Blush combination

Due to the wintery weather, I’ve been combining a cream and powder blush to make it last a little longer and I’ve found a perfect combination.

Coralista by Benefit- a gorgeous birthday present from Charlotte

S4011664

Dior Pro cheeks Ultra Radient Blush in Catwalk Pink.

The Dior blush is less creamy and more moussey (think high end Dream matte blush) which I find easiest to apply with a MAC 109 brush. I blend it high on my cheeks, which gives a long lasting wash of colour.

I then apply Coralista over the apples and blend up into my cheek bones with a MAC129 brush.

Here’s the result

A beautiful, long lasting, shimmery blush.

Dior pro wear blush is discontinued(WAAAAH!) so I’m on the look out for a replacement.

Makeover madness

I love doing other people’s make up and never manage to get photos of it for my blog.  I’ve just discovered these on my pc so I thought I’d share.

Here’s my work mate Laura, and the make up I did for her before Christmas.

I was quite drunk so I couldn’t manage to take any great photos of her make up.

The eyeshadows were from the Sleek Graphite(purples) and Storm(golds) palettes and the lipstick is Maybelline Coral pop.
