How to - Brown Blues Glam

Hey guys! Long time, no chat! Sending out my sorry, but it has been a hectic period for me...exams, work, some big plans for the next year of school...^^ having a lot going on! Also, my Bday passed and I want to thank everybody that wished me all the best! Thank you once more!


Today I have a simple, easy to do makeup, but I for one find it extremely versatile and usable for both elegant and casual styles. I used only around 4 colors for the eyes, but some you can even skip if you don't like the idea *smiles*!

I applied in this order:
Eyelid: navy blue
Crease: light gray (to blend out the blue)
Outer corner and going into the crease: medium brown
Lower lashline (to accent the eyes) : soft, light brown
Highlight, inner corner and under the brow: shimmery white

On the eyelid I also used a blue pencil and added some lashes to make it more dramatic. The face is done as I usually do...


Tip:
- Blend, blend, blend and blend! Colors are better shown when there is a gradual fade to them!
- Use lighter formulas, but with a SPF! Brighter days came and you need an extra boost to protect your skin!


What I used:

Face:
* Alverde Mineral Make-up Foundation, shade 01 Naturelle;
* Alverde Mineral Camouflage Powder, shade Sand;
* Farmasi, Happy Face powder, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Tender Blush On, shade 169;
* Miss Sporty, Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed.

Eyes:
* Sephora Pallet (blues and greens -navy blue- + browns -shimmery white-);
* Maybelline quad, shade Chocolate Mousse (medium brown and light brown);
* Dior pallet, sorry I don't know the name of the pallet or that of the colors (light gray);
* Sephora Collections Pencile, shade white;
* Alverde Precision Mascara.

Lips:
* Bourjois, Effet 3D Les nudes, shade 35 Nude egeric.


Wishing you an easy and sunny end of the week!

Seventeen Look - Romantic bride ( Bridal Catalogue 2010 )

Hey guys! I hope you are all well!
We continue our bridal series with a softer, golden copper and purple look. It's simple, easy to do and won't feel like a lot is on.

Basically, I used 4 colors...Copper, gold, a deep plum and a soft shimmery white. Used the gold on the entire lid at first, darkened the outer corner and half of the crease with the plum, blending the two with the amber, while pulling it close to the inside cornet and up to the brow. The white was then used to highlight and make a blended line of the plum. Added mascara and lined the lower waterline of my eye. Simple, huh?

Face is also lightly done. Peach blush, a dash of bronzer on the hallows of the cheeks and temples, with a buttery yellow as a highlight on my forehead, nose, upper lip and chin.



What I used:

Face:
*mix between Stay Matte Foundation, shade 1 + a bit of shade 6 + Artistry Self Defining Sheer Foundation, shade Fawn;
* Farmasi, Camouflage Concealer Liquid, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Happy Face powder, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Tender Blush On, shade 169;
* Miss Sporty, Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed;
* Miss Sporty, Mono Eye Shadow, shade 111 Tender.

Eyes:
* I <3 Just U, Perfect Eyes, Set no.1 (second row, second color, copper);
* Oriflame, Mono Eye Shadow Visions, shade Chic;
* Bourjois, Mono Eye Shadow, shade 71 Raffine;
* Ada liner, shade black;
* Farmasi, Catwalk Illusion Mascara, shade black.

Lips:
* Farmasi, Gleam Rouge Liquid Lipstick, shades 13+20;
*Bourjois, Effet 3D Les nudes, shade 35 Nude egeric.

Hope you enjoy it!
Kissu!

P.s.: Yes...I do dye my hair myself. I went through a lot of colors, but mostly I use either Syoss products (during winter) or henna (during summer). I dye it, now, after about 3 month (in winter) and once or twice in summer (cuz' you can't really keep a nice long color with the sun and sea, during the hot months). Right now I have a mix of: full pack of "Chocolate Brown" + half pack "Intense red" + 1/4 "Dark brown", all Syoss. If you want to know how I do it, some tips and trick, please comment below. Kissu!

Chocolate for the strawberrys - a V'day look

Second on the list, is a deep, chocolate brown smokey eye, just waiting to be tried out with that sexy lace you have brought for Valentines Day.

For all of those that want to be sexy, but still keep it elegant...Why not give it a try?




Tips:
1. No...I do not pucker up my lips. I use different colors to make an illusion. You can achieve this so: color your lips with the desired color; in the center of the lips, put a lighter color => You get an instant 3D effect.
2. You can plump up your lips even more, by highlighting your "cupids bow"...meaning your upper lip's bow. Also...you can use a shade of brown, darker than your skin, to put under your lower lip, creating a shade => more plumpy.

What I used:

Face:
*mix between Stay Matte Foundation, shade 1 + a bit of shade 6 + Artistry Self Defining Sheer Foundation, shade Fawn;
* Farmasi, Camouflage Concealer Liquid, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Happy Face powder, shade 03;
* Elf, Natural Radiance Blusher, shade Innocence;
* Miss Sporty, Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed;
* Miss Sporty, Mono Eye Shadow, shade 111 Tender.

