11 Stunning Red Carpet Beauty Looks We're Stealing this New Year's Eve

Because the best way to ring in the New Year is with a killer smoky eye (or bold lip)

Cate Blanchett's Golden Gleam
On New Year's Eve, I like to get away with as much sparkle as humanly possible. However, I usually confine it to my dress. Glitter all over my face and my outfit is too much, even for a sequin enthusiast like me. That's why I'll be looking to Cate Blanchett's classy, flawless makeup from the 2014 Academy Awards. --Emily Woodruff

The easiest way to fake Blanchett's flawless skin is with the Temptu Signature Starter Kit, $200. The airbrush application guarantees your makeup will stay in place the whole night, plus the kit comes with foundation, highlighter and blush. Load up on mascara, then apply Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy in Incognito, $37, for a creamy pale pink lip like Blanchett's.

Margot Robbie's Plum Lip
I didn't think it was possible for Margot Robbie to be any prettier after seeing her in "The Wolf of Wall Street." Then she stepped onto the Oscars' red carpet -- almost completely unrecognizable with dark hair -- with a bold lip and Lana Turner wave combo I still drool over. The plum lip is an unexpected pop of color that complements the rest of her classic look, perfect for an elegant New Year's Eve fete. Now, if only I could copy that sparkly Saint Laurent dress as well. --Marissa DeSantis

To recreate the makeup for New Year's, I'm concentrating on the lip by lining and filling with M.A.C. Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Absolutely It, $21, to give the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in Violet Edition, $36, an extra boost of staying power. The tiniest swipe of black eyeliner and two to three rounds of curling my lashes and coating them in Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara in black, $29.50, will give me oversized lashes without the hassle of applying falsies.

Taylor Schilling's Shimmery Smoky Eye
When it comes to New Year's Eve makeup, I'll choose a glittery eye over a statement lip every time (I hate dealing with smudged lipstick and touch ups). Taylor Schilling's Emmys look has just the right amount of sparkle to be festive without going OTT, and I love the way her bold brows keep the look defined. --Allie Flinn
