Apologies for not getting any Saturday makeup today, I have been busy enjoying this wonderful Advent weekend! :)

Frida knocked on the door early this morning, and it was already standing the breakfast buffet set up and the kitchen full of lit candles!

Part of the reason is that Frida and I are incredible The mystery of Greveholm fans. Every year we say “what a bad Christmas calendar, they can not just rebroadcast The Mystery on Greveholm. ” So this morning we had the premiere of the sequel that has finally arrived! Nerds, yep yep;)

First Christmas ham sandwich too, yummy!

Coffee, gingerbread and the Greveholm Marathon.

So my wonderful Christmas tree came out too! ♥

Now it's time to cook 3 courses and continue this wonderful Saturday!

Have a nice evening nice ones!

All you have to do is visit the website EverydayMeijina, and choose which three lashes you want!

Make-up The color circle

To immerse myself in yesterday's post about color combinations, that it is easiest to blur together two colors lying next to each other in the color circle, so I felt a little funny and did a color circle make-up with all the colors!

If you did not understand yesterday, I hope you understand now! :)

Yellow–Orange–RED–Pink–PurpleBlue–Green-Yellow

All eyeshadows are from Eleven 180 Palette.

Yellow eye shadow in the corner of the eye.
Orange eye shadow on the inside of the eyelid.
RED eye shadow in the middle of the eyelid.
Pink eye shadow at the end of the eyelid.
Purple eye shadow at the end of the lower lash line and along the globe line.
Blue eye shadow in the middle of the lower lash line.
Green eye shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line.

Will probably return to this theme, thought it was a bit fun! And it is very "harmonious for the eye" to follow the color circle.

But then maybe put down more than 10 minutes before work;)

Kiss!

Here is the next "beginner's tip".

Although I do not really know if I can really call this beginner's tip, this also helps those who are more than beginners! :)

What colors can be combined with each other?

Answer: Everyone !! But some colors are lighter than others. If you want to shade two eye shadows in different colors, it is easiest to choose two colors next to each other in the color circle!

The famous color circle.

Colors that most easily go together are thus as logical as the following:
Green + yellow
Yellow + orange
Orange + RED
RED + pink
Pink + lila
Purple + blue
Blue + Green

Shows some examples!

Green – yellow

Yellow – Orange

RED – Pink

Pink – lila

Purple – Blue

Blue – Green

As you can see in many of the pictures, you can easily use this even if you want to use more than two colors in the same make-up! Then you easily take colors that lie consecutive in the color circle:

Yellow – Green – Blue
Blue – Purple – Pink
Yellow – Orange – RED

Yellow – Green – blue – lila – pink

etc

Hope this was helpful!

Having decent makeup brushes is a and O to be able to do as good make-up as possible.

When I started a makeup blog, I actually just used it two makeup brushes for everything! A blush brush and an eye shadow brush. Then I had a makeup sponge for my foundation. Of course it works that way too;)

Now I have plenty!

Best brow brush!

Slanted rather hard brush that marks well.

Followed in this brow kit from Glo Minerals.

Similar are available for purchase here.

Use the same brow brush for fine lines with eye shadow.

A small shadow brush to small details such as highlighter in the corner of the eye.

Makeup brush set from MAC which is usually cheap on Tradera.

(However, do not know if they are genuine)

Ordinary shadow brushes to the rest of the eye shadows (both when I apply the shadows and when I erase them)

Makeup brush set from MAC

Lip brush for fringe marking.

Makeup brush set from MAC

Very slim and good eyeliner brush for liquid eyeliner.
The brand ZTIZ (9877)

My two base brushes.

The narrow rather hard brush (foundation brush) I use as concealer brush to my solid powder foundation. Dab a little at the nostrils, under the eyes and on pimples!

It looks a little puffy in the picture, but it is not.

The round puffy brush (kabuki brushes) I use for foundation in the rest of the anise.

Top rougeborsten ever!

Slanted and just right soft & fluffy!

Available for purchase here!

Lip brush for lipstick and lip gloss!
(Same as fringe marking)

I have a whole makeup brush bag that is smock full, but basically it is these brushes that I use :)

However, they are starting to get a little worn (even so that Miska has discovered it) so he ordered a new one for me that is on its way now, best best best boyfriend!
