Blogmas Day seventeen - A festive makeup look



I feel like it's been such a long time since I have done a makeup look on my blog so today I thought I would share with you a makeup look I filmed last week. 

So starting off I used Benefit professional which is my favourite for when I'm doing a high coverage base as it does an amazing job at reducing the visibility of the pores. Foundation wise the Clinique Beyond perfecting foundation has the most amazing coverage, which is perfect for a full glam makeup look. Even though it is super high coverage I find it very comfortable on my dry skin. Moving onto concealer the Clarins instant concealer is incredible, it is so light weight but so ridiculously high coverage. I would have to say this is probably my favourite concealer of all time so if you haven't given it a go then you need too! 



Moving onto the cheeks I used my old trusty Nars laguna bronzer, this is just the perfect shade for me and I love the slight glow it leaves on my skin. Highlight wise I used a little bit of the Barry M Liquid chrome drops in Precious pearl which is a stunning white highlight with a pink reflect. I then topped that with a little bit of Urban Decay Afterglow highlight in Sin which is a beautiful champagne. Finally for the cheeks I used a little bit of Urban decay Afterglow blush in Fetish which for me is the most perfect everyday neutral pink, which is what I wanted as the eyes are pretty heavy. 
For my brows, of course I used Anastasia dip brow. If you follow me on any of my social media you will probably already know how much I love this stuff. For reference I use medium brown which is the perfect slightly ashy toned deep brown. 


For the eyes I started off with the Essence metal shock eyeshadow in Stars and stories which is the most beautiful rose gold shade which is just perfect for the Christmas season. I then popped a little bit of princess and ladyship into the crease just to add some depth and definition. Then for mascara I used the Urban decay Troublemaker mascara* just to add some length to the lashes and then I applied the Peaches and cream number 19 lashes* which are super beautiful and so fluttery. 

Finally for this look I used Mac Strip down lip liner to line the lips, this is a really lovely orange toned very pale nude making it perfect for under pretty much any lipstick. I then topped that off with Jeffree star Human nature, this is from the new Christmas collection and is the most stunning purple toned nude shade which I just felt like matched perfectly with the purple tones on the eyes.
