Smokey eyes and glasses

Makeup tips

-

Feb 18, 2016

Something you can wear in the back of your head when you put on make-up and wear glasses, is that a party make-up that feels "very made-up" without glasses can feel just right when you put on a pair of frames that take over a little focus.

And in my opinion, there is almost nothing nicer than smokey eyes and glasses, so heavenly nice! In my post Smokey eyes - Teal as I showed here the other day, I took photos without glasses because the make-up is better visible then, but the fact is that all day at the salon I actually had a polo shirt, glasses with black, marked frames and that sooting. Love the contrasts! :)

You can have almost as much make-up around your eyes as you like, and it still looks like an everyday make-up with glasses and an everyday outfit.

The underside of the eyes
Something else I usually think about as well (which partly depends a bit on what shape you have on the frames, but it fits almost everyone) is that you like to put quite a lot of focus on the underside of the eyes.

If you look at my eyes with glasses, the top of the eyes disappears a little behind the frames, so if you want a make-up that is visible and "pops out", do not be afraid to put make-up on the underside of the eyes where the frames do not cover :) out without glasses becomes perfect when you put on the glasses.

Color
Here I also have green on the underside, a color helps to highlight the eyes even more effectively!

Lips
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to makeup and glasses, but the last thing I want to say is that if you have a strong eye makeup and dark frames, do not forget to reflect on the lips as well. It is not wrong not to make up the lips, but if you want more balance in the face, put a color on the lips as well so that all focus does not end up in the same place on the face.

If you do not want anything on the lips, you can put a little extra blush on the cheeks instead (not a must either) to create more balance and harmony in the face :)

Now I, Miska and Annika will go out to dinner in town, after a hard day's work :) Hope you all have a nice evening too!

Make Up Store Beauty Show 2016

Event

I love being invited to events with Make Up Store, it is always just as fun and nicely arranged! Yesterday they had their Beauty Show 2016 with looks for spring and summer, a show with a total of six different themes that was a fun mix of romantic, playful, exotic, beautiful and really cool make-up.

I went there with Frida, and on the spot we met up Helen and Matthias also as both will vlog about the show on their Youtube channels later, you have to check it out :)

Offers a little picture bomb from the evening!

And afterwards it was dinner on Fridays!

I slept with Frida last night, incredibly luxurious! She thought it was luxurious with a goodie bag and bubble in the evening, and I thought it was luxurious not to have to leave Gimo this morning but woke up in Uppsala and could GO to work, really nice :)

And when I got to work I ran straight into Miska's arms haha, so used to being with each other 24/7 and waking up, working, falling asleep together so every time we do not sleep together I become a needy confirmation junkie who wants him to hug me until I crack #sjukihuvet;)

But now I will dive into the goodie bag and do a fun make-up with the new products!

Hope you have a great day ♥

Permanent makeup & alopecia

There are eyebrows, and so there are eyebrow!

Annika had a customer yesterday, a young guy with alopecia (lost all his hair) who did permanent makeup on his eyebrows at a salon in Örebro. When you have an illness and receive permanent makeup via the County Council (common for people with alopecia, among other things, or who have been treated with cytotoxic drugs), you must not choose a salon yourself but must go to one in the municipality.

But when you do not have a single hair yourself, it is not quite easy to get a pair of beautiful eyebrows with a tattoo, especially not if you also want natural and less well-shaped than what women often want. It should look natural and unmade up, and blend in well even though the person in question has neither hair on his head nor eyelashes.

So, the result at the salon in Örebro was not so good. Not a disaster but the color was good and the straws were easy to tattoo over. But the whole thing was not good-looking. It looked like two dark spots at the beginning of the brow, which Annika does not think is shaded on purpose but that it has flowed out and been a bit blurred possibly because the tattoo artist has gone too deep, and then the rest of the straws are quite neatly placed as well.

But it was no match for Annika;) Look how nice it turned out:

Annika said that if you looked closely at the old tattoo you saw that it almost looked like small scars, the lines were like cuts in the skin, which is probably because blading (when you tattoo with a kind of knife and not a tattoo machine) is not equally gentle on the skin. Not everyone who does blading gets like this, but on this tattoo it looked like small cuts in the skin.

The result will be a little brighter and not quite as sharp after healing, hopefully I can take a picture before the return visit later so you will see what it looks like then :)

Difference huh? She's so good Annika!

If you have any questions, you know that it's just shouting! ♥

Refilling Nanshy!

Reviews & Product Tips

Nanshy is a brand from England that manufactures high quality makeup brushes, which are both vegan and cruelty-free. No animal hair has been used but everything is synthetic!

