What's On My Face #4

So Christmas is over, there's still some turkey lurking in the fridge, chocolate wrappers under the sofa, but I'm now looking forward to the new year... I think 2013 will be a good one! 

Another 'What's on My Face' post and although this isn't one of my faves I wanted to post it anyway - we can't have perfect makeup everyday! 

For the base I used

NARS Sheer Glow

which is an old foundation which I've recently fallen back in love with. It's definitely not sheer, in fact it's one of the heavier foundations I own. If I want a lighter finish I use my hands and for fuller coverage I use my stippling brush. On my cheeks I used the

Jouer bronzer

as a contour to warm up my face, the

Dior Amber Diamond

to highlight my cheekbones and

Benefit Coralista

for a flush of colour. 

On my eyes I started with my favourite base,

Maybelline's 'On and On Bronze'

and over the top layered

MAC's Patina

which has become one of my favourites. I then used

MAC Charcoal Brown

in the crease and under the eye. For mascara I'm trying

Benefit's 'They're Real'

which was voted number 1 in the UK although I'm still unsure of whether it's for me or not. 

Another new favourite is the

Anastasia Clear Brow Gel

, which although makes them a bit crispy, definitely holds them in place! And finally on the lips, a new addition to my collection,

Topshop's 'Beguiled'

. I find applying Topshop lipsticks quite hard and have to use a brush and then pat with my finger, but after all the hard work I was left with a pretty wine colour. 

On my nails is the '

Vivianna Manicure

' and I used

Leighton Denny 'Maneater'

and

Ciate 'Ladylike Luxe'

to get the look. I love it and I'm thinking about doing it with black and rose gold next time! 

So a bit vampier than usual, but sometimes I like a change! What do you think of the darker lip?
