It's as if once Christmas and New Years was over, I abandoned all my berry tones, red lips, golden eyes and flushed coloured blushers, opting for a more 'spring' styled making up look. Even though it is still January. And was -7 degrees the other day. Recently I've picked up a few bits and bobs through multiple hauls oops and I've created one of my all-time favourite new looks that I like to wear with quite basic outfits. Aka black jeans, black t-shirt and black boots. I like black.
Base
My base starts out using my new Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, applying it with my Zoeva Silk Finish Brush. I then set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent. Giving my face more definition I apply the Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette with the shade on the bottom line, furthest to the right I don't think there are any shade names in these palettes.
For this look I tend to skip contouring as I prefer it looking quite 'natural' on the base. I then use a brighter blusher, and opt for the beautiful pink shade in the Ultra Blush Palette, on the top row, second to right.
Eyes
I have literally been adoring my Wet 'N Wild Walking on Eggshells eyeshadow palette this month. And basically everyday. It's a gorgeous neutral shimmery eye base that I really feel could suit so many skin tones. I pretty much use the palette as it states in the description on the palette, you know colouring inside the lines and all that. Crazy Caroline. I then apply my newly found favourite liquid liner, the Maybelline Master Precise. Mascara has been all about my Benefit Roller Lash. I then go in to the brows which I'll be honest need a load of work recently due to dissertation season. Aka I haven't been bothered to get them threaded. Or do anything to maintain looking mildly decent. Why you so sexy Caroline? I've been loving my affordable Wet 'N Wild Eyebrow Kit along with my trust Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara to keep it all in place.
Lips
This is my all-time favourite lip combo recently. With quite a subtle eye and outfit I've been obsessed with lining my lips with my KIKO Rebel Romantic Lipliner in 01 and popping my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Ibiza. I honestly think this is such a gorgeous shade to get you in the mood for Spring!
I love that lip colour so pretty!!

Hahaha I know what you mean! I think I'm going to make myself wear a dark lippy this weekend otherwise I know i'll get too caught up in Spring colours and miss the opportunity to wear red! xx
