New Year’s Eve Makeup Tutorial Steps and Tips
Step 1. Prime Your Eyes
The first step is to prime your eyes to make sure your eye makeup stays put. You can then add a skin tone color to the base to lock in your primer.
This is also to make sure that the eyeshadow colors you’ll use will blend easier. You can use a brush for both, or you can use your fingers. Pick whatever makes you comfortable.
Step 2. Create the Cut Crease Effect
We’re ready to apply makeup. For this New Year’s Eve makeup tutorial, we’re going to create a cut crease, which sort of creates two different looks for the eyes: glitter and smoky.
It makes a beautiful eye makeup contrast and balances the glitter out. Blend all these eyeshadow shades evenly.
Step 3. Create a V
A V-shaped eyeliner makeup adds more definition to your eyes. You can use Urban Decay Naked 2 Blackout Shade, which is matte black (close to charcoal color).
To apply, make use of an eyeliner pencil brush. To fix the eye makeup mess, use a makeup wipe.

Step 4. Put Your Glitters
Now you’re done with the smoky eye, it’s time to add some glitters! But before that, apply a glitter top coat liner, which works like a glue to keep your glitter together.
After applying the topcoat glitter eyeliner, add glitters. You can use your fingers, the applicator, or a brush.
You may also work in sections or apply the glitter all over your lower eye crease. You can use this kind of eyeshadow, too.
Step 5. Apply Eyeliner
We’re almost done! An eyeshadow makeup as lovely as this will never be complete without a winged-eye effect, so grab your favorite liquid eyeliner and apply it to the edges of your V-shaped makeup.
Step 6. Attach False Eyelashes
With a powerful combo of glitter and smoky eyes, your lashes are easily overpowered. Grow them instantly with an eyelash extension or false eyelashes.
Choose the one you’re comfortable wearing. In case you don’t know how to attach it, here’s a tutorial and some tips.
Step 7. Create a Smokey Eye Effect Underneath the Eyes
Complete the smoky eye look by applying dark makeup underneath the eyes as well. To avoid looking as if you’ve been beaten black and blue, place it on the corners or edges only.
Step 8. Put on Red Lipstick
You can actually stop with the eye makeup, but since we’re all about being bold and sexy, finish your New Year’s Eve makeup with a bold red lipstick!
