The Holiday season is one of my favourite times of the year because it is a time about family, love and giving. In South Africa it is summer over the festive season it is very difficult to get into the spirit of things but it does give me an excuse to wear red lipstick 24/7.
Before I put any foundation on my skin I like to prepare and moisturise my skin. That way my skin is protected and also forms a good canvas for everything I am going to put over it.
MAC Fix+: I spray it all over my face just to add moisture to my skin
Elizabeth Arden 8-hour lip cream: I put this on my lips to soften and moisturise it before I put on a drying matte lipstick
Smashbox Hydrating Primer: I love wearing a primer because it makes my make up last so much longer
MAC Strobe Cream: I love adding this to all of the high-points on my face like my cheekbones because it gives my skin the most gorgeous glow
Boujois Healthy Mix and L'Oreal Infallible Foundations:
I love mixing these two foundations together to form the perfect finish and shade
I use the MAC Concealer to cover any imperfections and conceal my dark circles using the MAC Prep and Prime Pen in Lightboost. I set everywhere I put the concealer with Yardley's Loose Powder
MAC Studio Fix Powder: I love using this powder to set my foundation because it adds just a little bit more coverage
I always bronze and contour my skin using the Catrice Bronzer for Medium Skin. I love the Catrice Blush in Rose Royce to give my cheeks a slight wash of colour. My highlight is the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade because it gives the cheeks a frosty silver look
Because I tint my eyebrows to make them darker, I only use the Catrice Eyebrow Filler Gel to fill in any gaps. I prep my eyelids with MAC's Painterly Paint Pot and I set that using the Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder
For all over my lid I used MAC's All that Glitters EyeShadow (the one on the right) and in my crease I added MAC's Satin Taupe Eyeshadow (the one on the left). I used MAC gel liner in Blacktrack to create a wing and MAC Vanilla Pigment as a brow-bone and inner-corner highlight. I topped it off using the Lancome Dolls Eyes Mascara
For the star of the show I lined my lips using Essence Lip Liner in Femme Fatale and wore MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick over it