It does not matter how good products you have, if you have bad make-up brushes it is not easy to get a nice make-up :)

All makeup brushes are white and incredibly nice and luxurious, the kabuki brush that I have already sold for a while is black, and it has sold a lot already and been very popular (It is unfortunately out of stock at the supplier but is expected to arrive in March) :)

Now they are also available for purchase in black, I have brought in some sets for you who prefer black brushes. You will find them HERE!

Another thing that is very good with the brushes is that they stand on the shaft of everyone what they are for, so you buy a few pieces and have a hard time memorizing in the beginning what everyone is for, so just look at the shaft!

Here are all 7 makeup brushes for the eyes, and these are therefore partly available to buy as one set for SEK 449 (Available in both white and black), but can also be purchased separately for SEK 99 each.

Precise Bent Eyeliner Brush - A curved and narrow brush for applying eyeliner, makes it easy to access and see the lash line while painting.
Angled Detailer Brush - A narrow sent brush for small areas such as the lash lines, as well as the eyebrows.
Flat Definer Brush - A flat and straight brush that can both be used on the width to e.g. apply eyeshadow and eyeshadow primer, or on the side for straight and fine lines, e.g. on the lower lash line or for a sharp cat eye.
Blending Eyeshadow Brush - A soft brush that both works to apply eye shadow (on large areas) and fade it.
Eye Crease Brush - A rounded fading brush that is perfect for the globe line.
Tapered Crease Brush - A smaller rounded brush that is good both for applying eye shadow and fading it on smaller areas, e.g. at the end of the eyelid, out of the corner of the eye and along the lower lash line.
Large Shader Brush - A large and soft fade brush that refines your fades and makes them even softer and nicer.

Here are the make-up brushes for basic make-up, quite compact and incredibly smooth and soft on the face, absolutely wonderful and great for a flawless basic make-up! This set costs SEK 449 (available in both white and black), and if you want to buy single brushes, they cost SEK 149 each.

Flawless Foundation - Used to apply foundation, both liquid and powder form.
Buffed Base - Used either for mineral foundation or to apply powder products on smaller areas, e.g. highlighter on chin, cheekbones and forehead.
Blush & Bronze - Used for bronzer and blush, perfect for shaping the face.
Conceal Perfector - Great for applying concealer or a little extra foundation on areas that need more coverage. It comes in handy in small places such as under the eyes and around the nostrils.
Angled Airbrush - Used to apply powder and get a perfect final touch on the base, especially good for fixing a liquid foundation by lightly pressing the powder with this brush. Also great for smoothing out any bumps on bronzer and blush.

Nanshy Masterful Collection Pearlescent (Available in both white and black) is the most luxurious and useful set that contains makeup brushes for both eyes, face and lips! A few of the brushes for eye make-up are similar to the other sets, but in addition to them, this is a completely unique set with completely different brushes. For example. a large and fluffy powder brush and more fluffy smaller face brushes for blush and sun powder.

This set costs SEK 799!

Liner - A thin eyeliner brush that easily gives sharp and straight lines.
Angled Details - An oblique, flat brush with many uses, perfect for eyebrows and small details such as eyeliner and eye shadow along the lash lines. Great for getting a nice shading under the eye.
Blending - A soft and rounded brush that is perfect for a nice fade along the globe line. Also good for applying highlighter on smaller areas of the face, e.g. along the nasal bone.
Shader - Perfect brush to get nice and soft tones on the eye shadow.
Crease - A rounded brush that works well both for applying and fading eye shadow, great for fading eye shadow along the crease line before using the "blending brush".
Pencil - A slightly more compact rounded make-up brush that is perfect for fading out small areas, e.g. eye shadow under the eyes or if you want to get the eyeliner more smoky.

Foundation - An oblique, flat brush for foundation. Great for liquid foundation all over the face (also goes well under the eyes and around the nose). Also works well for applying concealer or highlighter on smaller areas of the face.
Contouring - A soft and oblique make-up brush that is perfect for bronzer and blush.
Powder - A large, fluffy and soft makeup brush that is wonderful when applying powder.
Blush - A fluffy and soft makeup brush that is great for applying blush or powder on smaller areas.
Stippling - A wonderful foundation brush that provides a lot of coverage and works the foundation properly into the skin for a natural and even result. Be light on the hand and work with circular movements over the skin, then the foundation will enter all small irregularities such as pores and wrinkles.

Lip - A lip brush is both more hygienic and easy to use instead of applying with the lip product directly on the lips. Gives sharp and even lip contours! Has an included metal sleeve so that the brush does not smudge in the make-up bag before washing it.

Kabuki brush (It is currently out of stock but is expected to arrive at the supplier in March.) Is a soft and fluffy makeup brush that is specially adapted to apply mineral foundation and powder. Absolutely wonderful if you ask me! :)

I am completely in love with this makeup brush brand, nice, soft and really good brushes! :)
