2. Bold and Beautiful: Eye-Catching Makeup Ideas for New Year’s Eve Party 

As the year winds down, every conversation seems to revolve around plans for New Year’s Eve. Deciding which party to attend, who to go with, or what movie to watch while cozying up at home. These all sound like fantastic plans, but have you stopped to think about what you'll wear as you say your final goodbye to the year?

If this crossed your mind and left you panicking with an "I have no idea what to wear!", we’ve got you covered. Let’s look at some stunning New Year makeup looks to help you shine as brightly as the fireworks.

Ready In Red

Show off the body you’ve been working on all year with a sleek, solid-colored bodycon dress, or keep it effortlessly chic with a satin shirt paired with your denims. Either way, here’s a makeup look that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum impact.

Taking inspiration from the Lakmé Fashion Week runway, you can’t go wrong with an even-toned base and a bold red lip that confidently declares, “This is going to be my year!”

Start with a flawless base to even out your skin tone and make your skin less of a focal point for your red lip to shine. Use the Lakmé Xtraordin-Airy Mattereal Mousse Foundation. It gives a seamless cover that feels light as a feather.

Looking for the right shade match for you, speak to LUMI.

For targeted coverage of any specific skin concerns, reach for the Lakmé Unreal Cover Pen Concealer.

Next, give your eyes a subtle definition by gently lining your upper and lower waterlines with the Lakmé Eyeconic Insta Cool Deep Black Kajal. Complete the eye look with the Lakmé Absolute 3D Lash Volumizer to add drama to your lashes.

Finally, bring it all together with the showstopper— the bold red lip. I recommend the Lakmé Rouge Bloom Bullet Lipstick for a high impact matte finish.

Skin Tone	Recommended Shades
Light	Brick Bloom
Medium	Scarlet rose
Tan/ Deep	Cherry Blossom

If you are confused about the right shade and finish for your skin, talk to LUMI.

Shine With Silver

If you’re slipping into a party dress, a chic top, or a stylish skirt, opt for silver eyes instead of the classic smokey eye makeup. It pairs effortlessly with reds, greens, blue and blacks. Flattering on every skin tone, it adds a luminous glow that lights up your face.

Begin by applying the Lakmé Unreal Cover Crème Concealer to your eyelids for a smooth base that allows the silver to stand out.

Next, use the Lakmé Rouge Bloom Eyeshadow Pro-Palette to sweep the shade Sparkler or Superstar across your lids, adding a glimmering shine that’s perfect for the NYE party.

Create a bold wing with the Lakmé Unreal Precision Liquid Eyeliner. Complete your eye look with the Lakmé 9 To 5 Eyeconic Curling Mascara for lifted, fluttery lashes.

Finish off the look with a creamy nude lipstick from the Lakmé Rouge Bloom Powder Matte Lipstick collection, adding some soft glam.

Skin Tone	Recommended Shades
Light	Nude Nectar
Medium	Brick Bloom
Tan/ Deep	Cocoa Carnation

Find the right nude/ brown lip shade for you.

Lastly, don’t forget to add some silver glow on the highpoints of your face with the Lakmé Facelift MultiSlayer Highlighter Stick in Silver Shimmer Bomb.

Get That Glossy Glow

If you’re stepping out in sequined or shimmering outfits to light up the party, pair it with a radiant glass-skin glow.

It’s the perfect excuse to start living your New Year’s resolution of achieving that clear, dewy complexion!

To achieve that radiant, glossy skin, start with a lightweight base. Mix the Lakmé Lumi Cream with the Lakmé Vitamin C Superglow Skin Perfecting Tint in your shade to create a luminous mixture. Then gently dab on the foundation for a smooth, even complexion.

Embrace the "clean girl" makeup look by defining your lashes with the Lakmé Lumi Cream with the Lakmé 9 To 5 Eyeconic Curling Mascara.

For your lips, go with a plumping, high-shine finish using the Lakmé Glitterati Lip Glaze in a nude or pink shade.

Skin Tone	Recommended Shades
Light	Honey Haze, Frosted Rose
Medium	Caramel Drizzle, Pink Champagne
Tan/ Deep	Espresso Martini, Hot Pink Cosmo

Add a pop of color to your cheeks and nose with the Lakmé Facelift MultiSlayer Blush Stick in Blushing Nude and Sweet Cheeks.

Elevate the glow by applying the Lakmé Facelift MultiSlayer Highlighter Stick in Golden Gleam and Sunlit Sepia to the high points of your face. This will give you an all-over radiance.
