Cocktail bar evening!

So I went out for a lovely few drinks out with my chummies to a cocktail bar a few nights ago, and I had one of those nights, where you feel like your entire outfit, hair and makeup wise has gone really well! So I thought I would do a quick post on everything I wore that evening that made me feel so special, I will definitely be trying to recreate this make up for another night because it lasted all night and photographed really well.

Face:

ThisWorks Perfect Look Skin Miracle as a moisturiser/base. Gives a gorgeous glow to the skin and makes you look a little perkier than you may be feeling!

Benefit The Porefessional as a primer on my t-zone to help prevent make up meltdown.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum for my foundation in shades 51 and 52 (lighter shade 51 around the centre of my face to help highlight and add shape). Gives a gorgeous glow and has no SPF so no scary flashback ghost face in photos (one of my pals is extremely camera happy on evenings out!). Applied using the Real Techniques buffing brush.

Chanel Bronze Universal as a bronzer, also applied with the buffing brush to give an all over bronzed effect, as opposed to contouring and shaping the face.

Piling on more bronzer with the ELF Blush/Bronze duo - my all time favourite bronzer. Used a EcoTools blush brush.

Sleek Rose Gold Blush onto the cheekbones to add some colour and sheen as it also acts as quite the highlighter!

Concealer was Aldi's Lacura Highlighting Brush Concealer, called something along those lines! Lovee it!

Eyes:

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Pink Gold as a base for my eyeshadow to cling to.

Urban Decay Midnight Cowgirl all over lid and browbone, is super glittery and beautiful! Applied before Colour Tattoo had set.

Urban Decay COLOUR slightly above the crease to give the illusion of wider eyes! I have very little eyes for my face so I like to open them up! Dark colours do not suit me, nor does black eyeliner! :( So I go for light shades and a very slightly smokier colour in the crease and along the lashline to make my lashes look a slight bit thicker!

Loreal Beauty Tubes Mascara, several layers of the primer applied one after the other to get some va va voom lashes. 

Lips:

I don't "do" lipstick! Am yet to find one to suit me, and if I did it would be a my lips but better shade, so for the moment, "my lips" are making do! Moisturised with the Nuxe Reve de Miel which I like because it is matte and tastes orangey, and lasts allll night so I don't have to take it out with me and risk losing it!

Outfit:

Dress from Primark

Rose Gold watch from River Island

Brown Leather double wrap Pandora with a few charms on.

A cheap ebay leather wrap bracelet because I wanted something to contrast with my brown leather whilst in the same sort of style and I didn't have enough to buy another Pandora!

Miscellaneous:

Tanned my legs arms and chest with the Rimmel Sun Shimmer in Medium Matte.

Wore Zara Woman Gold perfume (a Lady Million dupe!)

Toes were painted in Nails Inc Tate

Hair was in a side part with a fringe twist to just above my ear. Backcombed slightly for some volume, and a little dry shampoo for volumising purposes! I used Lush No Drought.
