Now, we know that black might not be the most auspicious colour for the Chinese New Year, but we might just take our chances with this extra-bold makeup look! For the beauty aficionado who craves a little extra edge, this punk glam makeup look might just be the makeup look of your dreams. Even your aunts and grandparents might just be in awe of this makeup look!

For this look, apply a trusty matte black eyeshadow all over the lids before blending it upwards to create a cat-winged effect. Then, blend out the harsh shadows with a brown eyeshadow to create the illusion of a deep crease.

While we love vivid eyeshadow looks as much as the next person, going minimal with the makeup can be equally gorgeous too! If you are looking to take on the effortless makeup look, ditch the bright eyeshadows and go back to the basics with the bare necessities. As its name suggests, this eye makeup look uses soft, warm brown tones to subtly accentuate the eyes and enhances your features in the most elusive way possible.

If you are looking to balance out the all-natural hues with something a little bolder, opt for a classic winged eyeliner and some voluminous falsies to add a sultry touch to your eye makeup!

Moody tones might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Chinese New Year, but they definitely add some chicness to your look. This classic smokey eye is the archetypal example to how this timeless look can take your glam game to the next level. Plus, it makes the perfect fit for those looking for a night-out right after a long day of house visiting affairs!

To achieve this look, you can always smudge out a black kohl eyeliner all over your eyelids. Then, complement your look with brown and bronze shades for a seamless blend.

Pink Shimmer

For those who are ardent believers of being pretty in pink, you cannot go wrong with rocking your Chinese New Year look with a pink eyeshadow. Perfect for the springtime, a pink eyeshadow look is for the sweetheart in all of us. Of course, if you are looking to amp up your look, a burst of shimmer never hurt anyone. All you have to do is to apply a duo-chrome shimmer to the center of your lids to leave your eyes with an enviable gleam! You can also choose to pair this eyeshadow look with a glossy, nude pink lipstick for the final touch.

Classic Blue

What better way to add some colour to your eye makeup to than to pay homage to Pantone’s Colour of the Year? Although the classic blue eyeshadow might seem like it belongs in the early ‘00s, ocean hues are making a bold comeback this season and they are here to stay!

For this look, apply a good mix of blue hues on the entire eyelid and under the lash line to create a smokey eye effect with a twist. Then, top off your eye makeup look by highlighting your inner corners with a luminescent shimmer to make your eyes pop.

Coloured Eyeliner

Striking colours are having their moment this 2020, and what better timing to play with them than Chinese New Year? If the usual cat winged liner, go for a graphic coloured eyeliner to inject a colourful flair to your look. Whether you are a fan of ruby red or neon white, a coloured eyeliner is super versatile to take your eye look from drab to the life of the party in an instant. Be warned though, this makeup look is certainly not for the faint of heart.
