Today we are having a Christmas dinner with my flat before we all go home for the holidays; as you can tell, I'm pretty excited, so decided to do a festive FOTD for you all!
Before I applied any make-up, I went through my normal skincare routine. Click here to see the previous FOTD post, where you will find the products I use before any cosmetics...
1. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
As usual, I applied this concealer as an alternative to foundation because it's very good coverage and lasts a long while.
2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
To target the little blemishes and my little friends that have popped up recently, I used my favourite concealer.
3. MAC Strobe Cream
This is a lovely highlighter that comes in a liquid form and surprisingly smells really good! I put this on the tops of my cheekbones, my nose, my cupid's bow and my chin. This is my favourite part of the look as festive make-up is all about the shimmer!
4. Collection Pressed Powder
I used this to set everything on my face, avoiding the areas that I highlighted.
5. MAC Brow Set
This is a fantastic product that I use to keep my brows in place for the whole day. It's a gel formula so dries after you have achieved your desired shape.
Halfway through, my face was looking like a good base for the rest of the make-up:
6. Sleek Divine Palette in The Original 594
This palette is full of shimmery colours, perfect for this look. However, I used the one pictured below, which was quite a light colour, as I didn't want to go too heavy on the eyes.

7. Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner
I didn't do a very significant line or flick; I started halfway and went outwards just to give my eyes a bit of definition.

8. Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner
This went over the top of the felt tip liner.
9. Eyeko Eye Do Mascara
I recently started using this mascara and even though at first I wasn't really that impressed with it, over time I have grown to like it and now I can't stop using it! I love the formula and it's not clumpy at all so there's no chance of getting spidery lashes. Instead, it's great at lengthening but also adding volume to my lashes.

10. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
This went on my waterline to open up my eyes.
11. Clinique Chubby Stick in Broadest Berry

Finally, I finished my make-up with a crayon from Clinique, which I thought would be a really nice alternative to your classic red. As I said before, I wanted to keep the eyes quite simple, so I opted for a bolder lip in a berry shade, which also went well with the outfit I wore.
Here's the finished look...
