New Year's Eve Sparkle!
It’s New Year’s Eve this weekend – the biggest party night of the year, so it’s time to ramp it up with your makeup, and add a bit of sparkle. Be creative – use rhinestones for nails on your face, mix tiny glitter stars with Vaseline and apply them to your eyelids – they’ll stick, trust me!
I suggest going for gold this Hogmanay with gold eyeshadow, gold nails, and a bit of gold sparkle. If you prefer silver, mix it with black for brilliant smokey eyes with a difference.
Here are 10 bling-tastic products to see you glittering and shimmering into 2012!
1. L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in 027 Goldmine (£6.99, boots.com) is just brilliant! Really beautiful white gold. I love this. 2. Chanel Liquid Eye Lines in 307 Or (£22, debenhams.com) is excellent. Apply above a black line for maximum effect, or along lash line to make your eye pop. 3 & 9. YSL Eyeshadow Duos in Silver Moire/Black Flannel and Gold Lame/Velvet Black (£28 each, debenhams.com), use the colours to create an alternative smokey eye. 4. Chanel Brilliant Extreme Lipgloss in 307 Sparkle D’Or (£20, debenhams.com) is gorgeous alone, or add a hint of gold to a bold lip with this! 5. Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in 407 Blazing Gold (£21, debenhams.com) is a bold gold, full of pigment. Use as a colour wash for a beautiful gold eye.
6. M&S Sparkle Duo Lip and Nail Duo in Gold (£6, marksandspencer.com) is the perfect set for a wee bit of subtle sparkle! 7. Body Shop Smoke & Sparkle Palette in Golden Brown (£14, thebodyshop.co.uk) will crete a soft smokey eye with just a hint of gold. There’s also a silver version. 8. Jemma Kidd Make Up School Crushed Jewel Crème Dui in Black Diamond (£12.75, beautybay.com) is a great little duo – cream shadow base, and matching glitter to use with for intense eyes, and alone for a little sparkle. 10. The Body Shop The Sparkler in Enchating Gold (£14, thebodyshop.co.uk) for the finishing touch – this gives a gorgeous golden, scented veil to your skin, with shimmer and glitter.
Have a good one! See you next year!
