Makeup trends 2014

0

I have looked into some catwalk pictures for 2014 and it is very much natural make-up that seems to be popular right now, less is more.

Personally, I think that the Swedish people will be more and more daring when it comes to makeup this year, at least me!

Here are some details that I hope will come through during the year:
* Glittery eyebrows
* Colorful eyebrows
* Fun colors / color combinations on the lips, for example purple / blue / mixed
* Graphic eyeliners and harder lines
* Sooted make-up without mascara

My New Year's promise is, among other things, to be more daring with such fun details in 2014, and I hope that I will succeed in inspiring more people to do so!

Make-up tips for red-flaming skin

4

Ann sa…
“Jättefin sminkning! Du är så duktig. :) Do you have any makeup tips for red-flamed skin? If you are very red in skin tone but want such a nice even tone that you have? I think the red kind of shines through no matter how I lay the foundation and trying to neutralize with green really does not work for me. :( Wants to be nicely pale (is red-haired) but is like pink red all the time. ”

First of all, thank you for your kind words! I will be super happy for all the kind comments I get :) Also want to tip about these posts which are newer that I wrote about that reduce redness of the face with product tips and cover a scarlet pimple with redness relief powder.

I have a bit of the same problem as you, I have many red areas on my face, and I also have such a sensitive skin that easily turns red during the day, such as if I blush, are stressed or happen to poke at it.

What works best for me to cover red-flaming skin?

What works best for me is a good green concealer and a opaque foundation, and I recommend nudh mineral if you like powder products, and Lumene's CC series if you like cream products!

A green concealer can, as you say, be a little difficult to work with when you are not used to it. The most important thing is that it is good - it should be able to be applied so thinly that the result does not look green, but it should still be effective. And besides, it is easy to use too much which also does not give a good result.

Apply the green concealer only on the reddest areas, not on the whole face, and apply as thin a layer as possible. The red can still shine through the concealer a little, you cover the last with your foundation.

I want to make it clear once again that one is important Good  green concealer, I have tested so many bad ones and if there is one you have tested, I understand why you do not think the result is good. Applying something green to the skin without it looking green, goes without saying that it is not the simplest principle. In such cases, you could only take a green eye shadow.

nudh mineral har en toppenbra grön concealer “covers red“, som ger ett perfekt resultat fast man bara tar pyttelite. Den är i löspuderform och väldigt enkel att jobba med! Föredrar du istället krämiga produkter så kan jag rekommendera Lumenes is a CC-Concealer, it is beige with a light green undertone and is also good for red parties.

Here you see before and after my make-up tips for red-flaming skin:

Att sedan ha en täckande foundation, även fast man inte har mycket finnar eller blemmor, är bra just för att man inte ska behöva “överkonsumera” den gröna concealern. Har du samma problem som jag så vet man inte alltid vilka områden som blir rödast under dagen, och har man en tunnare foundation så lyser det röda igenom väldigt lätt vilket gör att man ser väldigt sliten ut.

And of course I also recommend nudh minerals foundation which is great for the concealer. And the same with Lumenes Concealer, if you use their entire CC series with cc concealer, cc cream and cc powder, you will also get a very good result.

I think that nudh mineral gives a slightly more natural result, but still good coverage :) I can show a review I received on the webshop on the non-green concealer. nudh mineral has a concealer that is beige and covers dark, and a green that covers red. They are very similar, by the way, except that they are for different areas of the face. So I absolutely think that this review can also reflect the green concealer :)

In addition, it is important that you have the right shade on your foundation, every time I have tested a new foundation and happened to get a little wrong shade, my red areas really want to shine through. I do not know why it really happens, but I speak from experience.

Hope the post about make-up tips for red-flaming skin was helpful, feel free to comment if you have any questions or concerns. :)

Golden Champagne

Here is a simple but shitty everyday make-up that lifts the eyes. With the colorful lips and fixed hair that I matched with, you can actually almost call it party makeup as well.

It's really so simple that I would not have had to do a tutorial, but yes I offer it anyway! ;)

nudh mineral primer

Now the winter and the cold are here for real, and I can imagine that there are more than just me who are starting to notice it on the skin?

Just nu är det extra viktigt att inte ha för mycket “skit” i ansiktet, man måste ha en bra hudvårdsrutin och sedan låta huden andas med bra sminkprodukter som inte täpper till porerna eller torkar ut huden.

Therefore, I take the opportunity to republish an old video post where I show how I apply nudh minerals basic makeup!

Nudh minerals basic make-up contains no additives, and is thus also completely free of talc, oil, bismuth, preservatives and perfume.

The light in the video is like that, but you can have it as a basis for how to do it and you can compare the result on the pictures instead;)

The entire range is available for purchase here, and the products I have used in the video cost between SEK 179-199.

Christina Aguilera - Makeup Tutorial

3

I want to start this post by saying that I did this makeup already yesterday, so you do not think I have copied Linda Hallberg as our make-up is just as frightening today. Great minds think alike, or what do you say;)

My inspiration comes from Christina Aguilera, and is a mix of the looks she usually wears. Smoky eyes, red lips and hair curls!

Picture from the movie Burlesque, which I love twice!
