New Makeup for the New Year

With the new year comes new picks for makeup. Gone is the heavy makeup of the Christmas period -  I lie, I was sick almost the entirety of December so no makeup was worn - and in comes the fresh bases, pretty shimmery eyeshadows and nude lips. A fresh face for a fresh start.

A base I thought I didn't get on with very well is what has been on my face for the past week or so - Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum (shade 52, slightly too dark but we make it work), I've largely been forgoing concealer and powder, oddly, so there's none of that pictured. For my cheeks, theBalm Mary Lou Manizer and Stila Convertable Colour in Lilium have been present consistently. They make a lovely pairing,  more natural than you'd expect giving the pigment punch that they pack. Soap & Glory's Archery brow pencil in Blondeshell is all I've been using for my brows since I bought it, so there's nothing new there, and W7's Absolute Lashes has been gracing my lashes - it bridges the gap between natural and a bit more perfectly, giving lovely definition without being too much. Teamed up with my Primark eyelash curler (surprisingly good, given that it was only £1), I've had lovely fluttery lashes. Finally for my eyes, No7 Shade and Define eyeshadow pencil in Pink Pearl and various shades of the Stila In The Light palette (now depotted, muahaha) have been upon my lids,with a particular preference for Kitten, not surprisingly.

It takes barely five minutes to do in the morning, at the minute, which is lovely! Do you switch up your makeup once the new year rolls around?
