New Year’s Eve is definitely a marathon, not a sprint, so plan your skincare and makeup accordingly – because you don’t want 9 p.m. to roll around and you need a full on touch up.
Looking for some va va voom volume? Biolage R.A.W. Uplift Shampoo utilizes black sesame and grapefruit to purify lackluster, fine hair without stripping nourishing essentials, resulting in lightweight body that lasts, while Biolage R.A.W. Uplift Conditioner ($25 each, www.matrix.com) boosts body with kiwi and kaolin clay, which weightlessly condition for the ultimate lift.
Has this cold front left your complexion a mess? Add some subtle glow with L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Collection’s Glow Armour Illuminating Drops ($14.99, www.lorealparisusa.com), a custom highlighting pigment that can be mixed with face cream, makeup, or foundation, depending on your desired level of dewiness.

Prone to under eye bags? Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches ($52, www.peterthomasroth.com) is a must for the next day. Hyaluronic Acid, Caffeine, Ceramide 3, and Collagen provide instant relief that de-puffs, hydrates, plumps, and tones.
Another quick way to boost radiance is The Body Shop Instaglow CC Cream ($22, www.thebodyshop.com), which comes in a bright glow, peachy glow and warm glow. Use pre-foundation as a primer that illuminates, reduces pore appearance and shine, and provides a full day’s worth of moisture.
Plan on a DIY mani? Add some sparkle with Love OPI, XOXO Collection in Coalmates ($10.50 www.opi.com), which is available at Ulta, a versatile metallic charcoal that will match any outfit.
For lush lashes, swipe on GrandeMascara ($25, www.sephora.com), which is made up of a formula that not only makes lashes look more voluminous right away, but it’s award winning lash serum also enhances length over time.

On NYE, sparkle is a must.

And, it’s unique mix of vanilla musk, exotic citrus and eastern florals smells amazing.
When your complexion looks like it’s in desperate need of a pick me up, don’t plan on starting from scratch. Just break out Gallany Lustrous Facial Mist ($22, gallany.com), spritz a few times and it’ll look like you just applied your makeup.
