What makeup are you planning on wearing for New Year’s Eve? Share!
I will most likely wear something gold/bronze on the eye with teal eyeliner and glossy red lips! (I pretty much use Christmas and New Year’s Eve to use Chanel Dragon.)

I’ll be wearing my everyday neutral look with a light colored gloss. But that’s only because I’ll be spending New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day at work.
Whatever I wore that day at work! Maybe I’ll semi-glam it up a bit (I work NYE and NYD so no partying hard for me) but my serious makeup planning is going towards my white coat ceremony for pharmacy school…going rose gold for that! Naked3, Chanel Twinkle Glossimer (over probably a TF lipstick like Flynn), TF Blush Guilt as a highlighter…It’s going to take me two weeks to plan everything out because I’m a crazy person. My entire google search history is “rose gold makeup” and variations on that.
Congratulations on graduation from pharmacy school! You’ll be the poster child (woman) for beauty + brains.
Glad I’m not the only crazy person who plans makeup for special events weeks in advance! 😉
Congrats on pharmacy school!! PS. if you cant get the TF blush guilt, try Becca Rose Gold shimmering skin perfecter
If we stay in I prob won’t wear any. If we go out I’ll do a dark smokey eye and teal lipstick.
Classic – gold eye shadow (several to try from the Too Faced kit) and shiny red lips (current fave is Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer in Carnelian)
Probably my charlotte tilbury vintage vamp quad, my pressed guerlain meteorites, chanel jardin de camelias highlighter, giorgio armani blush in 509, either seventeen or anastasia contour palette, covergirl mascara (it’s a brown black shade with a curved wand in green packaging), possibly nars soft touch shadow pencil in empire or the matte brown shade in my ardell brow quad which I will also be using for my brows, lipstick will probs be something bold like ruby woo or girl about town.
EYES: 1 nude eyeshadow with cat eye done with glossy blue eye liner and black waterproof mascara. I have also been considering wearing a gold and blue look but I never wear gold so would not even know what to do it with it (maybe I’ll watch some tutorials for ideas).
FACE: a light matte peach blush, maybe a little bit of highlighter
LIPS: have not decided yet if I will wear a nude lip or get bold and wear an ombre (did I spell that correctly?) purple look
Because it’s been my go-to everyday look for EVER, and it’s finally in fashion, I will go 90s! A matte brown eye, with a natural dusty warm pink cheek, no contour per se, satin skin, and a browny lip with a balmy sheen. Ahhh that’s the life! 😀 Cool and cozy! 😀
I’m going to be flying to another country and would be absolutely exhausted from the 7-hour flight, so I probably wouldn’t bother wearing anything.
Ardency Inn Heaven is my main makeup style that day and maybe with a soft lip
A very emollient lip balm as I’m 39 weeks pregnant and due any day now 🙂
Make sure your face is thoroughly moisturized, as well! The dry hospital air will do a number on your skin. My daughter was born in the Summer, so I hadn’t been moisturizing as well as I should have, and I really regretted it…
Hope all goes well with the birth and that you and your baby are healthy. Best wishes. I would agree with Xamyx – use plenty of moisturizer on your skin because of the hospital air. Take a lovely body wash with you – for your first shower after the event. It will make you feel special. Good luck.
What a nice tip. I would never think of that.
I like to wear the colors that are in my dress, this year it’s dark blue with silver so I really want to pop my eyes with some heavy, silvery glitter and mabye a hint of dark blue in the crease. Nothing too difficult or complicated :p Oh and on the lips rebel from mac <3
Since we have to be at the airport at a pretty ungodly hour (our youngest is leaving for a 4-month co-op position in San Francisco), my NYE makeup will be coming off pretty early. Probably something from either Vice 3 or Too Faced’s Everything Nice palette with MAC Rebel on my lips.
I will wear Tom Ford Cognac Sable on eyes, TF Love Lust or Frantic Pink on cheeks and TF Flamingo lipstick. That should go together as a nice festive New Years Eve look!
Some black glittery eyes and my new Rihanna Viva Glam 2 with a purple liner!
Ohh love that idea!
I’ve decided! And I will post the look tomorrow 🙂 It features a lot of MAC products.
I always love busting out the sparkle on NYE, but I’ve found that ever since I got it, the Chanel Tisse Venitien has been my go-to for special occasions. That color combination just looks amazing on my brown eyes, and it’s super easy to achieve. I’ll probably pair it with Viva Glam II and some gloss!
I really like VGII, both sheered out and full on. One of the best nude lipsticks around IMHO.
Sugarpill Magentric with some other stuff added for dimension, maybe a little bit of MUFE D200 Crystalline Mauve for added sparkle. I might do Beaute Fluron stain on my lips. I love a strong mouth and would love to wear something dark, but with so much drinking and eating and kissing, a stain sounds more practical and a pop of bright pink might be fun.
