I know it’s a tad early, but Christmas is only a few weeks away now. I am a big fan of Santy season, I’ll take any excuse to talk about it here on Beautynook 🙂 I haven’t done a Get Ready With Me style video in a while so, I thought I would start the season off with a Festive Makeup GRWM 🙂

I reckon I can call it festive makeup because I added some Christmas music over it and used a bit of sparkle.

I did speed the video up, but I edited very little of it out, so this is my makeup pretty much from start to finish, just 4 times as fast. I was going out that night so I did apply a fair bit of slap, but sure we’re all makeup lovers here, right? 🙂

Some of the main products I used were:

Dermalogica Hydra Blur Primer.
L’Oreal Infallible 24 HR Matte (full review here). Mixed with the L’Oreal True Match Foundation.
Nyx Micro Brow Pencil (full review here).
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer with the Too Faced Born This Way one over top.
theBalm Put A Lid On It Eyeshadow Primer (review here).
WetnWild Dual Ended Contour Stick (Video on this here).
Too Faced Merry Macaron Palette.
Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette (Post on this here).
Fairydrops Scandal Queen Waterproof Mascara (Review here).
Hourglass Mood Exposure Blush. (You can see it swatched here).
theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer (Review here).
L’Oreal Infallible Fixing Mist. (Review here).

Anything I missed and you are curious about, just ask 🙂 As always, you can watch the video above by just clicking on it. Or head over to my YouTube channel here to watch my festive makeup get ready with me video there.

As always thanks for taking the time to click. I personally love watching these types of videos as well as making them myself.

Happy Christmas….countdown 🙂

I know Christmas is what we’re probably looking forward to the most, but New Years Eve is a big occasion too right? So. I have here a New Years Eve Makeup Look I would happily rock on the faithful night. I went for a subtle glittery eye with a matte pink lip. I think this combo would work for any night out not just New Years but it’s nice to have an excuse 🙂

Base, brows and eyeshadow primer dunzo!

Then onto the good stuff, I’m using the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Palette.

Isn’t she a beauty? I have a full review of it here if you want to see it up closer.

I grabbed the shade Stark to begin and added a wash of it to my crease just to makeup everything blend better on my lids.

To deepen the crease colour more I took some Anaheim and blended that over top.

To conceal any discolouration on the brow bone and lighten it, I applied some Skimp. It has a little bit of sheen to it but nothing too crazy.

Punk is one of my favourite colours in the palette.

I used a tapered brush to apply it on the outer v of my eyes, and blended it across my crease slightly.

To just add a base for the pigment, I patted some Baby over the rest of my lid.

And then some more blending happened 🙂

I don’t think this step was really necessary, because the pigment is more of a shadow than a glitter, but I did it so I’ll add it in.

I applied a really small amount of Duraline onto my eyelids (I have a full blogpost on Duraline here).

I pulled out Makeup Geek’s pigment in New Years Eve for a bit of festive sparkle and because it’s aptly named for a New Years Eve Makeup look 🙂

I applied this with a flat brush over where I placed the Duraline.

I just deepened up Punk in the outer corner then.

I used the colour Blackout, from the Gwen Stefani Palette to line my lash line because lashes have to happen…it’s New Years Eve Makeup. 🙂

I chose Ardell Demi 120 false lashes, I like that they flare out on the outer corners.

To hide the false lash band a bit more, I applied a line of liquid liner across them.

I concealed and then went onto the lower lash line. I added some of the Punk shade on the outer end of my eyes, the same as the top lid.

And then some Baby on the inner part.

Mascara time then.

I wanted to darken things up a little more so I tight lined with some black liner.

For some inner corner brightness, I used the shade Pop.

I wanted to go with a somewhat strong pink lip. I lined my lips first with Nyx Lip Pencil in Pinky.

I chose one of my favourite lip products the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the colour Ole Flamingo.

I did some loose curls in my hair for the occasion and then we’re done 🙂

Let me know what you think!

Have the best Christmas and of course New Year ever, and thank you so much for reading, I really really appreciate it.
