Let's not just focus on the top half, focus on the whole you.





I have to say I think when someone has a tan they look healthy and radiant. So i would start by exfolating and removing unwanted hair and moisturising on the 29th, (if shaving though make it the 30th) it's best to exfoliate and moisturise the day before applying tanning products. Then on the night of the 30th, a few hours before bed time apply your chosen tanning product. Fake Bake and St Tropez are probably the best and easiest at the mo. Ensure you have applied the tanning product all over, get a friend to help with the difficult to reach places (you could do each others). To avoid streaky elbows, feet and knees apply these areas with some moisturiser. Leave to dry and go to bed with it still on. (prob best if you put a towel down on the bed as it does stain.)





Morning of the 31st - The tan has had time to develop, so now is the time to wash it off in the shower.





For Make-up - I would go for more dramatic make up. I also have dark brunette hair and greeny blue eyes. So if it was me I would apply my usual foundation, powder, bronzer/blusher. Theres no point changing the base as you already know it works. If you feel the base is a little light compared to the bronzed body a slightly darker powder does the trick.





I would make eyes dramatic and lips neutral, so maybe smoky eyes, use a light silver/grey, a charcoal/black and a shimmery white highlighter. Apply the lighter colour all over the eye lid right up to the brow. Apply the darker colour at the edges and blend up and in towards the centre using the crease of the eye as a guide. Then finally apply the shimmery white just below the eyebrow to highlight them. Ensure both eyes are even and brows are well groomed.





Line eyes with black eyeliner and dab some of the shimmery white eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes. Curl eyelashes and apply lashings of mascara.


Opt for a sheer gloss for lips, peachy pinks are best.





Hair - I'm unsure of the style you have whether it is layered or a long bob etc. Sweeping fringes always add an element of softness to the face. Avoid middle partings as this may make the look to harsh, side partings are best for softness. If it is long enough maybe some soft curls would be nice. Set in rollers then finish with curling tongs.





Finish off the look with pretty jewellery. I love diamond or cz studs with a matching necklace and braclet.





Just before putting on outfit, rub on some Body Shops Shea Butter for Body, this complements the tan, gives it a glowing shimmery glossed look.





Good luck and enjoy the night.I normally wear liquid foundation, eye liner, eye shadow, blusher %26amp; lipstick %26amp; mascara, but for New Years Eve.
try smokey eyes and a more clean look... try to attract attention to your eyes... use a little bronzer and natural lip gloss
i would go for a smoky eye, dewy cheeks, and a killer hot lipstick....go for a dramatic look (that is guessing thats not how you do your make up like that everyday)
Have you seen the benefit make up range? They do a great bronze tint that you mix with high beam to give a gorgeous bronzed illuminated look to your cheekbones - think J-Lo....





Go without eyeshadow, just liquid eyeliner and lot's of mascara for a 60's inspired look
focus everything on your eyes. make a smokey eye look using different shades of bronze/gold/brown (lay off the black and gray colors). When you put on the mascara, pull the brush away towards the side of your head, so instead of looking straight like this
|| they will look like this \\\\\. to give it a more angled look, more dramatic. then do eyeliner 3/4 of the way on your eye instead of your whole eye lid. but if you already put it just 3/4 of the way, line your whole lid. use a peach satin blush, like the one from maybelline (its the dream mousse one). use a clear lip gloss and your good to go!!!!
I would say to go to a cosmetic store and ask for a free consultation.
Highlighter used on top of your cheek bones and edges of eyes under brow. The Body Shop do a great one. It really brightens up your face. Maybe you could try different coloured lipstick (use gloss on top) or eyeshadow for a varying look? Good luck and I'm sure you'll look great!!
Very short skirt would be great, they won't be looking at the makeup.
I'll try.





You sound up to date so you probably know to use slightly warmer than lukewarm water to open your pores before cleansing and after cleaning, cooling the skin down and shrinking them again?





(That's just a tip, not advice).





The day before, put some of your regular cleanser in your palm and add some sugar. GENTLY cleanse your face in circular motions and rinse well. This will exfoliate and remove all old and dead skin cells. I wouldn't recommend using toner straight after the exfoliation but, moisturise!





Try to get your hands on some face pearls as they give your cheeks and brow a healthy glow.





If you want to try receive it in time (who knows whether you will), www.avonshop.com (AVON) sells a product called 'Shimmer Swirls Face Illuminator' or try your local market for something similar - it will help you to look radiant!





Use minimal make-up - ALWAYS. Skip the liner and use some eyeshadow contrasting to the colour of your eyes. My favourite for blue eyes is a twin darkish line on the upper lid of brown shadow, followed by a lighter tone or even better, a bright cream colour. But, that would depend on what you're wearing. You might want to have a go at a peachy colour too (depending on your exact haircolour).





Always make up either your lips or eyes with a decent amount of make-up (not over-made) but not both at the same time - that's 80s and at this stage, slutty.





So, either do your eyes up and use a light gloss on your lips or wear minimal make-up on your eyes and make sure your lips are noticed.





Hope that helps.





Happy New Year!
