New Year's Eve Glam

With 2019 hours away, the last excuse to wear glitter for the year is calling. Whether you’re off clubbing, heading out for a meal or staying in to celebrate the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, here’s how to create my New Year’s Eve Glam.

SKIN PREP:

Giving your skin some love is essential. I use the following to achieve a smooth, healthy natural glow…

• Masks:

  • Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque - applied over the T-zone to help minimise pores.

  • Kiehl’s Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque - applied over the rest of the face to hydrate skin in the cold weather.

• Kiehl’s Youth Dose Eye Treatment - lightly tapped under the eyes to smooth and brighten

• Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream - I’ve found this works as the ultimate moisturiser and makeup primer all in one!

• Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector - to refine skin texture and minimise appearance of pores

• YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer - a favourite for achieving an extra glow

Eyes:

An unpopular makeup habit, but I would typically apply all my face makeup before doing my eyes, however as I’m using glitter I’m starting on the eyes to make it easier to brush away excess/fallen glitter.

• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

• NYX Eyeshadow - sweep the white shade over the lid and across the first half of the inner corner lower lash line

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette:

  • ‘Buon Fresco’ as the transition shade, applied in the crease and the outer half of the lid, pulled out towards the brow bone

  • ‘Love Letter’ and ‘Venetian Red’ in the crease

• The Gypsy Shrine ‘Rainbow Illusions Glitter Palette’ - gold shade pressed onto lid over white shade

• Optional step for extra glitter - The Gypsy Shrine ‘Gold Eclipse Glitter Gel Pot’

• YSL Dessin du Regard Waterproof Eye Pencil - along top and bottom waterline

• Maybelline Master Ink Liquid Liner - along top lash line

• MAC Full Lash Curler

• IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara followed by Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara

• Eyelure Luxe Collection Cameo Lashes

• Benefit Eye Bright - to brighten the inner corners of the eyes

FACE:

• Bobbi Brown Corrector in ‘Light Bisque’ - under the eyes to counteract dark circles

• NARS ‘Copacabana’ Illuminator - on the cheekbones, brow bones, down the nose and over the cupids bow

• YSL All Hours Liquid Foundation - BD35

• YSL Touche Éclat - 1.5

• YSL All Hours Concealer - 3.5

• Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish - 1 Fair

  • ‘Banana’ shade under the eyes

  • ‘Fawn’ and ‘Java’ shades for contouring the cheekbones

• Too Faced Love Flush - ‘Justify My Love’

• MAC ‘Soft & Gentle’ Mineralize Skinfinish - in all the same places as the NARS illuminator

BROWS:
