Glittering New Year's Eve Makeup: Top Recommendations

New Year’s Eve is your time to shine… literally! It’s one of the only times of the year when there’s no such thing as too much sparkle.

Whether you’re getting glam for a girls’ night out or staying at home to watch the ball drop, ringing in the New Year is the perfect excuse to wear some glamorous makeup.

From radiant skin to shimmering eyes, we’ve compiled a full list of glittering New Year’s Eve makeup ideas to help you create a festive look that stays on well past midnight.

Shimmering Eyes

Ready to turn heads? Make a statement at your New Year’s Eve party by adding shimmer to your eye makeup.

Start by choosing eyeshadow shades — if you’re going for a warm vibe, consider colors like gold, bronze, copper, and peach. If you’re going for a cool vibe, explore colors like silver, steel, white, and gray. Don’t be afraid to incorporate bold, festive colors like deep emerald green, crimson red, or midnight black, too.

Once you have applied your eyeshadow, take a bit of eyeshadow glitter and apply it to the center of your eyelids to create a sparkling focal point.

We suggest using our Enigma Sparkly Eyeshadow. This vegan, lightweight product is packed with microfine glitters that make your eyes shine. Layer the sheer, sparkly glitter on top of your eyeshadow, and build up the glitter pigment by adding more product until you reach your desired effect.

As the night goes on, the right under-eye setting powder can keep your eye area looking bright and smooth.

We suggest using the Insta-Ready Face & Under Eye Setting Powder Duo. On the top level of this flashback-free, selfie-ready product, you’ll find a moisturizing pressed powder that locks in your under-eye makeup and minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

As an added bonus, the bottom level features a sheer, oil-absorbing loose powder that you can use on other areas of your face.

Complete your eye makeup with a set of fluttering falsies. If you ask us, the last thing you want is for your eyelashes to get lost in the glitz and glamor of your sparkly eyeshadow. Some lash looks can help you avoid this by defining your eye shape and giving you instant volume and length.

We recommend our All The Lashes 8 Pairs False Eyelash Set. No matter what type of lashes your look calls for, this set is sure to have them.

Bold Lip

Wearing a bold lip color is one of the best ways to stand out on New Year’s Eve and feel like your most confident self.

Not sure which shade to choose? Our Dynamatte Boom Long-Lasting Matte Lipstick collection features a range of 20 bold lip colors. No matter what color you need to complete your look, the set includes all the nudes, pinks, reds, oranges, browns, and purples you could dream of to match any New Year’s glam.

This highly-pigmented, high-coverage, long-lasting matte lip product is perfect for celebrating New Year’s Eve, especially if you’re planning to share a smooch with someone when the clock strikes midnight.

Loving the coverage but missing the shine? No problem — just add a touch of shimmer and apply some lip gloss to pump up the luminosity.

Try using our Pout-Perfect Shimmer Lip Plumper to finish your lip look. Formulated with nourishing coconut oil and packed with micro-reflective glitter, this solid lip gloss delivers high-shine color saturation, high levels of moisturization, and zero stickiness.

You can also add some shimmer to your lip by adding a touch of highlighter to your cupid’s bow. We suggest using our multi-purpose Big N’ Bright Eye Pencil in the shade Frost or Rosé to cover the v-shaped area of your upper lip.

The creamy formula will give your lips a light-reflecting effect that makes them appear plumper, adds definition to their natural shape, and draws even more attention to your bold lipstick or lip gloss.

Glowing Skin

Achieving a flawless, radiant base is key for a dreamy New Year’s Eve makeup look, and one of the most convenient ways to do this is with a luminous blush and highlighter combo.

A soft, dewy blush can give your cheeks a festive flush of color, and some highlighter on top will emphasize the high points of your face, enhancing your overall glow.

We recommend using our limited edition Festive Glow Gift Set. This package deal sets you up with a gorgeous liquid blush and highlighter duo sure to make you dazzle. Made with vegan, fragrance-free, cruelty-free ingredients, these products add radiance to your glam look while keeping your skin safe.

Start by applying the blush, in the shade Rose Ritual or Love Cake, to your cheeks using a fluffy brush or powder brush. Having moisturized skin can help give your blush the smooth base it needs to blend more seamlessly. Start with a light application on the apples of your cheeks and blend towards your temples to create a lifted look. Build up the product for more pigment.

Then, dab the shimmering highlighter, in the shade Vanilla Frost or Glass Heart, right above your blush. You can blend the highlighter into your skin using a small, fluffy brush or your fingertips.

Elevate your shine and expand your glitter application beyond your face by incorporating body glitter into your New Year’s Eve look. When you’re out on the dance floor and the glitter catches in the light, it will also catch the attention of everyone around you.

We suggest our Go Go Glow Highlighting Body Mist. Made using pearlescent powders, this alcohol-free, paraben-free, vegan product is designed to make your entire body appear luminous. In fact, the all-angle prismatic shine is safe to be applied to your face, hair, body, and clothes.

The Highlighting Body Mist comes in three different shades: Gold, Love Bomb, and Frosted Opal. Once you’ve taken your pick, shake the bottle, aim it at the area you want to add glitter, and gently squeeze the airbag. Once you have applied the product, take a blending brush and blend the shimmer until you achieve your desired look.

Don’t forget to apply a setting spray at the end of your makeup routine to keep your skin glowing all night long. Our Lock’d In Setting Spray is a long-lasting, quick-drying product that provides you with a luminous, matte finish. The spray sets your makeup in place for up to 16 hours, which is perfect for an all-night New Year’s Eve party.

Made with oil-controlling ingredients, this product is good for all skin types.

Finishing Touches

Searching for ways to top off your look? Face gems, shimmering bronzer, or glittery eyeliner are just a few of the best ways to finish off your glam.

Use face gems (like the ones from our Chrome Zone Full Collection Set) to add small accents to your cheekbones, eye area, or above your eyebrow — they’ll catch the light and add a stunning, sparkling touch to your look.

Shimmering bronzer or sparkling highlighter is also a great way to make a statement… because it’s not only for your face! Apply some to your collarbones and chest area, and you’ll look like you’re glowing from head to toe (not to mention the way you’ll glimmer under the lights, too).

To give your eye makeup some extra oomph, a glittery eyeliner will do the trick. Our Insta-Party Glitter Liner is available in six different eye-catching shades, and it’s the perfect smudge-proof, transfer-proof liner to add a bit of showstopping shine.

Shine Into the New Year

As you step into the new year, channel the excitement of the year ahead into your makeup look.

We hope these tips help you to achieve the glam New Year’s Eve look of your dreams — it’s going to be pretty tough to focus on the fireworks with you shining so bright.
