New Year's makeup: step by step
No celebration is complete without the popular Smokey Ice makeup technique. Depending on the celebration, the smoky make-up is complemented by various elements and is performed in different colors.
The Christmas version of Smokey Ice can be made in black and silver shades, decorate the make-up with shimmer or glitter and a barely noticeable arrow. If too dark shades or sparkles are contraindicated, you can resort to another smokey ice in other colors:
- Green
- Violet
- Burgundy;
- Dark blue;
- Copper.
Purple smokey ice
Smokey Ice, suitable for celebrating the New Year, in purple shades is suitable for almost any color of eyes and hair. To make such a make-up is quite easy using a palette of shadows and a pair of brushes with soft nap.
Step 1: the design of the corner of the eye. Choose the darkest shade from the palette: black or dark purple with smoky nuances. Use a medium-sized soft brush to apply shadow on the outer corner of the movable eyelid and blend it.
With a narrow brush, draw a thin line under the lower eyelid, starting from the middle of the eye so that its angle coincides with the upper shadows. Gently lift the tip up.
Step 2: add a neutral hue. Choose a neutral tone of shadows, preferably flesh with a red or pink undertone. Put it on a fixed eyelid and blend it along. We add a little to the middle of the moving century.
This nuance is necessary to create a smoother transition between other shades and better shading.
Step 3: Apply Purple Shadows Choose purple or dark lilac shades with a pearly shimmer. They must be applied to the moving eyelid, including a highlighted dark corner. Shade carefully shade.
Step 4: highlight the inner corner of the eye. Take the lightest shade from the palette or highlighter. We apply a little on the inner corner of the eyelid, also carefully blending it, and add it under the lower eyelid to visually increase the look.
Step 5: eyelash tinting. It is better to choose black or color mascara for the New Year celebration in a color palette that is suitable for the make-up. For a unique look, it is recommended to get mascara with sparkles. Carefully stain the upper and lower cilia.
Lipstick to purple smokey ice should be selected in the appropriate gamut:
- Lilac;
- Purple;
- Fuchsia;
- Dark pink;
- Nyudovuyu.
New Year's nude makeup
A gentle Christmas make-up does not have to contain exclusively neutral pastel colors. For most girls, the concept of New Year's makeup in the style of nude includes only flesh-colored shades of the eyes and, occasionally, arrows or shimmer.
One of the options for an intriguing make-up for the New Year is created using peach eyeshadows and eyeliner in two shades. Another option can be made in several colors using a shimmer, you can use colors for it:
- Peach;
- Corporeal;
- Champagne
- Pink;
- Coral;
- Light brown;
- Golden.
To perform makeup in nude shades, you will need two color palettes: skin tones and with a pink or red tint. The nude palette can be replaced with a golden one. In addition, a lilac or purple liner is useful, you can use a soft pencil instead, and mascara with sparkles.
Step 1: the foundation. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the base. To do this, apply concealer or foundation on the eyelid. Then, to consolidate the effect, you can use transparent powder or cover the eyelid with a thin layer of skin-tone shadows.
Step 2: add a vibrant accent. From the palette, choose matte shadows with a red or pink undertone. We apply the “loop” in the technique: along the fold of the eye, up onto the fixed eyelid, draw the outer corner.
We add some shadows on the lower eyelid starting from the middle of the eye and forming the very “eyelet”.The area above the eyelash growth line of the moving eyelid is left unpainted, the rest of the shadows are neatly shaded.
Step 3: applying nude shadows. Choose shadows from the nude palette: peach, light brown, flesh or golden. Using a soft brush, apply them to the moving eyelid, carefully blending the edges along the fold.
With a thin brush, draw a narrow line along the growth of eyelashes on the lower eyelid, adding a little golden shimmer or glitter on top. Then repeat the contour of the eye with golden shadows.
Step 4: eyeliner and eyelashes. An eyeliner is better to choose a faded pale yellow shade, but it is better to avoid pink tones. The lilac color, which needs to bring the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid, is ideal. Then color the eyelashes with black or dark brown mascara.
Bright emphasis on lips
You can diversify the nude makeup for the New Year with a bright accent on the lips. The most fashionable option will be with glitter.
Step 1: applying the primary color. We choose the key color of lipstick, which will form the basis for the further design of the lips. Here, peach, body and pink nuances are suitable. Of the textures, it is better to choose cream. Apply lipstick on the lips with smooth movements, trying not to go beyond the contour.
Step 2: add glitter. On top of cream lipstick, add special glitter. It is recommended to choose medium-sized sparkles, too small ones will look like regular mother-of-pearl lipstick, and large ones will only spoil the makeup.
Step 3: correction. Using a matting make-up napkin, we gently remove excess glitter from the face and adjust the contour. If necessary, apply a little concealer around the lips to make the lines more expressive.
Lip glitter is best chosen in accordance with the rest of the make-up. For nude makeup, golden nuances are suitable, you can also use pink or purple shimmer.
