Got a cute email the other day!

"Hello!

First I want to say WOW what wonderful makeup you do. Can't help but look at all the pictures you post.
Have also purchased a 180 Palette to see if I know what you are doing.

What I wonder is if you can do a make-up in red? Got for me to buy a red eyeshadow but do not know what to do with it.
It becomes too much to just have it on the eyelid.

Once again… .it's superduper looking makeup.
Have a nice day

I keep checking your page …… :)))”

Red is a slightly tricky shade. It becomes easy too much if you only have it all over the eyelid, and many easily feel "red-eyed".

My tips are:

Feel free to use one more eye shadow, either a completely different color, for example, I think it's cool to mix red and purple. Or a slightly more natural shade, as I have done below, so that it is really only red but still not "all red".

And for those of you who lighten the red-eyed feeling, skip wearing the eye shadow lower lash line. This is usually when you feel "sickly red-eyed".

And

Here is at least a quick step by step on this makeup! Red but not pan red so to speak.

All eyeshadows are from Eleven 180 Palette.

Light yellow-white highlighter shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line, in the corner of the eye and under the brow.

RED eye shadow at the end of the eyelid and along the globe line, a little ” >"-format.

Light golden eye shadow on the rest of the eyelid, a little up on the crease line and on the lower lash line.

Dark copper red eye shadow at the end of the lower lash line.

(Chose not to have bright red here, due to the "red-eyed feeling" that I wrote about at the beginning of the post)

White eyeliner on the inner lash line, H&M.

Black eyeliner at the bottom of the lower and upper lash line, glo Minerals gloPrecisio Eye Pencil (Black)

Navy blue mascara on all lashes, Max Factor False Lash Effect (Deep Blue)

Lip gloss pencil, glo Minerals gloRoyal Lip Crayon (Corall)

Frida came for a coffee visit, and stands and tells one thing in the background.

You can see in the picture that I am laughing inside!

And then it broke !!! :)

The bell rang at 05.15 yesterday - Off to Stockholm and make up hostesses and project managers for the Entrepreneurship Gala at Berns. A total of 11 nice girls!

They wore black clothes, and spruced it up plum purple makeup. Nice!

It was so stressful that one second I had no one to put on make-up because everyone was busy, and the other two were ready to go, preferably recently!

That's how it works in this industry;)

Julia captured me in the picture while I am working;)

When I landed in Uppsala again, I met up with sister Linda and Miska, it happened Greek dinner and a glass of wine on ”AlexanderBefore we went home. Super cozy !!

I quote Ted Gärdestad:

What a lovely day!

Wash makeup brushes

Washing your make-up brushes is very important hygienically!

Many people are careless, but you should wash your make-up brushes as often as possible, preferably after each time you have used them.

Here are my 3 most important washing tips:

1. Synthetic brushes are washed with washing-up liquid and real hair is washed with shampoo, + conditioner if they feel dry. BUT the most important thing is that it gets clean, I wash all my brushes in regular YES detergent. (My brushes should be real hair, but I strongly doubt that they are.)

2. Do not rub too hard when washing, especially not on brushes with real hair! The top of the straws is easily destroyed, and then the brush feels rough.

3. Let the brushes dry lying. If you put them on straws down then the straws are destroyed, and you put them on strung up then water can flow down into the gap where the shaft begins, and cause the shaft to release from the brush itself.
