  2. Apply a light lilac powder eyeshadow over your lids, blending it right up on to your brow bone. I like Marks&Spencer eyeshadow in pale lavender.
  3. Layer a dark purple shadow shade over your lids, like Prestige Cosmetics skin loving minerals eyeshadow in opal.
  4. Line your upper lash line and the upper and lower inner rim of your eyes with a metallic grey kohl pencil to make the white of your eyes stand out. Look for one with a hint of glitter, like Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in meteorite, to give a gorgeous hint of sparkle.
  5. Keep skin looking natural by using an apricot blush like 17 Sheer finish mineral blushrimmel london rich moisture crea 1187103830 med Amazing Amethyst makeup idea for New Years magical night in natural, over your cheeks. Don’t be tempted to go too pale – you’ll look dead, not just a bit vampish!

  1. jessica biel big red lips 150x110 Ruby Rule makeup idea for New YearUse liner to stop lip color bleeding. Line your upper lip first, from the middle of your cupid’s bow and out. Then line your lower lip. Try Revlon colorstay lipliner in red.
  2. Use a lip brush to neatly fill your lips with a bright ruby red, creamy lipstick. I’ve tried Rimmel London lasting finish lipstick in red hot shade.
  3. Blot lips lightly using a tissue – don’t press lips together or you will risk the color running outside the edges.
  4. For a fuller finish, use a red sparkly gloss like L’Oreal glam shine lipgloss in blush mania.
  5. When wearing strong lip color keep the rest of your makeup understated. Apply a light, matte grey shadow like Miss Sporty mono shadow in grey, over lids and line your upper lash line with a black kohl pencil. Apply lashings of mascara. I love L’Oreal Telescopic clean definition in black.
  6. Sparkly bronzer gives skin flattering shimmer. Try Superdrug solait golden glow bronzer.

For longer – lasting lip color, first blend you lip liner all over your lips to stain them and act as a base for the lipstick to cling to.

  1. billy b beauty 124x150 Emerald eyes New Years Eve makeup suggestionTake a light green metallic shadow shade and blend over your lid, up on to your brow bone and along your lower lash line. I like Barry M Dazzle Dust in 72.
  2. Next, layer on a darker green shadow shade over your lids to add intensity. You can try Rimmel London color loose shadow in vert.
  3. Use a brown kohl pencil, like Wet N Wild eyeliner in bran, to line the inside corner of your upper and lower lashes – black will look too harsh.
  4. Don’t layer on mascara, just apply one coat for a natural look.
  5. A baby pink blush looks great against green eyes. Swirl Maybelline dream mousse blush in mauve, over the apples of your cheeks for a pretty flush of color.aaaaalwgluaaaaaaapzvtw Emerald eyes New Years Eve makeup suggestion
