I have historically been one to stick to fairly simple and classic hair and makeup looks. It is coming as a surprise that as I get older I’m finding myself increasingly interested in experimenting with my look and learning new tips and tricks. I’m ready to mix things up a bit! That is why I am especially loving these four New Year’s Eve beauty and hair picks; they are the complete opposite of what I would normally be inclined to wear. I want to push the boundaries of my comfort zone in 2016 and there is no better time to start than the second the clock strikes midnight on January 1.
Top New Year’s Eve Beauty Picks

This is such a fresh and relatively easy to duplicate look – bronzed skin, flushed cheeks, lashes for days and a barely-there nude lip.

I have been wanting to try a bold mouth and this look with porcelain skin, bronzed eyes and a glossy wine lip is leaving me all kinds of inspired.
Top New Year’s Eve Hair Picks

I generally wear my hair down on NYE and am loving the idea of wearing it up. Delicate embellishments like this one found on Alberta Ferretti’s S/S ’16 runway are a gorgeous way to add feminine and minimalist details to the mix.

Dubbed “The Power Braid”, versions of this baby popped up on both Celine and Public School’s S/S 2016 runways. I’m dying to rock this sleek look with a bold dark lip.
This year I will be spending New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam on the first stop of our honeymoon. We have yet to decide what we are doing so I’m not certain which of these looks I’ll go with but I’m excited to have fun new beauty and hair inspiration all lined up.
