This year was eclectic when it came to makeup looks. There were those who consistently went for the eye-catching bold and bright (Demi Lovato and Sofia Vergara wanted all the attention), while others stuck to three keywords: subtle, shimmery, and golden (Becky G, Selena Gomez, we're talking to ya). A fringe benefit of this all over the place range? The seemingly limitless amount of beauty inspiration you have to inspire your New Year's Eve and 2017 beauty looks. Scroll ahead to find our top eight celebrity makeup looks of the year and a few shopping links to buy everything you need to easily recreate them.
1 Selena Gomez at the Met Gala
Selena made sleek her word for the night at the 2016 Met Gala in May. The singer's makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, made sure to make her naturally chiseled cheekbones pop and glimmer with a little help from highlighter, bronzer, and glitter.

2 Demi Lovato at the iHeart Radio Music Awards
Over the last few years, and in 2016 especially, Demi has leaned into her boldness — and her makeup looks are no exception. From the bold lip to the matching bold eye, she embraced her dark side at the iHeart Radio Music Awards back in April, choosing burgundy all over.

6 Eiza González at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Making the leap from novelas to Hollywood, Eiza consistently played up her eyes and cheekbones in 2016, but nothing matched her Oscars party look. At Vanity Fair's party she was a golden siren.

7 Becky G at the Latin American Music Awards
Becky landed a role in the new Power Rangers movie, delved into a new relationship with a hottie soccer player, and dominated every red carpet she set foot on. The Latin American Music Awards found her winning in more ways than one. Her monochrome makeup look let her natural beauty shine through.

8 Sofia Vergara at the SAG Awards
We eagerly await for Sofia's arrival at any and all award shows, because we know her dress will be stunning (and sexy) and her makeup will be flawless. She consistently impressed us throughout 2016, but the bright pink lip she wore to match her fuchsia gown at the SAG Awards stole our hearts.
