Inspired: 60s trend - Twiggy

Hey!

I have never done a celebrity inspired makeup and I have a party coming up! The theme is "60s"!
So who else could I use as a reference other than Twiggy!


This is a very simple yet graphic look. I think that false lashes aren't necessary.:) And fake freckles go very well with the look.:)

"Private beach" eye look!


Hey guys!

Every day I go through a list of my favorite blogs and youtube subscriptions and I'd say this is kind of a hobby of mine. It's really fun to see what other people come up with and what they have to share, isn't it?

Today I was really inspired by a nail look done by Nail Nerd which you can find here HERE !
I saw this and fell in love with it! I am so excited that I feel like calling this THE look of summer! 

I really wanted to try it out but my nails are currently 'growing' and 'resting' … 
Also I thought I'd enhance this look a bit and add gold polish on the tips (and I did try it out on my toenails, love it!)

And the more I was looking at the pictures and thinking about it, I thought "why not use this concept for an eye look?"

And so I did!

Here's some pics of what I used BUT everything can be substituted with other products. Be creative! :)



1. Apply white pencil as a base on the lid and slightly wing it out (shape the eye shadow to your liking). 

2. Take a light blue shadow with a dense shadow brush and apply it on the base. 

3. Take a warm chocolate shadow with a fluffy brush, use it to blend the blue and also place it in the crease (just to give some definition and also to neutralize the blue a tiny bit and warm up the look as blue is kind of cold). Find a shape for shadows that complements you the most!

4. Line the lower lash line with a creamy eye shadow (gives a base).

5. On top of the creamy shadow - place the gold in the inner half. With a taupe color - smoke out the outer half of lower lash line.

6. Finally - line the upper lash line (I suggest brown eye liner, black can be too harsh; besides brown will also add warmth), slightly wing it out. Mascara.




Aaaaand finito! 



I am a bit proud of myself to be honest because I feel like I found a way to wear blue on my eyes! I've never been too fond of blue eye shadows (maybe because I think that it actually looks better on blonds)  but this is just really fun and summery! And reminds me of sea, sun light reflection on water surface! So I called this look - "Private beach"!


Hope this will remind you to  enjoy summer while it lasts! Have a great time!

Inspired: Copper summer eyes!

Hey guys!

As today I was having my morning coffee and looking throught new videos on 'youtube' from my favourite youtubers, I got inspired by Jen from http://www.frmheadtotoe.com  to do a coppery eye look ( Jen's Bronzed Goddess Makeup Tutorial ). Love her videos! :)

I really love doing a copper look especially because I feel that it brings out my eye colour!

As this is a really simple look, here's a comic book style step-by-step:



Yup!
oh, and one thing I'd like to point out is that it's important to know your eyes and how eye shadows look better on you, concerning crease area. :)
Also, adding gold in your inner corners will really warm up your eyes and add summer feel to the whole look!

More result pics!



So this is my todays eye look!

Have a lovely day!
