New Year's Eve is the perfect occasion to go all out with your makeup, and what better way to make a statement than with bold eye looks that are both extravagant and festive? Whether you prefer all-out glitter, sharp liner, or a more subtle, yet still glamorous style, these three eye-catching looks will help you ring in 2025 in style.
- Full Glitter Glam
For those who love to sparkle, this full glitter glam look is the way to go. Whether you’re attending a big celebration or keeping it intimate, this bold, glittery eye will make sure you stand out.
How to Create the Look:
- Apply biodegradable glitter eyeshadow in shades like taupe, gold, or teal.
- Blend the edges to get rid of harsh lines.
- Finish the look with a coat of mascara or false lashes for added drama.
Pro Tip: If you want a more intense look, layer the glitter over a dark eyeshadow to create more depth. Keep the rest of your makeup simple—neutral lips and glowing skin will keep the focus on those dazzling eyes.
- Bold Liner with Sparkle
If you love sharp, defined lines, this bold liner with a touch of sparkle will give you a dramatic yet sophisticated look. It’s perfect for those who want to play with shape and definition but don’t want to go full glitter.
How to Create the Look:
- Start by creating a bold, winged eyeliner using a liquid or gel liner in black or dark brown.
- Once the liner is set, add a small amount of glitter eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eyes for a subtle pop.
- Finish with volumizing mascara or false lashes for extra emphasis.
Pro Tip: Pair this bold liner with a nude or berry-toned lipstick to keep the overall look chic and balanced.
- Gold/Taupe Glitter Eye with Festive Red Lip
For a more elegant, festive look, a gold and taupe glitter eye combined with a bold red lip is timeless. This sophisticated style is perfect for ringing in the new year while still making a statement.
How to Create the Look:
- Choose taupe or gold biodegradable glitter eyeshadow and apply all over the lid using a fluffy brush. This will give a light wash of sparkle instead of full coverage.
- Add a little more glitter to the inner corners to brighten up your eyes.
- Lining your eyes is optional—if you prefer, you can skip this step or add a soft line for definition.
- Finish the look with a few coats of mascara.
- For the lips, choose a classic festive red lipstick to add that perfect touch of glamour.
Pro Tip: Add a touch of highlighter to your cheekbones for an extra glow that complements the sparkle on your eyes and adds radiance to your overall look.
With these three bold eye makeup looks, you'll be ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style, whether you’re all about full glitter glam or prefer a more refined yet festive appearance. Remember to use biodegradable glitter so you can sparkle sustainably!
