Get the New Year party look

Smouldering smoky eyes are a party season classic, which take your look from day to disco within seconds. With Max Factor's Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow, getting the look has never been so easy and what's more, you can enjoy perfect party peepers with a twist as our double-ended applicator comes in a range of shade combos. Follow these top tips to create a monochromatic smoke out in shimmering shades of black and white.

1. This look is all about high impact eyes and perfectly polished skin, so begin by exfoliating using a gentle scrub and then apply our new Ageless Elixir 2-in-1 Foundation + Serum in broad circular motions across the face. The silky formula will glide onto the skin, creating a gorgeous finish and disguising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst protecting from harmful UV rays with its SPF15. A dab of Mastertouch Concealer on the delicate under-eye area will also help to combat dark circles.

2.Prep the eyes with a primer and then use Max Factor’s Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Onyx Smoke to create a gorgeous smoke out in seconds. Use Step One of the double- ended applicator to apply a wash of iridescence on the brow bone and in the eyes’ inner corners, then create a wash of velvety black across the lid, in the socket and along the lower lash line using Step Two.

3. Line the eyes’ waterline using Liquid Effect Eye Pencil in Black Fire for extra definition, before applying Masterpiece Glide & Define Liquid Eyeliner to the lash line of the upper lids.

4. Give your lashes serious oomph with False Lash Effect FUSION mascara in black.

5.Leave lips understated – a quick slick of Max Colour Effect Cube Gloss in Nude Brown will make them look luscious but will keep the focus on your peepers.

6.Don a classic up-do and slip on a little black dress.
