New Year's Eve Budget Make-Up Tutorial


A relatively simple and budget proof make-up tutorial for a New Year's Eve look. Mostly using ELF products or products that are available at a lot of drugstores. An article on the ELF 100 eyeshadow palette will be online soon. I swatched every single one of the colors this afternoon. I have a trashcan full of babywipes to prove it.

Anyway, let me know what you think about the look and if you'll be wearing special make-up for New Year's eve. I'm going to a party in a club with my boyfriend, best friend and a few other friends. I'm so excited for NYE!

You can spend all the money you'd like on getting good quality make-up , but if you're not using brushes (for example, you're using the unsanitary sponge applicators that come with some eyeshadows, ew) or you're not using the right brushes, you'll still look like a clown.

Now, I do not believe that the only good make-up brushes will set you back betweem 40 and 60 dollars, like MAC brushes. MAC brushes are a joy to work with, for I have tried them at a friends' house, but I don't think MAC or Sigma brushes are the only good ones out there.

Most of the brushes I own are from here, Zoeva makes great brush sets, recommended by quite a few people on YouTube and the Dutch beauty website Beautygloss. I bought the Bamboo set for €20 about six months ago, recently they renewed the set and took out the eyebrow comber and replaced it with a crease brush, also it became a tiny bit more expensive for it is now €22. Still, it's a great price for quite some brushes of honest to God good quality.

After the jump I'll tell you a little bit about my favourite brushes and why I use them and think they're important, also I'll show you my handmade brush roll, of which I'm super proud.
