Frost and Daylight Madonna

Saturday was a beautiful day. It has been raining a lot lately and the weather has been quite awful but this day was a winter day. It was below zero degrees Celsius and there was night frost on the trees. I was going Christmas shopping and on the bus the window was covered with ice crystals. I managed to take a photo of it with my cell phone.


I was in a great Christmas mood and first I wanted to wear holiday colors like gold and cranberry on my eyes. But the cold inspired me to bring out the Ready-To-Wear Makeup Clutch For Eyes And Lips in 001 Daylight Madonna from Christian Dior (long name there). It contains light pastel colors in pink and gray and the colors are on the cold side, almost like the colors an ice queen would wear.


I think that this is the most luxurious palette that I own. I bought the palette this summer at a sale in NK, a luxury department store here in Sweden. I got it for 50% off so I got it for a reasonable price.
I am glad though that I got it on sale and didn't pay full price for it. The colors are light and for me a little bit on the chalky side. The thing that I don't like is that it's hard to distinguish between the colors when they are on the lid. For an expensive line like Christian Dior I expect more that this to be honest.

Here is a picture of the eye makeup that I wore. You can't see the colors that well and that's my point. I used three colors on the lid but it is impossible to see. I mixed the color on the far left of the palette with Wedge e/s from MAC and used it in the crease so that there would be somewhat more of a difference in color from the lid.

This is what I used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance as a base
MUS eye pencil in Snowflake to brighten the inner corner of the eye.
Christian Dior palette mention above on lid and in the crease
Wedge e/s from MAC in the crease
Brulé e/s from MAC as a highlight on the browbone
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in 1999 as an eyeliner.
Imju Fiberwig Mascara
