Christmas FOTD! // 2015

So I thought I'd share my Christmas makeup look with you all today, as I haven't done one since spring and I've gathered a lot of new products since then!

I start with my concealer and then build up - I always apply makeup to my face first, and then do my eyebrows, eyes and lips. Whether you are going to a Christmas party, or just want to make an effort for Christmas day, this is an essential makeup look.


I've found that the foundation I use is a perfect base - the No7 foundation I use in the shade 'cool vanilla' is a perfect matte foundation, yet it has a nice shine to it. I've found that the eyebrow kit by Seventeen provides strong eyebrows, without being too over the top - I've been complimented by friends on my brows saying they are 'on fleek'! There is a step by step guide inside and for just over £5, it's a bargain and lasts well.

This is the finished look! :)

Gold eyes and red lips are definitely my favourite combination, and with the Christmas spirit, they work perfectly! I can't use powder eye shadows as my eyes react really badly to them and puff up, but this works perfectly as a base. For red lips, I use a lip liner first (BarryM) and then use my Revlon red lipstick to fill in. It stays the entire day and I love it!
