My imperfect pages

Beauty bloggers can probably often be perceived as "perfect", as it is that side we blog about. We are here to inspire!

Stylish make-up, fine nails, fixed hair and awesome beauty products. That's what you see.

Therefore, I now thought to share my, in terms of beauty, imperfect pages!

I rarely shave my legs
I only shave my legs if I have to show them (eg in a dress). Or if I just want to feel me prettier for an occasion. This is not due to laziness, I always shaved them before! But Miska always complains about the stump I get so fast - "You stick!" In addition, my straws are very light and soft when they are allowed to grow, so it does not matter much. No one looks under the trouser legs as well!

Nail polish left since the summer
In the summer you often show your feet, so then I had red toenails - classic, stylish and nice! However, I never removed the nail polish. When it got colder and the socks went on, I kind of forgot about it. And the little that has not grown out yet, kindly stays at the end of the big toenails!

Nice, nice :)

My underwear
I'm ashamed if anyone opens my pantry. I have always given priority to spending my few pennies on things that are visible - clothes and make-up. Only I (and Miska) see the underwear. I have, without exaggerating, thongs left since I was 12 years old (my first, H&M with snob print) and I still use them! However, the pressure has disappeared in the laundry…

Bites on the lips
I have mentioned before that I bite my lips. Many people do it a little, but for me it is an addiction like biting my nails! There will be big wounds, often so deep that I bleed, everywhere in my mouth where I access - up, down, both sides. I get a sore jaw sometimes because I strain them so much when I sit and gnaw. Sometimes I also have so much pain in the wounds that it is difficult to eat! Then it does not look so fresh either.

Those were the points I could think of… Maybe update the list after a little more thought;)

Anyone who recognize themselves? :)

Dark New Year's make-up

It feels a little early to start with New Year's make-up, but there is almost only one month left! Gosh what time goes by.

In addition, I see in the statistics that many already google New Year's make - up, so just get started so you have a lot to be inspired by when day D comes!

When I think of New Year's make - up, I think of glitter, protruding, dark, shimmery, big, beautiful, and above all happy!

Like this gem for example :)
A golden and black make-up that makes the eyes stand out in the crowd!

1. Add one golden glitter eye shadow along the globe line, IsaDora Eyeshadow Quartet (68 Lynx)

2. Black eye shadow at the end of the eyelid, Smashbox (Kiss' N Tell)

3. Take a small brush and paint a v-shape in the outer corner of the eye with it black eye shadow.
4. Continue down on half lower lash line.

5. Blur the edges with a larger brush.

6. Take the smaller brush again, and blur the black shadow over the globe line.

This will be made up a little later, it is to create a feeling of shadow so that the make-up does not look so flat!

7. Add some of it gold glittery eye shadow on the black over the globe line.

8. Brownish eye shadow above the black on the eyelid, and a little above the globe line.

Do you see the effect of the black eye shadow over the globe line? It is visible, but still not;)

9. Light yellow-white eye shadow in the corner of the eye and at the bottom of the lower lash line, Eyedust (No.1)

10. Black eyeliner on the upper and inner lash line, L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Le Khôl (Black)

11. Black mascara on all lashes, IsaDora Precision Mascara (10 Deep Black)
12. Gold glitter on the whole make-up, Glitter Eyedust MINI (S1)

Pink lipstick, Eleven 66 Lip Palette
+ Lip gloss gloLiquid Lips (Darling)

Ready to rock!

There are many great foundation brands, but I have never tested any covers as good as gloMinerals solid mineral powder foundation!

I always get incredibly red flaming when I have washed my face, shit. But used it to show how much can be covered with a good foundation :)

Here you have me, naked in the face;)

And here I am half a minute later, with the gloPressed Base Mineral Foundation over!

With a little sun powder and blush, you look alive again;)

Cruelly!

Madeleine sa…

Hey!
Would like to make this makeup for New Year. Saw that the palette you used is not long. Can you recommend someone similar ??
Would you also be able to post how to do step by step and also all the products you use ??
Also step by step with the black sweep you have in this picture

SHIT BEAUTIFUL MAKE-UP !!!

Absolutely! :)

Black sweeping with pink color click on the lower lash line!

1. Always start with one eye primer so that the shadows attach properly. Especially if you are going to party all night;)

2. Dutta en black eye shadow on the entire eyelid, Smashbox (Kiss' N Tell)
This shade comes from a 6-palette, but most brands sell black single shades.
One of my favorites is gloMinerals black eye shadow (Sable), gives a lot of pigment!

I usually use a slightly harder brush to more easily "saturate" the primer.

3. Blur the edges very! It takes a little time, but it will be nice if you have patience.

I usually use a slightly fluffier brush for this, but not very soft.

4. Apply black eyeliner along the upper lash line, gloPrecisio Eye Pencil (Black)
Make sure that there are no gaps at the lashes!

5. Add one light purple shimmery shadow in the corner of the eye and at the bottom of the lower lash line, Eyedust (No. 9)

The first time I did this makeup I used Eleven 180 Palette.
But for New Year's, you may not want to buy a large palette just for a make-up (desbesides, that palette is no longer with Eleven) So today I used a different shade instead.
