Hi Darlings,
How has your Sunday been? I've had the ultimate lazy day, watching TV programmes that I've not had chance to this week, whilst snacking on White Cadbury Fingers.
Last night my family came up to Leeds for a pre-Christmas meal, and we had a wonderful evening; Alex cooked some beautiful food, and everyone had a great time - it's made me all the more excited for Christmas Day!
I've been using the same makeup every day in the last week almost, with perhaps a different lip depending on what I was wearing. It's just been so much quicker to grab my makeup bag and throw my face on with all the products that are to hand - which is exactly what I've needed to do. While I love them and they undoubtedly work for me, it's time to shake things up a bit this week, and this is what I came up with:
You might recognise this from the Dream Matte Mousse advert, and while I'm of the opinion that it's potentially one of the worst foundations on the high street, what I do particularly like is the softness of the lips, and the highlighting of the cupids bow. I also like how the blush is very subtle and matches the lips very closely.
This is my absolute favourite look. I really go on for the light eyes and the red lips. I may be re-creating this in the next couple of days.
I love the heavy crease contouring and soft fluttery eyelashes. I also particularly like the high gloss black nails.
Let me know if you have any other inspiration for me, I love to try new looks!
Lea

I'm currently loving a touch of Cranberry mixed with dark brown on the crease, I think it looks gorgeous.

It's a really pretty look isn't it? I have a real thing for that kind of shade on the lips.
