Make up not war!

I loooooooove makeup. It´s fun to put on, it´s lovely to wash off and in the middle of these, wearing it, is the best!

I can go a whole day without it but it´s so booring, for me! And It´s an important morning routine for me, because if I don´t put on the make up in the morning, my body goes in to a laid back & tired mode. Probably because I´ve always worn make up & I was sick the days I didn´t & stayed at home in my oversized stayin-at-home-clothes.

I found a wicked starters photo from MAC:

My favourite brands are so many, I wouldn´t know where to start. Some of them have a lot of good work (PR and such) behind their brands, some less.

I really like the thought behind the Make up Store boutiques…! Good job!

Here´s a photo of their butique. They have to look the same everywhere, it´s in their companys profile-policy:

I just bought a new perfume from Make up Store, it´s called “I do“. It´s actually from their wedding line, shocker huh? …It smells absolutely marvellous! I´ve never had such romantic, fresh, women-ly fragrance in my nasal hair before! It looks like this:

I do

Back to the makeup!

This is a nice product to start with, the primer:

From: instyle.com

Many of us only use primers on the eyes, to make the eye shadows sit putt, but one for the whole face is luxury! It makes your face feel like silicone, maybe not the best parable but silky as hell! And it helps the make up to stay in its place. You put it on after your daily facial cream & just before your make up base.

I love the black eyeshadows:

Tip:

Some think that this kind of black makeup is too heavy to wear in the middle of the day, but it isn´t! If you let the lips stay in a natural color or wear this kind of beige lipstick or lipgloss, it won´t be too much. But save the sparkeling black eyeshadow for glowing in the night……

This is a really nice partyshadow:

The cat-eye-look is so nice to all styles: hardrock, fashionista, doll, punk…. It depends on the rest of the details and color combinations on what personality you´ll have, for example the lip and skin color.

The black smokey eyes look really nice with a bright pink blush, kinda like this:

Here´s a video of how you can get smoky eyes!:

I see a lot of girls that don´t have the right daily makeup base. Either the foundation is too covering or uneven. Or the eyebrows are badly marked or too much. It´s a bit hard to find your best daily makeup…

Be inspired these lovely ladies, and detect every single spot of color, shimmering and matt areas, just to be aware of the look.

The natural makeup

I love this photo of Kate Bosworth:

Kate Hudson:

J´adore Doutzen Kroes romantic & fresh look:

Jennifer Aniston:

They are role models for the natural makeup.

I found a video that I think is really good for a “normal” daily make up AND she chose some good music to it:

Do you agree?

This is what I choose from for my daily makeup these days:

I have to invest in some new brushes for the different lines, this is a great pic of how you use the different brushes:

The party or eyecatcher-makeup:

I love strong colors in the makeup, if you can wear it right. That is to choose the right outfit for it & be able to look smart not like a victim…

I adore Thandie Newton:

This is only an inspirational photo. You can use the same thought but change into the colors that you want! Or different shades of brown, grey, black, blue…. Do something different for the next party!

From: eyeliner.se

If you don´t want the makeup to show that much it´s also cool to wear a pale brown or grey color on the eyelid and a color like blue, green or turqoise on your lower eyeline.

Lonneke Engel, one of my absolute favourite models:

Here´s someone who is definetly not afraid of color!

Katy Perry:

Color is cool!! Don´t stop at the makeup, do like Kate Perry! The details are important, like these wicked shoes (they don´t HAVE to be rave, it depends on how you match them. Humor ladies!):

From: debat.amine.dk (Very cool pic, thanks!)

Here´s another colorful (besides that my hand looks totally dead) detail that I use sometimes:

Sexy eyeliner:

Thandie Newton again. She´s so delicate, has a wonderful sense of style & makeup:

And when it comes to that nice eyeliner, don´t be afraid to try different colors or shimmering eyeliners:

Speaking of strong colors I have ot mention the red lipstick:

Gwen Stefani again:

I like this Ashlee Simpson look:

That´s also wearable to every style! It gives every look a classic touch.

