I'm sure everyone has plans for NYE (New Year's Eve,) right? Many
restaurants and other establishments are always offering special packages for
dinner and drinks, which you can follow up with dancing the night away, and a
champagne toast at midnight. Even hotel packages are available so you
don't have to drive home after all the festivities-- best to be safe! I'm
betting that you ladies have your NYE wardrobe picked out and ready to go! It's
probably something sultry with lots of sparkle and shine, or luxurious textures
like silk or velvet... But have you thought about your makeup?
This is the time of year to go all out and sport the 'glitz and
glam' looks that don't usually fly on just any given Sunday! Have you ever
wanted to try a dark and smoky eye-- or maybe some shimmer, or glitter--
something you've seen in magazines from the Runways?? Well here's your chance,
your carte blanche opportunity to go for it! Some great ideas are listed
here: http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/12/makeup-ideas-celeb-inspired-looks-for-new-years-eve.html. If you
want to bump it up even more, while staying away from the avant-garde looks of
Lady Gaga, I'd suggest adding a small amount of glitter eyeliner in the inner
corners and a strip of false lashes, to make your peepers pop! To try: Stila Glitter
