FESTIVE MAKEUP.

Black Friday is coming! This date has recently become more and more regarded not only in US, but also in Europe as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. 

Since lots of department stores have started a whole week of promotional sales and I'm a "fashion girl", I am really excited about the best time to score sales from a plethora of brands I love. 
So, yesterday I profited of this very welcomed opportunity to add some new festive makeup picks to my beauty-case, which will help me to create a flawless, sophisticated, cocktail look to wear in view of the flurry of holiday invites.

I'm generally clearheaded about makeup and clothes-style choices, and since I'm a big fan of Chanel makeup, I went directly to the Chanel counter, where I was immediately attracted by the Rouge Allure Ink Matte Liquid Lip Colour, a truly long-lasting liquid lipstick with a smooth texture that glides on like a gloss and sets with a luminous, velvet-like finish. From the range of bold and provocative red/pink-tint shades available, I chose the warm shade of Red n.148 Libéré, which suits my golden pale complexion and blonde hair. 

I matched it with an iconic long-lasting high-shine red nail polish, Le Vernis Rouge Essentiel n. 500, for a bright, classic and refined total makeup that will add some glow to my looks for the holidays' nights. 

I was also tempted by a product for the uniformity of my complexion, so I chose a light golden powder from Les Beiges Collection Shade n.40 to add a radiant natural finish to my skin after the application of my usual foundation. 
I complemented it with silky-textured blush Joues Contraste n.370 Élégance, for a simple touch of colour and healthy glow highlighting my cheekbones.
And the finishing touch: a spray of Chanel n. 5 l'Eau, a new modern, vibrant version of the traditional, glamorous and unmistakably French-style Chanel n. 5. 
To conclude my beauty report, I wish you a nice Black Friday shopping and... If you miss the chance of good bargains, tomorrow, don't worry! 
The only shopping day better than Black Friday is Cyber Monday. You just need to make a list of favourite products you want to hit first thing on Monday to upgrade your vanity just in time for the New Year. Trust me, everyone will have eyes on the best products discounted, and you won't miss your chance...
