While everyone has been posting this beautiful ultra-glam makeup tutorials for the holidays and New Year's Eve, I have decided to share this natural and simple glam makeup look for those girls that don't need anything too glittery, sparkly or over-the-top.
For this look I decided to keep the face and lips neutral and cool toned, while making sure to emphasize the "glam" part of this look all within the eyes. The eye makeup is made more gorgeous with deep browns, beiges and greys, and made flawlessly elegant with lengthening mascara and fluffy falsies.
As they say, if you fall in love with someone's eyes you will fall in love forever. This is especially important for those midnight kisses on New Year's Eve.
Let's get this tutorial started!

Powder Setting, Contour and Blush
1. To set
everything I take the Real Techniques Setting Brush and place a mixture of the
highlight shades Lucid and Lyric from the Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette and place a generous amount over the areas that I highlighted with
concealer.
2. I also add a generous amount to my jaw directly below my contour line. I allow the extra powder to sit on my skin for a few minutes to "bake" before brushing off with a Morphe Brushes G23 Soft Fan Brush.
