New Years Outfit

New years eve is the perfect excuse to dress up in a new outfit, get a manicure and go all out. Whether you’re going on a night out, going for dinner or staying in with family and friends, why not start the year off looking and feeling fantastic?

In this post I’ll show you how I got ready for my night, in a series of photos and commentary.  

Outfit

I decided to wear a sequin top and high wasted black skirt both from Forever 21, 
because I thought it gave off a classy impression. The skirt simplifies the outfit, while the top glamorises the outfit, making this pair the perfect combination. 

The royal blue colour of the sequins is what attracted me to this top; it is such a elegant colour which has been appearing in many stores this season. Although the front is a very modest cut, the back stoops low and creates a classy showing of skin.

  

Make up

Wearing a beautiful out fit gives you the perfect reason to use your finest and favorite makeup for the evening. 

 

This Benefit Flawless Complexion Kit has been a life saver for me on many occasions, so it is only right to use it for new years. This kit contains a miniature tube of The Pore Fessional, Hello Flawless foundation, Boi-ing concealer in shades 02 and 03 (personally I prefer just using shade 02 as it matches my skin far better ) and "I'm cute as a bunny" Honey face powder.  

Other make up I used to create my look include a mixture of high end and drug store brands, which are listed below.

Left to right: MAC Fabulousness/5 Neutral Eyes Pallet, Benefit dandelion Blush, H&M Seduced by Sydney Eyeshadow, MAC Frost Lipstick Fresh Moroccan, GOSH Eyeshadow brush, Benefit Watt's Up! Highlighter, MAC False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara, Maybelline BROW drama Brow Mascara, Chanel Travel Kabuki Brush, Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour Felt Tip Liner, GOSH Silky Rose Cream Blusher and Sally Hansen Gingembre Cream Blush.

(Personally I beleive if you lightly layer different shades of blush, you can create a more natural glowing look)

Extras

To complete my look, I wore black tights paired with black flats (walking around crowed streets in heels is just a no go!). For my hair I just created a simple high ponytail look by straightening my hair and then tying it up and pinning my fringe to the side. 

Final Look 

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope 2014 is your year, you deserve it xx
