Make-up Inspiration- Are YOU ready for the New Year?

For New Year, we are not talking about picking dresses but instead, we are to share some make-up tips and inspirations so that all you girls can look oh-so-gorg while welcoming the new year!

For the WILDCHILDs

New Year's Eve is definitely all about the countdown parties and fireworks!

Bring out the sequin dresses and party all night into 2014! Things could only get better when you pair your shimmering dresses with a Smokey Eye look!

Here's the steps to a basic smokey eye look! You'd need at least a quad palette to get this look done.

Steps: 

1. Prime your eyes. 

2. Line. Lashline and half of your waterline (bottom of your eyes).

3. Start with the darker shades at the back of your eyes 

4. Use your black eye shadow to darken the edges of your eyes, lash line and below your waterline.
Apply the lightest shade to your inner eyelid. 

5. Put on your mascara or fake eyelashes and voila you're done! 

Tips: 

BLEND, BLEND & BLEND

Use a shimmery eye shadow for easy blending. ;) 

If you didn't get that and need some visuals, check out this tutorial which I think would be extremely useful!

Afraid to go black? Go back. Just kidding! You can always opt for brown shades and it'd still look awesome!

Products to get: 

Don't have what you need? Try gettting this palette from Luxola! All the colours you'd need and best part... Its on a sale, now retailing at only 14SGD! \o/

For extra OOMPH, use a shimmery base before putting on your eyeshadow. Our choice would be this cream eyeshadow from a Japanese brand, Dollywink! Available at your nearest Watsons Drugstore!

For the less "WILD" 

If you're not intending to party your way into the new year, try out other looks!

I'd love to try looks from Lorde, one of my favourite artistes these days. She has minimal eye makeup on most of the time but I'm in love with how she rocks those fabulous shades of lip color.

Take a look at From Head to Toe 's tutorial of Lorde's look from Royals! She's one of my favourite YouTubers as ... I'm Asian and she's Asian which makes it easier to follow!
