A Dolce Vita NYE

With New Years Eve tomorrow I thought I’d do a sneak peek as to what makeup I’ll be doing for the big night. I’ll be celebrating with my fiance and friends and we’re going out so I thought I’d ramp up my usual makeup without going too ott.

I was lucky enough to receive Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Eye Palette and Filmstar Bronze and Glow in my stocking this Christmas and just WOW is all I can say. The eye palette is possibly my favourite eye palette ever with each shade being gorgeous quality and highly pigmented, they work beautifully on their own as individual all over colours and even better when used together to form the full Dolce Vita look. The Dolce Vita is all about Italian sex kitten chic and with my olive toned skin I feel like it’s the perfect fit for me out of all of the other Charlotte Tilbury looks (although I do have my eye on the Sophisticate and the Bombshell next…..). The gorgeous rusty burnished red/bronze/orange colour in the top right is just beyond breath taking. I used the palette exactly as Charlotte instructs in her tutorial here. Next up I sculpted and highlighted using the divine Filmstar Bronze and Glow. I cannot rave about this product enough, it is just dreamy. You can pretty much chisel your dream cheekbones with this palette in seconds, I like to suck my cheeks in and buff the bronzer along my cheekbones to really sculpt, I then dabbed a little on my temples and under my jawline. The real “woah” moment though is when you add the highlighter onto the tops of the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose and cupids bow – it’s like walking around in perfect lighting all the time. To ramp it up further for the big night, I’ll also be adding some of the highlighter onto my brow bones.
