<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I'm focussing on anything and everything to do with sequins and sparkles. Like I said <a href="http://thechroniclesofher.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/choosing-right-makeup-for-your-outfit.html" style="font-weight: bold;">here</a>, too many girls seem to think if they're going all out by wearing a fully sequined number that they should apply this same enthusiasm to their face. Wrong.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my little imaginary book of makeup do's and don't's, anything super sparkly should be accompanied by a fresh face with barely-there makeup. This keeps the focus on the sparkles and minimises the disco trash bag status. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To create this look I started with my favourite base - <span style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.clinique.com/product/1599/5276/NEW-Even-Better-Makeup-SPF15/index.tmpl" style="font-weight: bold;">Clinique even better foundation</a>.</span> I concealed under my eyes and around my nose with <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.meccacosmetica.com.au/shop/EllisFaas/Concealer/">Ellis Faas concealer</a></b> and then added colour to my cheeks with the <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/color/multi-use/~/the-multiple">Nars multipurpose cream colour</a> </b><span style="text-align: center;">stick.</span> To create glowing skin, I pressed <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/product/shaded/156/316/Cream-Colour-Base/index.tmpl" style="text-align: center;"><b>M.A.C cream colour base</b></a> onto my cheekbones and the inner corners of my eyes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To define the eyes, I began by getting my brows in shape with my <span style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ecotools.com/bamboo-lash-brow-groomer" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Ecotools brow comb</a>.</span> I used <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.clinique.com.au/product/1595/8417/Makeup/Brows/Instant-Lift-For-Brows/index.tmpl">Clinique instant lift for brows</a></b> to fill in the gaps and add a reflective line on my brow bone (it has two ends!). I then applied <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/product/152/19389/Products/Eyes/Mascara/False-Lashes-Extreme-Black/index.tmpl">M.A.C false lashes extreme black mascara</a></b> and completed the look with my absolute favourite product right now - <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.clinique.com.au/product/1603/4772/Makeup/Lip-Glosses/Almost-Lipstick/index.tmpl">Clinique almost lipstick</a></b> in Black Honey.
