Party make-up try out

DSC_5106DSC_5113

I wore this make-up look at a Christmas party in December, but I didn’t have time to take outfit and make-up pictures on the night of the party so these pictures are from the weekend before when I tried out the look I wanted to wear:)

Some e.l.f.

I still have two more Christmas presents to show you and one of them is this e.l.f. Studio blusher in the colour Mellow Mauve. I have one more Studio blusher, but I rarely use it, because there’s so much glitter in it, but that’s not the case with this one. It looks like it has a bit of shimmer in it, but it doesn’t really show up on the skin, and I really like the colour as well. The eye shadow brush and the eyelid primer are two recent purchases from the cheapest e.l.f. line. So far I’m really liking the brush; it’s great for placing eye shadow on the lid. I won’t say much about the eyelid primer just yet, because I’m going to make a separate post with a comparison of two affordable eyelid primers (this e.l.f. one being one of them), so stay tuned for that:)

Go-to bronze eye

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is my go-to eye make-up at the moment and I love to pair it with either a berry lip (as in this picture) or a deep red lip.

Deep bronze

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This look is from December, but I’m still really into bronze/golden eye make-up; especially paired with a deep lip.

Another pop

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to experiment with black and an orange/red/brown shadow, and I really like how it turned out. And of course I had to match my lips to the skirt I was wearing.

First MAC eye shadow

DSC_5371DSC_5368

I got my first MAC eye shadow for Christmas (from my youngest sister), and I absolutely love it. Technically, it’s not my first MAC eye shadow, because I already have the MAC Keepsakes Plum Eyes eye shadow palette, but this is my first MAC shadow in the round pan from the permanent collection. It is in the colour Cranberry, and on the MAC webpage it’s described as a red-plum with pink shimmer, but in real life it’s more of a shimmery bordeaux colour (and not plum). It’s a gorgeous colour and I’ll be posting a look wearing it some other time. I bought the palette in one of my local MAC stores a few days ago, and I can’t wait to add more gorgeous shadows to it.

Matching purple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had to do a shimmery purple eye look to go with the T-shirt, and this is what I came up with.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shade: Chino) + Sleek Vintage Romance eye shadow palette (shade: Bliss in Barcelona) + MAC Keepsakes Plum Eyes eye shadow palette (shade: Shadowy Lady) + Stila In the Light eye shadow palette (shade: Kitten) + Stila All Over Shimmer Duo highlighter (lightest shade on browbone), mascara – Maybelline The Rocket Volum’ Express, eyeliner – MUA Intense Colour eyeliner in Snow White. Lips: Revlon Colourburst Balm Stain in 001 Honey)

Throw on the velvet

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You’re probably tired of seeing that Revlon Lipbutter in Red Velvet, but I just love it. It’s such an easy product to just throw on and you don’t need to pay too much attention to the fact that you’re wearing a red lip.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Undressed eye shadow palette (shades: 5 + 6 + 9) + MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shade: Unwrap), mascara – Maybelline The Rocket Volum’ Express, eyeliner – MUA Intense Colour eyeliner in Snow White. Lips: Revlon Colorburst Lipbutter in 040 Red Velvet)

Sparks of Romance

DSC_5291DSC_5293

I got a lot of great presents for Christmas and one of them was this MAC Heirloom Mix lipstick in the colour Sparks of Romance. I already got one of the Heirloom Mix lipsticks which I absolutely love; I actually think it’s my new favourite lipstick. This one is gorgeous as well. It’s a very classic red, but with a multi-coloured shimmer running through it. It has a matte finish which makes it really unique. I’m wearing it here.
