Office party look; Vincent Longo, Illamasqua and By Terry


This is a simple smoky daytime look for my office Christmas lunch. I used:

Illamasqua Gaze cake eyebrow. (I love this. I should make the effort and use it more often.)
By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Black Pearl on lid and under lower lashline, Vincent Longo Diamond eyeshadow in Concerto (sparkly charcoal) over the By Terry.
Vincent Longo Baby Love (warm beige/brown shimmer) eyeshadow in crease.
Illamasqua Vow medium pencil on waterline.
Vincent Longo Water Canvas blush in Morning Tender (warm pink.)
Vincent Longo Lipstain lipstick in Fleur de Flirt (sheer natural pink. This doesn't look like I'm wearing much, but it takes away my natural anaemic lip look.)

The lunch was okay; food was nice, I was sat next to people I like and I didn't drink any booze as I needed to be home at a reasonable time with a clear head!

  2. Lovely look. I've got a few Illamasqua medium pencils on my Christmas wish list. Fingers crossed that Santa brings me some.

  3. Hey Conny - thank you! Hope you have a nice time at your do.

    Hi Eliza - fingers crossed! I love this one, it's a bit softer than a pure white, and the texture is beautifully creamy but not smeary.

  5. Hi Amina - Vow is excellent. Creamy and comfy, and a great colour. Light enough to be brightening, but not as startling as pure white.

  7. Hi Replica - well it'll be interesting to see which one she chooses ;) Thank you, glad you are liking the Vow too. I found Hex a bit dark for my skintone, but Vow is perfect.

  10. Hello That Obsessive Girl - thank you. It makes such a difference doing my eyebrows, but I'm usually running too late in the morning! I love the ByTerry eyeshadow stick, it's a lovely texture and finish. Thanks for visiting my blog.

    Hi Lauren - thank you :)
