Embrace the New Year in Style: Laura Mercier’s Radiant New Year’s Eve Eye Look
New Year’s Eve—the one night a year when we can go all out with our beauty looks. As we wave goodbye to 2024 and ring in 2025, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a look that’s chic with a touch of flair. From glowing skin to mesmerizing eyes, these products will help you create a look that is both refined and fun for the ultimate night out.
1. The Glowing Canvas: Prepping Skin for a Radiant Base
Before the glitz and glam of your New Years Eve look, we need to start with a solid base: radiant, healthy skin.
Step 1: Start with a clean, hydrated face. Use Laura Mercier’s Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating to create the perfect canvas for makeup application. This primer helps to smooth the skin’s surface while giving it a fresh, hydrated glow—essential for a flawless base.
Step 2: Next, reach for Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation. This luminous, long-wear foundation ensures your skin looks radiant, and effortlessly even-toned all night long. It provides full coverage while maintaining a natural finish, so you can dance the night away without worrying about touch-ups.
Step 3: Set your makeup with Translucent Loose Setting Powder to lock everything in place and add a subtle, natural matte finish. The powder ensures your glow stays in check without losing that radiant skin effect.
Now, your skin is ready for all the shimmer, shine, and boldness that comes with a truly spectacular New Year’s Eve look.
2. Effortless Shimmer: A Soft Shimmer Eye Makeup Tutorial
When it comes to eye makeup, you don’t need to overdo it to make a statement. For a chic yet festive look, a subtle shimmer can work wonders. Enter Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eyeshadow—your go-to for an easy, effortlessly glamorous eye.
Step 1: Start by applying Caviar Stick in Moonlight to your eyelids. This soft, shimmery shade creates a neutral base with just the right amount of glow.
Step 2: For a bit of warmth, accentuate your eyelids with Caviar Stick in Rosegold. This adds a champagne-hued glow that’s both modern and festive.
Step 3: Finish with a swipe of Laura Mercier’s Caviar Extravagant Mascara for full, voluminous lashes that add that final touch of glamour to your eye look.
3. French Girl Frosty: Soft Frosty Eye Makeup for a Modern Twist
The frosty eye is having a moment, and there’s no better time to experiment with this ethereal trend than New Year’s Eve. Think French-girl chic, with a wintery, magical touch.
Step 1: Start by blending Caviar Stick in Tuxedo along the eyelid for a soft, smoky base. This deep, rich shade provides a great foundation for a frosty look.
Step 2: Layer Caviar Stick in Moonlight over the Tuxedo shade to create that frosty, shimmering effect. The metallic pewter gives your eyes a wintery gleam that’s nothing short of mesmerizing.
Step 3: Pair this eye look with a natural pink blush and finish the look with a nude, barely-there lip using Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Macaron.
4. Glamorously Golden: A Gold New Year’s Eve Look
Gold and New Year’s Eve go hand in hand. Whether you’re ringing in the year at a black-tie gala or an intimate gathering, a golden eye look paired with a bold lip is sure to make you the center of attention.
Step 1: Start with Caviar Stick in Sugarfrost—a golden hue that creates a bold, statement eye. Sweep it over your lids for a radiant pop of color.
Step 2: To add depth, accentuate the outer corners with Caviar Stick in Burnished Bronze. This deeper metallic tone creates dimension and a sultry finish that contrasts beautifully with the gold.
Step 3: Add a soft highlight to your cheeks with RoseGlow Liquid Highlighter, which will leave you glowing from within.
5. The Classic Smoky Eye: Elegant & Timeless
Nothing says timeless glamour like a classic smoky eye. Laura Mercier’s version is all about soft, smudged edges and a sophisticated finish that doesn’t overpower.
Step 1: Begin with Caviar Stick in Tuxedo as your base. Its deep, intense black is perfect for creating a smoky eye without the harshness of powder shadows. Blend along your upper and lower lash lines, then smudge for a sultry, smoky effect. This creates a beautifully diffused eye that’s both soft and intense.
Step 2: Swipe on a few coats of Laura Mercier’s Caviar Extravagant Mascara for a dramatic look.
Step 3: Complete the look with a muted lip, such as Caviar Smoothing Matte Lipstick in shade Pink Chiffon, which perfectly balances out the drama of the eyes.
This is the kind of timeless, bold look that will never go out of style and is always a showstopper on NYE.
