Travel makeup setup | Blogmas day 11

Every weekend I escape the student house horrors and stay at the boyfriends house for some proper relax time. On weekend mornings I tend to do my makeup sat next to him on his desk while he plays cod or FIFA, it’s a lovely set up to spend time doing our hobbies next to eachother plus he can make sure my eyeliner is even. 

  
Although we do chat I also like to put on the latest episode of Russell Howard’s good news for some morning giggles. I’m also sat directly infront of a window so the natural lighting is perfect to see that everything is blended as it should be. 

The makeup bag is from ted baker and was a Christmas present last year. 

If you see any products their you would like a review on please let me know in the comments and I shall do one.

Winter face base |blogmas day 2

These are the products I reach for every morning in winter.

I start with the Clinique anti-redness primer as I have lots of red undertones, especially in winter when im out in the cold.

My favourite winter foundation is the No7 beautiful matte as it provides more coverage with a matte finish without getting cakey. It also doesn’t break out my acne prone skin.

My favourite under eye concealer at the moment is the revlon colourstay as it actually stays in place and doesn’t crease all day.

As always on my eyebrows I use the sleek brow kit.

Over the matte foundation I prefer a lighter setting powder so use my bare minerals mineral veil which is more sheer than my normal mac fix plus.

For bronzer I have been reaching for my mini clarins bronzing duo as it has a matte side I like to use for contouring.

Finally my favourite winter blush is mac fleur power, a beautiful matte rosey pink shade.

FOTD cranberry and gold

I’ve recently been wearing this makeup look everyday, alternating between plain winged eyes and a red lip.
I use my maybelline 24h gel liner with an angled brush to do my wings, best thing about the angled brush is you can just stamp the wing on and it’s easy peasy!

Then from my sleek storm palette I use the dark cranberry colour from the end of the top row all over my lid, then take the gold fourth from the left on the top row and apply it on the inner corner of my eye and then the inner half of my lids. Then I pile on lashings of mascara, at the moment I’m loving benefit bad gal lash

Sorry for the wet hair but I didn’t have time to photograph after I had done my hair as I rushed out. On my lips I just have benefit hoola lipgloss which tastes amazing!
This look is subtle enough for daytime but is still fun and has impact.
