New Year's Eve Glamourous Makeup Look

  Since it's almost New Year's eve, I thought I'd do a glamourous party look for you to bring in the New Year! This look is inspired by the Art Deco ad below with Dita Von Teese, it's very elegant and glittery, and perfect for a New Year's eve party!
  Just to warn you, there are A LOT of pictures in this post so get ready for a lot of up close pictures of my eyes haha!

This is what you you'll need for this look:
~Hair clip to pin hair away from face.
~moisturizer for all over face and for priming the lids.
~Liquid foundation, and powder if you'd like. Also concealer!!
~Blush, I'm using a Chanel one called Plum Attraction
~Silver glitter eyeshadow, either loose or compact like mine.
~Mascara
~Liquid eyeliner
~Gray eyeshadow(not pictured) I'm using Barracuda by Urban Decay.
~Eyebrow pencil
~Eyebrow gel
~Red Lipstick, mine is Russian Red by M.A.C.
~A lipliner in red, mine is Brick by M.A.C.
~And False eyelashes

First, apply your concealer and foundation. Then start penciling in your brows with your pencil, make sure they are more arched than usual, because this is more of a pin-up look.

Then set their shape with brow gel, or clear mascara.

Next use a thin layer of your moisturizer as an eyelid base, because when you put the glitter on top you want it to be sheer, and your skin to still be visible. If you use a thick eyeshadow base you won't get the right effect.

Now apply the glitter with a fluffy brush, apply it carefully, and don't swirl it, or else it will get everywhere! Apply it up to your brow bone.

Now use a dark, glittery gray shadow for your crease.
Photobucket


Lightly, start applying it just above your crease.
Photobucket


Stay above your crease, and start feathering it up toward your brow like below. Make sure you aren't too heavy handed, and don't forget to tap the excess off your brush!!

Now swipe more of the silver glitter over the gray, so it's not as dark.
Photobucket


Then bring a little gray under your bottom lashes.
Photobucket


Now time for blush!
Photobucket


Apply it like I am below, and sweep up toward your temples.
Photobucket


Next, put lash glue on your false lashes and wait a few seconds for it to get tacky.
Photobucket


Then apply them the best you can!!!
Photobucket


Curl you real and false lashes together! And put mascara on too!
Photobucket


Now start using your liquid liner to fill in any gaps between the lashes. If you want you can apply the liner before the lashes.
Photobucket


Then, start applying the liner above the lashes like below.
Photobucket


Now it's time for the wing. Draw a line from the corner of your eye, slanted up to the tip of your brow, but obviously don't go all the way to your brow!
Photobucket


Then from the top, tip of the wing, bring it back towards the middle of the top of your lashes.
Photobucket


Make adjustments to the wing until you're happy with it!
Photobucket


Then do tiny strokes with the liner under your bottom lashes to make them look naturally thick!
Photobucket


Now put a cute beauty mark under your left eye like Dita!
Photobucket


Start lining your lips, and fill them in.
Photobucket


Then apply your lipstick!
Photobucket


Ta-Da!

Even if you wear glasses, I think this look, looks adorable with them too!
