MY NIGHT OUT MAKE-UP ESSENTIALS

We all love a good night out every now & again. I for one love getting ready, I think I look forward to getting ready just as much as I look forward to actually going out. Todays post is all about my essentials when getting ready for a night out. 

MAC Studio Fix Foundation

Although I find this too heavy for everyday wear, it provides perfect coverage for a night out. It smooths over any imperfections and gives a nice dewy finish. The colour is just right despite me being the palest person on earth. 

Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer 

I first began using this about 3 years ago and I don't think I've applied eye shadow without it since. It literally acts like glue for your eye shadow, and keeps it in place all night long. It also really shows the pigments in the eye shadow so you get maximum shimmer.

Naked 2 Palette

This is an essential for me, daytime or night time I can always create an appropriate eye look with it. If I'm going out I will usually go for a smoky look so the shimmery shades in this palette are perfect. 

MAC Gel Eyeliner

No evening look of mine is complete without this. It effortlessly glides onto the eyes to give the perfect finish. It's a really deep black colour so it really makes my blue eyes stand out.

Benefit They're Real Mascara

This speaks for itself really. It gives amazing length and definition to the lashes, and is simply the best mascara I've ever tried.

MAC Satin Lipstick in MAC Red

I was always afraid to wear red lipstick as I'm a natural ginger with very pale skin & blue eyes. However when I went to the MAC counter one day the lady changed my mind. I'm not yet brave enough to wear it in the daytime, however I love it for an evening look as it really brings a look together. MAC lipsticks are really easy to apply and last really well. 

Origins Mineral Finishing Powder

This is a great product as it can be applied with or without make-up underneath. It gives the perfect finish over foundation, offering good coverage but without looking too 'caked on', As it's mineral base, it's like a miracle in a pot and has fantastic benefits for your skin.
