Ring in the New Year With One of These Glam, Glossy Eye Looks
December 22, 2021
Go Big and Bold
Kick the year off with eyes drenched in bold color. To make a glossy orangey-red eyeshadow look pop even more, try adding a few swipes of the YSL Beauty Touché Eclat, an all-over illuminating pen, to the corners of your eyes and in the center of your eyelids.
Out With the Old, in With the New
If you tend to keep things on the neutral side for your day-to-day makeup, consider this your sign to surprise everyone on NYE with a glossy eye look that emanates party vibes. Get the look by dabbing a bit of the Danessa Myricks Colorfix Foils in Mermaid, a vibrant duo chrome teal eye paint, onto your lids.
Auld Lang S’Eye
Afraid to commit to eyelids covered in gloss? Don’t worry, lean into the trend in a subtle way with a sleek-looking crease. Simply sweep an eyeshadow stick – we love the IT Cosmetics Superhero No-Tug Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick in Pearl Lavender – along your crease, starting in the inner corner. Then, tap a non-sticky gloss onto the crease with your finger.
Monochrome at Midnight
Pay homage to the year’s biggest most-loved beauty product – blush – by putting together overly-blushed cheeks and a glossy eye look, like this one by @mua_candyb. Pick a punchy pink or red shade and pack it onto your lids before sweeping it down to your cheeks (and adding a longwear gloss, of course.) Finish everything off by dusting a rose gold highlighter, like the RMS Luminizer in Amethyst Rose, along your cheekbones, brow bones and the corners of your eyes.
