    Sonia Rykiel: Smoky Lids and Soft Waves

    The beauty of the greasy, smoky black lids Julie de Libran requested for her Spring Sonia Rykiel collection is that they’ll just keep getting better as the night wears on. Also worth a second look: those soft, center-parted ’70s waves. If you don’t have time for a curling iron, sleep in a braid and brush out for a similarly airy texture.

    Lanvin: The Deconstructed French Twist

    Wearing a classic, exacting French twist to a New Year’s party is asking for trouble. A deconstructed French twist, however, is a completely different story. Secure a low ponytail, twist, and pin, then haphazardly tie on a piece of grosgrain ribbon for that extra touch of uninhibited festiveness.

    Nina Ricci: High-Gloss Lips

    Matte lipstick has become mainstream over the past few seasons, but Aaron de Mey’s Plasticine lip at Nina Ricci has much more champagne-clanking appeal. Pro tip: Mattify your lipstick with a light dusting of translucent powder before adding a coat of high-shine red gloss to lock down the color.

    Balmain: The High Ponytail

    The I Dream of Jeannie–esque updo has never gone out of style, but Balmain’s version—paired with bronzed, sculpted cheekbones, statement earrings, and fierce girl-squad confidence—was born for an up-all-night dance party.

    Giambattista Valli: Glittering Lids

    Glitter: It was made for New Year’s Eve. Too bad it’s such a mess to work with. But makeup artist Val Garland’s trick backstage at Giambattista Valli to keep the glitter on your lids, not all over your face, is something of a game changer: Just blend your favorite flecks with MAC’s Mixing Medium, dip your brush into the mixture, and apply along the crease of your eyelid for a sparkle that will last well past midnight.
