Answers to makeup questions

I received a really well-formulated email with some make-up questions here and there, which was even attached in a pdf file! Wonderful :)

Now I thought I would answer this in a post, as surely more of you are wondering about the same things.

BB Cream
1. A BB Cream ”Blemish Balm Cream ”is something in between colored day cream and foundation, you could say. A liquid cream that gives a light opaque result, more coverage than colored day cream, but less than foundation. There are several products in one, and should replace moisturizer, primer, foundation and sun protection factor.

2. A BB Cream moisturizes and cares for the skin, and you can use it instead of day cream (I use my day cream below anyway because it is more adapted to my skin type). Depending on the brand, a BB Cream can also treat acne and pigment spots, and it can also have an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect on the skin, as well as an anti-aging effect. This is a good alternative for mature skin, but of course young people can also use this! Sun protection factor, moisture and such good ingredients are good for everyone's skin type, and if it contains anti age it is no problem either (all BB Creams do not contain it) it's just that anti age ingredients do not directly make a difference on a young skin .

3. BB Cream can e.g. be a good complement to foundation in the summer because it is a little lighter on the skin. Many people also like it because they do not need all the coverage that a foundation provides. And as I said, it is an all-in-one product that allows you to skip the other products and just have this in the bathroom cabinet, which of course is nice!

The other day I reviewed a BB Cream from Biodroga, I can recommend it! You will find the review here.

Mascara
4. I was a little extra happy with this email when you asked about my mascara in the picture. The mascara comes from the brand Paese and I will actually start selling it on creativemakeup.se! I do not know the exact date, the delivery should have arrived already, so I have to contact the supplier. But it's coming :)

I know exactly what "over-made-up feeling" you get from the mascara, because I can feel the same way when I have no other make-up than just mascara, then I would rather have a natural look. The mascara from Paese is cruel because it becomes easily natural if you apply a little while you get long separated lashes with a nice bend. And if you work more, you can also get a nice volume that is suitable for heavier eye makeup!

Another trick is to use a clean mascara brush instead of the one in the sleeve (washing and saving the brush from an old mascara works gallantly). Rub the sticky mascara brush against the clean brush so that it gets some mascara on it, and paint the lashes with it instead. Then you do not get so much mascara at once and the result is much more natural!

The mascara from Paese will cost SEK 159.

Hope you understood everything and feel that you got the answer to what you wanted :) Shout out otherwise!

Hug!

Summer make-up - Colorful summer make-up

For me who loves color, Yves Rocher's summer collection is absolutely wonderful, both the make-up and the packaging are colorful and inspiring!

Today's makeup is therefore made with a lot of these Limited Edition products, a perfect summer makeup :)

I'm starting to get a little more pli on the light / photography at my mother's home where I work now during the summer, better pictures than on my previous make-up anyway :)

The tricky thing is that I put on make-up in a room in the garage, but take photos on the terrace indoors, so I have to come up with a solution to be able to do step-by-step make-up because I can't run in and out after every eyeshadow. So you can stand without step by step until I have solved that problem!

I have used these products, of course you get inspired by just looking at everything! :)

Yves Rocher Luminelle Limited Edition Lip-gloss (Rose Vif)
Yves Rocher Luminelle Limited Edition Kajalpenna (Mediterranean Blue) (Yellow Lemon) (Red Blue)
Yves Rocher Luminelle Limited Edition Eye Shadow Trio

1. Soot the lightest golden eye shadow around the entire eye.
Then apply the eyeliner along the rows of lashes and blur the edges with a narrow make-up brush.
Finish with mascara on the upper lashes.

The green between the yellow and the turquoise eyeliner is not a new product, it is the yellow and turquoise that mix and turn green.

PUSS ON IS!

Summer nail polish from Yves Rocher

I just have to show some of Yves Rocher's Limited Edition nail polishes that are on sale this summer (May-September), so cute!

The nail polish is super small and contains 3 ml, is available in five colors and I have four of them that I can show you. Thanks to the size, the varnish costs only SEK 29 so you can treat yourself to several pieces with a clear conscience!

The colors are very rich in pigments and opaque, one layer is enough, which I think is really nice. The varnish is easy to paint, gives a nice glossy surface and dries quickly.

Midnight blue the shade Bleu Roi gives a matte but glossy result.
Glamorous pink the shade Rose Vif with extra shimmer, the varnish does not become particularly shimmery but only gets a little extra luster compared to the other varnishes.
Yellow shade the shade Yellow Lemon is a mixture between lemon yellow and banana yellow (looks a little more banana yellow in the picture than it is)
Shimmering gold nyasen Or works both alone or as shimmer on top of other nail polish.

I can not show pictures with the nail polish on the nails, as my salon nails have rhinestones on them so it is not possible to paint over, but the sister's daughter got the nails nice with the shade Bleu Roi and my toenails are already midsummer nice with the shade Rose Vif :) But they want you probably do not see pictures of haha;)

Have a wonderful start to the week you guys!

Hey corner! :)

Sorry that my blogging has been a bit half-hearted this weekend, there has been a lot about the opening of creativemakeup.se.

Today I thought (as I have planned to do during the summer) to take a little blog holiday Sunday. I have a lot of packing and administration to deal with, and it would be nice to get everything ready today so you can start on a new ball tomorrow :)

Tomorrow, all the weekend's orders will be sent, and you who shop before then have the chance to get one gift card worth SEK 300 in your package!

If you shop before 14.00, I usually get the package the same day, and then you have it the next working day if Posten takes care of itself. So you have a good chance of getting the package home before Midsummer's Eve if you shop at the beginning of next week :)

All these dresses work perfectly on Midsummer's Eve, I have such decision anxiety which I myself must have!

Wish you a nice end to the week :)
