Vegas Inspired Make-up | Vegas.com

I am participating in a challenge created by Vegas.com . The challenge is to create a makeup look that can follow through from day to night. If you're interested in going to Vegas then you should check out the Package deals at Vegas.com.

My Tips

-Make sure to use a primer before putting your makeup on in the morning.

-Wear makeup setting spray.

-Put a lipstick, mascara and eyeliner in your bag.

-Make sure to take off your makeup on the night and to moisturise your skin after wearing your makeup for so long.

My first place I have chosen to inspire my makeup look, for the day time, is The Bellagio Resort. My look will try to be shining like the lights of the resort using highlighter and eyeshadow. The Bellagio Resort is described as 'The epitome of quality, romance and elegance on the Las Vegas Strip, the Bellagio offers luxurious rooms, gourmet restaurants and upscale shopping along with a healthy dose of cultural enlightenment.' 

My Makeup Look

I used Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 'Fair' under my eyes and to cover any spots. I decided not to use any foundation because it would be heavy on my face in the desert that is Las Vegas. I used Makeup Revolution 'Golden Sugar' blush palette. If you have seen one of my previous posts on the palette then I used the shades that I named 'Rose Moon' with 'Peppa' over the top. I used 'jazz' on my cheekbones to give a warm, rosy look. On my eyes I used collection 'No Clumps' mascara, followed by Avon Colourtrend mascara to boost the volume. The eyeshadows I used were from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. I used 'Nooner' in the crease of my eye and then filled in the centre of my eyelid with 'Limit' and a bit of 'Burnout' over the top to make it sparkle. To make the look a bit more 'glamorous' I added my trustworthy Seventeen 'High Drama Liquid Liner'.

My second place that I have chosen, for my night time inspiration, is Hyde Nightclub at the Bellagio resort. This is definitely a place to put makeup to the test. The Hyde nightclub is described as an 'Indoor-Outdoor nightclub overlooking the fountains overlooking Bellagio'.

My Makeup Look

I used the same concealer and blush ,but this time I used 'Stardust' as a highlighter. On my eyes, I used the same mascaras but used the Collection 'No Clumps' on my bottom lashes. I used Lacura Beauty eyeliner in the colour 'smoke' on my waterline. Again I used eyeshadows from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. This time, I used 'Darkside' in the crease and then 'Liar' across the rest of my eyelid. I also used my Seventeen 'High Drama Liquid Eyeliner' again and did a flick.

Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Blush First Impressions

This is the amazing Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Blush Palette. I mean seriously how amazingly pretty is this! I have been wanting this for so long and when I went on a shopping trip with my friends the other week, I saw this whilst in Superdrug but I had already spent all my money. I later went shopping with my mum and saw it again. This time I was prepared and had all £6. That's right. This was only £6. For all 8 shades!

I love the packaging for the product. I like that it looks so sleek, the rose gold lettering makes it seem more professional and interesting.

The back of the box has a preview of the shades inside. In my opinion the pictures don't do the shades any justice because you can't see their dazzling shine or pigmentation.

The palette itself sticks to the sleek minimalistic vibe and also has metallic lettering.

First Row

The shades don't have names which is a bit sad. So instead whilst I talk about them, I will give them names to refer to them. I pronounce this one to be 'stardust'

. This highlight is gorgeous and is super pigmented and reflects really well in the light.

I call this one 'Peppa' after Peppa Pig. Peppa is quite a light pink and is the most pink toned out of all the blushers. This also has a lovely shimmer.

This one I call 'rose moon'. Rose moon is a bit more purple toned than Peppa and again has high quality pigmentation and  a gorgeous shimmer.

This one I call 'golden sand'. Golden Sand is very reflective and would look great with a tan to make you seem like a golden goddess (not that this would even happen to me because I would look like a tomato).

The shades I have shown are quite subtle but have an amazing shine to them. In order from left to right: Moonshine, Peppa, Rose Moon, Golden Sand

Second Row

This one I call 'Jupiter'. Jupiter is more of a nudey brown colour and is more subtle than the other brown shades.

This one I call 'jazz'. I adore this one. The sparkle from this one is enough to burn your eyes out, in a good way (if that is possible). This is the most purple toned shade and as you might be able to tell by my slight exaggeration, it is so beautifully shiny.

This one I call 'carrat'. Carrat is quite a golden brown, almost like Golden Sand but more brown toned. 

This one I call 'Matty Healy'. Matty is the only matte shade in the palette and is a brown shade that is useful for contouring.

These shades are the darker shades. In order from left to right: Jupiter, Jazz, Carrat, Matty Healy.
