It’s vitally important to care for every aspect of yourself in order to achieve your full beauty potential. Focus on what you love about yourself, what you feel empowered by, what makes you unique. To find the right beauty look, confidence is key. Whether you’re already in love or getting ready to look—refresh, revamp, reinvent, and bring in radiance this New Year with these quick and easy makeup makeover tips.
Makeover for Love Step 1: Get Glowing
Thoroughly prep your skin for the New Year by exfoliating to create youthful, glowing skin. Use a gentle acid peel, microdermabrasion, or a granular exfoliating scrub to remove lifeless skin cells and refresh your complexion—out with the old, in with the new!

Makeover for Love Step 5: Be Golden
If you’re not a fan of the red-lipstick-revolution that’s happening now, spruce up your lips with a shiny nude, gold, rust, or burnt-amber lip gloss that matches your skin tone, and work it into a nude lipstick (dot it onto the bottom lip only). This special effect will keep you glowing throughout the New Year!

Makeover for Love Step 6: Stand Corrected
The final step to ring in youthful radiance is to apply a peach-tone concealer to the undereye area. The peach hue counteracts the green-and-blue tones of dark circles. Apply with your fingertips from underneath your bottom lashes outward toward the temple. Then sweep a lightweight powder with treatment benefits over the top to set the look. Just be conscious not to blend too far out over fine lines as this may accentuate them.
