The shine and shimmer of New Year's makeup with sparkles is mesmerizing, but we can see such experiments mainly on the pages of glossy magazines. Even after taking the risk of bringing such an image to life, the question immediately arises: where can you go dressed like this? New Year's Eve is just the right time for such transformations! This holiday is more suitable than ever for flights of fancy and bold experiments. Glitter will undoubtedly add brightness and expressiveness to the image.

Matching eyeshadow colors

It is better not to jump from color to color, so as not to look like the main symbol of the New Year - a multi-colored Christmas tree. It is worth deciding on the basic color scheme of the festive dress and manicure. At the same time, it is not necessary to stop at just one color: the main thing is that several colors or shades look harmonious together.

In 2018, according to the eastern calendar, preference should be given to the following colors in makeup:

• coffee and its shades;
• gray;
• yellow and gold;
• green or olive, emerald.

Universal will be white or silver-white.

Features of New Year's makeup

The main requirement for holiday makeup is its durability, since New Year's parties often last until the morning. To do this, you should use only high-quality decorative cosmetics, preferably waterproof versions, especially if you plan to go outside where it may snow.

• In addition, it is recommended to use modern products: a makeup base and an eye shadow base, which will prevent the shadows from rolling off. To fix all the makeup, you can use a special fixative spray.
• Use false eyelashes to make your eyes appear more open. They are also ideal for photographs, since photography “eats up” some of the makeup - you don’t have to be afraid of appearing too bright.
• It is advisable to do several “practices” on the chosen makeup option, since in the pre-New Year bustle something may not work out the first time or it may turn out that the necessary cosmetics are not at hand. It is better to think through such options in advance and prepare.

A bright emphasis should be placed on only one “element” of the face: either on the eyes or on the lips.

Instructions for creating “brilliant” makeup

Glitter makeup has some features and rules, the observance of which will allow you to achieve the desired result. Otherwise, the glitter may fall off, the colors will not match each other, and the makeup as a whole will bring disappointment.

Basic Rules:

1. Makeup artists believe that amateurs will not be able to combine any eyeshadow color well with glitter, so they recommend using black, pink, silver and gold eyeshadow. They go perfectly with glitter and shimmer.
2. It is worth limiting yourself to the number of color palettes. It is recommended to use only 2-3 bright shades that match the dress or eye color.
3. To securely fix the glitter, you can use regular Vaseline instead of glue for false eyelashes. It is convenient to apply it to the eyelids using a cotton swab, where the shimmering composition is then applied.
4. Using the applicator, you can apply a shiny line along the eyelash row; often the corners of the eyes or the lower eyelid are chosen for shiny shadows;
5. For “brilliant” makeup, you need the addition of voluminous and thick eyelashes.
6. If you really want to or have the appropriate look, you can also use colored mascara that will match the shades used in your makeup.
7. Especially brave representatives of the fairer sex resort to the following option: they glue several rhinestones along the eyelash row or at the outer corner of the eye. This performance will definitely attract the attention of others.

Thus, creating a royal holiday makeup following the instructions is not so difficult. However, if difficulties arise with such options, you can resort to simpler ones. For example, use a store-bought eyeliner with glitter - it is much easier to apply, and the result is almost the same.

New Year's eye makeup using a gold pencil

In this option, a pencil will be used as a base for the shadow. The color scheme will go perfectly with green, gray or brown eyes.

1. Prepare the eyelids for makeup using an eyeshadow base. Apply a couple of times on top with a wide brush with powder.
2. Using a brown pencil, we create the basis for further makeup. To do this, draw a line along the eyelashes on the lower and upper eyelids, as well as the crease of the eyelid.
3. Shade all the lines, while slightly stretching the outer corner towards the temple. We get a frame of the eye in a brown shade and a light central part of the upper eyelid.
4. We achieve a smooth transition and boundaries using a brush.
5. Apply medium-tone golden shadows to the entire upper eyelid, paying maximum attention to its central part.
6. Apply a lighter shade of golden color to the lower eyelid and the inner corner of the eye.
7. Apply liquid eyeliner along the eyelashes on the upper eyelid.

Lightly shape the area under the eyebrow with a light color and cover the eyelashes with voluminous black mascara.

New Year's version in turquoise-golden color with shimmer

The combination of these shades is very popular and is suitable for brown, gray or blue eyes.

1. We prepare the eyelids in the usual way.
2. As a base, we use matte shadows of a neutral brown shade, which we cover the crease of the upper eyelid and the outer corner, while slightly stretching the color towards the temple. carefully extinguish the borders.
3. Apply turquoise color with shimmering particles to the outer corner. It is worth making sure that the outer corner is slightly raised, otherwise the eyes will appear sad.
4. The next step is to use golden shadows with shimmer, which we apply to the opposite side of the eyelid - in the inner corner of the eye and the middle of the upper eyelid up to the crease.
5. We use them for eyeliner of the lower eyelid.
6. We highlight the area under the eyebrow using milky light shades, which also have pearlescent shimmer.
7. We draw the upper eyelid with a thin black arrow, slightly moving the outer tip upward.

