New Year’s Eve Makeup

I would define my everyday makeup look as very clean and subtle – a little concealer, powder, blush and lipstick; but on special evenings I like putting a little more effort into it, like for a holiday or for a date, I like to create a more festive look with makeup that gives a glamorous touch to certain areas on my face, but still keeps the clean and subtle look.

For the New Year I got spoiled with two new products that provide exactly this sparkly touch I mentioned, and complete my perfect evening look.

The first product was Revlon’s new eyeshadow, Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art, which just came out in a limited edition.

This is another very useful 2-in-1 product – on one side of the product there’s a metallic eyeshadow with a creamy velvety texture, and on the other side there’s a shimmery finish. Applying the eyeshadow is very easy and quick because each side has a brush that suits the texture of the eyeshadow {the creamy side has a spongy brush, like the brush you find in lip-gloss, and on the shimmery side there’s a flexible brush with thin plastic hairs}. I found it easiest to apply a little of the metallic product {because of it has a strong and dominant pigment} with the brush and blend it in with the finger pad to get the perfect result. Keep in mind that this product dries pretty fast, so start blending in the edges right after you apply it.

You can use the eyeshadow to create various looks that are also suitable for either the everyday look {if you choose to use only the creamy side} or a look with a little more presence {when you add the shimmery bling from the other side}. I experimented with the shimmery side and I really liked the fact that every time I got a different mesmerizing look – you could apply a little on your eyelashes, or right near the eyeliner, or apply an even layer over the creamy eyeshadow and you could even draw a thin line under your lower eyelashes to get a very special look.

This product comes in 6 different shades – I chose “BURNISHED BLING 090”, in a goldish-bronze hue that works with almost every look.

After I applied the eyeshadow on my eyelid, I felt an annoying stickiness that I feared of… but after about half a minute this feeling disappeared and the eyeshadow felt completely smooth, as if it was a part of my skin. It has an excellent texture and lasts for hours – perfect for festive holiday dinners and celebrations 😉

The second product was Bobbi Brown’s “Shimmer Brick” in “Pink Quartz” – another multi-purpose product that can be used as blush, as a highlighter and as eyeshadow.

The five pinkish-purplish shimmery shades that come together have excellent pigments. To get a nice shine to highlight and to create a high cheek-bone look, gently move your brush in a circular motion on the product and apply to the area you want to highlight.

The product’s texture is very smooth and it blended in well with other products I applied on my face before I used this product, and ended up giving me a nice glowing look that lasted for hours.

For this look I didn’t use the product as an eyeshadow, but I tried all the shades with an eyeshadow brush and they are all beautiful and very gentle.

This is how I applied my makeup to get my holiday look:

  1. First of all, before you do anything, it’s very important to clean your face well with micellar water or facial soap to have a good and clean base for the makeup.
  2. I applied Bobbi Brown’s moisture cream all over my face from their new line called “illuminating moisture balm”. I love this cream for a few reasons. First of all, it has a great scent – a natural herbal scent. Secondly, it has a very pleasant texture that absorbs in the skin quickly and has an effect that illuminates my face… it makes my skin look and smell like I just came out of a spa treatment.
  3. I used my favorite concealer “MAC studio finish concealer” to correct all of my skin imperfections – dark under-eye circles, redness etc. I absolutely love this concealer {I should hope so after using it for the last 3 years} and I highly recommend you try it. After the concealer, to highlight the under-eye area a little more, I used another great concealer – MAC – Studio Chromagraphic Pencil Multi Usage {works wonders after nights with little sleep}.
  4. I brushed Revlon’s beautiful eyeshadows on my eyelids up to the crease, and blended it in using my finger – first the creamy metallic side and after letting it dry for half a minute, I added an ombré shimmery layer {a lot of shimmer at the base of the lashes, fading out as you move up}.
  5. Outline your eye with a black pencil like the one by MAYBELLINE – “master drama kohl”, along the water-line { the lower lashes} and a thin line of eyeliner like JADE’s “high precision stylo”.
  6. To finish the eye makeup I used BOURJOIS – twist up the volume mascara.
  7. I applied MAYBELLINE’s “dream sun” bronzer under my cheekbones {the hollow area} and on the apples of my cheeks the creamy blush “SMASHBOX – L.A. NIGHT”. After, I used BOBBI BROWN’S amazing highlighter to emphasize my cheek bones and the bridge of my nose.
  8. To finish off the look, I used BeautyCare’s lipstick color #56. It’s not very durable but I just can’t find a substitute for this shade.
