Holiday Makeup Looks

Hi lovelies! So sorry I haven't blogged in so long, been super busy but I've got loads of things in the pipeline that should make some really interesting blog posts.

First of all I've been on a much needed holiday to Tenerife which was AMAZING, I was definitely ready for some sunshine and sangria! Being on holiday gave me a great idea for a blog post as well, because I always find holiday makeup can be a bit of a nightmare to get right.

I've created two holiday looks, using a lot of the same products, to show how you don't need to take your entire makeup bag on holiday to get loads of different looks.

Softly smoking eyes with pale pink lips

I absolutely love this look because it's quick and easy to do, and really looks like you've made a lot of effort. It goes well with any outfit and I think it suits a laid back ponytail hairstyle.

Breaking the look down:

Base: 

1. Primer- Benefit Porefessional
2. Foundation- MAC Studiosculpt 
3. Concealer- Benefit Erase Paste
4. Bronzer- Chanel Soleil Tan du Chanel (Bronze Universal)

Eyes:

1. Primer- Benefit Stay Don't Stray
2. Shadow- MAC Snowglobe Palette in Sultry shades Lightfully, Fun! & Trax (limited edition Christmas palette)
3. Liner- Benefit Magic Ink
4. Lashes- Eyelure Katy Perry Oh Honey! 
5. Brows- Benefit Browzings in Dark

Lips & Cheeks:

Lips- Benefit Lip Plump & MAC Angel

Cheeks- Benefit Watts Up highlighter & Guerlain Terracotta  Blondes (04) bronzer

Peacock inspired smoky eyes with coral lips

This was my favourite makeup look of the whole holiday because I think the colours work really well together and look gorgeous with a tan. I never usually use blue shades I always stick to browns and black but I think this rich navy blue works really well with brown eyes.

Breaking the look down:

Base:

As above, I didn't want to take loads of makeup on holiday so I kept my base and cheeks the same all week as you can't really go wrong with a luminous foundation and bronzer.

Eyes:

1. Primer- Benefit Stay Don't Stray
2. Shadow- Benefit Sippin n' Dippin (discontinued cream peach shade), Lancome 604 Color Design Night Strass (Navy blue powder)
3. Liner- Benefit Magic Ink
4. Lashes- Eyelure Katy Perry Oh Honey!
5. Brows- Benefit Browzings in Dark

Cheeks & Lips:

Cheeks as above, Lips- Benefit Lip Plump & Barry M Lip Paint 54

I tried a few new products this holiday and I think I was most impressed with the Katy Perry Eyelure lashes because they looked dramatic yet natural and were incredibly easy to apply, they also lasted several applications and still looked fresh. 

I'm thinking about doing more makeup tutorials and maybe video tutorials, is that something you would like to see? If so what kind of look would you be interested in?

Hope you like these new makeup looks!
