You can never go wrong with gold glitter on New Year's Eve. Whatever your lip color or makeup style is, this will enhance your appearance with a dazzling touch of shimmer on your lids. Enhance your look by preparing your lids with one of the best retinol eye sticks, ensuring a perfect base for that dazzling shimmer.

Recreating this look is easy. Start by applying a brown bronzer or brown-toned eyeshadow on your lids. Then, elevate it by layering on gold glitter liquid eyeshadow. For extra drama, pop on some false lashes.
