Let’s Party:
When heading out this New Years, you want your makeup to last until the ball drops. And how we prep our skin is a key factor in how our makeup looks throughout the evening’s festivities.
As a pro prepping for makeup, I like to focus on skin moisturization and hydration, while streamlining my routine as much as possible.
Here’s my ideal routine to create a flawless canvas for a New Year's Eve look that lasts:
- Start with a deep, clarifying cleanse with our Vitamin C Cleanser
- Apply our Hydrating Toner to remove any extra impurities, deliver a dose of visible hydration, and leave a gorgeous glow
- Spritz the skin with water or press in a second layer of our hydrating toner.
- While your skin is damp, press 3-5 drops of a hydrating serum like our Dramatically Dewy Serum around your face, neck, and under eyes.
- Using your ring finger, gently massage a small dab of our Advanced Repair Eye Cream around your eyes to help visibly smooth and de-puff.
- Reach for a moisturizer to seal the deal on hydration – for all skin types, our Brilliant Barrier Water Cream is a gorgeous primer. And if you need some extra hydration, layer on our best-selling Anti Wrinkle Moisturizer.
- If this is a day-to-night look, apply our Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF. This skin protection superstar evens the look of your skin and adds radiance.
Party Pro Tip #1:
If you’re looking for an added touch of brightness, press a few drops of our 30% Vitamin C Dry Oil directly into your skin, or mix it into your moisturizer or foundation.
Party Pro Tip #2:
When layering your skincare, I suggest waiting 30-60 seconds between each step, but you can adjust as best suits your skin and the feel of your products.

If your NYE celebration looks a little more like cozy night in, here’s a nourishing, radiance-boosting routine to help you ring in the new year feeling your best.
- Cleanse and tone the skin to help maximize your serum’s penetration.
- Apply a second layer of the hydrating toner with your hands for a double hydrating boost.
- Press the serums of your choice around your face, neck, chest – and even the backs of your hands to help you feel extra pampered.
- Dab a little extra Dramatically Dewy Serum under the eye area to help pump up your glow.
- Gently massage our Advanced Repair Eye Cream around your eye area for a moment of de-puffing relaxation.
- Layer on a moisturizer of your choice to lock in all of those vitamins and nutrients.
- Press 2-3 drops of the 30% Vitamin C Dry Oil around your face.
- Take another drop of our Dry Oil and dab an extra layer on dark spots.
- Apply our Tighten and Lift Neck Cream to the neck, chest, and back of the hands.
Pamper Pro Tip #1:
To make this routine feel like a trip to the spa, try placing some of your products in the fridge 1-2 hours before applying for a relaxing, cooling effect. For best results, we recommend only chilling your creams and serums – leaving cleansers, oils, sunscreens, and clay masks at room temperature.
