Festive Look | Smoky Eye & Messy Bun

This is a really simple but nice festive look!

I used my Naked original Palette to create the eye look with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Precision Micro Eyeliner and YSL Babydoll mascara. 

To create the eye look I primed my eyelid with a liquid concealer when doing my makeup. 

I started with the colour Virgin, spreading this all over my lid and in my inner corner. 

I then took the colour Hustle and put this in the outer corner and blended through my crease. 

I used the same Virgin colour to highlight under the brow bone. 

Under my eyes, along my bottom lash line I blended the colour Half Baked, a gorgeous golden colour that I love wearing over the festive period! 

This was really simple and took 2 minutes. I used the blending brush that comes with the naked 2 palette, it's a double ended brush, so I used the tight eyeshadow brush to pack on the virgin colour over my lid & the half baked on my lower lash line. I used the fluffy blending side to blend in the Hustle colour. 

For my lips I used the Kate by Rimmel lipstick in the colour 19. 

For my face I used a different foundation and this was the first time testing it and I think it is quite good! It has excellent coverage and goes on nicely, however it isn't very long wearing, I did notice it start to clump and smear in places throughout the day. It also collects in your expression lines after a while. However, for a flawless look for a few hours, it is amazing! 

I used the Seventeen Stay time liquid concealer under my eyes and to cover any blemishes. I blended this out with the Real Techniques Miracle Sponge (my favourite applicator and blender). 

I used a pressed powder by Rimmel, the 24 hour stay powder on my face to set my foundation and the Lord and Berry bronzer to bronze and lightly contour. 

For blush I used the YSL Rose blush and Benefit Highbeam cream highlighter on my cheeks. 

For my hair it was in need of a wash, so I brushed it out, and using my Remington curling wand, curled the front and back and then put up in a high pony tail. With the pony tail I curled it all and fixed in a messy bun with a hair band. I have very thick long hair, so that is how I got a big bun. I used hair grips/bobby bins to fix bits in place and create my desired look. I also pulled some strand down around my face and curled and brushed through. 

It was a very quick and simple look and really pretty. 

You can also change the lip colour or eyeshadow colours and the look will still be totally wearable and easy to do!
