My Night-Out Makeup

When it comes to going out and choosing makeup, I stick to what I know. There's nothing worse than 'trying out a new look' right before you're about to go out and hating it and then having to quickly rush and re-do your face. This had happened on my birthday. Never again. Therefore I've found my staple night-out makeup bits that I know won't fail me. 

For the base I like more of a full-coverage foundation, so I opt for the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. I love this stuff as it makes my skin look flawless in photos and gives it a bit more dimension that a regular matte foundation. It stays in place and is just a perfect canvas. For that extra coverage I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on any spots and my dark under-eyes as it's just a faultless product. For bronzer I tend to go in with my Benefit Hoola Bronzer as I can do a bit more of a harsh and defined contour which I like for a night out, along with the Benefit Rockateur Blush as it tends to work with nearly every eyeshadow look. 

Highlighter of course is a definite must on a night out. During the day I like to go subtle with my highlight, opting for either theBalms Mary Lou but I tend to go for more of a bam highlighter and chose my Sleek Solstice Palette and use my favourite shade Equinox to highlight my cheeks, bridge of my nose and my cupids bow. 

Onto the eyes I know that I can always count on my Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette to create a smokey bronze/copper eyelook. To highlight my brow bone I love going in with the shade 'hemisphere' from the Sleek palette as well, as it's beautiful to lift and add more glam to your look.  I always wear eyeliner and my favourite is the L'Oreal SuperLiner SuperStar. I can easily create a small winged liner that is even and actually fully opaque. I don't wear falsies as I find they look really odd on me, plus I don't have the patience but I do like big voluminous lashes, so I always wear my Maybelline Lash Sensation Mascara for length and volume. 

Bold lips are a definite no, no for me. It's hard enough for me to not get red lipstick all over my shirt and face when I'm sober, let alone after a few vodka oranges. Therefore it's best I go for a very neutral shade and mostly opt for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk as it's really 'my lips but better/plumper'. 

Finally I have to set my makeup so a couple spritz of the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray ensures that my makeup sits in place for the entire evening!
