Get set to party in style this New Year

This party season, steal the limelight with the right hair and makeup. Experts suggest that subtle blush is a year-round must, but this season’s trendy rouge is inspired by the rosy glow you get when there’s a nip in the air. Here are a few more beauty tips and tricks:

*Sweeping eyelashes: Full, false lashes on your top lash line invariably make your eyes looks larger and more awake. Keep the rest of your makeup palette neutral for a look that’s modern, rather than overdone.

* Bright lips: A red lip as the centre-piece of a polished makeup look is classic, but it can also awaken otherwise low-key makeup, like a little smudgy eyeliner.

* Eye make up: Smoky eyes are always a favourite, but applying jewel tones like blue, emerald, and indigo bring out your eyes and add the ’60s flair to your face.

* Colour your lovely locks in Coffee Balayage: We are sure you have already seen balayage on the street, but have you seen the beautiful bean colour spilled in balayage? Get your hair coloured in the same old balayage technique but in strong-dark espresso or soft latte brew shade.

It looks more amazing with curly hair. n Middle part your hair and you can pull off any silhouette with that hairdo.
