Day 14
Hey, so one of my favourite parts about this
season is the fact that you can change your makeup but you also have to deal
with a few winter problems beauty-wise, so I thought that I would share with
you my beauty essentials for winter:
Red Lipstick – so
I feel like this is the one that goes without saying, but on Christmas day when
you think your so excited that you might explode then if you are reaching for a
purple, a nude, an orange, a dark colour or anything other than red, I’m sorry
to say this but you are not 100%, on Christmas day you need to be wearing a
nice red lipstick, that is just the way I roll but realistically you can wear
any colour you want.
Glittery Eyeshadow
– so who doesn’t love a bit of glittery eyeshadow at any time of the year but
at Christmas I put the matte shadows away so that I can go full on with the
glitters, this year I have been getting a bit more adventurous with the darker
colours and brighter colours as well for example I really have been loving
wearing a red glitter eyeshadow but I just feel that at Christmas you can be
way more adventurous with your makeup which I love.
A popping pink
blusher – so in winter you go outside you get really cold and I don’t know
about you but I get the pinkest cheeks in the world, and sometimes it even
shows through my makeup so I feel like this Christmas I am just going to
embrace that about me and I am going to wear a little more blusher than usual
to really make those cheeks pop and to be honest I think it also makes you look
that little bit more Christmassy.
Highlighter – so
again I feel like although this is the season of giving presents, being joyful
and kindness but it is also in my opinion, the season of glitter and sparkle
and just sparkles and bright lights so I feel this is the time of the year wear
you can really go a little more overboard on the highlighter so I can go a bit
overboard but you would just not be ready for a Christmas party if you didn’t
have a bit of glittery shimmer on those cheekbones.
More mascara – so
you will notice this theme of me basically just saying that you need more of
everything but at Christmas I feel a lot more tired and I look a lot more run
down so I think that as a result of this, it is more important to open your
eyes up a bit more so I think applying more mascara will really help with that
or even applying fake lashes but I just thinks that it really brightens the
face up a lot more and helps you look more awake.
Shimmer in general
– so by this I mean that at Christmas you skin just doesn’t look as bright and
looks a little less radiant so when I do my makeup at Christmas I try to use
products which try to help make your face look more radiant and glowing and
healthier in general which I think is harder to achieve in the winter so I tend
to go a bit over board with the shimmer but I feel like at this time of year,
you can do that.
Moisturising and
long lasting lipstick – so we all know at Christmas everyone has dry chapped
lips so it makes my lips feel a lot better when my lipstick is more
moisturising than usual because you can stand having dry lips at Christmas, I
also love wearing a longer lasting lipstick because let’s face it at Christmas
you do a lot of eating and drinking so my lipstick usually wears of but having
it last longer is just so much better in practice.
I hope you enjoyed this and let me know what
your winter beauty essentials are. Let me know of anything you would like me to
talk about in another future post. That’s all for now,
