Blogmas Day 18 - My Christmas Day Makeup Routine

Hey beaut's!

It's blogmas day eighteen! I cant believe how close we are to Christmas now, it's only 7  sleeps eaakk! Today I thought I'd just do a quick post and share with you all what makeup look I'm going to be rocking this Christmas Day!

Base Makeup

For my base makeup I like to go for something dewy and highlighted with great coverage that will last the entire Christmas Day, and these four products above really help me to achieve that. Firstly I'll be popping on some of my MAC Strobe Cream to moisturise my skin and it leaves me with th most beautiful illuminated base to build upon. For foundation I'll be reaching for the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation, this has great coverage but is also lightweight and long lasting. To contour my skin I love using my NYX Sculpt and Highlight Face Duo, this is literally the quickest cream contour to use, I love it. Finally I go to town on highlighter using my Mary Lou-Manizer by the balm.

Eye Makeup

For the eyes it's got to be all about festive golds, coppers and bronze and of course a bit of glitz so I'll be reaching for my trusty Charlotte Tibury Dolce Vita Eyeshadow Palette and pairing it with my Collection Glam Crystals in Funk for some more added sparkle. I'll then finish my eyes with some dramatic winged liner using my Kat Von D Tattoo Liner and my Crazy Sexy Kohl by Soap and Glory to darken up my waterline, both last amazingly well. Then of course I'll add lashings of MAC's Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara, again this is super long lasting and catches every single lash for a full, fluttery look.

Lips

Lastly for the lips it's got to be a red lip hasn't it, I don't think I've ever not worn a red lipstick on Christmas Day and this year I'll be going for my trust MAC Viva Glam I and MUA's Red Drama Lip Liner, together these create the perfect, long lasting red lip.

What makeup look will you be rocking on Christmas Day beaut's! I'd love to know!

My Christmas Day Makeup Routine ♥

Hey beaut's!

Can you believe it's only 4 more sleeps until Christmas Day.... Say whatttttt!! So today I thought I'd just do a quick post and share with you all what makeup look I'm going to be rocking this Christmas Day, enjoy!

Face

For my base makeup I'm going to go for quite a dewy, highlighted look as this suits my dryer skin better. I'll be kicking things off with my L'Oreal Lumi Magique Primer which creates the most beautiful illuminated base to build upon, for foundation I've been loving the Collection Illuminating Touch Foundation recently so I'll be sticking with that to even everything out and add yet more glow and radiance to my skin. To contour and bronze slightly I'll be reaching for my beloved Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, I think this is possibly the best makeup item Barry M have ever made, the bronzer is gorgeous and warmed toned with no glitter or shimmers running through it and the contour shade has a cool, grey undertone which creates such a beautiful sculpted effect, arrhhh I love it so much. And lastly for my base makeup I'll be adding yet more highlighter he he, I'm obsessed with my Makeup Revolution Radiant Light in Exhale so that will just be going along my cheeks bones and down my nose. 

Eyes

For the eyes it's got to be all about festive golds and a bit of glitz for me so I'll be reaching for my trusty Urban Decay Naked Palette and popping on Half Baked on the lid, Smog on the outside corners and then a mix of Naked and Buck through the crease to blend everything out. I'll then finish of the eyes with some winged liner using my Soap & Glory Super cat Liquid Liner and a slick of Maybelline's Sensational Mascara. To add a touch more drama and extra sparkle I'll probably add a small amount of the Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liner in Funk to my inner corners and lower lash line and my KIKO Dark Tide Eyeliner on my waterline.

Lips

Lastly for the lips it's got to be a red lip hasn't it, I don't think I've ever not worn a red lipstick on Christmas Day and this year I'll be going for my Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in the shade 01, it's the most amazing true red shade that applies smoothly and stays on a super long time.

What makeup look will you be rocking on Christmas Day beaut's! I'd love to know!