We stay in New Year’s Eve-too many drunken idiots on the road-so nothing… However, we’re going to the movies New Year’s Day, but I haven’t figured it out, yet… I will most likely wear something from Naked 3, as I still haven’t used it, and I’ve had it over a year!
Home body! No glam for me 😛
Monica
I’m not 100% committed yet but I’m thinking bronze eye (mac tempting over a cream bronze base, obviously with transition colors in the crease and maybe some mulch on the outer third) and glowy skin. I got hourglass icon lipstick for christmas and I’m DYING to wear it, but it’s not exactly kiss friendly 🙂 I may use it as a stain just to give my lips a berry look – I’m sure it will be pretty much gone by midnight anyway.
I’m thinking a dark smokey eye using my Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate palette, subtle cheeks and Nars audacious lipstick in Vanessa (because I have to)
I usually stay in, so whatever I wear that day. I can’t remember the last time I went somewhere for NYE. I need a life… lol
Glitter! Basically, all of the things that are too much of a glitterbomb to wear on normal days.
If I wear my gold dress I’ll do gold eyes and red lips (Urban Decay F-bomb) but if I wear my silver dress I’m doing silver eyes and plum lips (plum adagio from L’Oréal, haven’t worn it yet!)
IF we were going out, I would most likely be breaking in to my New Too Faced Return of Sexy Palette, it was a Christmas gift….but with a two year old I will most likely be staying in & maybe just relaxing with mud mask 🙂
Charlotte Tilbury The Rock Chick palette
Armani Eyes to Kill mascara + individual lashes
Urban Decay Demolition
Chanel Camelia Rose blush
Guerlain Meteorites 02 Teint Beige
Dior addict Diorkiss
Probably Spice on my eyes and Bruised Plum on my lips. Just loved the combination.
I plan to be in the pool all day, so SPF and lip balm! (which is not really makeup, but oh well…)
I’ll probably be at home in my pj’s and robe, doing a facial mask to set me up for the new year!
Aqua eyeliner metallic eyeliner to match a neon peachy and aqua dress, a muted matte purple blush,
and a hit of aqua glitter on the out corner of the eyelids
suggestions are welcome, I am not sure to wear lipstick christina, I don’t have lip gloss and the only
lighter lipstick I own is a warm dark pink/brown I have, earring are still a big question mark I was think of one of rose gold I have or plane black stones.
Hi! You can Dan your blush on your lips! Just use Chapstick or whatever lip balm you use, first, and then dab it on! If you want to add more color, in the ce get of that, on your not time lip, add a dab of aqua glitter or the eyeshadow and it will give it a cyber visual effect! 😀 I hope that helps a bit! Happy New Year! 😀 or, if you have Vaseline, just add a thick dollop for a natural plump out! Stays hydrating! Use it as your lip base before the blush:eyeshadow and have fun! 😛
We’re not going out. So, I plan on keeping it pretty casual.
Even though I’m going to be staying in with a couple of friends, I still want to wear something fun. It’ll probably be similar to my Christmas look — gold eyes and red lips — but with glitter! I’m thinking of using the Naked 1 palette, Mrs. Mia Wallace lipstick and lip liner, and Lit glitter in Rhinestone Cowboy.
20s inspired! To go with my low waisted dress and fringed burnout kimono!
I may do that glittery star-thing over one eye with a black lip….or maybe a burgundy smokey eye depending on what I’m wearing to work tomorrow.
I will be wearing my Charlotte Tilbury’s the Rebel to go with my lovely new green top. For lips – it will be Elizabeth Arden’s Ginger Spice.
Charlotte T, Rocker Chick, night version. Over my Josie Maran argan oil skin illuminizer.
If I do anything it will be last minute. So a rushed 10 minute face. On Friday we have people coming over for a holiday wrap up party. I’m going to make my Spicy Lamb Bolognese. I’ll be sporting navy winged liner and red lips as I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone for 2015.
We’re staying in, but I’ll probably do something glamorous anyway (not like I have anything better to do than out on makeup!). I suspect a gold eye and red lips, since I don’t usually have an excuse to wear something so bold!
Most likely a purpley-silvery eye with a Revlon “Roseberry” mineral blush and a muted lip, since I’ll be drinking and want to be able to get away without gloss/lipstick.
I haven’t decided yet, but I’m learning toward gold holographic glitter with a black smokey eye.
I have not decided yet.. may be smudged liner with bold red lips!! 🙂
I’ve developed a tradition Over the last few years of wearing the Pantone colour of the year, so I’m thinking a nice orchid lip colour. Maybe Nars Angela.
Not sure. I got a lot of makeup for Christmas so maybe something Colourpop.
Dragon will go bad if you don’t use it :)))
