Autumnal Christmas Party Makeup

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!

High End Products I Would Repurchase

So Today is a very exciting post for all you high end makeup lovers! 

I will be showing you all the products I think are amazing which are that little more expensive and luxury than most drugstore products! But this post is actually not including lipsticks as I have done so many posts with lipsticks lately so hold on for that one which I will do soon!

So I will firstly talk about them in the order I would apply them so essentially it'll be like a full face but without mascara/powder etc. 

So the lovely blue tube at the back is the PoreFessional By Benefit and it's one thing I don't think I could change in my makeup as I use it so much and nothing has replaced it so far. It just smooths my pores and makes them less visible and also is great on my nose which can get a little dry and makeup doesn't apply too well to it but this is my makeup Life Saver!

The next product is my favourite high end foundation I have ever tried! The Estee Lauder Double wear just makes my face look flawless, which I need sometimes with quite blemish prone skin! But I just find nothing will last as long when it's on my face it literally won't move unless I take it off with micellar water and a cotton pad so it's just amazing but for the price tag I'm glad it is!

Mac Pro long wear concealer used to be something I actually didn't like so much, but I think because of the smell of the Mac concealers and foundations I absoloutley hated! But under my eyes the concealer covers any dark circles and doesn't look cakey on me and I literally dreamed about finding a concealer that didn't go cakey for so long! So this is super good for under eyes and is just a lovely product to use.

Next we have two Benefit products, I have Hoola Bronzer and Rocketeur Blush and I adore them both but together they just create a match made in heaven! 

Hoola is a gorgeous bronzer which isn't too orangey it's the perfect mix in between it being brown and orange and just looks so natural as it's matte and doesn't have shimmer in it and I find a matte bronzer is the best kind of bronzer for faking those cheekbones as it doesn't too too fake and blends easily into the skin.

Now Rockateur is one of my long term favourites as I had it in a miniature size a long with about six other blushes and the bronzer in a mini christmassy gift set from Benefit last year. Which I am so happy I got or I wouldn't have been able to try this product and I am now obsessed and if I want a nice glowy rose gold blush which isn't too dark or too light it blends so nicely with the hoola bronzer on my face and just creates the most lovely natural glowing bronze-y with a hint of blush look! 

Here are the two Benefit products and what they look like: Rockateur blush on the left and Hoola Bronzer on the Right

Small High End Makeup Haul

Bonjour m'lovelies (I know I'm not funny hahah) I have missed making blog posts for the last two and a half weeks, since going on holiday to a place in Spain called Murcia, It was such a lovely relaxing holiday and I was so sad to be coming home, but the ferry ride home was made a little bit better with a cheeky purchase of the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. I have been lusting over this makeup purchase for around two years now and I thought with it being a few pounds cheaper than usual it was a perfect time for the little splurge!
