Glowing Skin for New Year’s Eve

How to look glam and fresh when you’ve had a month of parties already?

  • Number One is your Granny’s favourite – drink lots and lots of water. Tea and coffee don’t really count so make sure keep water glasses on the go as well. Even when you’re out it’s a good idea to mix water with wine so to speak.
  • Then cleanse, cleanse, cleanse. No matter how tired you are over the Christmas days remember to take off that makeup.
  • Invest in some heavy-duty exfoliators and masks. You don’t have to spend a fortune; Boots has some great mud-masks for €1.38
  • On the afternoon of the 31st spend some time soaking your face and loading up with last-minute minerals. Look for products which shrink pores and tighten skin – temporarily anyhow!
  • No matter how tired you are; take the time to wash your hair well and use lots of conditioner to add some shine from the top down.
  • Only use concealer in the darkest spots! Apply a luminous foundation everywhere else to shine in all the right ways.
  • Use a highlighter on your cheekbones, the inner corner of your eye and a gentle line down your nose – not too much there or you’ll look like Rudolph.
  • Add some shimmer across your chest and along the shoulders but again use a light hand.

What will you be wearing on New Year’s Eve?
