Christmas Party Makeup

Tis’ the season for sparkly, fabulous makeup and I am making the most of it! I have a couple of Christmas meals/drinks out coming up soon and wanted to create an ultra-glam Christmas party makeup look. This look would also be perfect for Christmas Eve so I’ll definitely be wearing it for then too.

Base:

• As it’s practically winter now my skin has been really dry so before starting my makeup I moisturised my face using the Lush Vanishing Cream moisturiser.
• I then applied my go-to primer, the Guerlain L’Or Pure Radiance Primer, to ensure my skin is smooth, a little glowy and tacky before applying foundation.
• Next, with a Spectrum B02 brush, I applied the Becca Ultimate coverage 24 Hour Foundation.
• To brighten up my under eye area I used the Kat Von D Lock It Concealer. I am sadly running out of this and now have to scrape the edges.
• To set my face I used the RCMA No Colour Powder.
• For my brows, I used the Kat Von D Super Brow in the shade blonde and a Spectrum A14 brush.

Contour, Blush and Highlight:

• If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you must know by now that I always contour my face with the Kat Von D Shade and Light Palette. The colours are perfect and blend so easily. I use the palest contour shade to start and then define my cheekbones even more with the darkest shade.
• For blush, I decided to use the Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in the shade Video.
• Lastly, for my highlighter, I used the shade Luna from the ABH Aurora Palette as it would tie in nicely with the eye look.

Eyes:

• For show-stopping, glitterific, fabulous eyes I first primed with the Urban Decay Original Primer Potion.
• I then took the shade ‘Zohra’ from the Juvia’s Place Saharan II Palette which is a gorgeous deep berry tone and applied this to my crease, blending up to my brow bone.
• Next, I used the shade ‘Noir’ from the ABH Sultry palette which is a jet black to add some drama to my outer corners.
• Then I used the NYX Glitter Primer to carefully carve out a cut crease.
• I then took some silver NYX Glitter and patted this all over my lid until it was covered in silver sparkles.
• I lined my eyes with the Kat Von D Dagger liquid eyeliner and created some wings.
• Taking ‘Noir’ again I applied like to my lower lash line.
• To finish off I coated my lashes with the Benefit BADgal BANG Mascara.

Lips:

• For my lips, I used the ABH Liquid Lipstick in the shade ‘Phantom,’ which is a deep, metallic red.

Final Look:
