Six makeup must-haves for your New Year party look

The New Year is finally here; time to dust off your dancing shoes and get your liver ready for extreme amounts of alcohol at the new year party! Why not treat yourself and go into 2018 with style? Here are some must-have beauty products that will rock you straight into the New Year!

 

Fenty Beauty Liquid Foundation – Retailing at £26, Rihanna’s foundation range is the holy grail of foundations! Great for all skin types but perfect for anyone suffering with oily skin as the matte effect really does do its job. The liquid foundation gives you full coverage without pumping out half the bottle like most other unbranded foundations, as well as drying within minutes, giving you a beautiful matte look without the need to set with powder! The Fenty range is widely known for its amazing range of colours; the palest of pale to the darkest of dark skin tones are all welcome as there are a whopping 40 shades to choose from! Anyone suffering from red or uneven skin tones can sit back and relax as Fenty has you covered, seriously. The only downside to this product is that it tends to oxidise on the skin so make sure you get matched up and enjoy your new skin! Buy Fenty liquid foundation at Harvey Nichols store.

 

L.A. Girl Setting Spray – Retailing at only £6 from Beauty Bay, L.A. Girl’s PRO. Setting HD Matte Finish Setting Spray is all you need to keep your makeup intact while you’re partying through the New Year. All you need to do is spritz it over your freshly done makeup and then let the party begin. Cruelty, Paraben and Fragrance-free, it’s no wonder it’s such a hit! The formula hydrates your face without creating a sticky coating and will leave your makeup with a beautiful matte finish.

 

Sleek Matte Me Metallic Lip Creams – Sleek’s new range of festive lip creams really are the talk of the New Year party! In five different shades, you can’t go wrong; they are super easy to apply – much like a lip gloss, one layer is all it takes. Once dry, they don’t budge – watch out Jager bombs, you don’t stand a chance! Add an extra festive touch to your New Year look and stand out from the crowd with these metallic lip creams; while everyone around you stays basic with their matte lipstick, you can shine bright with a metallic matte glow! At just £4.99 from Boots, you’d be crazy not to. Shades included in the Into the Night collection are Anodised Ruby, Electroplated Nude, Metallized Rose, Molten Topaz and Platinised Plum.

 

L.A. Girl’s PRO. Contour Powder Highlight and Contour Duo – Contouring can make or break your look; but with L.A. Girl’s PRO. Contour Powder Highlight and Contour Duo, contouring has never been easier! Available in eight shades, these powders will be perfectly suited for any skin. The contour kit comes in a small compact palette which is perfect for tucking into a clutch bag. Unlike most powders, L.A. Girl’s Contour Powder Highlight and Contour Duo has a smooth and buttery feel making it much easier to handle than most powder and cream kits. L.A. Girl also offer a cream version for anyone brave enough to tackle all that blending! This product is available from Beauty Bay for only £7.

 

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish – If you love to make a statement with your nails then Maybelline’s Color Show nail polish is a must-have!
