Your New Year's Eve make-up guide: The 3 looks that suit everyone
Share:
You will likely be doing one of four things this New Year’s Eve: eating out at a restaurant and being convivial; attending a house party getting soused; heading outside to watch fireworks and trying not to be excessively cold, or sitting on your sofa watching TV while eating abundantly and thinking the first three activities are madness, because you are so comfy.
The way I see it, it doesn’t much matter which of the four you’ve gone for, you’re going to need a good make-up look to accompany your journey into 2025. Yes, even those of you seeing it in watching Jools Holland’s Hootenanny by the warmth of a fire — actually, especially you: a sense of occasion, and all.
The internet is awash with intense and rather out there ideas for your make-up, as the internet is wont to do. I am firmly of the belief that anybody who is going to add Wicked-inspired green embellishments or fluttery chrome eyelashes is unlikely to be seeking advice from a beauty journalist, so I have decided to give you the opposite, a guide that encapsulates the three high-impact looks that suit everyone. Feel free to add glitter and sequins to your heart’s content.
Different reds suit different skin tones. The best one for you will make your teeth look white and skin seem healthy and suffused with life, with an easy litmus test being to hold the bullet up to your face and see which colours light you up. For example, I’ve got mid-brown hair with highlights towards the end and pale skin so find that an orange-toned red really makes both pop, brightening up my face.
