Like my New Year’s Eve outfit Ideas, here is what I will be doing to my hair and makeup! I go for curls and smoky eyes! I have hazel/ green eyes so green complements them very well, so does mocha browns, gold and purple colors! If you have blue eyes then go for browns, earth toned shades, taupe, rose or purple shades. If you have brown eyes, then go for really any eye shadow but if you want your eyes to pop go for a green, blue, or gold color. (This look is also my everyday curly hair and go to green smoky eye!)
Makeup: I am doing a green smoky eye and nude lip.

| Tarte Clean Slate Poreless Face Primer, Tarte Clean Slate Eye Primer, Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched |
1. Prime eyes and face and apply chap stick to your lips. By priming you ensure that your eye and face products will be locked in and stay in place.
 |
| (Left) Covergirl Intense Shadowblast as my base. (Center) Maybelline Sunbaked Nuetrals Quad as my shadows, I used the last 2 green shades on the far right as my lid and crease color. (Right) Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool as my highlight for my brow bone and inner corner. |
2. Apply eye shadow base so that the shadows on the top will be vibrant and appear more opaque.
3. Sweep a light green color all over lid.
4. Put a darker green in the outer corner and crease and sweep it on the bottom lash line.
5. Blend!
6. Use a matte white color for highlighting the brow bone and the shimmery white to highlight the inner corner. By highlighting you lift and make the eye appear more bright and awake.
 |
| (Right) Revlon Colorstay Eyeline in Black Brown as eyeliner. (Center) Revlon Growluscious Mascara (lengthening) in Blackest Black. (Right) L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes (Volumizing) in Blackest Black. |
7. Apply liquid, gel, or pencil liner (whatever you prefer) in a complementary color or the same color as the color on your lid to the upper lash line.
8. (Optional) apply a black liner to the lower lash line. This will make the eyes appear smaller and more defined.
9. Curl lashes and apply mascara to the desired look.
10. Sweep the excess shimmer off below your eyes with a brush.
 |
| (Left) Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer as my under eye concealer. (Center) Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder in buff beige. (Right) Covergirl Clean Foundation in Buff Beige. |
12. Define your eye brows to make a sleek defined appearance. By filling them in with a powder, gel, or pencil you lift and slim the face.
 |
| (Left) Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Pink Frosting. (Center) Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer. (Right) Sonia Kashuk Shimmering Highlighter. |
13. Apply blush to the cheek bones/ highlighter to the bridge of your nose, center of forehead, and tops of your cheek bones/ and bronzer to the high points of your face (forehead and temples, below the cheek bones, and on the jaw line) to give a natural tan glow.
 |
| (Left) Sephora Long Wearing Lipstick in Maniac, it is a nude with shimmer and pink undertones. (Center) Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Illume. (Right) Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss in Healthy Blush. (Drugstore and High end choose of lip gloss, I only used the smashbox and sephora lip combo.) |
14. Finish the look off with a light pink or nude lipstick and lip gloss and you’re done!
Hair: I am doing loose curls!
1. Turn on curling iron.
2. Apply heat tamer spray and brush hair to distribute product all over; wait 5 minutes to let product sink into hair. Optional, apply gel to hair to hold curl more.
3. Section hair off by clipping up the top of your hair from the middle of the ear up.
4. Take 1 inch sections from the back and wrap around curling iron away from your face.
5. Hold for desired time, I have somewhat easy hair to curl so I hold it for 10 seconds. Then drop into your hand and hold for 5 seconds. (If you have really hard to curl hair, hold for a longer time on iron then pin curl to head and let sit till it’s cooled.)
6. Finish sectioning off hair and curling the same way, then hairspray all the curls.
7. (Optional) tease hair.
9. I like to apply a finishing crème in my hair to add more hold to the curls and to make my hair softer.
Okay so you are done with your complete NYE look!! Have a great night and see you next year!!!
