Starting off with eyes. I am taking the Too Faced Merry Macaroons palette.
Naturally I started with concealer to prime my eyes and setting them with a powder.

One of my favourite brands for lipstick is MAC. I find they are a more reasonable price than other high end lipsticks, have a great formula and have every colour available under the sun. They offer 7 different finishes - Frost, Glaze, Amplified, Lustre, Matte, Satin and Cremesheen. My current favourites are the latter 3. Now,  I know these are all nudes but take my word they all look different on the lips.
