New Year’s Eve may be about “new beginnings” and “fresh starts”—but TBH, what gets us most giddy about New Year’s Eve is the opportunity to break out the glittery makeup, sparkly mini dresses, and glitzy accessories we rarely have an excuse to wear any other time of the year.
Below, find nine of our favorite New Year’s Eve makeup looks you’ll definitely want to be spotted in at midnight. *Clink clink.*

Inside the Lines
Bring on the moody hues—with a twinkly touch. Take burgundy and black eyeshadows and sweep them on the outer parts of your eyes, working the burgundy above the crease. Next, take a sparkly gold hue and layer it on the center of your lid until it’s fully pigmented, and blend it into the other hues. Finish off the look with glowing skin and ombré lips for bonus points.

We’re always suckers for old Hollywood glam, and this vintage-inspired look feels totally fresh for the new year. Blend a silvery, iridescent shadow on your lids with a darker hue around the outer corners of your eye. (This Dior palette has perfect shades for this.) Top it off with winged black liner and a moody burgundy lipstick that may or may not get smudged during your New Year’s Eve kiss, but who cares?
