Your New Year's Eve Makeup Essentials Covered
Before you apply any makeup, we recommend prepping your skin with a hydrating face cream. This will help make your makeup last longer and give you a fresh glow. We also recommend priming your skin beforehand with a couple of spritzes of setting spray.
Best Party Makeup Products For New Year’s Eve
Hourglass
Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, £ 49,00While it’s tempting to opt for a medium to full coverage foundation on New Year’s Eve to ensure your makeup lasts as long as possible, we recommend opting for lighter layers. Not only do formulas like Hourglass’ Veil Hydrating Skin Tint have impressive staying power, but they leave your skin looking and feeling fresh all night long. Leave it to your setting spray to fix your makeup in place.

Revealer Concealer, £ 25,00Kosas Revealer Concealer is one of the best we’ve ever tried.

We especially love how seamlessly it blends into skin. It’s a multitasking hero!
SHOP NOWHourglass
Voyeur Eyeshadow Stick, £ 34,00We are obsessed with these long-lasting Voyeur Eyeshadow Sticks from Hourglass. The formula glides on seamlessly and blends easily before setting in place. For New Year’s Eve, or any special occasion for that matter, we recommend the shimmery terracotta Phoenix, the sparkly Prism and bronzed Solstice.

Kush Waterproof Mascara, £ 26,00The best mascaras not only curl, lift and lengthen your natural lashes, they also last all night without flaking.

Afterglow Lip Balm, £ 26,50A nourishing tinted lip balm will keep your lips looking and feeling soft and nourished throughout the night without you having to worry about topping it up after you sip your drink.
