Easy Red Lips and Curls Look

As Christmas is now under a week away (!!!), I know many of us are brainstorming outfits and looks for the special day and of course all the parties around it.

Red lips are a perfect party choice for a bold look. It gives the illusion of loads of effort and thought, but this look is actually pretty simple to do. And the curls only took me 10 minutes to complete - great for people who love lie ins (who doesn't?)!

So what's on my face?

Face:

• The Body Shop Instablur Perfector (sample)
• Skin79 Super+ BB Cream Triple Functions (pink)
• Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair
• MUA Matte Perfect Loose Translucent Powder
• Max Factor Crème Puff Powder Compact
• Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder
• MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder - Pink Shimmer

Eyes:

• MUA Pro-Base Eye Primer
• Benefit 'peek-a-bright eyes' Palette (my favourite palette EVER)
• SEVENTEEN Doll'd Up Mascara
• Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Source: Benefit


Brows:

• MUA Luxe Power Brow in Mid Brown
• MUA Matte Eyeshadow (Chestnut is closest to my discontinued shade)

Lips:

• Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair
• MUA Intense Kisses Lipgloss in Pucker Up
• Lipcote (for ultimate staying power!)

The concealer on the lips is a trick I recently learned in order to allow your lip product's true colour to show and not be affected by your natural hue. Perfect for red lips. Lipcote is another helpful tool for a bold colour all night long - it never lets me down!

Do you use any of these products? If you'd like to learn more about any of them, let me know and I may write a wee review! I love them all so much!

Hair

If you'd like to mirror my curls, all you need to do is follow this tutorial at Kouture Kiss. The method is basically to put your hair up in a high ponytail, split into a few sections and curl away from your face. It makes my thick hair so easy to manage and in just 10 minutes for me which is truly outstanding if you know how slow I am at everything!
