Happy New Year! Red Wings/Kohaku Uta Gassen EOTD New Year's Eve

Happy New Year to all my lovely readers!  Did you glam it up for New Years Eve? I did a festive look for the Red Wings game I attended last night.  Red and White are also the colors I could have worn for a Kohaku Uta Gassen viewing party in Japan.  Kohaku Uta Gassen is a girls vs. boys singing competition on NHK network every year in Japan.  The literal translation is the Red (ko) & White (haku) Song Competition.  Top musical acts compete on either side and a winner is chosen... it's not really unlike New Year's Rockin' Eve on TV in the U.S., except they make a little "competition" out of it! A quick google search shows that last night the Red Team (girls' team!) won... and so did the Red Wings!  Good omen for the new year, no?








Products used:
Face - Benefit The Porefessional, Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation in Beige 30, Dermablend concealer in Natural Beige, Essence Flower Powder (disc.), Rimmel Santa Rose blush

Eyes - TFSI, NYX Jumbo Pencils in Milk (lid) and Cherry (crease), NYX Trio shadow in Perpetual (red only), white shimmer shadow (forgot which), Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre (over the top of the white shadow only), Wet n Wild single shadow in Brulee blending out crease and on browbone, NYX Liquid Crystal liner in Crystal Hip (along lower lashline only), K-Palette black liquid liner pen along top lashline, YSL Effet Faux Cils Shocking mascara layered under Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill mascara (both are so expensive but not good enough on their own IMHO), Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Lips - just MAC Hue

Here's to a glamorous and winning 2012!

    This is beautiful. I love red as an eyeshadow, and the placement and vibrancy of the red adds a remarkable "oomph" to the look.

    When I clicked on your blog, I literally said out loud, "Oh, wow!" when I saw your eyes. I never thought about creating wings over my eye lids. That's super interesting!

    Happy New Year, beautiful! :)

    Happy New Year, Bonnie! Actually I didn't intend them to be wings, lol ;) I live in Detroit and my fave team is the Detroit Red Wings (hockey). We went to the Wings/Blues game on New Years Eve so it was team spirit ^.^;;
