Colors

Today I had a real full day, you know when you really do not is  ugly and there is nothing you can put your finger on, but you just do not feel a bit good-looking no matter what you do.

Usually I take the opportunity to have a spa day on such days, but my blog readers must get a make-up I thought :)

However, it had gone crazy with either the light or the camera for the pictures could not be obtained, the colors became pale and the skin became greyish. Or was it me that was wrong maybe? ;) hehe

Well, here are half-baked pictures of today's Helena who tried to liven up life with a little color! Unfortunately, I can not bother with all the step-by-step pictures, but it is quite simple so you probably look good anyway!

I had a good eyelash day anyway, I'm happy about that :)

Sombré

Is it just me who finds it easy to see what others fit in, but when it comes to myself, I feel completely lost?

I feel great in my blonde hair, I have tried to be brown before but this really light blonde is much more me! Both inside and outside, hihi;)

Men jag börjar tröttna på detta daltande med utväxten! Jag bleker den exakt varannan månad (har inte råd oftare) men den är redan flera centimeter lång nu och det är en hel månad kvar innan det är “dags”.

The ombré trend is something I have thought about, then you do not have to dye as often because the growth does not become as clear. But it has not felt quite a hundred either. But now I have started to think the sombré trend instead! Do you keep up with the turns? :)

Sombré is kind of like ombré, ie darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, although much more naturally colored without sharp edges, more toned and looped.

The question is, can you have sombré-colored, but still have a very cold blonde hair color without it cutting? I do not want very dark on the scalp either… Hmmm ..

Do I not have any hairdresser readers who have suggestions? :) I simply want the growth to be less visible when it grows out, so I do not have to color as often, but I still want to be very blonde.

What shall I do ???

what shall i do with my hair

Help please! :)

Makeup & Clothes

Yesterday's make-up was a pretty tough sweep with black, white and burgundy / purple-pink elements.

I picked up these shades in the rest of the look!

Black eyeshadow - Black pants, shoes and details on the shirt.
White eyeshadow - White sweater.
Purple pink lips - Purple pink nails.

Purple / purple-pink is highlighted by green shades, so there was also a green ring on the finger.
The ring was also golden, which matches the golden details on the shoes.

It may sound difficult and overambitious to match the make-up and the clothes the way I do, but if you get dressed first, think a little and then put on make-up, it's very easy :)

These are details that most others would not think about that you have actually put thought behind, but that there will be balance with the colors, I think unconsciously does a lot for the eye. And what I like most is that myself  know that I have thought of! :)

Hope it inspires even though I have extremely simple outfits evenly! My closet is neither large nor particularly updated;) Would need to update the wallet first hihi.

Hug!

Lovisa sa…
“Hej! Hittade din blogg för ett tag sen och tycker att du är otroligt duktig! Det är så att min foundation är på upphällningen och jag vill hitta något nytt, men har lite fundering kring huruvida jag ska välja foundation eller satsa på endast ett mineralpuder. Har egentligen ingen problemhy, det jag vill täcka är enstaka finnar och främst ojämnheter i huden som mörka ringar eller svarta porer. Använder nu en budgetvariant, maybelines mousse foundation. Den ger rätt typ av täckning, men är fel nyans och smular sig snabbt. Dessutom satsar jag hellre på någon dyrare variant som är mer skonsam mot min hy… Nu blev det här jättelångt haha, men det jag undrar är egentligen vad som är skillnaden på resultatet av foundation/puder? Vad rekomenderar du? Om du har tid att svara skulle jag bli jätteglad för lite råd!”

Hi Lovisa, what fun that you like the blog! :)

Om man ska ha en “klassisk” foundation i flytande form (ev. kräm, mousse) eller en mineralfoundation beror väldigt mycket på smaksak – vad man gillar att jobba med mest helt enkelt. Man kan få bra resultat av både flytande foundation och mineralpuder

But there are some other things that matter as well. At the same time, you must not forget that it also depends on what brand you use and what kind of skin you have. But here is brief info where I have drawn all the marks over a comb:

liquid foundation vs mineral powder

“Klassiskt foundation”
A creamy / liquid foundation melts into the skin more and thus also minimizes the visibility of pores and such irregularities. It is suitable for those with dry and / or mature skin, as it also moisturizes.

However, it takes a little longer to apply, and in addition it is difficult to vary the coverage, ie if you need more coverage on some parts of the face and less on others.

Mineral powder
Mineral powders are quick and easy to apply, and it is easy to vary the degree of coverage by applying more / less in different places on the face. It usually does not contain unnecessary additives and does not clog the pores, which is good for people with sensitive skin. In addition, the powder absorbs moisture, which is good if you get oily skin during the day.

I therefore recommend mineral powder to you, as you should only cover certain areas but otherwise only apply thinly to even out. Then you can easily dab a little more powder on the areas you want to cover more, and just sweep over with a soft brush on the rest of the face to even out!

My favorite is mineral powder, nudh mineral is what I use. I like it precisely because it is so easy to apply and also because I am very oily in the skin and need a little drier products.

Just nudh mineral is such a good brand because it does not contain any unnecessary additives, and it still gives such a nice result that is both opaque and natural with a lot of luster!

Hope the post was helpful :)
