EmiliaStyle: Holidays

Hi everyone!<3 I hope you're all having a productive week:) It's my last week of final exams and I'm very much looking forward to a little break for classes. Today, I've got my last #MiaXmasPrep beauty post going up. For the occasion, I thought I'd do a look that was quintessentially me. So of course, I pulled out all my purple toned shadows :). We're going for a defined eye today and a neutral lip. I hope you enjoy! <3

The Bases:

The bases I used today are very much staples of mine. I went for my all-time favourite Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer and for my eyes, I opted to use the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base.

The Face:

For this look, I decided to use a mix of two foundations. I wanted to get the gorgeous glow of the Bourjois Healthy Mix and the staying power of L'oreal Infalliable Pro-Matte. Both these products mix really well together and give a perfect combination of high coverage and fresh faced. Because my skin isn't the best at the moment, I used a thicker concealer, the M.A.C Studio Finish. I also opted to use my trusty Rimmel Wake Me Up under-eye concealer. Finally, I set all of that with a setting powder.

The Eyes:

For this beauty post, I thought I would mainly use shadows from my M.A.C palette. Firstly, I used "Wedge" to fill out my eyebrows. I applied this Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon (Amethyst Aphrodisiac) all over my lid and then used "Naked Lunch" in the inner corner. I used both "Mythology" and "Sable" in the centre and outer areas of my eyes and then applied "Sketch" to smoke out the outer corner. For the bottom lashes, I went in with a Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes (Soft Plum) on my lower lash line and to enhance that, I decided to smudged a bit of "Sketch" on top of the liner. Finally, I finished up my eyes with one of my favourite mascaras, the Maybelline Lash Sensational.

The Cheeks:

I decided to reach for the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow today and this works perfectly to create definition without looking overly done up. Before going in with the highlight from the palette, I lightly dusty a bit of this pink Revlon Blush (Rose Glow) for a slight amount of colour on my cheeks.

The Lips:

Like I said at the start, the eyes are very the main focus of this look so I wanted to go for a muted lip. That's why I opted for this gorgeous mauvy-pink lipstick from Bite (Meritage). It's got a beautiful sheen and great longevity.

I hope you've enjoyed the look! Let me know if you decide to try it out and check back Friday for the final festive outfit post<3

Hollywood Glam #MiaXmasPrep | Beauty

Anastasia

Welcome to the first day of #MiaXmasPrep! Today's post is all about a classic makeup look that could go with most outfits during the season. I've got you covered with a nice winged liner and a gorgeous red lip. Now I know that this look is frequently done but I thought that I could add my own twist to it and make it a bit more me.

I'v found that the best way to pull of this look, is to focus on the base and make sure its perfect and then you can have fun with the wing and lip. Hope you enjoy!:)

The Base:

| Real Techniques Buffing Brush | Sigma F60 | Sephora Multi Tasker Brush 54 |

I started with my Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer to achieve a smooth base and to make sure that the makeup would stay on all day. I then opted for my M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid foundation (NC25) because I wanted to go for something heavier that would cover up any imperfections. If you look at old Hollywood events, the women always seem to have such flawless skin and so that's what I was trying to achieve. I covered up any redness with my L'oreal True Match Concealer(Neutral/Fair Light N1-2-3))and then lightened my under-eye area using the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (230 Very Light/Light). I set all of that using my M.A.C Prep+Prime Translucent Finishing Powder, concentrating on my T-zone and my under-eye area.

The Eyes:

| Sigma E70 | Sonia Kashuk Spoolie |

First and foremost, I applied my Too Faced Shadow Insurance so that nothing would disappear throughout the day. I then filled in my eyebrows using the Anastasia Brow Wiz (Soft Brown). As a base for the liner, I decided that a bit of shimmer would be nice, so I used my Burberry Shadow in Gold Pearl no.001. It's got a gorgeous finish that gives a little bit of pop to a standard gold shade. I then used my Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner (Jet Black). This pen works really well, I like that it consistently gives an even amount of product. I also added a bit of black in between my lashes for a fuller effect. For that I used the Gosh Velvet Touch Eye Liner (Black Ink). Finally I used my Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara to give me extra volume. This entire look could also work really well if you wanted to add some false lashes.

The Face:

| Sigma F40 | Real Techniques Setting Brush |

I did a bit of contouring using the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess (03-Medium). I then applied a tiniest bit of Nars Blush (Sin) simply to give me a bit of colour but not so that it's very apparent. I then used the Josie Maran Argan Enlightenment Illuminating Veil for a little bit of highlight. I applied that just over my blush on the apples of my cheeks.

The Lips:

I would suggest applying a lip moisturizer at the start of doing your makeup so that it has time to sink in. I lined my lips with the Sephora Lip Liner (The Red) and then applied my Revlon Matte Balm Lip Pen (Standout).

I hope you've enjoyed this first post of my #MiaXmasPrep series. On Friday, I'll be showing you the first outfit I'll be featuring so don't forget to check back then!

Have a lovely Wednesday :)
