New Year's Eve make-up: Which of these 3 types are you?

Forget the perfect New Year's Eve outfit. What you wear on your face is much more important. Whether it's a hint of nothing or plastered on beyond recognition: I'll show you which products suit your make-up type.

1. The natural "jo nöd z'viel" type

Do you walk around topless in everyday life, but want to leave your comfort zone for the New Year's Eve party? Then treat yourself to a coat of mascara. But don't forget to wipe the brush on a tissue several times beforehand. We don't want anyone to recognise you after you've applied your mascara. Finish off with some powder, which nobody will see anyway. That's it. But the main thing is that you notice the difference.

2. The minimalist "it can be a little more on special occasions" type

Only mascara and colourless powder aren't enough for you? Do you want more from life and constantly hear the credo "no risk, no fun" echoing in your head? A red lipstick and a bronzer will get you out of the grey corner with little effort. And yes, if you have to, you can dab the lipstick on your lips with feather-light movements. Everyone defines being wild differently.

3. The plumped-up "more is more and yet not enough" type

Do you like to stand out and no price is too high for you? Then start with a solid base coat. The best way to do this is to apply a one-centimetre layer of foundation. Even if dark circles under the eyes no longer stand a chance, you shouldn't go without a concealer under any circumstances. Then set everything with a powder.

Breathe dimension and life into your face with bronzer, blush and highlighter. Make sure you apply enough of the latter. This will send clear light signals to the Martians so that they know you're there: You're on!

For your eye make-up, use an eyeshadow palette that covers a broad spectrum of the rainbow. Top it off with some glitter and then all you need is eyeliner and eyelashes. Because mascara doesn't conjure up enough wawawoom, fake lashes should be glued on. The good thing about them: if it gets too warm at your New Year's Eve party, you can use them to fan your friends. This way, you can collect friendship bonus points for the new year.

Red would be too predictable for lips. So go for a dark, berry high-gloss gloss for an extra S&M effect.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
