Wish make-up - Lucia

7

“Kommer vara Lucia den 13:de December och behöver en fin, julig sminkning! 

Liked your previous Christmas make-up very much but I am a little afraid that it will be too hard a color as it is at school and I do not want to have too much focus on my make-up even if I want it to be nice! :) Has gray / blue eyes, mixed skin between warm and cold tones. Strawberry blonde hair. Would love to have gold involved! :) ”

Descriptive words: Colorful, Bright, Eyeliner with wing, Several different eye shadows. White, Light (white / yellow), Red, Purple, Brown, Gold, Orange

God what fun! I have also been lucia once :)

I skipped purple and orange, it is of course possible to get it nicely in the make-up, but it felt like it took away the Christmas feeling a bit. Hope you agree, otherwise you will scold me;)

This make-up will be super nice for your blue eyes!

Concealer & Foundation

0

I often get questions from confused blog readers who do not know in what order to apply concealer and foundation, which one to put first?

What I like about applying concealer after foundation is that then you see so clearly in which places you need to cover more, and in which places it was just enough with foundation. You are often looking for as natural a result as possible, and moreover you do not want to waste your products, and then it is unnecessary to accidentally put too much of the concealer.

However, it is not always possible to do so, it depends on what products you have. You should not smudge with a liquid concealer after applying powder foundation for example.

Powder concealer works over powder foundation.
Liquid concealer works over liquid foundation.

It can also be difficult to apply the concealer last if it is creamy while your foundation is liquid. Then you can easily rub off your foundation underneath because the concealer has a harder consistency.

In addition, you have to make sure that the color is the same throughout the face even if you apply the concealer last, a green concealer I probably would not have done so with.

I personally usually use the powder concealer covers dark from nudh mineral, I almost always apply it last even if I use a liquid foundation. However, if it is a foundation that does not dry so quickly, I usually apply the concealer after applying a transparent powder.

I almost always apply creamy / liquid concealers first.

If you are unsure - apply the concealer first!

Hope you feel a little wiser! :)

This summer I wrote about a highlighter that Tove Castor tipped about and thought was good, you can read the post here.

Now I have actually finally tested it myself (though not on my own face) and I agree with Tove to 100 %, the is great!

If you do not like a lot of shimmer, it is a product you should skip, but for me who loves it and thinks it is mega nice with a shimmery highlighter on top of the cheekbone, this is perfect. It shimmers a lot but in a reasonable way.

Now during the winter I imagine a pale complexion, with a light bright pink blush on the cheeks and this highlighter on the cheekbones.

So nice!

Winter night

I do not really know how all the hours of the day have been able to go so fast! My phone has rang in one fell swoop, so I have not had time to get a single post during the morning.

But now then, today's makeup is coming :)

However, I had to fight a lot for it, my eyes have become so irritated that they just run and run! I therefore had a makeup-free day yesterday, but it does not seem to help.

So the pictures were not the best, I had to hurry before I ruined the tears, and then I just had to choose the best of the pictures I took.

A cold and wintry make-up, perfect for the winter party!

Annika sa…
“Gissar att du fått den här frågan massor av gånger redan :) men hur tar du hand om dina fransar, har du några tips för att vårda dem och försöka få dem längre? Du har fantastiskt vackra fransar. “

Yes that's right, I get this question very often so I'll take it up in a post again :)

The only thing I do is use eyelash serum from Revitalash (their old formula, which is no longer available for purchase).

Jag har dock slutat med den nu för att “få ner” fransarna lite till sitt naturliga jag. Det är nämligen ett annat märke som jag tänkte testa för att recensera, men det kan jag inte börja med när jag fortfarande har långa fransar av Revitalash. Så för stunden gör jag ingenting alls.

But I can recommend caring for the lashes more, especially if you wear them a lot, e.g. with eyelash curler or coloring / permanent. It is the same principle as with the hair on the head, a well-groomed hair becomes fuller, more beautiful and does not fall out as easily.

Different oils or eyelash wrap RefectoCil Long Lash Gel are products that I can recommend! Lubricate the lashes before you go to bed, and they will be cared for during the night.

Oils that are good are regular olive oil (completely cold pressed), avocado oil and coconut oil.
