FOTD

Hi,

I promised I would be doing more of these; I'm having a bit of a lull in terms of product reviews at the moment, both in terms of stuff to review & the energy to think about actually reviewing them, so am loving having more time to actually dedicate to FOTD makeup posts!

I didn't have time yesterday morning to A - do my makeup to any decent standard and B - photograph it before work, so this look is the makeup I did for filming 2 non-makeup related videos yesterday (which you can see here if you like!)

So, this was another very simple look - I've used...

FACE Atelier Foundation

MAC 'Cubic' Blush

MAC 'Carbon' E/S for brows

MAC 'Plumage' E/S in outer v

Dior Capture Totale powder

MAC 'Angel' lipstick

YSL Aquaresistant Mascara

New Year's Eve Party Look inspired by YSL in Vogue

Isn't this picture gorgeous? It's for the Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick by YSL and flicking through this month's Vogue, it was this ad that caught my eye. I've used it as inspiration for my latest vid which you can see here but think I'll also be checking out the YSL counter tomorrow and see if I can get my hands on some sexy red lips!

FOTD & FOTN!

FOTD...

I forgot to post this when I put the video up a few days ago. This was done using the Bee Luscious Garden Girl Palette (click here to get 15% off one for yourself!).

I'm looking forward to creating some more looks with this. The shadows are ridiculously pigmented and blend out forever (make sure you have a couple of clean 217s!).

FOTN...

Last night was a friend's 30th birthday and instead of partying it up in town, we all piled round to his house for sophisticated drinks (read cocktails, jaeger bombs, cigars & twister...). Where we live in Scotland, it can be difficult getting home from the city after a night out so a house party is usually a preferred option for bigger get-togethers. It also means you don't get sore feet from wearing sky-scraper heels, you don't need to worry about a jacket or bag - it's great!

It also means that my makeup tends to be more relaxed than if I was going to a club and I took the opportunity last night to go for my current favourite 'naturally polished' makeup that I've been sporting for a few weeks now.

For daytime, I would wear this but without the liner on the bottom waterline. For evening, run a black liner along the waterline and et-voila! Daytime to Evening in one easy step!

There will be a video tut on this look up in about 3 days, but for the time being here is a list of products used...

FACEAtelier Foundation in Ivory

MAC Plum Foolery blush from Hark The Heraldry Tartan Tales compact

YSL Metallic Colourama Palette as a highlight on brow bone and cheek bones

MAC Patina & Satin Taupe E/S

Avon Gel Shock Liner in Black

YSL Mascara

Dior Lip Glow Lipbalm (read about the drama to actually buy it here!)

Shu Uemura Eyebrow Pencil Hard Formula 6 (Seal Brown)

What makeup have you been loving recently? do you have a 'go to' look? And what do you think of the perm a week on? I think I'm getting better at styling it and I am loving the volume!

YSL 'aquaresistant' waterproof mascara

I seem to have a thing for blue, waterproof eye products at the moment!

If you coloured mascara, but struggle to find one with a payoff as bright as you expect, then you have got to check out this range... YSL Aquaresistant Waterproof Mascara

I bought this in Blue Lagoon and look at the colour! It's gorgeous! The brush is quite big and it's a brushy brush instead of a plasticy spiky brush which I really detest. The waterproofness is great - no smudging under the eyes and stays true all day.
