Dolled -up m a g a z i n e
Welcome to the first issue of DolledUp Magazine. I have always been lusting over a magazine based solely on beauty, and so thought, ‘why not create my own?’. Hopefully I can inspire you to try new techniques and products, and make sure you never buy a dissapointing beauty item ever again. Enjoy!

Get The Look
A victoria’s secret spin on classic christmas party makeup Apply a gold, shimmery eyeshadow to the lid and pop a matte dark brown in the crease. We used a Sleek palette which is incredibly affordable and good quality. Time for the base. Use a glowy foundation like YSL’s Touche Eclat, to get that gorgeous party glow. Add a plum blush and don’t be afraid to contour. To finish off the look apply a deep, red wine lipstick that will last all night - try a YSL Rouge Pur Couture lippy.
Budget vs High-End
Our designer, Dani, went out to try two of the latest highlighters on the market, here’s her thoughts.
Product: Makeup Revolution Radiant Lights Palette Price: £8 Thoughts: “This is stunning. There’s three shades to suit every look and they give you a beautiful, subtle glow.” Rating: 9/10
Vs Product: Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Price: £22.50 Thoughts: “This is way too glittery! Highlighters need to be subtle, in my opinion, and this is just too much.” Rating: 3/10
