It's getting super close to Christmas now that I thought with only just over a week to go until Christmas day I would share my christmassy related makeup with you all which is glittery and glamorous and I thought it was perfect for christmas parties!
So I used all the products below and the lipstick from the second picture to create a christmas party makeup look, sadly I didn't have time to recreate it and show you pictures of the makeup but nonetheless I will still talk you through what I used.
So all the Makeup in this top picture I used and will list them all so you can find them yourselves if you want a sneaky peek at them!
Palette - Naked Smoky Palette By Urban Decay
Blush - Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Seductive Pink
Bronzer and Highlighter - Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit in Medium
Foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Shade 52
Mascara - Maybelline Lash Sensational in Black
Highlighting Concealer - YSL Touche Eclat concealer
I first used the Bourjois Foundation, usually I use a primer but I used a moisturiser beforehand which helped the makeup to stay on well anyway, so that wasn't a necessary step for me but feel free to use one if recreating this makeup!
So I just used a pump and a half and dotted it around my face and then blended until it looked seamless and the were no streaks! I then added the highlighting concealer from YSL, which is such a beautiful product and I then put a triangle shape around the bottom of my eyes and then blended in with a buffing brush but more patting it in to help cover dark circles I had that day!
Now when I did this I was using glittery eye shadows from the palette so I should have really left the concealer until after unless there was too much fallout from the smoky shadows I used. But it worked out fine as I used a damp eye brush to apply the glitter meaning there was hardly any fallout, Bonus! But if you don't have a setting spray to wet your brush, I would leave the concealing step until eye makeup is applied!
I then started with the pink eye shadow second from the right side which is called 'Combust' I just patted this onto the lid making sure I didn't go up past the crease. I then used the shade 'Whiskey' Which is the brown shade right next to the pink I just used, and I just put this in my crease but tried to keep a crisp line in line with the end of my eyebrow and the corner of my eye so I looked a bit winged out so I did this on the outer v too, and this created a lovely dramatic brown eye, I then added the champagne-y pink colour in 'High' onto my lid right on top of where I had placed the 'Combust' shade. So then the look was completed apart from inner corner highlight which I then added using the colour 'Thirteen' which is the last shade to right in the palette. As the Eye Look was quite dramatic I wanted my brows to look a bit fuller and bigger so I have quite dark blonde brows but I took the brown colour and put the tiniest amount through my brows to keep them natural and just give them a bit more colour.
I then added the Contour to my cheeks using the Seventeen Contour Kit I used the bronzing shade to contour, and then I went to use the Max Factor Blush just above my cheek bone level slightly and then I used the highlighter from the Seventeen Kit just above my bronzer and blush to give me that party glow!
I then added lots of coats of my favourite mascara which is the Maybelline Lash Sensational!
I then used this gorgeous lipstick from Topshop Called 'The Damned' It is a gorgeous berry purple colour on the lips but can be built up to look as dramatic in the Bullet!
So that was everything I used to create a glowing christmas party makeup look!