Eyes:
* E. Funkhouser creme eye liner, shade Graphite (put it under the shadows; it will mix with them once you put them above);
* Sephora Pallet (browns);
* Sephora Collections Pencile, shade white;
* Farmasi, Catwalk Illusion Mascara, shade black.

Lips:
* Sephora Collections Lipgloss, shade nude;
* Farmasi, Gleam Rouge Liquide Lipstick, shade 20.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Simple and elegant - a V-day Look

Valentines day is here again and even you have an invitation for a romantic day with your partner, if you are still looking for somebody or you're either not looking at all, just waiting for a Cupids arrow, you look for the day can be a huge hint to your true self.

The first look of the series is a classic vintage look, perfect for the new trend that has been going on some time now. I do hope you enjoy it.




You can go nude all the way, or make a statement and wear a bold red lip (and make a stamp on his shirts collar *evil laugh*).



Tips:
1. Put the red lipstick, stamp it with a tissue and then top it off with a red lipgloss. It will last longer, not make too much transfer, and will still leave some color on your lips, after you eat and drink....or kiss ^^;;.
2. Put some highlighter on the apples of your cheeks, forehead, tip of the nose, upper lip and chin. It will give you a glowy, fresh and healthy look.

What I used:

Face:
*mix between Stay Matte Foundation, shade 1 + a bit of shade 6 + Artistry Self Defining Sheer Foundation, shade Fawn;
* Farmasi, Camouflage Concealer Liquid, shade 03;
* Farmasi, Happy Face powder, shade 03;
* Elf, Natural Radiance Blusher, shade Innocence;
* Miss Sporty, Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed;
* Miss Sporty, Mono Eye Shadow, shade 111 Tender.

Eyes:
* Sephora Pallet (browns);
* Maybelline quad, shade Chocolate Mousse;
* E. Funkhouser creme eye liner, shade Graphite;
* Sephora Collections Pencile, shade white;
* Farmasi, Catwalk Illusion Mascara, shade black.

Lips:
* Sephora Collections Lipgloss, shade nude;
or
* Farmasi, Gleam Rouge Liquide Lipstick, shade 17 or 16.


Happy Valentines Day!

Avertisment!!!

Pentru toti cei care nu au destul timp, chef sau considera ca nu este necesar sa se uite pe ingredientele produselor care le cumpara!! Nu conteaza niciodata ambalajele frumos colorate sau dozele de parfum dintr-un produs!!

De fiecare data cand mergeti la cumparaturi si doriti sa cumparati detergeti, produse pentru igiena corpului sau intima, produse pentru igiena bucala, sau produse pentru bebelusi, cititi cu atentie ingredientele pentru a verifica daca contin SLS ( Sodium Lauryl Sulfate ) sau SLES ( Sodium Laureth Sulfate).

Acesti ingredienti sunt adaugati in compozitia cosmeticelor noastre pentru a crea mai multa spuma atunci cand le utilizam. Insa acestia sunt derivati din acid sulfuric si pot cauza probleme fatale in cazul utilizarii indelungate!

Aveti grija de corpurile voastre, cititi intotdeauna ceea ce contin produsele care le consumati sau utilizati! Oricum traim intr-o lume extrem de poluata...de ce sa aducem un adaos a acestora in corpurile noastre?!

The neutral zone

Products used:

Face: * Farmasi hydravite fondation, shade 05;
* Farmasi Camouflage Concealer Liquid, shade 03;
* Radiant Perfect Finish Powder, shade 10;
* Farmasi Tender Blush On, shade 01.

Eyes: personal products.

But I used:
- a flesh toned shadow on the entire lid;
- a chocolate brown to create a shadow and under the eye;
- a light shimmery white under the brow and inside the eye corner;
- lined the inner upper lash line with a black and also a little above the lashline, to make it fuller.

Hope you like it!

The neutral zone

So today I'm gonna show you how to put a twist to the daily make-up. I'm going to use the same steps as before, but with a little extra. We are just going to add a trick to make your eyes appear longer and i would also add that these are the steps in achieving a pin up look.






So I used just a black crayon right above the eye lashes. If you have a steady hand you can use this alone, and with practice you''l get one. Try to go as close to the lash line as you can, keep an uninterrupted line and try to make it thicker towards the end. If you want u can make a wing, not too long for it will no longer be a natural all day long look . I always recommend if you have time to add above a thin layer of eye shadow the same color. This will help the liner stick better and not smudge.

That is all for today,
Kissu.

The neutral zone

To start off, I'm gonna begin with some easy, classy, sexy neutrals, perfect for day and very esy to transit to an evening look. I use these looks everyday and doesn't take me more then 5 min. When you will get used to it, it might even take you lesser time.

The first look today is:
Just foundation, powder, a lil' blush and bronzing powder, topped off with a dash of mascara.

Face: * L'oreal Visible Lift, shade 105 Porcelain (yes..I'm that white)
* Golden Rose Silky Touch Compact Powder, shade 05
* Miss Sporty Bronzing Powder, shade Sun Kissed
* Farmasi Tender Blush On, shade 169
Eyes: * Maybelline Colossal Volume Express
Lips: * Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick, shade 070 Airy Fairy.

That's about it for this one. Have a nice day and a nice night.

Kissu
