This sparkling New Year's Eve party eye makeup idea was created by Jemma Kidd: founder of the Jemma Kidd Makeup School. Just reading Jemma's advice gets me in a party mood!
1. Don’t be afraid to go a little wild – it’s New Year’s Eve after all! The perfect party look: glitter never fails to get girls in the mood to hit the dance floor. The inspiration is the heady days of disco, Studio 54 and 1970’s glam rock, but toned down for a more refined interpretation.
2. Tidy and emphasize the brows to provide a nice frame to your face.
3. Start with the eyes, that way you can dust away any particles before applying foundation. Draw along the upper lash line with a mahogany eyeliner pencil, working the tip between the roots of the lashes to add volume.
4. Create a base by using a synthetic brush to apply beige-gold crème eyeshadow from the upper lash line to the socket crease.
5. Next up – sparkle! Using a natural brush, layer gold glitter over the top, pressing it with the brush so that it sticks to the crème underneath. Using a pointed eyeliner brush, apply a line of crème and glitter just beneath the lower lash line.
6. Finish the dewy look by brushing a neutral highlighter over the browbone.
7. To up the flirt-factor, make your eyelashes super long with false-lash corners, curling and coating with a lengthening black mascara.
8. Make sure there are no traces of glitter on your cheeks before starting on your face.
