Blogmas 2017: Christmas/New Year make-up look

Blogmas 8: Driving Home for Christmas

Since recently I started wearing more make-up for special occasions. I usually go for neutral make-up possibly with bold darker lips. Although I did experiment a bit with colors on my eyes (which you can see in this post about Makeup Revolution Acid brights palette and which you'll see in one post next year), it's easier for me to do neutral eye make-up and then finish the look with basically any lipstick I want.

Today I created a make-up look that is perfect for a Christmas lunch with family, then you can build it up for night out or New Year's Eve.

I'll start with the basics:

• primer: Essence Fresh and fit awake primer
• foundation: L'Oreal 24-matte #11 vanilla (on T-zone) and Revlon Colorstay for combination/oily skin #250 fresh beige
• setting powder: Rimmel Stay Matte #004 sandstorm
• bronzer: Essence Lights of orient #01 sunkissed beauty
• highlighter: Catrice Prime and fine contouring palette (review here) #010 ashy radiance
• contour: Catrice Prime and fine contouring palette (review here) #010 ashy radiance

Now onto the eyes:

• eyeshadow base: Catrice  Liquid camouflage cconcealer #020 light beige
• setting powder for eyeshadow base: Essence mono eyeshadow #15 hazel me not!
• palette: Essence All about Nudes (review here) #02 nudes
• liquid eyeshadow: Essence Metal shock eyeshadow (review here) #02 stars & stories
• brown eyeliner: Essence Longlasting eye pencil (review here) #02 hot chocolate
• bronze eyeliner: Essence Longlasting eye pencil (review here) #19 hot scorch
• white eyeliner: Essence Gel eye pencil waterproof (review here) #07 cloudy white
• black eyeliner: Essence Liquid ink waterproof eyeliner
• gold eyeliner: Essence (some limited collection item)
• inner corner highlighter: Essence Liquid ink eyeliner #06 light white
• inner corner powder highlighter: NYX mono eyeshadow #PS12 Tin

Lastly, lips:

• lip liner: Essence Longlasting lipliner #01 ready for red
• lipstick: Essence Vibrant shock lip paint (review here) #02 bloody mary

With every new picture, I just added few more details.
First one is just simple one with just brown eyeshadows and brown eyeliner on the top which is smudged and bronze eyeliner on the bottom to make this look a bit more festive. First look is perfect for day time.
For the second one I added black eyeliner and a bit of dark cranberry eyeshadow over that bronze one I had in the first look. Of course, my eyeliner isn't symmetrical. It never is.
Last one has only gold eyeliner outlining the black one. I also added white eyeliner in my lower waterline. I also extended black eyeliner in the inner corned. I made the inner corner highlight stronger by adding white eyeliner there.
To all this I put on the bronzer and a bit of contour and, of course, red lipstick. It's not a holiday look without red lipstick.

Note: You can see the full look on my Twitter page :)

Do you like this one? It's pretty simple, but very effective.
