NYE is right around the corner! We are so excited to share the ultimate new years makeup look with a twist that we have created for this special night! If you’d rather have us glam you up, call us to book your spot at 604.988.9272 or email info@deniseelliott.ca
The first step to any look is getting your skin looking flawless. Prep and prime the skin with Paul & Joe moisturizing foundation primer and Racinne eye brightening serum.
BEFORE & AFTER
Complexion: Stila Stay All Day foundation and concealer creates a perfect canvas that is sure to last past the countdown! Finish with glo skin beauty perfecting powder to set, and a sweep of glo skin beauty sunkiss bronzer in the shape of a 3 around each side of the face (forehead, cheekbone, jaw), adding a touch on the nose and chin.
Blush and Highlight: Stila Convertible colour in camellia gives a fresh pinkish bronze glow to the cheeks, along with Stila kitten highlighter on the top of the cheek bones.
Eyes: Prime the lids for eyeshadow with a thin layer of Paul & Joe eye colour primer from lash line to brow bone. All the eyeshadow colours we used for this look were from the Stila Spirit Palette, which is the perfect multipurpose workhorse. Apply the colour Chinois all over the lid and blend just past the crease.
Next, define the crease with Puppy, and add a little extra depth to the outer corner with Barefoot. With an angle brush and Stila smudge pot liner in Black, create a thin line corner to corner with a thicker application towards the outer corner, and wing it out with the Stila waterproof liquid liner. For a festive NYE twist, use a clean angle brush to apply Stila glitter shadow in smoky storm right along the top of the black line. The glitter catches the light to add a subtle sparkle to your eyes!
TIP: Don’t worry if the glitter line goes on a little thick or unevenly. You can go back in with the black gel liner to clean up the edges. Mink or pony DE studio lashes completes the look.
Lips: For that gorgeous red lip, we used Stila Stay all day liquid lipstick in Fiery (this is a VERY longwearing stain, will not come off on any champagne glasses!)
Happy New Year, beauties! XO
