Makeup Look - Peachy

Hello ladies, 

Today I did another look using the lovely Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette! I used peachy tones on the lid and added a pop of green in the waterline. 

Hope you're having a nice day!

Makeup Look - Sweet Peach Palette

Hello beautiful,

Todays look is a first look using the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette! This is a colorful palette with so many pretty shades and finishes. But I wanted to try out the neutral matte shades first, so thats what I did. The shadows are pigmentet and blend beautifully, just like you can expect from Too Faced.

Makeup Look - Full Throttle

Hello lovies,

I've been sick with the flu for the longest time it feels like and haven't done my makeup in a week. Luckily I had a few looks that I'd done but not had a chance to post. 

For todays look I used the NYX Full Throttle Palette which is a collaboration with the beautiful and oh so beautiful Swedish makeup artist Linda Hallberg. And without even thinking about it I used the lashes Linda did in collaboration with Sweed Lashes! 

Both available at Kicks

I really like how this look turned out. The palette is a perfect color combination of what I feel comfortable to wear. It's a bold palette and quite a bold look, but you can certainly use it for a more subtle look as well. 

I hope you like the look and have a wonderful day!

Makeup Look - IsaDora Savannah

Hello dolls, 

For todays look I used the IsaDora Eyeshadow Quartet in Savannah Sunset. It's a very simple, yet romantic look with lots of lashes. Any lip color would work for this look. The pink lips look cute for this look, but now afterwards I think I would have preferred a more beige nude color. 

//Jag har använt IsaDoras Eyeshadow Quartet Savannah Sunset för att göra dagens look. Enkel men ändå romantisk med mycket fransar. Vilken färg som helst på läpparna skulle passa. Denna rosa combo är väldigt söt till. Nu i efterhand hade nog jag personligen använt ett mer beigefärgat läppstift.

Wedding Season - New Clients - Portfolio

Hello dolls,

The weekend before the last I had the honor to do the makeup of another bride! Before her wedding day we did a trial makeup to see what she would be comfortable with. Santa - the bride - doesn't usually wear a lot of makeup so in the end we decided to do a soft look using brown and bronze tones, paring it with a pink lip. 

Here are some photos of the gorgeous bride, her pretty maid of honor and her beautiful mom. 

THE BRIDE

For the bride I used the Too Faced Chocolate Bar and Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palettes and also ColourPop shadows. For the cheeks I used Michael Kors Bronze Powder (Unfortunately my camera is washing out the colors a bit) and one of my favorite lipsticks by KICKS Pink Ribbon.

The stunning bride Sanja

THE MAID OF HONOR

For the maid of honor I used the Morphe Brushed 35W palette. On the cheeks we have MAC blushes Fleur Power and Warm Soul. On the lips she chose KICKS Lipstick in Cashmere. 

The pretty maid of honor Natalia

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

The mother did not want a lot of make up at all because she wasn't used to it. So we did foundation, blush a colorful lip and just a soft wash of color on her eyes. 

The beautiful mother of the bride

Makeup Look - Pink Lips

Hello beautiful friends!

Todays look is all about a bright lip. Not much more to say about it. The soft eye makeup that I did is very versatile and works with any lip color of your choice. I had a new lipstick by KIKO so that's why I chose it for this look. Feel free to use your favorite lip color or why not try something bolder and perhaps outside your comfort zone - you might love it! 

Have a beautiful day :)

Makeup Look - Rosé

Hello ladies,

Todays look is a really simple one. I used to do looks like this all the time, when I worked more with loose pigments. Unfortunately I don't reach for my pigments as much anymore, but hopefully that will change. A look like this is very quick and easy. You don't need a pigment for this you can just as easily use a regular eyeshadow. What I did was just to put the loose pigment all over the lid, and when blending out the edges is gives the illusion of different colors. I also used a brown shadow on the outer part of the eye for a little bit of more effect. Perfect for when you're in a rush! 

Hope you're having a wonderful day!   

                                                            xoxo

Makeup Look - Inspired by

Hello dolls!

A few days ago I saw a picture on Instagram with a makeup look that I really fell in love with! I'm not 100 % sure who it was but I think it might have been the Swedish fashion blogger Kenza. She had brown/bronze shades on her lids and a hectic sparkly green color on the lower lash line. As I can't find the picture I can't recall what color she had on her lips. As i think it was a nude color I went with a nudish pink.

As I said, that look was fantastic! I wanted to recreate it, but tone it down a notch so it could be easier to wear for everyone. I'm probably going to wear it as intense when I do this look the next time, but I think the way I did it now turned out nice as well. 

Pictures and product list below a always. 

Wishing you all a beautiful Wednesday! 

Before starting with the makeup I prepped my skin with Sensai Silk 10 seconds Awakening Essence. What it does is that it awakens the skin and senses (just as the label says) and provides extra defence against UV rays and external stress. It's also called a "Cinderella cream". The light texture feels really good on the skin, feels fresh and sinks in to the skin quickly. 

I just read that it works great as a makeup primer. Nothing that I've heard before thou so I did use a "regular" primer this time. I'm going to try and use it as a primer next time. 

Side note: I usually write the products going face > brows > eyes > lips. But I usually start with my eye makeup first so that I don't get fall out on my foundation. It also makes wiping away mistakes much easier

On the mobile lids I mixed a bunch of MAC eyeshadows in brown and bronze shades. I didn't get the tone just as I wanted it at first so I just mixed. You don't need to use all the shades I did at all, just use 2-3 of your favorite brown/bronze shades and that will work just as well.
