(Newswire.net — December 26, 2016) — We are all rapidly approaching that time of year when we begin to look forward to an ending. The closing out of one year means the ringing in of a brand new year. The exciting possibilities of the future make us excited to turn the corner toward a clean slate. This unique time is perfect for shaking things up with a fashion statement. Here are three makeup and hair looks that will surely turn heads, no matter what you want your look to say.

1. ROMANTIC

There is no better way to embody optimism and romance than with a look that is captivating and timeless. The softness of these hair and makeup options are the flirty head-turners that will show people your sweet and approachable side.

Hair

If you have short hair, loose curls give your beautiful face a soft, alluring frame.

For long hair, braids or loose buns are both good options for a whimsical romance.

Hair accessories for a romantic new year include flowers and demure cocktail or fastener hats.

Makeup

Eyeshadow colors should be natural and smooth. Skin tones and subtle shading only, but be sure to include a little bit of shimmer for a bit of added glow.

For a romantic lip color, a rosey pink or glossy beige will help you flaunt a flirty, kissable look. A classic red might also be appropriate if you are in the mood to really grab attention.

Nail color should match your outfit without being loud. Pastels are preferable.

2. BOLD

With this time of year comes the empowering potential to turn over a new leaf and improve your life. In a season when we all have our eyes on the future, it is the perfect time to loudly reveal a whole new you.

Hair

For short hair, a chic yet severe slicked-back look makes a stunning impression.

Those with long hair may want to model an extreme ponytail or starkly-straightened style.

Hair accessories could range from feathers to bows. Be as loud as you want!

Makeup

Your eyes should be framed with bold liner and bright colors. The more extravagant, the better.

Try a bright lip color this new year season. Go outside-the-box as far as you dare.

Consider a detailed neon manicure. Every sip of your cocktail will have eyes glued to you.

3. MYSTERIOUS

It could be that mystique is what you are hoping to cultivate in the upcoming year. The proper hair and makeup duo will help you ring in the new year with the just the right amount of attractive secrecy.

Hair

If your hair is short, the messy yet composed look of tussled, asymmetrical hair may be what you are looking for.

Long hair can peak curiosity by being styled in an edgy editorial fashion. This can be as elaborate or simple as you feel comfortable with.

Accessories may not be helpful when your hair is the subject of envious conversation.

Makeup

A smokey, smudged eye makeup will help give your look a high-fashion irreverence.

Dark lip colors can help add an element of edge and danger.

Manicures and nail art should be severe. Think clean lines and pointed tips.

 Regardless of what you want your style to reveal about you, these three look guidelines can be tailored, toned down or turned up depending on your hair and skin types. The most important thing to remember is to show the world exactly who you want to be this year.
