DAY 11

when you think holiday makeup you tend to think golds and reds, which is also what i tend to go for and what i will be rocking this Christmas (surprise surprise)

considering its always pretty warm on Christmas day here, i want to go for a dewy, glowy look this year rather then a matte finish which is my usual go to. i am going to achieve this by using my usual Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, i know what you are thinking- how can i make that dewy. but i have been applying a moisturiser and an illuminating primer beforehand then applying the foundation with a damp beauty blender before the primer dries too much and TRUST ME i have never looked so dewy.

for my eyes this year i am going to use my trusty Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette and the Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Edition Creme Shadow in yellow gold. i will just do a brown smokey eye and cut the crease using my MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre then top that with the Kylie creme shadow.


does anyone else find picking a lip colour the hardest part of doing your makeup? i mean i have a colour worked out but i just need to pick which shade of red. at the moment its a toss up between Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Edition lip kit in Merry or MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo. the biggest dilemma though is knowing that you will be eating and more than likely its going to just bleed everywhere (how do people eat and spend a whole day in red lipstick without it looking terrible?!)

contour and highlight will more than likely be my standard Benefit Hoola Bronzer, MAC bronzer in refined golden and MAC Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle.

as for brows, i will stick with my normal Anastasia beverly hills routine.
i have learnt (the hard way) that its best not to try anything new and experiment on days when you have places to be/busy days because more than likely they won't work for you.

this is probably the worst makeup post ever for you to get an idea of my makeup look for Christmas but i cant for the life of me take a nice picture of my finished face hahaha.
