The New Year is approaching - do you have your New Year's outfit in order?
Goodbye to 2024...
The sweet, warm and loving Christmas season is almost over and what a wonderful season we have had this year. Now comes the most fun party of the year: New Year's Eve.
At Astrid Frank, shopping for New Year's Eve dresses is almost a celebration in itself. We love handpicking elegant, sparkling and festive dresses for the shop, knowing that they will be worn by a lot of beautiful women on this very special evening.
Read below and get inspiration for choosing your new dress as well as some good advice on how to easily do your hair and makeup for this enchanting evening.
4 things your New Year's outfit should have
The dress can be more festive than your usual 'going out dress'. You can turn up the glitter, wild colors and beautiful cutouts.
This evening it's possible to turn up the volume on wild accessories, big jewelry and colorful stilettos . Don't hold back!
Match your outfit to your phrases and the theme. This is of course not a 'must', but a fun idea if you want to make something extra out of the party.
Most importantly: you should feel comfortable in your outfit and not choose something that feels too tight or challenging for your style.
Our take on the perfect dress
Even though your new, beautiful New Year's dress will soon be here, there are several steps that need to be taken before this special evening.
New Year's Eve checklist
MAKEUP
You are free to throw yourself into a wild make-up look with glitter, eyeliner and false eyelashes. Don't hold back, but it might be a good idea to practice a few days beforehand so that the make-up just works for the evening.
You can quickly and easily create a beautiful look with golden stones and gold leaf - only your imagination sets the limits!
SELF-TANNING
Self-tanning is the perfect way to quickly (and healthily) achieve a dark and delicious glow. We recommend that you start your self-tanning project the day before you are going to party.
1.
Start by scrubbing your body thoroughly with a body scrub or scrub glove in the bath. You can also shave your legs while you're at it.
2.
Dry your body and apply body lotion to the 'dry' areas of your body such as elbows, knees and feet.
3.
Apply self-tanner all over your body and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. If you have blonde hair and are using spray tanner, we recommend using a hairnet.
Let the color work for a few hours or sleep with it on. Wash off excess color in the shower and finish with a good moisturizer.
HAIR NEEDS TO BE SET
Our go-to hairstyle is beautiful, elegant curls. This is quick, easy and only requires a curling iron, hairspray and a heat protectant spray.
1.
Comb through your hair and apply heat protection to the lengths. (A heat protection spray helps to keep the curls longer and protects the hair from heat damage - win win!)
2.
Curl your hair with either a curling iron or a straightener.
3.
Spray hairspray on the curls and then comb through them carefully with a brush. Apply a little hair oil to the lengths for extra shine.
THE BAG MUST BE PACKED
It is important that your bag is packed for the evening's hardships. Leave important things at home, such as your driver's license, etc., that you will not need during the evening. Pack extra eyelash glue, powder, and hand sanitizer.
Find a bag that is a good size and easy to carry throughout the evening.
We hope this post can guide you on your way and help you get ready for the most fun party of the year.
SEE YOU IN 2025...
Thank you for following our universe here at Astrid Frank. We look forward to an exciting new year with lots of new initiatives and wonderful products.
