Blogmas 2019 Day Thirteen: Festive make up picks πŸ’„

At this time of year its Christmas parties galore, so I thought that I would put together a few of my make up favourites for the festive period.


Highlighter


This is my favourite make up item. Highlighter is perfect to add a seasonal sparkle and its so pretty!!!

A couple that I use, for going out, as they are super sparkly and a little glittery (a bit much for everyday) are:

Barry m liquid chrome highlighter drops liquid fortune

Barry M Liquid chrome

Revolution liquid highlighter liquid champagne

Revolution liquid highlighter

Face


One of my ultimate favourite products is Charlotte Tillbury’s HollyWood Flawless filter

This product is great for all occasions. It’s very light and just brightens the skin and gives you a lovely glow.

Eyes


A smoky eye with a little black dress can be awesome for a work do, especially with a statement lip.

But if like me, you like a bit of sparkle (and you suck at creating ‘Smoky eyes’!!) then I’d go for a gold eye look.

I actually use one of my favourite highlighters all across the lid for a quick eye shadow.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Highligher (Discontinued)

This colour looks lovely all over the lid.

These little eye shadow pots by Maybelline are also brilliant for creating a shimmery but speedy eye look.


Lips


I love a Christmassy red lip! Especially for a Christmas party.

Most drug stores do a red lip in their collections and they are usually very reasonably priced too.

A red lip that I bought on the highstreet recently and that defied my expectations is by Essence (Wilkinson’s) called ‘Craving you.’

& finally, one of my favourite bits…


Nails


I got my Christmassy nails ready for my work do this evening. I went for gels and had to go sparkly.

I did an undercoat for both of these glitters and then went for red with a gold accent nail.

I love them ❀

Today’s make up look 💄

I thought I would share today’s make up look! It’s quite a low key look, focusing on the eyes 👀

I apologise if the pictures aren’t great but I’m in the process of getting a new phone πŸ™‚

Disclaimer: I don’t claim to be good at applying make up, this is still relatively new to me but I’m really enjoying it and I love applying it all and trying  out different looks! 

I’ll list the products I used for each part of the look.
So here it is…

So, I started off by moisturising using my Olay Beauty Fluid. I apply this all over the face and rub it in.

Next up I applied my illuminator. I used Sleek Make ups Barekissed illuninator in the shade ‘Casablanca’. I applied this using a beauty blender.

It gives my skin a lovely glow.

Next up I applied my foundation layer, for a lighter finish today I used my BB cream. The BB cream I used is The body shop All-in-one BB cream Shade no 2.

After foundation I applied Concealer. I applied this under my eyes to hide any dark circles and on any spots or blemishes. I used a beauty blender to apply both my BB cream & Concealor.

The concealer I used was Collections lasting perfection concealor in shade no 2 ‘Cool medium’.

After concealor I did my blusher & highlighter 👑

I used Bourjois Paris blusher in shade 74 ‘Rose Ambre’. The highlighter I used is by Revolution and is one of their baked highlighters.

Eyes!

I used a mix of palettes for this, I’ll pop a list below.

Before applying eyeshadow I use a primer, I would definatly recommend this as it makes the eyeshadow apply better & last longer. The primer I used was by Revolution, Focus & Fix eye primer.

I used a pale pink for the base, a shimmery pink in the crease, a dark brown/grey tone for the outer corner of the eye, a cream tone for the inner corners and a dark burgundy to add definition at the corners & under the lower lash line.

Palettes used…

  • Revolutions Redemption palette Iconic 3
  • Maybellines The blushed nudes
  • Barry Ms Super Natural Eyeshadow palette Superdrug exclusive. 

The Mascara I used is Dior’s ‘Diorshow’ Mascara in black.

Next up eyebrows…

I get my eyebrows threaded and tinted so all I do is shape and fill them using my Maybelline brow satin in the shade ‘Medium brown’. I will be featuring this in my next Beauty haul blog but I would definatly recommend giving this product a go.

Finally, lips 💄 I love liquid lipsticks but this time I went for a lipstick with a matte finish.

This is a MAC lipstick in shade ‘Pink plaid’. I got this from duty free on my recent holiday & I love this pinky tone. Pinks are defiantly my favourite when it comes to most make up items 🌸🌹

I used my Revolution Pro fix Oil control Fixing Spray at the end to make the make up last longer.

Here’s the final look πŸ™‚ 

If you have any questions about the products I used let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them 👍

Until next time,
