Winter Party Look

On the 17th I had my school party/dance and I had a few tries to get my makeup looking how I wanted so I thought I would share my look. I also think it would look perfect for new year!

First off my dress is a tight black dress with a netting over skirt which is from topshop and it was in the sale so it was only £18 instead of £30! Unfortunately it is not for sale anymore but any black dress goes with this look. For the shoes I wore were just plain black heel but they were very small heels and I had them forever so I don't think you can get them anymore. As it is cold at the moment in Scotland I wore a black leather jacket on the way to and back from the dance. I also wore a pair of skin coloured tights to keep my legs warm.

For my make up I started off by putting on my Pink Grapefruit Body Butter from the Body Shop to moisturize by skin. Then I used the L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation which is in the shade 100 which has a very light coverage. I used the Real Techniques buffing brush to blend it in. Then for under my eyes and on my blemished I used the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade 1 Fair and blended it in with my fingers. I then used my Stay Matte powder by Rimmel London in the shade 001 Transparent and I used my Real Techniques Powder Brush to put it on. Next I put on my MAC powder blush in the shade Fleur Power with the Blush Brush by Real Techniques. I then did my eye makeup, the mascara I used was the Falsies Volume Express by Maybelline. For eye shadow I used my Rimmel London Trio Eye Shadow in the shade 621 Orion but I only used the white colour over my lid using the Real Techniques Detailer Brush. Lastly on my lips I first put on my EOS lipbalm and then applied my Kate Lipstick in the shade 107 by Rimmel London which completed the makeup look!

And I kept my hair simple by taking the top section and tying it back and curling the part that's in the hair bobble.

Winter Lipsticks

In winter I love to wear dark red lipsticks. So I thought I would share some of my favourite lipsticks to use in the colder winter months!

To start of with is my all time favourite red lipsticks which is Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick in the shade 107 which is so amazing and its only £5.49. It does dry out my lips so I like to use my eos lip balm before putting it on but you can use any type of lip balm and I'm sure it will work just as well to make it not dry your lips out. It is a deep pinkie red colour which looks so nice.

The next lipstick is my first ever red lipstick which is the Rimmel - Kate Lasting Finish  Lipstick in the shade 01. It a deep red with a slight shimmer but not an overpowering amount. It is the same as the the last lipstick because there both are drying so its best to use a lip balm. It is also £5.49 which is a really good price.

The third lipstick is my newest purchase it is my MAC lipstick in the shade Dare You. It is a deep red I see it as a mix of the first two lipsticks as it has a slight shimmer but it comes off as matte which I love about it. It's really creamy and moisturizing so I don't usually use a lip balm. I think it looks so amazing but it is a high end lipstick so it it £15 but that's not as bad a price as most high end lipstick!

The last lipstick is another Rimmel lipstick which is the Colour Rush Balm in the shade Rumour Has It. I love the Rimmel lipstick as you may be able to tell because 3/4 on this blog post are from Rimmel! This lipstick has a medium shine gloss which I think would look great for Christmas. It is a pink/red colour but there are so many great colours in the collection to choose from so I really love that and it's only £5.99 which is amazing for what you are getting!
