Your Excellency: Bright New Year’s Eve Trends
Fashion is capricious, and everyone who wants to stay in trend offers to play by its own rules, which are constantly changing. A couple of years ago, designers and makeup artists considered glitter to be the height of bad taste, but today everything is different, and they are again at the height of fashion. But the rule that stylists adhere to is especially relevant: clothes must contain no more than three bright accents… For example, by competently combining yellow, green, red, you can create a stylish look, including for New Year’s Eve.
When it comes to a New Year’s party, everyone, despite the restrictions, wants a colorful holiday. Perhaps that is why the main beauty trend of the coming year is 80’s disco, which implies everything fiery, bright and radiant. Gold, silver, bronze, shades of blue and purple, glitter, rhinestones, sequins, the effect of glowing skin – this night beauty should be dazzling. And in the spotlights, and in the muted night lighting, sparkles and rhinestones will shimmer and shimmer, creating a festive atmosphere.
Brilliant solution: focus on the eyes
An accent eye make-up will become relevant: in fashion withcurls of unusual shades, rainbow makeup и sloppy smoky eyes – no clear retouching. To make the look look festive, you can use colored eyeliner, apply glitter on the eyelids and shimmer – under the eyebrows. And large sparkles will only complement the image, the main thing is to take into account your color type and not be mistaken with a shade. For example, girls with a cold type of appearance should give preference to muted silver tones, with warm ones – beige and terracotta ones.
Tip: When choosing a liquid eyeliner with glitter, it is important that its shade is in harmony with the color of the eyeshadow. Also, do not combine gold and silver sequins.
Shining smile
The basic rule remains the same: if the emphasis is on the eyes, you should not choose a bright lipstick – this will allow you to maintain a balance. For example, bright red will look great with shaded arrows, and especially relevant on this night gold lipstick it will truly shine if, after applying it, you shade a drop of golden gloss in the middle of the lips. To embellish lips with glitter, you can use pearlescent nude lipstick, which, moreover, will give additional volume. Another way to achieve the desired effect is to pair 2 shades of shimmery lipstick.
Tip: when choosing makeup with glitter, you should also focus on either the lips or the eyes.
Glowing skin
This is another of the festive night trends. Makeup base with highlighter и blush-micaand shimmerwhich contains reflective particles is a must-have for those who want to enter 2021 in all its splendor. You can create a shimmery effect on the cheekbones not only with the help of a highlighter, but also thanks to light shimmering shadows. It is enough to mark the apples of the cheeks, the protruding parts of the forehead, the dimple above the lips, the bridge of the nose and hold them under the eyebrows.
Apply the shimmer over the foundation on the cheekbones, center of the forehead, chin. And using for the body – on the shoulders, neckline, arms and legs.
Another fashionable highlight will be sequins or glitterthat can be applied as freckles or on the cheeks instead of blush, as long as there are not too many of them. To prevent the glitter from crumbling ahead of time, you must use a special glue.
Tip: If you have a visible accent on radiant skin, it is better to ditch the shiny textures in your eye and lip makeup.
How to keep makeup on New Year’s Eve
The key to lasting makeup is thorough preparation. The golden rule is to use makeup base: firstly, it will protect the skin from the foundation, which often dries it out, and secondly, it will prolong the durability of the make-up.
In addition, for such cases, it is better to choose persistent products with marks. waterproof, water resistant, long lastingthat will not let you down even during the longest party.
Some makeup artists use instead of lipstick карандашby applying it all over the lips: it will last longer.
So that the shadows do not fail, you can use layering technique: Apply cream first and then crumbly.
Another way to prolong the hold of your makeup is to use catch – a tool that creates an invisible fixing film. It is sold as a spray and is applied as a last step. The fixer will help not to “float” makeup and reliably fix loose powder, shadows, blush and glitter.
Tip: It is important not to forget to take with you any products that you may need to fix your makeup, as well as a small package of matting wipes.

One of the features of New Year’s makeup is its expressiveness and brightness, but in moderation. It is better to decide right away what you want to focus on, on the eyes or lips. If you decide to focus on the eyes, one of the simple but fashionable options would be makeup with a different selection of colors for the upper and lower eyelids. For the upper eyelid, choose solid matte or shimmery shades in shades of silver, cold gold, sand or gray, and for the lower eyelid – more colorful shades, such as purple or green.
We emphasize the space between the eyelashes with black or dark brown eyeliner. For eyelashes, you can use not only classic black mascara, but also other, original, mascara colors.
In makeup for girls with light eyes it is better to use colors such as pink, blue, wine and marsh.
In makeup for girls with dark eyes colors such as gray, brown, purple and gold will look very impressive.
