Make up tips New Year is a holiday which symbolises a new beginning, so it’s a great opportunity to shine, to experiment, to change and to surprise your friends with a new image. Every woman on New Year’s Eve wants to stand out from the crowd, to look stunning and to charm everyone around. In order to achieve your goal you need to start preparing in advance. Pamper your skin now if you haven’t yet so you look your best on the night. Don’t forget to use SPF protection daily as even if the sun is not visible it doesn’t mean you are safe. You should use it every day. As it’s cold and windy outside at this time of the year, your lips need special care. Moisturising lip balm should always be in your handbag. I recommend climate control lip treatment by Dermalogica. It’s my favourite lip care product which is formulated with exclusive Anti-Ozonate complex which helps damaged skin to recover from environmental assaults while providing the barrier against future ones. You can even use it on your skin if you have any dry patches or on your elbows if they are really dry. For more information visit www.dermalogica.co.uk. Let’s not forget our hands as well. Moisturise and make sure you wear gloves to keep them warm and protect them from the wind and cold. Going back to makeup, here are some guidelines on how to look more fashionable and stunning on the biggest night of the year. This Autumn/Winter season there are several key trends: simple smoky eyes, naturalness and bright lips. A perfect combination for that special occasion 38 look. Be brave this festive evening to alter these trends a little according to your taste and personal preference. Customise your very own makeup recipe for New Year’s celebration as it’s the perfect time to shine! Don’t be afraid of bright, intense, sparkling colours and glitter will definitely add that wow affect. If you decide to focus on your eyes and create that simple yet dramatic smoky look remember that is doesn’t have to be black. Use dark brown, grey, dark blue, purple or moss colours. The key thing to remember is blending. You should blend blend blend your eyeshadow really well. No harsh lines should be visible. Don’t be shy and smoke it out until you are happy with the result. Add a bit of sparkle in the centre of your eyelids by using glitter, it will catch the light nicely to make your eyes stand out. Finish this look with false eyelashes and you will be the Queen of the night. Keep your lips simple, nude will look great. Just remember if you have smoky makeup your skin should look perfect and flawless. This is easily achievable if you look after your skin on a daily basis. Cleanse and moisturise twice a day, exfoliate once or twice a week and drink lots of water. Your skin will look healthy and your makeup will look fabulous.
