Tips for the Perfect New Year’s Eve Makeup

Motives by Loren Ridinger

With Hanukkah and Christmas behind us, we are looking on to New Year’s Eve. My family will be cozying up on the coach watching the Disney Channel countdown, with the fire burning in the fire place, snacks galore and noise makers ready for celebrating. If you have an evening out planned, you’ll want to look your glamorous best! Follow these tips from Beauty Task Force member, Loren Ridinger to help you look your best:

After all of the holiday festivities this season, it’s time to start planning for the last big party of the year: New Year’s Eve! Whether you are having a small get together with your kids and neighbors or are heading out for a night on the town, here are a couple of tips for getting ready to celebrate 2010:

  • Monochromatic colors! This has a slimming effect and leaves no doubt that everything matches. If you are choosing a LBD, pair it with black tights and black shoes (if you want a pop of color add a bright bag).
  • Keep jewelry and hair simple and sexy – you don’t want to overdo it on the bling or hair products!
  • Make up is always the fun part for me! If you are leaning towards a more relaxing evening, subtle neutrals should do the trick. Otherwise, glam it up with a smoky eye or a red lip.

For a neutral look, be sure to fill in your brows using Motives® Essential Brow Kit (this will frame your face and give you a youthful appearance). Swipe on a coat of Motives® Lustrafy Mascara and add some Motives® Blush Bronzer Duo to your cheeks. To finish, Motives® Pucker Up Lip Plumper will make your lips perfect for your New Year’s kiss!

To add more drama, simply build off of the neutral look. Add Motives® Kohl Eyeliner in Onyx and Motives® Pressed Eye Shadows in Sweet Chocolate. Highlight using Motives® Paint Pot Mineral Eyeshadow in Allure.

Planning your outfit ahead of time will really cut down your stress level and give you less to worry about so that you can enjoy the night ahead! I hope you all have a happy and healthy New Year!

    Ricky’s NYC has a lot of affordable name-brand makeup available in store and on their website (www.rickysnyc.com), including their exclusive makeup line called Mattese Elite. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re interested.
