Zou Bijoux Bijoux

I bought a couple more of the Glossier Play Glitter Gelées a few months ago and I have since been experimenting with different ways of wearing them. This time I used a pencil to map out a wing and then applied the highest concentration of glitter over the wing so keep the edge sharp and then applied more up onto the rest of the eyelid. This is an easy way to do a statement eye look but I kept everything else quite minimal as usual to avoid it looking like too much. I've also worn this shade as a liner and it looked amazing as you just get a glimpse of the glitter along your lash line. I paired it with the Lisa Eldridge Velvet Fawn lipstick to avoid it looking too festive. 

I finished the eyes with a few coats of the Clinique High Impact mascara as I felt that I needed a lot of mascara with this eye look. I did a couple of coats on my lower lashes too which I wouldn't normally do, just to balance out under my eyes. I really liked how this turned out, I'd definitely wear a darker lipstick or even a gloss with this eye look too.

Star Gold

Over Christmas I got some lovely presents including the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise in the shade Star Gold and the NARS Audacious lipstick in the shade Carmen from the Studio 54 collection. I wore them together a couple of weeks ago and added some Bodyography Glitter Pigment in Bubbly in the centre of the lid for some extra glitz and dimension. I added a thin wing using Glossier Pro Tip and Urban Decay Perversion Mascara. 

On my face I used a combination of Glossier Futuredew and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. I absolutely loved how these products looked together, my bottle of Luminous Silk is almost finished and it's one I'll definitely be repurchasing. I try not to buy into hype, but this foundation is a cult product for good reason. If you like a foundation that gives a radiant finish to your skin (and who doesn't) this is one of the best I've ever tried and worth the money in my opinion. 

I've only ever tried a small sample of the NARS Audacious lipsticks before so I'm delighted to finally have one, especially in such beautiful packaging. It's a stunning shade of red and the formula is creamy but long-wearing and so comfortable. I love the bronze/gold winged out eyes and red lips. It's nothing new or exciting but it's one of those go-to looks that makes me feel great.

Mulholland Drive

I've been wanting to try Lemonhead LA glitters for the longest time so when I saw that they were stocked on Cult Beauty before Christmas I had to make an order. They also happened to be offering a free Mulholland Spacepaste with every purchase so that made it even sweeter, two for the price of one. I was so excited to try them out myself after seeing lots of different people using them. 

I decided to go for a sort of tonal look based on the rose gold shade of Mulholland. I used Bodyography Eclipse Glitter Pigment as a base as it's the same shade as the glitter and then NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in the shade American Woman which is described as a chestnut rose. I used Glossier Cloud Paint in Storm on my cheeks to bring the rosy colour onto my face and tie the look together. 

I'm still loving using Glossier Futuredew under my foundation, particularly with more long lasting or full coverage foundations like Double Wear Light or the IT Cosmetics CC Cream which is what I did for this look. As you can see despite it being full coverage it doesn't look heavy at all. 

I love how this look turned out, I think the different shades of rosy pink worked really well together. I was so impressed with the Lemonhead Spacepaste, it's such an easy product to use as the glitter is suspended in a kind of gel so you can either apply it with a flat brush or your finger for a lighter application. I also really enjoyed wearing the NARS Powermatte for the first time. I bought one of the Studio 54 sets on sale at Christmas with three shades in it. I blended out the edges slightly with a pencil brush for a softer look.
