Christmas party makeup look // Christmas Series




Hello guys and welcome to my penultimate Christmas series post! P.S. I totally googled that word and I have no idea if that is correct or not. Basically it's the one before the last post in my christmas series.

Today I wasn't prepared to do any post because I didn't know what exactly to write about but then I thought that I actually know what exact makeup I'm going to wear at the Christmas party with my relatives so I thought it'd be fun to share it with you too.

Ofcourse you should start off with moisturising. I didn't do it a few months back but then one time I tried and makeup literally looked so much better and it felt a lot better on my skin too.
Then first step it to apply foundation, I'm still true to my Rimmel wake me up. 
Step 2 is to use concealer, Bourjois healthy mix kinda also works as a highlighter for me so I always skip this step but if yours doesn't then I recommend for you to do the highlighting too. 
Then put on some blush, I've been loving the Bourjois cream blush in 02 lately, it's a nice peachy colour and it looks just like a natural glow on your cheeks. 
Step 4 is an important one because obviousely you're gonna take a lot of pictures at the party and you don't want your skin to look overly glowy. Rimmel stay matte powder is perfect for keeping your oily skin under control.
Okay, we're gonna move on to eyes and lips. 
I think Maybelline color tattoo in metallic pomegrante is a gorgeous colour for autumn/winter time. Apply it to the outer corner of your eye and also in the crease but leave the middle part of your lid untouched. Belnd a little bit with your fingers.
Then I used Misslyn quard in chocolate truffle, I took the lightest shade and applied it to the mid part of my lid. Once it's done, blend the two eyeshadows out with a fluffy brush to not leave any harsh edges.
Step 7 is optional but I took this matte brown eyeshadow and put it on my lower lash line to give some depth to my eyes.
Finish off the eye look by curling your lashes and applying mascara, I love the Maybelline rocket one. I think mascara is the thing that really brings the whole look together.
Last step is to put on some nice lipstick. Since the eyes are quite dark I took more of a nude colour. Bourjois lipstick in rose innocence looks really nice, it's a pinky nude colour and at first I thought of using some lipgloss too but I think i prefer a matte lip for this look a little more.

So that's it for this post, I think it was my first makeup tutorial kind of post on my blog. I hope you liked it and maybe got some inspiration too :)


Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful day!
