So, our ICONIC crew… Let the glam session begin, and may the countdown be as flawless as our winged liner! 🌟💋 #NewYearNewGlam #SlayTheCountdown

[STEP 1] PRIME TIME

For a make-up look that will last all night long, priming your skin is a skip not to be missed. Underglow Blurring Primer blurs pores and imperfections, leaving your complexion prepped and beautified while working overtime to help hold onto your make-up, way past midnight.

[STEP 2] THE PERFECT CANVAS

For a flawless skin base, Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint is the one. It’s lightweight enough to look natural and dewy-looking on the skin, but can be built up to really give a soft-focus, velvet coverage that not only lasts – but looks airbrushed and beautiful on photos.

[STEP 3] LIFT & ILLUMINATE

Next up, it’s time to conceal any blemishes and brighten dark circles. Use the creamy crayon side of the Radiant Concealer & Brightening Duo to brighten any areas of darkness, before going in with the liquid end to lift and illuminate the skin.

[STEP 4] GET SNATCHED

For bronzer, we love our Ultimate Bronzing Powder in winter. The finely-milled powder formula melts into the skin for a natural-looking warmth and glow that’s super radiant. Use under the cheekbones and jawline to snatch your skin – creating a lifted and elegant look.

[STEP 5] WINTER SUN

Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean we don’t want a radiant, sun-kissed glow which is where Kissed By The Sun comes in. It imparts a soft flush of blush to the skin, along with golden pigments that sheen and sparkle in the light. People will assume you’ve been off for some winter sun over the Christmas break.

[STEP 6] HIGHLIGHT THE NIGHT

It’s NYE babes so we’re glowing big on Illuminator. Our OG glow-giver, use three dots to highlight above the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, brow bone and cupid’s bow. Top tip: if you’ve got your arms, legs or decolletage out this New Year’s, mix some Illuminator in with your favourite body moisturiser and prepare to glow from head-to-toe.

[STEP 7] BROWS THAT WOW

For long-lasting, fluffy and perfected brows – our Triple Precision Brow Definer is the one you need. Start by brushing through your arches with the spoolie end before using the soft pencil to define the shape of your brows. Then, go in with the liquid end to create hair-like strokes to the tail end. For full and fluffiness, comb Liquid Brow Silk Max Hold through your brows for longwear hold that’ll last all night.

[STEP 8] DAY TO SLAY

Whether you’re a glam queen with a million eyeshadow tutorials under your belt, or you’re a novice wanting something simplistic – our Day To Slay Palette has everything you need to create stand-out smoky eyes or subtle washes of eyeshadow. We love to simply blend a warm shade through the lid (Ultimate Tan is gorge on every skin tone) before jazzing things up with…

[STEP 9] SPARKLING MOMENTS

Glaze Crayons! It wouldn’t be a NYE look without a touch of sparkle, which is where our ICONIC Glaze Crayons come in. Use the crayon end to add a golden sheen over the entire eye lid before using the liquid wet-look glitter to really add some sparkle to the eyes.

[STEP 10] COUNTDOWN TO KISS

Of course, everyone needs a perfected pout for NYE… after all, who knows who you’ll be stood next to come countdown. Start by lining the lips with our Fuller Pout Sculpting Lip Liner (you can also fill in the entire lip with pencil for a longer-lasting plump out) before layering on Lip Plumping Gloss for a gorgeously glossy finish.

[STEP 11] GLOW UP, 2024

Last but not least, it’s time to set the stage for an epic New Year's Eve with a final spritz of the Prep-Set-Glow. This multi-tasking mist is like the encore to your make-up routine, locking in your look and giving you that last-minute glow. It's the finishing touch that ensures you're ready for whatever the night brings. Prep, set, glow – because the countdown to a fabulous 2024 starts now!
