrel curling iron. Then
secure hair to one side with a clear elastic, letting some pieces fall out to
frame the face; remember it’s alright if it looks a little messy.
Then take a
piece of the hair and wrap it around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin. For a sleeker look, straighten hair and apply a smoothing
serum to prevent fly-aways. Secure hair to one side with a clear elastic and
take a loose piece of hair and wrap it around the elastic. Secure any pieces
that may have fallen out of the ponytail with bobby pins.
Bold Red Lips

A red lip never goes out of style. It’s classic and
appropriate for any occasion. Be sure to find a red that complements your skin
tone. Tanner and more olive toned complexions look best when paired with warmer
reds. If you have fairer skin, stick with cooler red tones.
Start by applying a
balm to your lips to keep them moisturized. To ensure a perfect line, outline
lips with a red lip pencil before filling in with the lipstick. If you like a
more matte look, leave it as is, or coat with a clear gloss for added shine.
Smokey Eyes

A sexy smokey eye is perfect for a New Year’s out at your
favorite hot spot. To get this look, apply a base all over your upper and on
your lower eyelid that is one shade darker than your skin tone. Then apply a
dark brown or black pigment to your outer lid corner and crease and blend it
in.
Line your upper lids with a black liquid liner and your lower lids in a
coal pencil for added drama. Add a couple coats of black mascara and you are
ready to go.
Iced Metallics

Tis the season for fun, winter inspired lids. Embrace the
December frost with iced out metallic eye makeup. Prep lids with eye lid primer
and apply a crème eye shadow in either silver, white, or ice blue pigments.
Apply a white eyeliner to your lower lids and inner corners for a brightened effect
and add a coat of mascara to finish the look.
With these looks, you will be sure to wow at any party or
event this New Year’s. Be safe and have a fun and festive holiday fashionistas!
