Getting ready on Christmas Day…..sparkly makeup, my new mirror with lights and a glass of bubbles and I’m happy 🙂
I never really know what I’m going to do until I’m applying my makeup but for Christmas I usually try to incorporate glitter or glittery eyeshadows and a bold lip.
Base
- Diorskin Forever and Ever wear primer
- Diorskin Forever foundation in 010 – applied with Beauty Blender
- Diorblush Light & Contour – blended with Beauty Blender
- Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (Dim light, Incandescent light & Radiant light)
Eyes
- NYX eye shadow base in White
- Mac pigment powder in Vanilla on lid – applied with a brush sprayed with Mac Fix +
- Mac pigment powder in Blue/Brown – applied with a fluffy blending brush into the crease and outer corner of my eye
- Urban Decay Razor Sharp Eyeliner in Perversion
- Too Faced Glitter Glue
- Makeup Forever Glitter – there’s no shade written on the pot but I think it is Pink Multicoloured
- Jelly Pong Pong Waterliner
- Benefit Gimme Brow
- Estee Lauder Eye Lash Primer
- Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara
Cheeks
- Clinique Chubby Stick in Rhubarb (before applying setting powder)
- Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Rose
Lips
- Clinique Liquid Lip Matte in Ripe Pop
I think that’s everything! I hadn’t used the Glitter and Glitter Glue before and to be honest, I had only applied it in a line above my eyeliner just to test it out and within a few hours, the glitter was just generally on my lid. I have previously used Mac Mixing Medium, which I know works brilliantly so I might buy that again.
As you can see from the photos below, the blue/brown pigment by Mac used on a fluffy blending brush blends out perfectly. It is an interesting colour to experiment with because blended out like this gives a warm shimmery reddish/brown colour yet if applied wet as you would see in my blog #MAKEUPMUSTHAVESCHALLENGE DAY 20 on the 2nd picture, it is completely different.
I tried a few different earrings too and ended up wearing my new Stella & Dot climbers in black 🙂
Merry Christmas!

Cheers! 🙂

Love the make-up, looks fab! Do you recommend the Laura Mercier powder? I just cant decide whether to get it or not! xx

Thank you! Yes the LM powder is fab. My personal favourite is NARS translucent crystal powder but if you’re not careful you can end up with flashback. It’s so soft though it’s amazing. The LM one is my next fave though so I’d still recommend it and as it is a coloured translucent powder instead of white there’s no flashback. If you can get to a NARS counter ask them to try it on you. Same with LM. Hope that helps! Xx
