Christmas With Clarins/Party Make Up

Christmas party season is upon us, and what is already an expensive time of year for many of us I've put this post together to showcase a few staple products that will carry you through the party season. 

 

Clarins have been kind enough to get me party ready using just 3 of the products from their beautiful Ladylike collection*, here's how I created my party look.

 

These are the gorgeous Ombre Matte Shadow's and I have the shades Nude Beige and Sparkling Grey, as with all Clarins shadows these can be used wet or dry however my look was created using the shades dry as I didnt want my look to be too intense. But I have swatched the shades wet and they look amazing.

Blending over the whole eye socket and up to the brow bone I used the Nude Beige shade to create the perfect base, then taking a soft shadow brush I lightly took the Sparkling Gray shade across my lid crease and then down along my lash line. I adore the Sparkling Gray and my only niggle would be that Nude Beige could use a little sparkle in it.

Then using a dampened angled brush I used the Sparkling Gray to line my lower lashes, and it stayed put all night. The colour pay of is really godd with these shadows and I'm really excited to try the Sparkling Gray with a wet brush, I think it may give a really foiled effect.

The Rouge Eclat lipstick feels lovely on the lips, the deep berry red shade of Red Fuschia will be my go to red this year, I LOVE it.

 

Here's my complete party look.....

Clarins/Ladylike Autumn Collection

The temperature has certainly dropped lately, and while some of us are still yet to jet off on our summer holidays there's no escaping the fact that autumn is here. 

Clarins Ladylike collection has all the products you'll need to soften the blow of kissing goodbye to summer & hello to the colder weather. 

I love autumn/winter make up, the paler skin the autumnal brown and earthy hue eyes, and the pink blush always makes for a winning combo. 

I've been reviewing the instant Light Eye Base which I featured on a post a couple of weeks ago, you can catch up on it here I've also swatched this stunning eye quartet, if your a Clarins fan you'll know just how good the colour pay off is from these quads. 

How gorgeous is this eye palette?! 

The thing I LOVE about Clarins shadows is that they can be used wet or dry, so you can use them for day or night. The palette also includes a lovely dark brown, when applied with the pointed applicator dipped in water it gives a lovely autumnal liner effect. 

The left shot shows the colours swatched dry and then the right is using a wet applicator, you can also use the pointed top applicator in the pan to line your lashes, all the colours look fabulous as a liner when applied wet.....

The lovely people at Clarins are really coming up trumps with the palette offerings lately and this is another one that's sure to sell out fast! 

Available at Clarins counters nationwide or via their website and it retails for £32 this is palette number 13 and is called 'Skin Tones'
