Quick Look: Red Red Wine

I got that song stuck in my head this morning while doing my makeup..... For some reason dark reds and burgundies are never a colour I normally grab for. I use these colours pretty much exclusively around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't know why, but I don't really like them for any other time of year. It is almost Christmas though, so I decided to do a lovely burgundy smokey eye with my BH Cosmetics 120 Shimmer Palette. This palette is great for the holidays. There are so many festive shimmery and metallic colours. Now I did this while running out the door to work, and the pictures were unfortunately not taken until I got home 10 hours later, so please excuse my tired face.

This is an accurate picture of how well my makeup tends to stay throughout the day. I think it lasts quite well except I am starting to look a bit tired around the eyes. This is the Annabelle Skin True foundation I mentioned in my last haul. I will have a full review of it up ASAP, because it is amazing stuff! The eyeshadow is also more red and less brown in real life. I did start the day off with a nude lipgloss too, but that wore off halfway through.

Well, that's it for this look, sorry it was so rushed! The Christmas craziness will be over soon and I will have more time for makeup.
