Christmas Day Makeup

It´s Christmas Eve!

Even though I won´t be heading out tonight, I´ll try to put a bit effort into my makeup, I might not go for a full face tonight, but I definitely will give my best tomorrow for Christmas Day and that´s what I´ll be wearing...

FACE

For prepping my skin, hiding my pores and making my foundation stay on as long as possible I reeach for one of my newest favourites, the Monuskin BB Cream Illuminating Primer (37€). I found it behind one of the doors of my Look Fantastic Beauty Advent Calendar and ever since I first tried, I´ve fallen head over heels with it. My skin isn´t as shiny throughout the day, it just looks flawless and my foundation stays exactly where it should for the whole day. Speaking of foundation, also a newer addition and favourite is the L´Oreal Perfect Match Foundation in the shade 2 Rose Vanilla (11€). It is the perfect shade, has a buildable medium coverage, doesn´t look nor feel cakey at all and I´m really suprised by how much I love it, considering that it is a drugstore foundation.

I don´t reach for concealer at all recently, as I find a thin layer of foundation on my under-eye area is enough to cover any redness or dullness.

To set my whole face I still prefer the MAC MSF in Light Plus (33€), together with the Monuskin Primer and the L´Oreal Foundaton it makes my skin look absolutely amazing. This powder is so lightweight that you can barely see it, I´ll definitely repurchase it as it has become one of my staples in my makeup drawer.

EYES

One product that I can´t imagine not using anymore is the Smashbox BrowTech Pencil in Brunette (26€). Perfect brows in an instant, is the perfect description for it. It has the perfect shape, and a waxy really pigmented texture to really give you the ultimate brows.

For eyemakeup I can´t think of a better look than a soft broncey look for christmas.

I´m not 100% how it will look in the end, but the Urban Decay Naked 2 (50€) offers lots of options.

I´m all about long clumpy lashes right now and to achieve that I use two mascaras. The first one is the Maybelline LashSensational (9€) for thickness and the Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Mascara (9€) for length, and the wet clumpy finish.

LIPS

This year I will definitely go for a berry lip.

Since finding how awesome NYX is in the berry lip shades I just knew that christmas was the perfect opportunity to go for it.

I´m debating whether to go for the NYX Full Throttle in Locked (8€) or the NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Toasted Marshmallow (8€). They are kinda similar to each other, the one is just more matte and the butter gloss is, just as the name says, really glossy.

The line them I have the Astor Perfect Stay Lipliner (6€). It would fit for both lip options, glides on easily and doesn´t feel weirdly sticky like some lipliners do.

FINISHING TOUCHES

It´s winter so I´m pale af, sadly haha, to change that fact I want to reach for a bronzer or a brown blush. One of my favourite at the moment, is the Inika Loose Mineral Blush in Blossom Nude (26€). It´s also one of the things I have found in my LF Beauty Advent Calendar. I was actually very suprised by the pigmentation and staying power, as I´ve never heard anyone talk about this brand, which will hopefully change as it´s just amazing!

Now that I put some live into my face, all that I still need is a lovely glow.

For that I came back to one of my first highligthers, the KIKO Radiant Touch Stick Highlighter in Gold (12€). It´s not a popping highlighter but still adds a nice glow to your face, feels velvety soft when applying it and would also be perfect for an everyday use.
