I’ve opened the LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar so you can see exactly what’s inside

There are so many beauty advent calendars around, so I’m always curious to see whether the products are actually worth having and whether I’d use them beyond December.

Would you buy this one, or is there another beauty calendar you’ve got your eye on? 👇🏼

Im so obsessed with how this lip combo turned out. I started by using the intense lip liner to define the shape of my lip and then blurred it out with my finger. Then I filled out the body of my lip with the lipeaze blur liner which is so creamy and easy to blend. Finally I topped it with the glossed glaze lipgloss in the shade super n**e and allllll for just £10. And I got them all in

MUA lipeaze lip blur liner £2.25
MUA intense colour lip liner £3.50
MUA glossed glaze lipgloss - super n**e £4.25

For me, a good powder should set the makeup without taking away everything I’ve worked to create underneath - I still want skin to look like skin.

I used Brightening Peach, and I love how it softens and blurs while still keeping that natural, skin-like finish. No heavy, overly powdered look- just beautifully perfected skin.

As a makeup artist, this is exactly the kind of finish I’m looking for both on myself and in my kit.

Gucci SS27-inspired makeup, but make it a little more lived-in.

I wanted to recreate that smoky, imperfect eye and barely-there skin from the runway, so I finally stopped thinking about it and sat down to play.

Not an everyday look, not a new signature style - just a fun excuse to use some different palettes and create something outside my usual routine.

Let me know what you think in the comments below ✨

A little Superdrug browse that turned into me finding some seriously good bits 👀

The lip combo I’m wearing is from Morphe, featuring the Morphe Sculpt Wear Long-Lasting Crayon, and I had to show you where to find it - plus I spotted one of their little 6-pan eyeshadow palettes for £16 and it’s SO good.

Compact, wearable shades, really versatile and the kind of palette you’d actually use every day rather than reaching for two shades and ignoring the rest 😂

Definitely worth a look next time you’re in .

Save this for your next beauty shop 🤍

Foundation that perfects the skin… without hiding it

Trying the new YSL Cushion Foundation and this is exactly the kind of base I naturally gravitate towards - lightweight, fresh and luminous, with enough coverage to even out the complexion while still letting real skin show through.

As a makeup artist, the finish will always be one of the biggest things I look for in a foundation, and I LOVE how this sits on the skin.

The half-face comparison says it all 🤌🏼

Okay this is SUCH a good little K-Beauty find 👀✨

I spotted the K-Beauty Advent in LOOKFANTASTIC - 12 products, worth around £145, for £50.

And it’s not one of those sets where I wouldn’t actually use half of it 😂 There are products in here I already genuinely love and use, including the Beauty of Joseon eye cream, Medicube pore pads and a Biodance sheet mask.

Such a good way to try some of the K-Beauty products everyone’s talking about without buying everything full size individually.

If you want to have a proper look at exactly what’s inside, just comment K-BEAUTY and I’ll send you the exact link 🤍

Had a little trip to the store in Altrincham and obviously had to investigate the new blushes 👀

The Insatiable blushes are so gorgeous, can't wait to try them properly!

Then I spotted the cutest mini lip liners and honestly, anything in miniature gets me every time. 5 of them for £14. What a bargain.

Consider this your sign to go and have a little swatch in store 🤍
