New Year’s Eve Party

New Year’s Eve is the perfect excuse to bring out the sequins and go for an all-out party look! It’s the party where dramatic eyeshadow, glossy lips, statement earrings, and a sparkly dress can all be put together and not be considered over the top!

Casual Day / Out and About

For a casual day of running errands, a high bun is a great option for no-fuss hair that still looks cute and put together. With pressing meetings and events not yet on the horizon, this is a great time to deep condition your hair and skin. A fresh start, indeed!

Sleek and Chic

One of our favorite 2013 makeup trends is a gold, shimmery eye. This looks great with a sleek and straight hairstyle. A fun look for a work party or night out on the town!

Everyday

This look is great for everyday—for work, coffee meetings, or school. It’s very natural and easy, but you still feel pretty and put together. Style your hair with soft, simple waves. Draw attention to your eyes with a chocolate brown smoky eye, and wear a nude, shimmery lip gloss that lasts all day.

Glamorous Night Out

If you have a glamorous event or party to attend this year, channel old Hollywood for a look that’s sure to turn heads. Wear large, gorgeous curls with a deep side part, a classic bold red lip, and statement earrings.

Products:

Clairol Natural Instincts Haircolor in Cinnaberry Medium Auburn Brown ($8.49): One-tone, all-over hair color is still a big trend in 2013. Start the new year off with a bold new color, like a deep red/auburn brown.

Girls’ Brunch

For a fun, girls-only brunch, don a trendy blouse or dress, and finish with wavy hair and bright pink lips. (We can always count on girlfriends to fully appreciate those fashion-forward looks that the men in our lives may not quite understand!)
