Inspiration - Brown make-up

Brown make-up always goes home and there are so many different looks you can do with simple tricks, with gold shimmer, color clicks or just with different tones from beige to dark brown.

Here is some inspiration from my makeup archive! :)

One of my favorites in the summer is number 5 - brown with a little yellow tones that give a very warm feeling and at the same time emphasize my blue eyes! Here is the full picture of that make-up:

Wishing you a fantastic Saturday! I myself am in the choice and qualification if I am going to hang out with my sister and her friends to Öregrund and dance loose or if I run a cozy home evening in the bathtub. Part of me just wants a completely quiet evening, I was sick this week and do not want to be tired half the weekend again. While it's not summer often directly, and I have to stop being an old bore too actually!

Is it just me who suffers from this extreme decision anxiety with basically everything? Just want someone to decide for me so I don't have to haha.

Maybe posting on my insta story on my instagram Imakeyousmile.se then what I chose in the end;)

Hugs are! ♥

Today's look - All micro

Only I like love narrow micro-pens? :)

I really like painting with such make-up pencils, I feel so creative with one in my hand in some way and always want to paint more haha!

Today's look is made with micro-pencils on both eyebrows, lips and eyes, hope you like the look :)

gloMinerals Micro Brow Pencil in the shade Dark Brown I have filled in the eyebrows with, it is SO SO good! Use them here every day nowadays.

And gloMinerals Micro Eye Pencil in the shade Charcoal I have as eyeliner :) And actually a tiny bit of the brow pencil too, you can see it more clearly in the step by step collage further down in the post.

These eyeliners are so heavenly good, you can make both sharp lines and easily erase if you want a softer or smoky eyeliner. Also available in black, brown and green. Even in dark blue but it ends gloMinerals with (do not understand why it is so nice!) And we only have one left in stock now! Navy is called the shade of blue.

And my new favorite thing - eyebrow pencil on the lips! :) I can not say that this formula is perfect to use on the lips directly but I love the color, brown but very cold. I have used the same as on the eyebrows, gloMinerals Micro Brow Pencil (Dark Brown). Fint va? :)

Maybelline Master Camo Correcting Kit (Test & Review)

Maybelline recently launched two concealer palettes, or correction palettes as they call them. Maybelline Master Camo Correcting Kit (Adlink) is a palette with 6 different shades for all areas of the face.

I have received press samples of these and now thought to give you my review of the brightest palette Light!

Quite the right period to put a concealer palette to the test, during this make-up hides a lot of blemishes you should know;)

Excerpt:
"Coverage and highlighter in one place, and to avoid the guesswork of which shade does what, Maybelline has made it easy for you and marked each line with" correct "," conceal "or" highlight ". 

Master Camo ™ Color Correcting Kit helps to neutralize skin tone, blemishes and minor blemishes, it reduces dark circles under the eyes and enhances and brightens features that you want to emphasize. For perfect bass in just 3 steps! 

  • Correction palette 
  • Available in two shades ”

Text from Eleven.se.

As I said, the palette contains 6 shades that are divided into 3 categories:

Left:
Color correcting, the green removes redness and the yellow evens out other nuances. In my opinion, yellow is good for redness that is in larger areas, as green can be a bit much.

Middle: "Ordinary" concealers that cover darkness under the eyes and other irregularities in the skin. If you have pimples that are very dark red, I dab some of these on top of the green one as well to get coverage.

Right: Highlighters, one matte and one with luster.

Here you see the shades next to each other. The top three on the left are the top row of the palette and the top three on the right are the bottom row in the palette. Only realized afterwards that it was a kinky order :)

You also get a brush that I actually think is good! The included brushes are otherwise often throw-away material, but this was saved.

1. Correct
I think the yellow concealer works well, it neutralizes without you needing much. Not directly comprehensive but that is not the purpose either.

The green is I do not think it mixes easily enough with the skin to work on pimples in practice. Either it becomes too green and light or you smear it away from the fins completely.

But if you mix these and then apply, it works better! As I said, not directly covering, but then they neutralize well.

2. Conceal
These are more opaque and a little thicker in texture. I only used the light of these concealers, because the lower one that is darker is crazy too dark for me now. But it is good with two so that you can mix a perfect shade, and still match even if you get a tan / winter light, etc.

I used this under the eyes and a little more on the pimples, because I needed more coverage over the correct creams.

I would not call these wow concealers, you have to work a little with them so that they spread evenly, but they are not bad either. Can, however, emphasize dryness a little.

3. Highligher
I think the matte highlighter is good, it is not particularly bright on my skin tone but a little, which I think is just right for a product like this. I applied it on the cheekbones and along the bridge of the nose, the middle of the forehead, under the eyebrows and on the chin. It is also lighter in texture and easier to spread.

The one with luster is nice but not directly special, I think, such a not-very-good-and-not-very-bad-product.

This is what the result looks like before foundation and everything else.
I do not think it is a wow result.

The end result with the finished make-up then turned out to be very nice, but after just concealer, I think you can clearly see where you put concealer and not when the products as a whole do not blend into the skin very well, even though you tone out the creams.

Here you see before, after the whole palette and then after foundation, eyebrows and everything.

Summary: I would probably give the final grade 2.5, but if I have to choose between 2 and 3, it will probably be 2. The palette is fun and well composed, but the creams do not glide on the skin as silky as you want it and the result is not very natural either . But the end result with foundation over and all, each concealer does its job and they last well all day, so do not think the palette is bad either. Especially not for the price of 119: -.

I personally love playing with concealers and was super eager to find a palette like this that is slightly better in quality. Some tips? :) Do you like concealer palettes or are you more like me, use a concealer for just about everything so that it is quick and easy?

Anyway, wish you a great start to the new week! ♥

Eyebrow plucking & coloring

I love that you love when I show before and after pictures of my clients from the salon, and not only make-up but also eyebrow changes, because I think it is very fun to show :)

Here is one of my latest eyebrow makeovers:

With a little color, bright eyebrows can be enormously much fuller and also wider, really satisfied customer who got well-shaped eyebrows before the summer :)

We are very fully booked at the moment (so much fun!) And have taken in extra hours several days now before midsummer and they are also completely full, wonderful! Summer is the most booked time with us, so book in time if you want a specific day or time, as it looks today, we have barely a single gap left in June and the first week in July so it can be difficult to get an appointment with short notice.

I personally do not have many hours open for online booking, but if you call us on 018 10 50 13 and want to book with me, you can arrange, or email me at helena@creativemakeup.se it also works. I work with so much else, which is why I can not be bookable online.

Get in touch if you have any questions! ♥

Summer makeup - Beach Waves

I really love colorful make-up, not least now in the summer for a light outfit and for my part also a little more tan skin tone, so nice :)

Today's make-up is a real splash of color with tropical shades on the eyes and bright pink lips, love it! I matched it all with a white tank top and light sand-colored pants that are open on the sides. A real summer ping!

Hope you are inspired!
