So even if disaster strikes I close my eyes and then I’m next to you .

So here's the look from the other day. I dragged out the eyeliner I usually always wear just to mix it up for a change.As previously mentioned when talking about my basic makeup routine, as I don't go out with the more brighter, stronger, more colourful makeup looks I do on here, my wonderproduct is MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown matte. I use it for everything. It's gorgeous in the crease of the eye. It's perfect for my colour eyebrows. It's perfection as shading! Eyeliner! Smokey eye! Blending out black smokey eye!
I can not possibly fault this one. Remember that just because it's the perfect shade for me, does not necessarily mean it is so for you. Especially on the eyebrows. However you can freehandedly go nuts with this MAC shadow on your eyes never mind your skin,- or haircolour! It's also quite a super safe choice for shading for anyone. Obviously if your skintone is on the darker side or the shadow itself you need to opt for a darker shadow. However for any skintones ligher than the shadow itself, it will work perfectly.

One mistake that people do far too easily is to use ones bronzer as shadong. NO PLEASE DON'T! Bronzer is extremely rarely the shade of a shadow in your face. It's always with an undertone which often is orange-y. Why this MAC shadow is such a safe choice is because it is the perfect shade of, well a shadow. It's a very grey-ish brown. So what one might want to do then is shade ones face with the shadow and then sweep a little bronzer over the face to get that lovely sunkissed look
Don't mix up these two!!

Never doubt what you're made of There's a hero in everyone.

Ok, so I had my fair bit of issues getting these pics of this makeup. It gets dark so quickly and I really don't have the proper type of lighting at home for this purpose. I am not happy with the pics and it did  unfortunately not bring out the makeup the way it really looked. However I hope I can find a way to get around this problem without having to ruin myself by getting that amaaazing makeup mirror I want and am completely in love with! Well in that case I could just as well sort out my own makeup room. Two birds you know... ;)

Oh, that reminds me. For today's look I was inspired by parrots but in a slightly softer and almost pastel like hues and tones. Hope you enjoy!

Today's look; Black/brown soft smokey eye.

Keep it simple. Keep it soft. With an added little pop of freshness and colour.

Never mind my hair. It has indeed seen better and fresher days however I'm in the middle of nowhere and letting it rest, for it's own good.....

You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic Baby you’re so classic.

Smokey brown eyeliner, freckles, blue eyes, blond hair. Ok scratch that. Blue eyes and blond hair don't make a summery look but freckles are so summery, right?
This is the look from the day before yesterday!

There are no bad hair days. Just good hat days.

The only way is up .

So, yet again, as this ain't no lifestyle blog I will not go into any details of my private life but I've been through something that makes me rather unable and unfit to do makeups and be very active for a little while. Depending on my fitness and how I feel next week I can do things accordingly to that. But for ow, please bare with me. Will post tips about products etc but for makeups you will have to wait just a little longer. I've got a little treat for you though. A makeup I did on Sunday. Enjoy.
