A somewhat natural but bright face of the day!

Hello!!!!
Firstly, a VERY MERRY (belated) CHRISTMAS to you all!! I hope those of you who celebrated had a lovely time with your loved ones!
Secondly, apologies for the slight hiatus slash going a bit MIA without warning! But I am back and have prepared a few posts so I'm gonna start with this one which is a FOTD or really face of the month as I have been sporting this look this whole month!

It's a quite a simple goldy/browny smokey look with just enough shimmer to make it festive appropriate and my new purchase/obsession Sleek's Pout Polish in Pink Cadillac on the lips for a bit of a pop! I always, always, always favour dewy skin over matte as I have dry skin so lots of highlighting products have been being used recently to make my skin look healthy! I have recently been suffering from a really weird, annoying bad breakout on my forehead and so I've had to up my skincare routine and be careful about products (but a post on this will be up soon!) but this little face routine has been working for me!

It has not been edited at all (the lip colour really is this bright on me!) but has been taken using the HDR setting on my iphone and also in different lighting so that's why some of the pictures look more orangey.

FACE: Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Barcelona; Benefit Moon Beam; Benefit Girl Meets Pearl; Bobbi Brown under-eye corrector; Benefit Boi-ing concealer; Nars Torrid blush; Nars Laguna bronzer
EYES: Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Emerveille; Urban Decay Half Baked; Urban Decay Smog and Darkhorse blended into crease; MUA liquid eyeliner; Covergirl LashBlast mascara
LIPS: Sleek Pout Polish in Pink Cadillac

Quick note on this amazing find in Superdrug - MUA Liquid Eyeliner for £1!!! Actually incredible, such a thin, precise line that is pitch black and doesn't budge - very, veryyy impressed (I used it in the above photo) and you can't really go wrong for £1! Be sure to check it out next time you're in Superdrug!

What make-up have you guys been sporting for the holiday season? I didn't go all out with lots of glitter this year but I think it's so fun and you can get away with so much more at this time of the year! Did anyone get any nice Christmas presents?
