New Year's Eve is the night I like to go all-out with my makeup. I'm talking all the sparkle. This year, I'm heading to party so have the perfect excuse to get all dressed up, but to be honest, I'd do the same even if I was planning on just cosying up in front of a film with a bag of pic n' mix. This year, I've put together a look featuring glittery, golden eyes, glowing skin and a classic, red lip.

Starting with primer, one of my favourites during winter is Illamasqua's Hydra Veil. The solid, jelly texture melts on contact with the skin, working to hydrate the skin and create a smooth surface ready for foundation. When cameras are guaranteed to make an appearance, I always reach for Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. Providing a medium, build-able coverage, this will create a flattering finish and, as it's free from SPF, there's no risk of ghost-face in flash photographs. Although the formula is oil-free and very long-lasting, it still gives the complexion a glow that looks healthy, not greasy. For concealer, I always choose my trusty Nars Creamy Concealer which masks a multitude of sins and brightens the skin, without any cakiness. Under the eyes, I also patted on a little of the Bobbi Brown Corrector in Light Peach to counteract any blue-toned shadows. A light dusting of Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder sets all that base in place for hours, but I concentrate on applying it through the t-zone and avoiding the cheeks, to keep things as glowy as possible.
