This was much needed because I had fallen into a real make up slump - relying on the bare minimum to get me through the school run.
You may also notice there is no foundation in this routine. This is because the snow and cold weather absolutely ravages my sensitive-combination skin. While the t-zone still produces oil - albeit at a much slower rate- the rest of my face, particularly cheeks, really suffer with extreme dryness and rosacea. I am yet to find a suitable foundation that is both moisturising and feels comfortable on the skin without sliding off the oily parts so I often forego foundation and just dot concealer on the worst areas and add a touch of Chanel's creamy bronzer - Soleil Tan De Chanel to warm up the skin and hide my deathly pallor!

Tom Ford Brow Sculptor - Taupe
Tom Ford Silvered Topaz Eyeshadow Quad
Tom Ford Extreme Mascara - Raven
Tom Ford Cheek Colour - Love Lust
Tom Ford Nude Vanille Lip Colour
Tom Ford Sugar Pink Ultra Shine Lip Gloss
This is an incredibly quick and easy look but still looks bright and fresh faced. The Silvered Topaz quad is a collection of four beautiful shades that blend together beautifully and can be worn as an everyday look excluding the top left glittery shade, or for a more dramatic smoky, glittery evening look.
To finish off the eyes I added a couple of coats of the Extreme Mascara in Raven. A very nice mascara indeed, but does require several coats to make a real impact.
Love Lust cheek colour, as described in this post, gives the cheeks a radiant flush of pinky-peach and due to the glow, you don't need a separate highlighter.
Nude Vanille is a gorgeously creamy, very pale peach toned nude lipstick that can border on conealer-lip colour depending on skintone. I can wear it much more easily in the winter months when I am paler...with a tan it looks to stark in contrast to the rest of my skin.
To warm the lips up a little, I added a coat of Sugar Pink Ultra Shine Lipgloss, the most beautifully creamy barbie pink gloss.

Firstly, I need to find myself a nice winter foundation - please recommend if you know of any for sensitive-combination, dehydrated skin.
