You know when you are veeeeeery tired and your eyes barely open? I am guilty as charged of now having enough sleep, staying late on school nights and maybe having the odd cocktail when I should really be in bed.
Although it cannot alleviate my physical symptoms of tiredness, the right beige liner will make you at least acceptable to be seen in public.
Much less harsh than the white, the well known eye opener, beige, or nude, will have a similar effect in a much more natural looking way.
Usually, I just line my lower waterline, but you can do the upper too for extra openness. And it works a treat.
I first discovered it using the multi-tasking NYX Wonder Pencil.
Recently, I encountered the Jelly Pong Pong Bare Necessities Highlighter pencil, which also doubles up on other parts of the face.
Eyeshadow base, highlighter, waterliner, concealer…. the soft formula, enriched with natural extracts will ave you covered.
This is a lovely, sightly pinkier shade than my NYX one, so I alternate the use, depending on the mood.
In all honesty, I just don’t use them only when I need to hide the night before, but every time I am focussing on eyes, especially if I have a dark smokey on.
And I will reach for one of those two keep my antics well concealed. Most of the time…
The NYX Wonder Pencil costs £4.50 and the Jelly Pong Pong Bare Necessities highlighter pencil, £14.95.
2015. What a fabulous year for the blog. I never expected all the amazing things that happened, brands, products and, above all, people I met.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Love bite lipstick: usually a finish I don’t go for, a kind of lustre, but oh, boy, this is pretty. An orange red, with a fab sheen, but not too much, and great durability.
And a special mention to my favourite budget highlighter: 
I started this outfit with the shoes. There. I said it. I fell in love with these lovely boy-ish brogues in silver leather and cow’s hair (yes, how amazing is that?) from Office and had to style it.
The fabric is thicker and slightly textured; the trousers are super wearable. Although the sleeves are shorter than 3/4, it looks great under a little jacket! Also, I love the little buttoned up details on the back and the small roll neck.
Bag wise, as I went for another little bit of quirk, I opted for my gorgeous Lulu Guinness Lips clutch, in black. I’ve wanted a LG lips clutch for forever, so I am glad I got one to call my own!
For the colder days, a fur coat, which is another obsession of mine. This one is short, from H&M, a discreet black ombré, with purple-burgundy “roots”.
