NYE Hair, Makeup, Nails Ideas

Hey you! How was your Christmas? Do you take down the decorations today or wait? Mine are still up but my mind is already on New Years Eve! I've got some hair, makeup, and nail ideas for you. Please check out my super quick video I made for you:

I love how the "play" button is on my nose. HA!

What did you think? Did you like it? Below, I break down the look:

Nails:

• OPI My Voice is a Little Norse--this is the most gorgeous glittery silver polish I have ever owned. I added a glittery top coat from Out the Door--it's in the video. 
• I used 2 coats but an accent nail or painted over black, white, or another color would be gorgeous.

Hair:

• To mix it up, I busted out my hot rollers from 1993. I'm serious.  I added some volumizing powder in my roots before adding the rollers. Leave until cooled--I take them out after finishing my makeup, but in the video I took them out sooner. I felt silly having rollers in the whole video, so out they went. Style with fingers and add hairspray if needed.

Eyes:

• I do my eyes before applying foundation. I started with MAC vanilla pigment and applied with a flat brush.
• In the crease, I added black (I used the LORAC MegaPro palette) and then blended it out. I also used this color under my bottom lashes.
• In the outer "v" as a definer, I used a mulberry shade (from the same palette) and blended that out.
• I used a liquid liner on my top lash line, curled my lashes, and added Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. I used Anastasia brow gel for my brows. I made a last second decision to add false lashes from Sephora. I think this is the first time I've put them on in a video!

Face:

• After letting my primer set in for a few minutes, I used MAC Studio Sculpt foundation, and applied it with a brush.
• For my concealer, I used Ben Nye concealer palette.
• I set it all with It Cosmetics Pores No More powder.
• I used a light mauve blush (it was from the NARS Guy Bourdin palette) with a light hand in the cheekbones.
• For highlight, I used  Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight.

Lips:

• I had to do a red lip. I had to! I used a Jordana red lip liner. Be sure to apply it while making a fake smile. It's my trick to make sure you get all the spaces.
• I used MAC Rocky Horror Picture Show lipstick in Oblivion. I share more red lip options here.

Have a great weekend! Be safe, behave, and be well. Love, Elle