To complete your eye makeup, use voluminous mascara or false eyelashes.

New Year's makeup with glitter

There are several options for decorating makeup using sparkling elements. The most common are shadows with shimmer. But an equally convenient and effective option can be obtained if you use glitter in crumbly form, special or for nail design. To fix them on the face or eyelid, use eyelash glue, Vaseline, eye shadow base or liquid eyeliner.

For ease of application, use a brush or a pre-moistened applicator - this helps to catch the glitter. The area for their application is most often chosen: the central part of the upper eyelid, the area under the eyebrow, the entire upper eyelid or the inner corner of the eye.

Nowadays, decorating the cheekbone area with regular sparkles or larger shiny elements in the form of stars is becoming increasingly popular. Most often, their color is chosen depending on the rest of the makeup. Rhinestones for the face and eyes are increasingly common.

The easiest way is to use liquid glitter eyeliner. At the same time, the rest of the eye makeup is usually done more than modestly. The accent is achieved with the help of a shiny arrow. For the base, first draw an arrow with black eyeliner, and then draw it on top with a shiny one. You can choose the color at your discretion: blue, gold, silver or gold.

The most important thing is not to be afraid of experiments, especially since New Year’s Eve is perfect for this!

The easiest way to gradually introduce glitter into your makeup and learn how to wear it is to use liquid eyeliner with glitter. Draw regular arrows along the edge of the eyelash, as you are used to doing with black eyeliner, and as a base for the moving eyelid, you can use plain matte shadows.

2. Glitter under the eyebrows

We recently talked about a new and unusual trend - glitter under the eyebrows. This is what we were taught by popular beauty bloggers, who suggest applying glitter directly on or under the eyebrows - it looks incredibly stylish, but if you decide on such an experiment, you should think through your entire look down to the smallest detail. Makeup should be minimalistic and as discreet as possible, because the main emphasis will unexpectedly be... on the eyebrows!

3. For the entire moving eyelid

Mono-makeup using glitter is the hottest trend. Choose loose glitter of one shade. Apply special glue to the entire moving eyelid and cover it with glitter. The perfect and at the same time very simple makeup for a party is ready!

4. Glitter in the inner corner of the eye

Eye strobing is a new trend in makeup that you can safely start mastering. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with glittery shadows or even large glitters.

5. Glitter Powder

Powder with a slight shine or a special body spray (for example, from the Guerlain brand) is the easiest and most unobtrusive way to add a fashionable accent to your look, and at the same time not to overdo it. Apply a light shine to your shoulders and décolleté - this will also help highlight your summer tan.

6. Glitter on lips

Glitter on the lips is exclusively an evening story. This option is not suitable for everyday makeup, but if you are going to a party, this is the best option. You can use lipstick with shiny particles, but if you want to be truly on trend, apply dry glitter to your lips with a brush.

Glitter is back in fashion. However, the main question is how to wear them? The solution is calm styling that will balance out expressive makeup. So, a classic suit, an interesting cut shirt or a laconic dress will turn shining lips and cheekbones into a witty accent. Below are 6 illustrative examples.

For this makeup we used clear and gold glitter, small and larger. Apply it to the highest points of your cheekbones where you would normally blend highlighter. Pre-distribute the glitter base over the application area so that it sticks to the skin. If you don't have a base on hand, a regular lip balm will do.

How to do it: Face & Body Glitter Brilliants from NYX, body glitter in Silver 66 from Inglot, Glitter Primer from NYX, Shimmer Dust glitter powder, Gold Glitter No. 1 from Burberry.

For the winged version, you will need a glitter base or regular lip balm. Don't be shy - choose larger glitter. For this look, we used Inglot eye and body glitter and used a brush to apply it along the edge of the lash line, imitating a wing. There are a lot of options: leave a separate shiny line or complement your black arrows with a line on top. Make a broad stroke, filling the entire space of the upper eyelid, or draw a winged art like this makeup artist Pat McGrath. Glitter on the eyelids looks appropriate and fresh.

Before applying glitter to your eyelashes, don't forget to coat them with mascara. We used the trusted Le Volume de Chanel for the shoot. After this, apply a glitter base to your eyelashes.

They should not be used on the T zone, as this will create an unnecessary oily tint.

Larger glitter makeup can brighten up your eyes.

To keep them in place, you should lay them on powder. If there are a lot of them, then use a special glue-gel to fix them for a long time.

To secure them you need to use special glue or gel. , which can be purchased at cosmetics stores. They help sparkling grains of sand last better and longer. Clean the area well before applying glue.
