Get inspired by these Lunar New Year-themed beauty looks
1. Smokey Red
Match your make-up to your red Chinese New Year outfits by playing with different shades of the auspicious colour, from bright scarlet to earthy burgundy.
Tatler Tip: Cream and pencil products are the way to go because it's easier to control the intensity of the colour and transition from a casual pop of colour in the morning to alluring smokey eyes at night.

2. Peachy Cheeks
One of the biggest trend on TikTok's sister app, Douyin, right now is to brighten the face with peachy and salmon pink shades on the cheeks. Differing from trends in the West, Douyin users prefer blush on a lower part of the face, below the apple of the cheeks for the full youthful effect.

3. Colour Block
Can't choose between your two favourite colours? This trending make-up look lets you use both (or more!) to create an eye-catching look.
4. Soft Outlines
Define your goals and relationships but not your lips in the new year.
Tatler Tip: If you're looking for more dimension, you can easily achieve a soft ombré look by applying a darker shade closer to the centre of your lips.
5. Purple Highlighter
Here is a unique way to incorporate The Pantone Colour of the Year 2022 into your Chinese New Year beauty look. Instead of the conventional purple lid or lip, you can try wearing Very Peri on your cheekbones as highlighter.
