midsummer makeup tutorial

1. Tape a piece of tape to the side of the eye, feel free to use a freezer tape or similar that is not as sticky as regular tape.
Apply eyeshadow primer on the entire eyelid, Pixi Eye Bright Primer.
2. Paint with one brown eyeliner along the tape and a bit into the eyelid, Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen (Bronze Beam)
3. Fade the eyeliner so that the edges are softly toned, Nanshy Pencil Brush.
4. Remove the tape and it will be this nice :)
5. White eye shadow innermost on the eyelid and in the corner of the eye, Paese Kashmir Eyeshadow (601) applied with Nanshy Tapered Crease Brush.
6. Same white eye shadow as a line where the piece of tape sat before, applied with Nanshy Angled Details Brush.
7. Black mascara on all lashes, Makiash Volume & Length Mascara

Bright and summery but still a bit special and lovely! I was really eager to add a color click somewhere, it would have been so nice. But I stayed here anyway in the end :)

Mingle with the make-up brand Makiash

2

The day before yesterday I was in Stockholm where Presskontakterna had an event with Makiash - a make-up brand that has only been on the market since January 2014 if I remember correctly.

It is so inspiring to listen to people who are passionate about what they do, who have started something themselves from scratch and who prioritize quality over spitting out lots of products that sell just because they are nice or cheap. I love listening to the thoughts about the different products and how they have thought with all the details, really fun :)

IMG_5777_111

The basic idea around Makiash is to create products with the help of experience from models, who know the importance of how important it is with makeup that lasts well. The idea is that the people should "stand out" and be emphasized, not the make-up.

Makiash is a classy and nice brand, I have not tested so much myself (yet, will dive into my goodie bag as soon as possible!) But what I have tested I have liked and the quality of everything feels very good I must say.

In my eyes, the range is a bit boring, or basic is a better word choice maybe because everything is very, very nice. So for those of you who like classic shades and simple products, but who maintain high quality, you should take an extra look Makiash and check out their products! :)

After the event, I took a walk in the sun on the streets of Stockholm (with the GPS that screamed in my purse when I was about to turn haha) and went from Östermalm to Slussen where I met Nicolin! Oh what I want to live closer to Stockholm every time I meet her, becomes so rare now.

We ate two cheeseburgers on foot while we crawled to Mosebacke and sat down and talked shit, with the incredible view of Stockholm next to us, huur cozy at any time!

So my end on Tuesday felt more like a Friday and now my perception of time on weekdays is complete chaos, and yesterday I panicked at 10 o'clock when I realized that "help me to be at Creative Make Up today!" before I thought about it and realized that no it's not until tomorrow, pjuuh.

So today I have had a full day at the salon which is always just as nice, never meet so many blog readers as here :) Now I go home and sleep with my mother overnight, when Miska is away fishing for two days and I am dependent on others people to be able to sleep by themselves.

Now I'm going to stop chatting. Hope you have a great evening! ♥

Decorate your arms this summer!

As you know, I currently have a collaboration with Klockmaster at Forumgallerian in Uppsala, and today there is only one week left on the campaign! So now all of you can get a 20% discount on TRIWA watches no matter where you live :)

I have found my style for the summer anyway - Nothing adorns the arms as nicely (and simply) as gold tattoos, nicely painted nails and a nice watch!

IMG_4861_111

I have become quite lazy when it comes to jewelry, I rarely have the strength to wear lots of bracelets, rings and knick-knacks, even though I think it is incredibly beautiful. So nice rubbing tattoos and a beautiful rose gold watch is the perfect way for me to spruce up my arms a little extra this summer :) And of course nicely painted nails and some tattoos on my fingers for that too, wonderful!

And apart from the fact that it's nice to avoid the hanging jewelery that slides around, I have to admit that I have actually got a completely different view of this with a watch on my arm. I saw it before only as a super nice piece of jewelry, but the phase it is practical too!

My mother looked at me askance when I exclaimed the other day. ”So heavenly nice !! Now I do not have to bring out my mobile phone every time I have to check the watch, especially in social contexts as it feels like everyone thinks you check Facebook as soon as you pick up the phone. So heavenly smooth after all. What a pure invention this really is !!“Kind of like it was something new haha.

Gold tattoos and gold watch, and my bright red nails also match the lipstick, well thought out;) Hard to get a nice picture of the tattoos though, they reflect the flash so much.

Products I used:
Clock - TRIWA Rose Lansen Chrono
Tattoos - Lulu dk Tattoos (Blue Lagoon)
Nail polish - Yves Rocher Gel effect Lacquer Rose Vif
Lipstick - Yves Rocher Radiant Lip Crayon Tangerine intense

The rosy tone in the watch is so heavenly nice to the hair color in the lengths as well. Monica who dyed my hair said the same thing "wow how beautiful your watch is for the hair!" the was not well thought out though haha :)

So - enter "TRIWA Spring Campaign" at the checkout at Klockmaster in Uppsala (Forumgallerian) and you will get a 20% discount on Ivory Lansen Chrono and Rose Lansen Chrono, ie the rose gold watch I have in the pictures and the same model fixed in silver.

Or shop online! click here to trade the silvery, and here to buy the rose gold!

Have a wonderful day now everyone ♥

Atacama makeup

Yesterday I was in Stockholm for a turn and felt too little color in my eyes!

So I used Paese Opal Eyeshadow in the shade Atacama, which contains very nice green tones, loves combos of light lime green, and then earthy green tones that go a little to beige and gray, become so nice together and colorful in a mild and gloomy way.

In addition, I love green for my new hair color - which I received a lot of compliments for yesterday actually, even from a stranger in town! :)

Hope you like the look!
