The guardian of 2024 is the Green Forest Dragon. In Chinese culture, it symbolizes power, luck, success and change. Therefore, you need to prepare for New Year’s Eve in advance.
So the two main colors of next year’s patron are gold and red. Although the symbol is the Green Wood Dragon, green is not a very auspicious color for those born in the year of the Dragon. For this reason, you should not use it in make-up.
We have already written with what manicure we will celebrate the New Year, and now we move on to makeup.
gold and silver
It is believed that shades of gold and silver bring good luck to the Dragon. Moreover, makeup with metallic accents is repeated many times by fashion week makeup artists, so the technique has been on the trend list for a long time. If you are going to choose between gold and silver, choose the first. Gold reflects wealth, prosperity and success.
Metallic shadows can be used in different ways – fill the eyelid with it, make an arrow, go from the center of the eye to the temple with a large brush (for the boldest) or add it to the corners of the eyes.

“Red velvet”
This year, edible beauty trends have taken TikTok by storm. Latte makeup, strawberry girl aesthetics, and now red velvet (aka “red velvet”). The main touch of this makeup is red matte or semi-matte lips. They give makeup a feeling of comfort and luxury at the same time. By the way, red is not only a New Year’s classic, but also one of the favorite shades of the next year’s boss.
The texture of the lipstick should be soft as if it were edible. Therefore, we recommend that you choose a matte color or lipstick.

mermaidcore
Let’s be honest, the “Barbie” trend and barbiecore aesthetic is already boring. The same cannot be said for mermaidcore (also known as mermaid style). This trend was at the peak of its popularity during the summer months but is still surviving. Mermaid style makeup means bright, radiant skin, eyelids, lips and even hair. Shades of blue, purple, white are the best choice. And since the Dragon is the only mythical creature among the zodiac signs of the Chinese calendar, he will surely disguise you as a mermaid as one of his own.

Focus on eyes
Focusing on the lips is not very practical. After all, you will have to wear make-up often during a long banquet. For this reason, we recommend that you shift the emphasis in make-up to the eyes.
This can be a classic smoky eye or the currently fashionable makeup in the coquette style (or “yoke style”). The latter requires a distinctly girlish look, so eyeshadow, blush and glitter in pink tones are useful for creating makeup.

Lots of false eyelashes
One of the main trends of the coming year is the emphasis on eyelashes. Therefore, you can try them starting from the new year. The easiest way to make your look extraordinary and focus attention on your eyes is to add false eyelashes in bunches. Moreover, the longer it is, the more interesting the makeup will look.
