I don't normally wear both heavy eye makeup and a dark lip but I decided to compile a list of Winter 'must haves', which I then used to create this 'Vampy' look.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
During the Winter months, skin tends to get very dry, so the Embryolisse moisturiser; 'Lait-Crème Concentré', is perfect for keeping your skin hydrated. It also helps to keep the application of your makeup smooth and even. This particular brand is recommended by both make up guru's and dermatologists and is very reasonable for the results it provides. £13
MAC Warm Neutral Palette
When I saw this in stores last Christmas I had to buy it! It is genuinely the perfect palette for me as I tend to do quite neutral warm pink and bronzey tones on my eye for my day to day look. It is also amazing to use during Winter, as there are a number of gold glittery shades useful when doing more festive and glamorous looks. 'Saddle' is my go to crease colour out of the eyeshadows, and in the top right hand corner you can see that there is the option to darken up your eye for a more dramatic or nighttime look. For me it is definitely worth the price as it is far cheaper then creating your own palette, and includes most of my favourite shades! £65
MAC Lipliner in 'Nightmoth'
This is the perfect deep and dark purple lipliner to outline your lips when applying a darker lipstick. The MAC lipliners have one of the best formulas, meaning they apply easily and are very pigmented. Pairing this lipliner with MAC lipstick in 'rebel' creates a really nice ombre dark winter lip! £12.50
MAC Lipstick in 'Rebel' and 'Diva'
These are two of my favourite dark lipsticks from MAC, along with 'Antique Velvet' which I have just purchased. Dark lipstick is essential for creating that Autumn/Winter Vampy lip. Diva is probably my favourite lipstick of all time and I have coupled it with the Nightmoth lipliner in my picture to create the dark matte red lip I am wearing. £15.50
Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer
This product is amazing!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but it really is the best under eye product I have ever used. It is so thick you only need a small amount. I blend it out under my eye with a beauty blender and the results are incredible. You get a flawless highlighted under eye that doesn't crease and really stands out. Perfect for keeping your under eye looking crisp, and also amazing to use in winter because I doubt it will budge in the wind and rain so common to British weather! £38
Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighter in 'So Hollywood'
This gold highlighter is really beautiful! Although it is extremely pigmented it blends in so naturally with your makeup it creates the illusion of being part of your organic glow! I like using this in Winter because it is warmer then some of my other highlights, such as NARS 'Albatross', and obviously I am obsessed with wearing highlighter so at least one had to make it to my must haves. £28
NARS blush in 'Dolce Vita'
I am a big fan of plum toned blushes and this one is perfect! It's slightly shimmery and provides a lot of warmth to your face. I would definitely recommend owning a plum blush for Winter because it goes amazingly with darker eye makeup and purple/plum/deep red/smoked brown lips. £23