Taylor Swift tries on a little more edgier eyeliner, but I don´t like it so much…a bit too Amy Winehouse for me:

Here´s another photo of her where her eyeshadow matches her dress:

And the Photoshoped photo of BEAUTIFUL Alexis Bledel, I love the pale, porcelain doll look:

This girl is truely gorgeous. Nothice that wonderful “clean” lusture on the forehead, cheeks, nose & chin with a serum:

From: I´m sorry, I Googled it a long time ago.

To achieve that lusture I use Flavo C. It´s the best serum I´ve ever tried:

Even Kristin Kreuk is out of this world, love her colors & shimmering make:

Here´s a cool photo of Tyra Banks wearing a little extra shimmer, maxing out the effect with the eyeshadow & concealer:

Eyelashes:

Many say that there isn´t such a big difference since you can use mascara, but it is! It´s that little extra something:

From: coolpicking.com

How do you normally fix your eyelashes? Have you ever tried false ones?

Here´s a very good video showing you how you can put them on & some good pointers!

(After seeing this video, look closely at the celebrity photos further down, you can really see both eyelashes in photo no 3.)

And here is how you can take them off. Not the best sound but a quick & really easy video:

Cool pic from the Elle magazine:

Here are some different wearable eyelashes. Can you tell who the celebrities are?

Before and after photos:

Burlesque star (and ex wife to the lovely Marilyn Manson…) Dita Von Teese has a classic image. I´m very happy to show this picture that I found of her, this is what she used to look like:

From: dailymail.co.uk

She was 18 years old in the left pic! I´ve been wondering how she looked like when she was yonger and “peeled off”. Her name is actually Heather Renee Sweet. Have you seen the movie ‘Can´t buy me love’ ? She looks a bit like her!! I wonder how she and Marilyn Manson got fond of each other…

Speaking of the devils…..Mr Manson uses a lot of makeup!

From: superstarcouples.com

Great color for his eyes! I wonder how he started his makeup….style?….

Ok so I have to say that he´s very entertaining & intelligent. He knows what he´s doing unlike some of us

I like some of his songs, as a true musiclover with many tastes. But. You know! Dude…. Wonder how he looks like behind his fasade…

I usually don´t like how “they” use these kind of pictures of celebrity:

..but in the same time I love to se the before and after -change. A tan WILL help you a long way.. But to take better care of your body tan yourself with a cream

Most of us look better with makeup!! Period. But celebrity “are” a brand, a victim behind their names, in some ways. They always have to look their best. Really challenging. But they do look really good & we love looing at beauty. That´s why these kind of pics are sooo juicy.

There is an art in makeup-ing! It´s like a painter´s craft:

Jennifer Lopez

From: imnotobsessed.com

Makeup does the difference! Why not wear it? I see a lot of old-ish ladies that don´t wear makeup, that would look SO good if they did! I´d like to walk up to them and say: -do you know HOW STUNNING you would look with a little color in your face?! …but of course…only in my dreams

Oh I found Dita Von Teese without makeup:

From: teamsugar.com

She looks so sweet much younger. As a lot of us do without makeup!

AND one of Marilyn Manson or sould I say Brian Warner:

And all the way to makeup disasters, be ware:

Lindsay Lohan:

Jennifer Lopez, every single nuance is all wrong:

From: bittenandbound.com

Mischa Barton, too much of everything! The eyebrows are uneven, the eyeshadow too:

Pamela Anderson:

From: bittenandbound.com

Oh Pammy dearest….this looks more like a battle than makeup……girl go back to your cage…. rawr

Makeup faux pas:

1: choose the right color on your foundation! It should be the same color as your neck, so that it won´t look like a mask! If you think it´s too bright, just put on that sun-powder on the forehead, nose and cheeks.

2: eyebrows are really important. They frame your face & eyes. Form them by brushing the color on with your pencil, very easily. Look at Micha Bartons photo and do the opposite

3: eyeliner is great, but the line has to be straight. The buckles show! Also the eyeshadow has to be symmetric. Don´t put on too much shadow from the start. Don´t brush it on, pat it on.

4: your blush must not look like two lines. Brush it on while smileing on the top of your cheeks Use a little bit on your forehead & in between your eyelids & eyebrows. The sun-powder does the rest.

5: you lipstick & lip pencil shouldn´t be around your mouth.

6: when you cover your red spots don´t overdo it so you´ll have light beige dotts on your face.
