There are all sorts of New Year's Eve celebrations. While some people dread the night altogether, others are excited for a crazy party. Then there are those people that just want a quiet night with family, and those up for a big outdoor performance. Whatever kind of New Year's you're looking to have, the right makeup is key. Here are some tips for stylish NYE looks:
Setting: Club Party
If you're off to a club, you're definitely looking to have a crazy and magical night. You may be tempted to go with a full face of makeup, but it's best to play up just one feature — either your lips or your eyes, says All Women's Talk. It's also important to go with a look that requires minimal touch-ups (you know what those club bathrooms are like!). Go with a slightly shimmery shadow close to your skin tone, or have fun with a long-wearing bright red or plum-colored lip.
Setting: Family Gathering
If your night is going to be spent with family, there's probably no need to get too fancy. If you're looking to avoid snarky comments from your aunt — "Purple lipstick? What are you? One of those punks?" — a simple, classic look is your best bet. A winged or smoky eye paired with a subtle lip is a great way to feel pretty ringing in the new year.
Setting: Outdoor Performance
If you're heading to the town square for a musical performance, expect large crowds and no easy bathroom access. For this reason, don't wear any makeup that requires a mirror for touch-ups. Your cherry red lipstick could smudge on your jacket, and good luck trying to fix it in a bustling crowd. Go with a glittery eye shadow that'll catch and reflect lights, sweep on some mascara and liner, and keep the rest of your face product-free.

Lucky you! Go makeup-free and cue up the Netflix!
