Been seeing a lot of two-tone lip looks lately, but this has to be my favorite. It's fun and flirty, especially with the cat-eyeliner.

An easy last minute beauty idea for New Year's eve... Head to a pharmacy or local Sephora and pick up a shimmery gold eyeshadow for a subtle touch of sparkle. This would go great with a burgundy lipstick and just a hint of mascara. If you want go for a bolder eye, add eyeliner, layer on more mascara and keep the lips bare/nude.
