For most women, getting ready for a party, that too New Year's Eve, is a very big deal. And since the night symbolizes 'new beginnings', why not make an entrance that everyone will remember! So, we have put together a few ideas and makeup tips for a New Year's Eve party that might come in handy for the big night. Makeup Tips for New Year's Eve Before you finalize anything, make sure you have quality makeup products and the necessary tools for the night. Using good products makes a huge difference on the results. And now, here are the guidelines and tips that'll keep your confidence high all night. If you're tired of the same old style of applying the eyeliner, do give the cat eyes and winged tips a chance. They not only brighten your eyes, but also make them appear elongated. To get a flawless, smudge-free finish, use a liquid liner as it tends to have a more reflective look. To get the winged tip liner right the first time, here are a few steps that you need to follow.

1. Take your liquid liner and hold it at an angle, near the inner edge of your upper lash line.
2. Trace the upper lash line and stop once you reach the outer edge.
3. Now, make a 45° angle line away from the outer edge of your lash line.
4. You can make the liner as thick or thin as possible. Just add thin layers over the first line, and keep going (depending on how thick you want it to be).

Nothing beats the irresistible and vivacious smokey eyes makeup. A lot of women think that this style is done with only black eyeshadow. But in reality, you don't necessarily have to use black or gray eyeshadows to get the look. Once you master the trick, you can use various shades like plum, gold, blue, copper, and navy. You can keep the makeup as minimal or intense as you want. However, if you're wishing to make a lasting impression, contour and highlight your face for that extra bang. When it comes to eye makeup, many women follow a particular routine that includes primer, eyeshadow, black liquid liner, and mascara. But since you're getting ready for a New Year's Eve party, it's a necessity to shake things up a bit. The first rule of wearing a colored eyeliner is to not pick your favorite color. Instead, select a color that will complement the color of your eyes. For brown eyes, olive green liner is flattering. Dark purple liner looks amazing on women with green eyes, while hazel eyes look fabulous with purple or deep rose hues. Don't be afraid to experiment with your eyeshadow colors. A New Year's Eve party demands that you go bigger and bolder than what you have been doing the entire year. So, why stop now? There are so many ways to apply eyeshadow, but a unique thing you can do is ditch the old eyeshadow hues. Depending on the theme for the night, venue, and your outfit, choose an eyeshadow style that you like. And the only way you can make it work is when you have the right tools/brushes. Whether your skin is fair, pale, olive, or dark, nude or natural makeup looks amazing. But, in order to achieve this look, you need to know which colors suit you the best. If you have pale or fair skin tone, go with peach and light pink hues. On the contrary, for olive or dark skin tones, cream and pale beige hues are more suitable. Here are a few tips on how you can wear the natural makeup look with ease.

1. Instead of applying foundation, use a concealer over the problem areas. But if you just can't live without it, lightly apply a bit of foundation that matches your skin tone.
2. The next step is to enhance your lips. Give your lipstick a night off, and use a shimmery or clear lip gloss instead.
3. Now come the eyelashes. Take a good, volumizing mascara and sweep it over your lashes for maximum impact.

The key to getting perfect kissable lips is the right lip color. I love ruby red lips, and the color definitely amplifies its appeal at night. But it's not an obligation to wear red lipstick for the night. You can choose a different color altogether that matches your outfit. Although, before applying your choice of color for the big party, make sure you apply a lip moisturizer. This helps coat the color evenly over your lips, without giving it a chapped appearance. To apply the lipstick perfectly, follow these steps.

1. Dab a bit of foundation on your finger, and apply a thin layer over the lips.
2. Now you need to apply a lip liner at the edges of your lips. You can either use a neutral color or one that matches the lipstick shade.
3. Load a lip brush with color, and fill the color in your lips carefully.
4. If you want a deeper color, blot the lips with a tissue paper and apply a second coat with the lip brush.

No matter what type of makeup you're planning to do for the evening, always work on your eyes before the rest of your face. When you're applying makeup on the eyes, it can be a bit messy; you don't want to redo your foundation, right? Don't spend one of the biggest nights of the year retouching your makeup. Follow the makeup tips mentioned in the article, and have a stress-free evening.
