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!

I don't know just how it happened. I let down my guard.

Hi guys!

Sorry for the bad update on the blog. The internet connection has been insanely bad. Here's however loads of pics on a makeup look I did today. Something very soft an summery. I prefer the look with nude glossy lips however if someone needs a bit more of a colour-pop then a bright pink or purple-ish lipstick would be a great addition to complete the look.
I've used a white shimmery eyeshadow with very light pink undertones, in the inner corners of the eyes, a coral-y blush as eyeshadow on the middle of the lid, and then smudged it all out with a medium grey eyeshadow to complete the look and give some soft smokey-ness and definition to the eye.
Hope you enjoy!

Shades of Grey.

Ok, I was running out of light. And fast. So didn't have time for anything more complicated. But who ever said simplicity isn't beautiful?

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.
