Facechart makeup


After my make-up course in London on The University Of The Arts, I did some freelance make-up, but after a while my job at the nursery took over and I just did not have the time anymore. 
I then decided to practice on make-up charts and I thought it would also be a great way for me to get more makeup related posts up on the blog. 
I would like to mention that this is my first time doing make-up on a face chart! 

Question: Do any of you struggle with showing off your makeup on pictures?? 







Product list: 

Sleek Face contour kit
Bourjouis Delice de Soleil
MAC Mineralize skinfinish in medium
Topshop blush in Good Girl
MAC eyeshadows in Myth and Woodwinked
IsaDora Perfect lipliner in 28 Nude skin
Eyelashes are made with a Zig cleancolor pen in 010 black from Prochart


I think I'm going to call her Leah.


as always

WIWB-Why its worth buying part 2


 WIWB-Why its worth buying

Benefit "GimmeBrow"





I know i'm very late with this review, but I have had this lovely product for quite a while, and I thought that if some of you still haven't tried it, i would give you a few reasons as to why you should! 

I use the colour light/medium and it is a brilliant ashy toned colour. It has no red undertones which is very important because my face already has those! The colour is also extremely buildable without going chumpy or crispy.  It gets all the little hairs and stay on very well, even after a full day of work. 
The micro-mini wand really seems to give you more precision. It is definetly a long-wearing formula that doesn't give you those stiff brows. Its great for filling in gaps ans keeping unruly hairs in place. 
After my opinion it is all you can ask for in a brow gel!

WIWB-Why its worth buying part 1

 WIWB - Why Its Worth Buying 

- YSL Touche Èclat highlighter pen




This Yves Saint Laurent product has been raved about many times, and  when my parents went to Nice on Holiday I asked my mom to get it for me (although it wasn't much cheaper in France) 

I will start out by saying that I really like this hightlighter. I love how subtle a glow this gives on my skin. It blends smoothly and looks very flawless. It looks radient and healthy.
I will say that this product is not for concealing, its more of a highlighting pen with no shimmer, and no glitter. It just gives a pure glowing skin. 

The design: 
The packaging is beautiful and very elegant.
The brush makes for easy application and not much wastage!

The wear: 
Good - It has a light coverage, great for daily wear that isn't heavy or cakey
Bad - It is not going to cover any dark circles og blemishes (dont expect it to be a concealer with coverage)

Price:
Pricy
290 danish kroner
Around 48 dollars
Around 30 pounds

Bonus
Its fragrance free

Playing around with atumn colours

Playing around with atumn colours







I am beyond excited for atumn and all that comes with it! (Warm sweaters, lit candles, warm drinks and after that comes winter and CHRISTMAS!)
When it comes to make-up in the colder months, the colours get darker and bold dark lips are almost a must-do! But it is very much outside of my comfort zone, so that is why i am playing around with these colours now, just to get use to them.

Jeg glæder mig rigtig meget til efterår, og alt hvad det medbringer! Eftersom at modige farverige læber er et efterårs must-do, er det på tide at jeg vænner mig til det! 

The lipstick is Medina by GOSH (Medina is a danish singer, but there are lots of dupes!)
and the BEAUTIFUL blush Sleek in "Antique"
Læbestiften er af Medina by GOSH og blushen er fra Sleek og hedder "Antique" 

Anyone else trying to get used to the darker autumn colours?
Er der andre end mig der skal vænne sig til efterårsfarverne?

10 great beauty tips

10 of my best beauty tips! 10 af mine bedste skønhedstips


1.      Cover up dark circles by applying concealer in a triangle shape.
Dæk poserne under øjnene, ved at lægge concealer i en trekantet form under øjet.





2.      Learn how to set your lipstick so it LASTS - After you have applied your lipstick, hold a tissue over your lips and lightly dust translucent powder over the tissue.
Lær hvordan man får læbestiften til at holde - Efter du har lagt læbestiften, læg et lommetørklæde over læberne og støv en lille smule gennemsigtig pudder over.






3.      Stick your eyelash curler in your bra while you’re getting ready for a longer lasting curl.
Put din øjenvippebukker ned i bh'en mens du gør dig klar, for at forlænge effekten.

4.      You should apply dry shampoo the evening before, not the morning of - Apply dry shampoo BEFORE you go to bed. The tossing and turning will help to work it in the hair, eliminating any white powder blotches, and you’ll wake up with more volume.
Put din tørshampoo i håret om aftenen inden du skal have håret til at sidde rigtigt. Når du vender og drejer dig om natten, hjælper det produktet til at virke og fjerner det eventuelle hvide "støv" der kan forekomme. derudover giver det mere volume.



5.      Use white eyeliner to accentuate your cupid’s bow.
Brug en hvid eyeliner til at fremhæve amor buen i overlæben.



6.      Check your makeup when you get into your car - The different light source will expose any makeup mistakes you might have missed in your bathroom.
Tjek din make-up når du kommer ud i bilen, lyset er anderledes og viser derfor hvis der skulle være nogle make-up fejl, som man har misset derhjemme. 


7.      Rescue a dried-up mascara with a mug of boiling water.
Du kan redde din udtørrede mascara ved at sætte den ned i kop med kogende vand.


.
8.      When applying mascara, sweep the brush toward your nose, not toward your temples - It will make your eyes seem wider and more awake.
Når du tager mascara på, så børst over mod næsen i stedet for op mod øjenbrynet. Det vil få dine øjne til at virke bredere og mere vågne. 

9.      Know where to apply your perfume so it lasts all day – Behind the ear, inside the wrist, base of the throat, inside the elbow and behind the knee.
Lær hvor du skal sprøjte din parfume på, så den holder hele dagen. 



10.  This one easy step will make your eyes brighter and more noticeable – use a shimmer eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eye
Sidst men ikke mindst, er der et lille tip, som vil gøre dine øje lysere og mere iØJEfaldene (get it?) - brug en lys glimmer øjenskygge i øjenkrogen for at opnå dette. 


I really hope you can use these simple beauty tips!

Colours - The new trend?

Colours - The new trend?


Jeg er i øjeblikket med i konkurrencen om at blive L'oreals nye trendsætter, og her er opgaven i anden kvalifikations runde at forsøge og forudsige hvad den næste store trend bliver. Selvom at jeg allerede er kommet med til semifinalen (YAY) synes jeg det er et meget sjovt emne, og har derfor valgt at lave dette opslag.
På trods af at jeg næsten uden undtagelse holder mig til sort og gråt i vinterhalvåret, tror jeg at det er på tide med nogle farver. Dette tror jeg kommer til at gælde både inde for mode- og skønheds verdenen. 

Jeg har fundet nogle fine eksempler på tøj som jeg gerne ville bevæge mig ud af min komfort zone for! 
  





Color!



Kate Moss reklamerer i øjeblikket for en ny række produkter hun har lavet i samarbejde med Rimmel, og de passer rigtig fint sammen med den teori om, at den næste store trend bliver noget med farver. 








Har du lyst til at prøve nogle af L'oreals produkter, er her nogle af deres initiativer på en 80er agtig farverig makeup.





Jeg vil i hvert fald forsøge at bevæge mig mere ud i nogle farver, og jeg håber i fandt lidt inspiration til selv at prøve noget lidt mere dristigt.

Jeg konkurrerer i Trendsetter Search på www.lorealparis.dk

Lots of love - Caroline
