Just a winters tale...

Hello bloggers.
Today it has been snowing so bad here that buses stopped running and nearly all the schools were shut.
So to entertain you whilst it is cold out I thought I would show you my winter look.
Now I wore this make up on Saturday whilst out with my friend and she told me that it was perfect for the environment we was in. (Cold and snowy)

So I will recreate it for you.

Of course you would start with the base, which is concealer, foundation and powder but you know all that so I will get to the nitty gritty of the eyes, cheeks and lips.

The lips for this look have to be nude either beige or pink would work well with this look depending on what skin colour you have. Since I am the palest of white, pink is my choice with the nude lip colour. Then just add either a clear or similar light lip gloss to set your lip colour off.

Next is the cheeks. For this look you should try to go for stain rather then block colour. Has it gives more of a colour sheen. A nice pink works well but you can always go for a coral base is pink is not suited to your skin.
Then for the eyes. I used a white glitter under the arch of the eyebrow and in the corner of the eye. Then placed a ice blue colour just after the white in the corner of the eye. Then to stop it looking block like. I used a baby pink eyeshadow to soften the tone and help create the ice effect look.

I then finished with lashings of black mascara, a sweep of liquid eyeliner and then placed some multi coloured glitter gel on the bottom eyelashes to give them a twinkle.

This is the finished article.

This look is quite easy to achieve but you can always alter the colours and the products to create your own winter look.

Products used are the urban decay palette in Uzi, kiddie pool and grifter.
Barry M liquid eyeliner in black
Topshop liquid lip and cheek stain in bitten berry
Avon sparkle lash and eyeliner
Lancome juicy tube in pink sparkle
and Models own lipstick in baby pink.
