Let’s face it, 2020 was bad. We’re all absolutely tired from all the nastiness Miss Rona brought in, but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna show it. This New Year’s Eve, we’re gonna celebrate a bad year by putting on a sparkly outfit, showing off our best of the best, and painting our faces for the gods. We may not be the best at makeup, but we can always try. Nothing can put you down more than this year already has, so let’s amp things up. We challenge you to recreate these celebrity New Year’s Eve looks in your own special way. We’re sure there’s one in here that will get you inspired to dance the bad vibes of 2020 away.
Ivana Alawi
Inspired by the silver screen goddess, Elizabeth Taylor, Ivana Alawi channels her inner star power by donning a cut crease. This retro look was done by Mickey See for MEGAStyle, but you can easily recreate it. All you need is a smokey brown palette, concealer, precise makeup brushes, and cat-eye falsies.
Maine Mendoza
We were pleasantly surprised when Maine Mendoza dyed her brunette locks to an edgy blue tone. No, wait—we were absolutely living for her edgy new persona on the ‘gram after the big change. If you dyed your hair a crazy color this year, then take after Maine. Live the aesthetic by complementing your new hair with a dark lippie and flushed out cheeks.
Kathryn Bernardo
The no-makeup-makeup-look is an evergreen beauty trend, and there is no celebrity who wears it better than Ms. Kathryn Bernardo. She wore this look for her latest Happy Skin campaign, so you can purchase the exact products used for this look. Replicate her full brows, glossy lip, and bright eyes easily by practicing on your everyday makeup look. Just make sure that the end result looks effortless and carefree just like Kathryn’s.
Heart Evangelista
If you’re feeling a little extra, then do as Heart Evangelista would. Bring out the most eccentric piece from your closet and wear a glossy feline eyeshadow look. Heart’s glam was done by Jack Aguilar and Justin Louise Soriano for ROTATE Birger Christensen, so you can check out their feeds for a deeper look into the artistry.
Nadine Lustre
No one personified the foxy eye trend this year better than Nadine Lustre. She came, she conquered, and she served some fierce looks. Amen. This particular look was for a Versace campaign, which lit up social media. Now that everyone’s hopping on the fox eye trend, you can find multiple tutorials via YouTube on how you can recreate this sultry make up look.
