1.1. Glamorous Waves: For a Grand Entrance
Big, voluminous waves are a true classic for festive occasions. It's no coincidence that stars on the red carpet often wear the "glam waves"! They add elegance to your look and are ideal for dresses with round necklines or sweetheart necklines, as your curls elegantly fall over your shoulder here.
How to style the look:
Divide your hair into sections and use a curling iron with a large barrel to create even waves.
Brush out the curls gently to achieve a soft, glamorous look.
Fix the waves with a flexible hairspray.

offers flexible hold and preserves the natural movement of the waves. The hair does not stick together and still stays in its style.
1.2. Sleek Ponytail: Modern and Chic
A sleek, shiny ponytail is timeless and at the same time modern. Plus, it keeps your hair out of your face, allowing your face and makeup to stand out perfectly. A low ponytail goes especially well with asymmetrical or high-necked outfits and creates a clean silhouette.
Styling Tips:
Draw a precise center parting with a tail comb and comb or brush the hair straight back.
If you want, you can straighten your hair at the roots with a flat iron for an especially "sleek" look.
Tie the hair low at the nape of the neck or high at the back of the head.
Wrap a strand of hair around the hair tie for a professional look and a special twist. You can either secure the strand with a hairpin below the hair tie or tie it again with a small, transparent hair tie.
1.3. Updos: Classic Meets Modern
Whether chignon, bun, or half-updo – updos are elegant and versatile. This year, loose strands or braided details are especially trendy. They go perfectly with off-the-shoulder dresses or V-necks and draw attention to your face.
How to achieve the hairstyle:
Loosely pin up your hair and let a few strands fall out to soften the look.
For a romantic touch, braid individual sections and incorporate them into the hairstyle.
For pinning, you can use large hair clips. A ponytail as a base, wrapped around the hair tie and secured with hairpins, is also possible.

Style soft waves into your hair.
Tie the top part of your hair loosely or braid it.

2. Makeup Trends: Shine and Radiance
New Year's Eve offers the perfect opportunity to be bolder with makeup. Current trends focus on metallic eyeshadows, fresh highlighters, and glossy lips.
2.1. Emphasizing the Eyes
Opt for shimmering eyeshadows in gold or silver and pair them with a precise eyeliner. Mascara in black or a shade like dark blue provides an intense finish.
2.2. Fresh Complexion with Highlighter
A radiant complexion becomes an eye-catcher with a well-placed highlighter. Apply it to the cheekbones, the tip of the nose, and under the eyebrows.
2.3. Highlighting the Lips
From dark berry red to transparent gloss – the lips perfectly complete your look. You can choose the color here to match your hair color: while bright red often suits blonde tones better, brunettes can opt for Bordeaux shades.
3. Perfectly combine outfit and hairstyle
If you want to receive many admiring glances for your great styling, the overall harmony is very important. That means: Make sure to coordinate your hairstyle, makeup, and outfit. The colors in the outfit can also be reflected in the makeup to create a unified look. The hairstyle should also match your neckline: Especially with off-shoulder or shoulder-baring cuts, open and half-open hair that falls in beautiful waves over your shoulder shine. More closed necklines, on the other hand, call for an updo that visually elongates your silhouette.
