I got this comment on the post where I showed our new lipsticks:
“Pillow talk really looks perfect! Must order it haha.
Could you show how to put on make-up when you want to look your best? So which make-up do you feel most powerful and good-looking in? I think that is interesting! ”
Great fun! I'm about 100% periodic in what I feel best in :)
If you had asked me a while ago, I would have answered something like this makeup or this makeup. Smoky eyes in brown or black (and preferably gold details!) And a medium dark color on the lips.
But right now I basically do the same makeup every day (except when I take photos step by step to the blog of course) and it is:
1. Very little eye makeup, just mascara and colorful clicks in the corner of the eye and then I do contouring around the eyes while I do the base to open up the eye a little. It goes really fast, have taken photos step by step on it further down in the post.
2. Red or dark pink lips with a very sharp edge. I put light pencil around + paint with a lip pencil or brush to get the edges as sharp as possible - and then I paint the mouth much bigger than it is.
I spend more time on my lips than on my eyes actually :)
Face primer - Paese Makeup Base (Matte)
Colored face primer - glo Tinted Primer SPF 30 (Medium)
Concealer - Pixi Pat Away Concealing Base (1 Cream)
Contouring - Contouring Palette (2)
Rouge - Blush (35)
Fixing Mist - Pixi Makeup Fixing Mist
Powder - Paese Bamboo Silk Powder
Brynpenna - glo Skin Beauty Micro Brow Liner (Ash and Little Raven)
Lipstick - glo Suede Matte Crayon (Bombshell) applied with a narrow brush
Light pencil around the lip contours - glo Eye Pencil (Peach)
A color click in the corner of the eye is the fastest way to liven up a makeup! :)
All the first steps are with the contouring shadows that I have for the face as well, from the palette Contouring Palette (2). I just dab / sweep on the contouring shadows quickly, it only takes a few seconds (not at all like when you do a proper eye shadow make-up)
- Brown shadow along the globe line
- Light eye shadow in the middle of the eyelid
- … And under the brow
- Brown shadow at the end of the lower lash line as well
- Turquoise eye shadow in the corner of the eye, Paese Opal Eyeshadow Trio (Saint Tropez)
- Black mascara on the upper lashes, Magnetic lash mascara
Clear! Not harder than that :)
Hugs are ♥
