This Shimmery Purple and Teal Smokey Eye Is Your New Year’s Eve Look

And it conveniently pairs great with sequins.

It can take weeks (read: months) to find the perfect New Year’s Eve dress that toes the line between sexy and elegant. Do you go with the classic LBD, or bring the drama with a sequined chevron jumpsuit?

Then you have to nail down a beauty look that complements your outfit and lives up to the occasion. Even if you normally prefer the bare minimum when it comes to makeup, New Year’s is your night to change it up, because #NYE. A natural complexion sans eye makeup feels too understated, while a classic gray smokey eye feels too moody for such a big night. But this vibrant and colorful twist on the smokey eye is the perfect way to amp things up. Unexpected purple and teal pair seamlessly together for a stunning look that plays nicely with any dress or jumpsuit. New Year’s Eve? Done.
