Vegas Face

Apologies for the silence but I took a little trip to Vegas last week. It was my first time and I was expecting pure sleaze. However I was pleasantly surprised. I guess you could find boobies if you really wanted to but I never saw any!!

I also came back ENGAGED! wahoo.. expect some manicure pictures with bling.

Now on to the actual make up chat.

I had taken a shite load of makeup to Vegas and I don't know what I was quite thinking.. Show girl maybe? I literally packed a different look for each night, false eyelashes included. In the end I stuck with a variation of one look.. lots and lots of gel eyeliner.. Winged out and with as flawless skin as I could achieve. Some times I added a contoured eye crease and some times some strong brows.

One thing that I would say is that I piled on the make up during the day simply because I had the time too. No children = A long bath and a half decent foundation routine.

So my Vegas saviours are:

Firstly a half decent moisturiser. The desert is bloody dry. If you don't have dry skin then you certainly will by the time you leave. Bearing in mind I have semi oily spotty skin I was so dry.
I found that a water spray is also helpful.

Lip balm is a must. Air conditioning is a bitch

A nice long wear budge proof foundation.. I recommend Estee Lauder Double wear. Days merge into nights and you may not want to leave the bar to go fix your make up.

Maybe just a little glitter for night time. I chose Collection 2000 eyeliner in Rock star.

Now I'm back I'm certainly in the Christmas mood. The decorations are going up at the weekend! whoop.
