Hello beauties!
I hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas
and Father Christmas bought you everything you wanted :)
Today I thought I'd show you the makeup look that I
wore on Christmas Day and Boxing Day as I really liked it and hope that you do
aswell!
Here is the look in which I am doing a step by step
tutorial of how to achieve it!
Before doing anything, make sure you have washed
your face with your cleanser to make sure you have washed off any grease/dirt
as if you don't, you will be rubbing it into the skin when using makeup.
•
I always like to start off with the Collection
concealer to remove the under-eye circles and to make me look more awake! I
also add a couple of blobs of it onto my cheeks and then rubbing it in to cover
up any imperfections...
Next is foundation. This is pretty much the only
foundation I am using at the moment and I absolutely love it. It's mineral
foundation by Bare Minerals and it gives the skin such good coverage. To apply
it I use the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. The fibres in this brush are so
lovely and soft and help apply the foundation beautifully...
Last but definitely not least..
Blusher!
This gorgeous shade of red is applied very lightly
onto the apples of the cheeks so that you don't look like a clown ;) but light
enough to express a warm and healthy glow. To apply this I use the blusher
brush from Clinique which is once again lovely and soft :)
• Eyeshadow

I'm sure you all recognise this palette from my
other makeup tutorials. I got it for Christmas last year and the reason I like
using it so much is because it's got all the colours that I love in one palette
:)
I'm not sure if they still sell this palette, but
you don't necessarily need this palette to achieve this make up look, just
as long as you have the similar sort of colours :)
- As always, I
like to start with a lighter shade as my base :) Keeping that in mind, I
start with the shade which I have labelled as number 1. This is plain
white with a hint of shimmer, and I apply this all over my eye-lid but
taking no notice of the brow bone.
- Secondly, I
use the shade which is labelled number 2 for my brow bone to just give the
eyebrows a little lift.
- Heading
towards a slightly darker shade, I mix the two 3's together. The one on
the left is a similar to the colour of champagne whereas the one
on the left is orangey, they
both engage in a hint of shimmer. I apply these just above my top lash
line.
- We are now
getting slightly darker by using the shade of black which is located on
the bottom right corner of the palette if you can't see I have labelled it
number 4. I use this shade along the crease of the eye, adding a bit of
smokiness to the look. During the application, don't use too much of the
black as you don't want it too dark, remember, we are gradually turning
the look from light to dark.
- Last but not
least for the eyeshadow, I use the colour that I have called Hot Chocolate
:P which is located on the top right corner of the palette. I have
labelled this number 5. I use this for the outer corner of my eye just
darkening the eyes up much more.
• Eyeliner
•
The next step for the eyes is of course eyeliner. I
have chosen an eyeliner which is part of this makeup palette, but like I said
before, you don't need the required eyeliner to achieve this part of the makeup
look, just a similar colour :)
•
I start with the black shade of eyeliner pencil on
my upper lash line 3 quarters into the inner corner of the eye, but all the way
out, ending it with a small flick creating a winged eyeliner. I also use it
along my waterline to just darken the eyes up a tweak.
Using the white shade, I use this in the inner
corner of my upper lash line to brighten up this area.
The black eyeliner is more of a grey as it's really
not that dark as you may think it is by looking at the two pictures above which
is quite useful to have in your makeup bag just in case you want to use black
eyeliner but you don't want one that's too dark.
• Mascara •
•
Last but not least of the eye
makeup is of course mascara.
For this look I have used as you
can see, the Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express.
I apply this to my top lashes
making them full of volume and giving them a bit of length.
Here is what your eyes should now
look like :)
•
• Lips •
•
•
To start with, I used this lip butter
in the flavour 'Coconut' from the Body Shop to moisturise the lips. It also
tastes really good. It also stays on for quite a while. Sometimes it doesn't
last as long if you find it a bit too delicious.. Oops...
•
•
Last but not least, the look is never fully
complete until you apply lipstick :)
I've just dabbed this red lipstick from Rimmel London '500' 'Diva Red' :)
Here is the final look once again :)
And that is it :) you have come to the end of
another beauty related blog post.
I think it's been quite a while since I've done a
makeup tutorial, so I hope you enjoyed this one:)
I hope you have a wonderful New Year, celebrating
another year! I hope this one brings you good things <3
See you later alligator
