Thank you all for the driving license congratulations! What you are cute :)
Here is a make-up with a new favorite in the make-up bag, Lumene Blueberry Long Wear Duet Eyeshadow in the shade 6 Autumn Leaves.
It is a completely newly launched series of eyeshadow palettes (two shades in each palette) and I know it will come out to Kicks and Åhléns this January, but I do not find it on their websites yet so I do not know if it is in stores yet or not. But in such cases it is at least available to buy very soon :)
Just Autumn Leaves is a shade that I have really stuck to, down to earth in a very warm way, and the copper-colored shade highlights my blue eyes super nicely!
It's the eyeshadow right in the middle I'm talking about.
Copper orange eye shadow deepest on the eyelid.
Soot with it brown shadow at the end of the eyelid, along the globe line and the lower lash line. Black eyeliner with wing, Kryolan Cake Eyeliner. White eyeliner along the waterline, IsaDora Inliner Kajal (50 Satin White) Black mascara on all lashes, Oriflame Gioirdani Gold Lash Panorama Mascara.
Surely it was super nice for my eye color? It really shines!
I fell so in love with this shade that you can almost prepare for a make-up in these colors tomorrow again;)
As I said, there is no store to link the shadows to yet, but on Lumenes website there is more info and I will soon make a more in-depth post about this on Modernmom.se.
I started the day with a good morning's sleep, and as soon as I got out of bed I put on my hiking socks.
It was namely today I had my run-up!
I can drive well, but the drive up was a disaster haha. Nothing felt absolutely perfect except that I managed to park straight when we stopped.
BUT, thanks to the lucky socks and all of you who have been cute and kept your fingers crossed for me, I was still approved !!! : D Now my driver's license is mine!
Sooo mega wonderful! Now I can put all my focus on blog / company / shop again :)
Soon the day's make-up will come too, I'll just calm my nerves first hihi.
Thank you very much and thank you for all the spicy comments!
Do you remember the page? Style Secrets som jag skrev om förut? Yves Rocher har publicerat en sida där alla får publicera sin egen style secret, och jag är med under “kända ansikten” och har delat med mig av ett av mina bästa knep.
I want to remind you of this just because you who publish your style secrets on the site have the chance to win a trip to Paris worth SEK 10,000, and now they wrote on their Facebook page that it is the last chance to compete! So take care :)
A suitable make-up for a passport / leg / driver's license is an important part of how the picture turns out :) It is very rare that you are satisfied with your photo, we have probably all been through that!
To succeed reasonably, you must first and foremost prepare in the right way. It's not just about looking good in reality, the trick is to look good on a black and white card!
7 make-up tips for passports / identification / driving license:
1. Skip the blush.
If you have a lot of blush on your cheeks, this will just be a gray shadow in the picture = your cheeks may look more sunken. I usually skip the blush completely before black and white pictures :)
2. Shading and highlighter (contouring)
Många upplever att ansiktet blir bredare och mer “platt” på svartvita bilder än vad man är i verkligheten. Shading och highlighter (contouring) som framhäver ansiktsdragen är då lösningen!
Lighten up places that bend outwards, such as the nose bone, cheekbones, forehead and chin. And put a darker shadow on deep parts such as the sides of the nasal bone, under the cheekbone, in the temples and along the jawbone / sides of the chin.
3. Concealer
All small defects (eg pimples, lines, pits, pigment spots) are much more visible if you have light skin and take black and white photos. The skin turns white while all blemishes turn gray and black. Therefore, you can work a little extra with concealer than you do otherwise!
4. Avoid a lot of eye shadow
Different shades and color shifts look great in reality, but on a black and white passport photo it can look like just a gray spot. In addition, these black and white images often become a bit shady - then the make-up looks slightly uneven as well. A black sweep goes home on a black and white fashion shoot, but on a passport photo it is seldom as good.
The easiest way is to put your contouring shadows on your eyes too! :) Tips on how to do this I show in the post: Contouring the eyes!
5. Visible eyes
Ögonen har gärna en tendens att försvinna lite på svartvita kort om man låter bli att sminka dom. Måla vattenlinjen ljus och markera fransraderna med svart kajal/lite ögonskugga så kommer dina ögon att “poppa” på bilden trots att du har lite ögonmakeup.
My best bright eyeliner is without a doubt glo Skin Beauty Precision Eye Pencil (adlink) in the shade Peach! Durable and gives a great effect, but at the same time becomes natural :) The black and brown shades are also spotless!
6. Neutral lips
Red lips look dark gray in a black and white image, which can be really cool! If, on the other hand, you want a more natural lip, I recommend a color that is close to your own lip color.
7. Eyebrows
The eyebrows are usually seen quite well on this type of card and if you are also discreetly made up, they take up even more space. Well-shaped eyebrows will be super nice on the card and also frame the whole face.
My favorite eyebrow pencil is glo Skin Beauty Micro Brow Liner (adlink) so is very easy to paint with regardless of whether you have narrow, wide, sparse or full eyebrows!
Here is today's simple make-up, as I looked today when I took my picture before the theory test:
Compared to how I usually put on make-up, it is an incredibly discreet and gentle make-up.
But as a make-up for pass / leg / driver's license in black and white, it is great! The eyes are highlighted nicely and I look like myself :)
Speaking of which, I actually have a make-up that is completely contrary to all these principles on my passport! I had not prepared before, but worked right opposite the police station and spontaneously went there after work to get a new passport.
Then I had a colorful blue party sweep around my eyes, quite a lot of blush and also I was tired and the basic makeup did not sit as well after a day in the classy restaurant kitchen. I look like a really tired gangster on that card haha!
Luckily you learn from your mistakes;)
By the way, I passed the test too! :) So it's not just a make-up for pass / leg / driving license but also a TOUR make-up, haha!
Now there is only the last (and most difficult) part left, the drive-up. So keep your fingers crossed for a while longer!
Now you are going to go to Uppsala and write the driving license theory test for the first time! We'll see if it will be first and last, or just first;)
If I cog the run-up that I have in a few days, and do not have time to get a new time within a month, then I have to rewrite the test again, even if I manage it today. I think a bit crazy rule, as it is very difficult to get run-up times!
Anyway, today I will also take a picture of the picture that will be on the driver's license later, and there are some details that are good to think about when you put on make-up.
So now I'm going to sit down in front of the make - up mirror, and you'll get an update on both make - up and how it went on the test since I got home! :)
Am devilishly craving coffee too, but I get so nervous about it, I can get nervous about coffee even though I do not even have a taste to be nervous about, so I skip it this morning.
