FOTD: Dramatic Smokey Eye and Red Lip

Or should I say 'Face of the night'? I went and saw one of my favourite bands Hands Like Houses the other night (and might I add I caught a drumstick woohoo!) and this is the makeup I wore out. So If you want to find out how I achieved this look please read on!

The base products I used were identical to my go to clubbing look, what can I say, once you find something good you stick to it! Nars blush in Orgasm and the Benefit Hoola bronzer are a staple for me when going out as they photograph so well. I'm starting to get tired of my Mac Studio Fix and want to try something new, but I'm still in spending ban mode and want to finish it up before I purchase a new foundation. On my lips I used the Lime Crime lipstick in Glamour 101, a rich red which is exactly like the name - glamorous! 

Like usual my Naked palette was the star of my smokey eye look, although the matte white from my MUA palette seems to always make an appearance as its the perfect highlight colour. I forgot to include  in the photo my Maybelline master precise liner, which I used for the first time and was seriously impressed! A look isn't compete without brows in my opinion and I'm seriously in love with the Mac auto brow pencil in Lingering at the moment, I actually have 'Fling' the lighter shade available although I find that Lingering gives me a much more defined look without making my brows look too dark for my blonde hair.

I find the key to a good smokey eye is copious amounts of blending! Oh where would I be without my Sigma E40 Tapered blending brush I bought yonks back. Anyway, thats the lowdown of the makeup look! Thanks so much for reading and do let me know if your a fan or not of dramatic eyes and lips together!
