5 makeup trends for your New Year Eve’s party in 2023
Glitter confetti eyes
Get inspired by Gigi Hadid’s glittery, glamorous eyes, and show up at the party looking like a million dollar! Confetti eyes have been the biggest makeup trend of the year, and it is definitely coming along with us to 2023. The glam look features a softly bronzed lid, confetti glittered gems carefully placed in a curve shape, and an almost invisible eyeliner. Pair it up with bold red lips. Want to go a bit overboard? Try glitter brows! Yes, it sounds outrageously bold, but trust us, they work wonders.

Blush draping
If you love a good blush as much as we do, know that your time has arrived! Blush draping is a ’70s technique introduced to the world by American singer Cher’s makeup artist Way Brandy. The trend has made a striking comeback in a way that it’s a hit everywhere from red carpets to runways to parties! The trick of the trend, however, lies not in the amount, but in the placement. It involves draping softer blush shades like peach, plum, or coral onto the temples, under the eyes, and even blend them into the eyeshadow, creating an illusion of a facelift.
Best buys: Natasha Denona Puff Paint – Darya (INR2,100); Nudestix Nudies Matte All Over Face Blush – Soft Peachy Coral (INR3,150)
Pop of neon
If glitters and rainbow hues a tad too much for you, do what runway girls have done for the spring/summer 2023 looks this time. Tiny flicks of slime green or pretty pops of fuchsia on the inner corners of your eyes are enough to get you in the game. A dash of bright neon hues paired with invisible liner and lots of mascara will give your eyes the much-needed pop without too much efforts!

Wet hair look
Most recently sported by the likes of Megan Fox and Zendaya, the popular wet hair look is quickly becoming a red carpet favourite this season. It is a bold look but surprisingly, more wearable than you’d have imagined. You can wear your glossed hair pushed straight back or over to one side, knot it in an effortless low bun, or tie it back in a sleek pony. To nail it further, forget mattes and go for serum foundations and liquid highlighters to add a glowy, pearly finish.

Glazed lips
The madness for matte is slowing fading away, and glazed, glossy lips have already begun to reign the glam looks. The 90’s freshly glazed brownie lips saw a recent resurgence by Hailey Bieber, and the world is now looking for brown lip liners, glosses, and balms to stack up on. If you can’t pick between a nourishing balm and a high-impact lip gloss, go for a plumping oil that gives you both heavy-duty moisturisation as well as the perfect pout.
Best buys: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre – Pillow Talk (INR2,200); Too Faced Power Plumping Lip Gloss – Secure The Bag (2,100)
