Xmas/New Year Makeup Matte Eyes & MAC Rebel Lip

Hi lovelies,

Was getting a bit bored of having glitter all over my face & decided to do a matte look. Was also challenged on twitter to come up with a look using MAC Rebel Lipstick & here's what I did!

You can see the video here, but here's a quick break down of what I did...

Skin - MUFE HD Foundation, mixed with a smidge of MAC Face & Body in white, to lighten it slightly. Concealed under the eyes with MAC NW20 Select Cover Up.

Eyes - covered from lashes to brow with Brulee. Created an outer V & kept the crease super dark and defined (don't blend too much) using MAC Carbon. Defined the lashes with a very thin line of Clinique black gel liner. Loads of black mascara on top lashes only.

Brows - defined using Shu Uemura brow pencil, then darkened with MAC Carbon.

Cheeks - Illmasqua Nymph Blush & Chanel Bronze Universel to contour.

Lips - MAC Rebel Lipstick!

hope you like it!

Today's FOTD

Hi there,

feeling inspired by yesterday's flash of colour, I decided to develop it a bit further today and add some E/S and blue mascara. The purple E/S I used was from my Sleek Palette 'Original' and even though it looks quite dark in the tray, it actually just gave a nice wash of pastelly lilac across my lid. I'm sure the colour would be build-able though, if required.

In addition to the Sleek E/S, I used Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Cobalt Blue and 17 Mascara 'Va Va Voom' in 'Electric Blue'. Lashes were curled with Shu Uemura curlers and eyebrow finished with Shu Uemura eyebrow pencil.

I was a bit worried that it would look a bit 80's but it seems to have turned out ok!
