Women across the UK are preparing to close out 2024 with glamorous makeup looks that mix textures, glitters and metallics.
Celebrity makeup artist Mira Parmar (@miramakeup) revealed the key elements to focus on combining different finishes with bold red or berry lips.
She said: “Key elements for this year are all about mixing textures, glitters and metallics, a bold red or berry lip and beautiful blush.
“Burgundy or dark berry is everywhere not just in makeup and nails but in fashion too.”

Mira recommended for those who are a bit of a newbie with makeup to try a basic lip gloss for a soft and glossy feel.
She said women should prepare their lips, particularly in these winter months to make sure they have a smooth, shiny and moisturised finish.
The expert also said people can enhance their skin with different moisturisers to leave their skin shining.
She said: “Enhancing mature skin is easy, it is all about less is more. Finding tinted moisturisers and bb creams to give a little coverage while letting the skin shine through. Find a good concealer that is not too drying and blends effortlessly into the skin.”
For women’s eyes, the expert advised not putting on lots of mascara and instead being more cautious with their approach.
Mira said: “Less is more as mentioned above, find the features you love and want to enhance and work on them.
“Bold eyes are always in, so a great eyeshadow and mascara is always a big win.
“If you have sensitive eyes or wear contacts then a tubing mascara will be for you like Hildun Beauty. It’s brilliant and smudge-proof.”

To get rid of wrinkles, the expert emphasised the importance of preparation before getting into the details of your makeup.
She said: “It is all about the base to avoid emphasising any fine lines or wrinkles.
“Prepare skin first and use a great eye cream like evolve eye and lip contour, use urban decay eye primer on the lids and then apply eyeshadow.
“Use a longwear eyeshadow stick for maximum performance. For highlights, I tend to apply to the higher part of my cheekbones and blend, my cupid bow and the bridge of my nose, basically everywhere the sunlight hits.”
