Autumn/Winter 2013 Make Up Look 1: Navy Eyes & Nude Lips

I can sometimes be guilty with sticking to safe looks when it comes to eyeshadow. I know brown suits me so I stick with it. I'm hoping this year I'll be getting out more, Bonfire Night, Halloween, Christmas Parties - this year I want to attend them all and be able to have the odd drink So this first look is more glamorous.

I do sometimes do the standard grey, smoky eye but I had the urge to go with navy eyes this time which I'm glad I did.

After my usual foundation, Benefit Dandelion blusher and some white highlighter below my eyebrows
I started the eyes by applying some lighter, sparkly gold eyeshadow (1) on the eyes, then some white eyeshadow (2) in the corner of my eyes. After that I layered on the navy eyeshadow (3), I applied the same shadow under my eyes like a liner giving myself a winged effect.

On top of this I used some Benefit Bad Gal Eyeliner in black and the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast HD Mascara. I always prefer either heavy lips and little eye make-up or heavy eye make-up and light lips which is what I did here. So to finish off I used Mac CremeSheen in Creme D'Nude topped with my first proper use of one of the lipglass lip gloss from the Archie's Girls collection in Summer Sweetheart.

Now that I have one dramatic make-up style for the coming colder months I need to find some clothing to go with it! I think I need to dig out a vintage floor-length Better Barclay dress or some of the gorgeous Ossie Clark dresses in Debenhams.
