I had two Christmas parties on the same day, and this is the look I chose for the occasion. It's a classic red lip and winged liner, with a pop of gold on the lids. It was quite simple to create, and I was happy with the final result. Here is a list of the products I used.....

After priming the lids, I used white as the brow bone highlight.
Taupe was blended into the crease as a transition color. I love this color, and use it often.
I used a small pencil brush and applied gold to the inner 1/3 and outer 1/3 of my lid, leaving the center of my lid with no product.
I used a flat shadow brush, that I wetted with setting spray, and applied champagne to the center of the lid.
I blended a small amount of sable to the outer crease.
For the upper lash line, I went with a black liner that I winged out.
For the bottom lash line, I used the small pencil brush and applied the gold shadow as a liner. I used the champagne color in the inner corner and bottom of the inner lash line for a nice highlight.
To finish this look, I applied two - three coats of the Tarte mascara, followed by two coats of the cover girl. I did one coat of the cover girl on the bottom lashes.
