Christmas to New Years Eve Look in 5 Minutes!

Christmas to NYE in Five Minutes!

This is basically a night to day look, or essentially a how to quickly transform a look in about 5 minutes. I like to change things up quite a bit, but its also good to kind of get a routine and a look down, especially for special events so you aren't putzing around, running late, for every special holiday! I'm not saying I listen to my own advice, I just dish it out :) I hope you like my post on how to turn your Christmas look into a New Years Eve look in 5 Minutes!

When I think of Christmas I think of just a classic, simple look. Here is what I used/did to create this look:

• Solid colored top, paired with very sparkly earrings!
• Use your favorite long lasting foundation with a primer underneath. I used Smashbox photo finish primer along with Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab foundation 
• Pick colors that inspire you this time of year. I mainly stuck with the same color palette without being too matchy matchy. By that I mean I picked a lot of colors with rose and golds to them. 
• Eyeshadow: Lancome Palette 209 Blush Sweetness 
• Blush: Nars Orgasm 
• Use a fluffy kabuki brush to apply a light bronzer. I used my fave, Tarte's Park Ave Princess. 
• Eyeliner was Lancome's Art Liner liquid liner in Aubergine which is a very deep plumy purple and my all time fave.
• Lipstick was Exude's Nude paired with Laura Geller's Air Whipped Lip Wear in Praline.
• Add some false lashes and be sure to use a makeup setting spray like Urban Decay's All Nighter.
• My hair was pulled back in a sleek look with added volume on top and a low bun.

New Years Eve Look:

Now when I think of New Years Eve, I think of fun and glamour! Here is what I did/used to create this look in addition to the steps above:

• Added a sparkly top instead of my solid blazer above. Paired this with a different bigger set of sparkly earrings!
• Think ahead of time about your color scheme. I wanted to add in some purples, which I knew would pair really well with pinks, golds, and rose. 
• Add some gorgeous purple eyeshadow. This is from the Laura Geller, Bright Lids, Big City collection called upper East Side Purple. You can apply these colors wet or dry. I applied it wet for added drama. I simply add this on top of my existing eyeshadow onto the lid and as an eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. I winged this out a bit for some added drama.
• I added a sparkly liner shade on the upper and lower lash line. I refershed my liquid liner on top and then dabbed this color on top. Color used was Revlon Diamond Dust in 120 Night Sky. I applied some regular black eyeliner to my lower lash line and then added this ontop so it sticks better and there is less fall out.
• I switched out my neutral lip shade for a pumped up color. I used Beauty For Real's Gloss in Night Out.
• Its hard to tell, but I took my classic bun look, pulled my hair up into a messy higher bun for some added fun.
