Shine brighter than the stars. That's our goal for New Year's Eve night. Eye makeup with shiny eyeshadows is a must for the New Year's party, making it ultra-shiny with palettes, face illuminators, and glossy lipsticks. Don't worry, it's nothing complicated because the beauty trends of 2023 have simplicity as their common denominator, combined with a striking impact. A sprinkle of diamonds and some iridescent shimmer on the eyes (and even the hair) is enough to make even the simplest outfit special. A spray of glitter hairspray, shimmer tones for the eyes, highlights in the right places, and shiny lipsticks are the basic ingredients for the New Year's Eve make-up.
Here are 5 glow ideas and the products to achieve them.
Frosty Shimmer Eyes
FKA Twigs consistently surprises us with avant-garde looks both in everyday life and on the red carpet. The frosty makeup created by Raoul Alejandre is perfect for the party season. Apply a sparkling lilac eyeshadow on the eyelids, blend a mauve shade on the upper part of the eyelid, and finally, another shade of purple, more intense but equally sparkling, below the lower lash line. Finish with black eye pencil and mascara on the lashes. The frosted shades continue on her lips with a pink ombre lipstick, made shiny by a glittery gloss applied in the center of the lips.
Shimmer Lipstick
The inspiration is Jodie Turner-Smith at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2023 with rhinestone red lips that capture attention. The shimmer lipstick, especially with Rouge Dior Forever Liquid in its latest super shiny finish, has become popular, combining the Y2K trends of the late '90s and early 2000s with glam reminiscent of the brilliance of New York City's Studio 54. The glittery effect can be from the lipstick itself or achieved by adding a final touch of glittery gloss. If you want to copy Jodie, let the red lips take center stage, mark the eyes with a thick stroke of black pencil, apply a shimmery silver eyeshadow near the tear duct and finish with mascara. For added glow, opt for a highlighter on the cheekbones, tip of the nose and forehead.
Metal Fever
Gold, silver, bronze, but also purple, blue, green. As long as we are in a metallic version. Metallic make up is one of the coolest and brightest trends of recent months, to be shown off en pendants with outfits and accessories. The secret is to apply the eyeshadow on the entire eyelid and continue in the lower rim of the eye. To amplify the glow effect, green light to illuminates and sculpt the facial features and for those who want a total look, even the lips have a metallic finish.
Glitter Make-up
Isamaya Ffrench is the inspiration for this glitter make up. Glitter illuminated the whole face, eyelids, skin and lips, playing with an ultra gloss finish that gives a glow so dazzling it would put Hailey Bieber to shame. The key is to use gel or cream products that add glow and iridescence.
Glitter Hair
Barbie party magic meets Showgirls. The trend to try to sparkle on New Year's Eve? Glitter hair. The main inspiration is Elizabeth Berkley's character in the 1995 film directed by Paul Verhoeven. Her looks with graphic-effect glitters on her semi-pinned hair that make en pendant with the make-up was also recently copied by Ariana Grande, they were revisited by Sophie Turner for the 2019 Met Gala, and they are back in vogue again thanks to Glitter in Gold, the new line dedicated to hair hairstyling by Zara Beauty with renowned hairstylist Guido Palau. Making glitter hair is super easy with a sparkling spray, but if you want more precise and defined lines or graphics better to opt for a gel product to be spread directly on the locks.
