FAVORITE MAKEUP LOOKS **** ENGLISH FRIDAY

Like I mentioned in my last post I love makeup and I figured it would be helpful for you not only to see the products I use but also to see the makeup looks I created with them. I have chosen 4 different makeup looks I have wore in the past few months for different occasions that I really like. I will go through the products that I used but also why I decided on that makeup look for that specific situation or event and where you can find them. I hope you guys like it and find it useful somehow. So let´s begin!

Weekend Makeup (church or lunch with the family): On my weekends I normally go to church or have lunch with my boyfriend and family, so this particular look I wore to church. I know it may be a bit tricky to wear makeup to church sometimes but it all depends on how comfortable you feel doing it. I normally try to look put together but I stay away from super smokey eyes and bright lips. So I think you could say this one is a a more natural makeup look.I decided to use a redish-cooper tone on my eyes and create a very sutil smokey eye, I used brown liner in my upper lash line (I find that using a pencil liner gives your look a more natural finish than using liquid liner), and a nude liner in my waterline which opens up my eyes more, also I have dark brown mascara on. The rest of my face I kept it very simple, besides foundation and powder, I just add a bit of bronzer just to give a bit of color to my face and a bronze blush to my cheeks for added color and dimension. On my lips I only have a lip liner that is somewhat similar to my real lip color and some lip balm to make the color look more natural on my lips.

Anniversary Makeup: This makeup look I wore to our anniversary dinner. This was not a super formal dinner but of course I wanted to look nice because it is an important day. For this look I did use a primer before my foundation to make my makeup look better and last longer. I kept my eye shadow look very natural using a champagne sparkly color all over the lid and a rose gold in my crease and put the main focus of the eyes in the winged eyeliner and black voluminizing mascara to finish the look. Again contoured my face a little bit and used a very natural blush to give a little of color to my cheeks and finished with a nude lip and a bit of highlighter.

Work Party: Every now and then we have special dinners or parties at work and you want to look a bit more produced than you do on an every day basis. Therefore, I decided to use a red lipstick on this day and made that the focus of my makeup look. Since I knew this was going to be a night time makeup I created a sutil smokey eyes (not too smokey because again the main focus is the lips) and use winged eyeliner and put some black eyeliner on my waterline as well. As in all my looks and bit of highlight and contour and a berry tone blush on my cheeks. I have always believe that a good way to spice up your makeup look is with a bright lip for those special occasions in which you want to look different and show another side of your personality.

Fashion Show / Social Event: This final look I wore to a fashion show I was invited to. This was a bit more formal so I did put a bit more of effort into it. Based on my outfit I decided I wanted to ware a deep burgundy color on my lips, so I kept my eyes more on the neutral side with pinks but as always did my winged eyeliner and voluminizing mascara to give my eyes a pop. I went a bit more strong with the highlight and contour and used a berry blush to give my cheeks some color.
