Fun Makeup Looks to Try in the New Year

There’s nothing better than a gorgeous blush look to rock in the New Year, so to get the most gorgeous base, use a contour blush look. Choose a blush that matches your skin tone to achieve this look. If you have fair skin, the colour you should choose is similar to how your skin would naturally blush (spoiler alert: that’s probably baby pink). Consider using the colour of your lips as a reference if you need clarification on your natural blush shade.

Warm red and orange blushes will add a natural flush of colour. For an effortless look, bright berry and mauve shades are a great choice if you have cool undertones.

For olive skin gals, peach and bronze hues will add a natural flush to the complexion.

Be daring with super orange-toned hues if you have medium skin, which shines with peach-pink and apricot tones.

With a Kabuki brush or a beauty blender, apply the blush to your cheeks and temples, where you would generally contour, building up the colour as you go.

To make this an extra glam look, you can pair a sparkly eyeshadow look and a cute red lippie.

We recommend using Nars Blush as a powder product. You can choose from 19 colours that will suit different skin tones. The shimmery finish is natural and buildable, and it blends smoothly.

If you want to achieve a glowing/natural look, try using a cream blush. The Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks is a great way to create a flattering blush. This brush is easy to apply, has excellent coverage, and can also be used on lips!

The New Year is a time to reflect on the year and anticipate what 2023 will bring. It’s time to be fabulous and adventurous with your makeup, adding sparkle and having fun!

There have been many gorgeous graphic eyeliner looks on social media in 2022, and many Euphoria fans are trying many colourful looks out. So why try out the vibrant liner trend yourself?

There are many ways to achieve this look, like a colourful cat wing or a reverse cat eye, so choose according to your preference, but you can’t go wrong with a striking thick cat eye done with a statement eyeliner.

If you want to create this look, consider using a coloured liner like the U.V. Taffies Palette and a brush to apply the liner across the lash line in an upward motion towards the outer corners of your eyelids. Fill in the liner until it’s thick, then finish it with mascara and a pair of pretty lashes.

Take a leaf out of Maddy Perez from Euphoria’s beauty book and rock this fantastic look.

We recommend a few things for this look: M.A.C. Cosmetics Pro long wear gel liner, flat back crystals, lash glue, and some killer mascara and false lashes.

Start off by doing a gorgeous black eyeliner wing (you can use other coloured liners too, but we recommend using a gel liner) and then add some stunning gems and flat back crystals along the lash line using strong lash glue.

You should apply these by looking at an angle in a mirror to ensure the best placement. After you apply mascara to your lashes, you can attach false lashes (like the Kiss Falscara lashes, which won’t interfere with the crystals and will still give your lashes volume).

There is nothing more iconic than a smokey eye for new year’s eve, a look that has been around for ages.

If you want the perfect jet-black smokey eye, you’ll need black eyeshadow, fabulous mascara, and dramatic false lashes.

To get the sexy smoky eye look you want, start with a long-lasting eye primer, like the Tom Ford Emotionproof eye primer, followed by a black base with M.A.C Longwear paint pot, and apply an eyeshadow stick like Makeup For Ever Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow with your best eyeshadow brush.

Make sure to finish it off with a shimmery black shadow or a matte black shadow, and gently blend everything out with a lighter brown shade (if you’re new to blending, blend from the outer corner inwards and then lift up your brush. Repeat until it looks incredible.).

To complete the look, apply two layers of mascara to your top and bottom lashes, add lash glue and your best set of dramatic lashes, and you’re good to go.
