You’ve spent weeks pondering your NYE party attire, and if you ask us, your makeup look deserves proper planning too. For a much-needed dose of inspo, we turned to the glam ladies who’ve defined party beauty with their signature looks. Here, we’ll show you how to start the new year looking like a bona fide icon.

Smoky Cat Eye

When a slick of liquid liner seems too severe, make like Pam Grier and opt for a softer cat eye using gray-scale eye shadow and an angled brush. A few coats of mascara finish the look purrfectly.

Shimmering Cheeks

Channel Cher and accent your cheekbones by way of a shimmering bronzer and blush combo. To nail the '70s-inspired vibe without looking overly made-up make sure to blend evenly.

Loads Of Lashes

Not blessed with Diana Ross's smoldering stare? No problem! All you need is a set of fluffy falsies for your top lashes, mascara for your bottom lashes and a swipe of liquid eyeliner. Voilà!

Kissable Lips
