Valborg makeup

Anonymous sa…
Hey! I come from Uppsala, and as you may know, Valborg is celebrated quite a lot here. So I wonder if you could do a make-up that works for the champagne breakfast and then the barbecue in the evening and lasts all the time? Think nothing will survive a champagne gallop, but if you succeed it would be epic;)

 

If you keep your eyes open around 3pm, you might see me in town - Ugly, fluffy and disgusting after work, sneaking through town to get to the bus;)

I have done a make-up with details that I explain as carefully as I can. So you can make your own interpretation if you want other colors etc!

 

Mix light and dark eye shadows
By using fairly light eye shadows on and under the eyelid, but at the same time adding a darker shade somewhere in the make-up, you get a non-everyday feeling, while it is not a heavy party make-up.

False eyelashes
False eyelashes make a make-up look more fixed and nice. For a "proper" make-up, it does not scream party, but also fits next to the grill when you just want to be extra nice.

The eyelashes can also look a bit worn after a wild day, then it's great that you already have false eyelashes on! As long as you have a good glue so that they remain of course :)

Waterproof makeup
If you get a bottle of bubble over you, or fall into the river, you have saved a large part of the make-up if you prepared me a waterproof mascara! There are several waterproof products, even blush, the more the better!

If you do not have waterproof eyeliner, you should skip it completely, if the accident occurs, you will probably otherwise look like a panda, even if you have a waterproof mascara.

Focus on the top of the eye.
It is usually under the eyes that you look worn, when the make-up has done its thing. Skip mascara on the lower lashes, and just put a light shadow on the lash line (if you do not use very good waterproof makeup)

Good foundation
A good foundation can also save a make-up, it is simply the foundation for a durable makeup.

Use both eye and face primer. Have a Foundation that suits your skin type. And do not neglect when applying the products, but work carefully with concealer, etc. to get a good coverage.

Lip gloss or matte lipstick
What you choose for lips depends a bit on how you are as a person.

If you want lips that last a long time, I recommend lip pencil + a matte lipstick, or lip pencil on the entire lips.

A gloss disappears more easily, when you drink from a jar, for example;) (even glossy lipsticks). On the other hand, it is easier to improve on a lip gloss, and it also does not look as strange if the lip gloss has half disappeared as if a lipstick has it.

 

Here is a fairly simple interpretation with all the details I describe above, except for the loose lashes that I skipped.

 

Light brown eye shadow on the eyelid, Everyday Minerals (Spiritual Shimmer)
Brown eye shadow at the end of the eyelid and along the globe line, Everyday Minerals (Midnight Mystery)

Turquoise waterproof eyeliner along the lower lash line, Yves Rocher.

Black mascara on the upper lashes, Make Up Store Multilash (this is not waterproof)

Red lip gloss, IsaDora Moisturizing Lip Gloss (21 Red Carpet)

 

Good luck and have so much fun !! :)
