Blue eye make-up

Finally a day off, so i can experiment with make-up. I did a bleuish make-up. It 's not for everyday, because it has a blue eyeliner. If you change that to a black one, it could be an everyday make-up. Really cute when you have a blue top on in the same colors.

 

First picture is just a base, beige. I used a pearl eyeshadow from Bourjois, color beige-rosé. I always use this for a base, or just like that. It's a pretty color anyway.

Second i used the palet from Claire's. The quality isn't that good, especially for the lighter colors. But the blue is good, it stands out, just like it has to. The color most pops out on my eyelashes and the arc of my eyes. A classic method. I also used it under my eye.

Third, i did a brown in the arc of my eye, to give some more depth. I used the eyeshadow from H&M. I love the make-up from H&M, it's cheap and it's really pigmented.

And fourth, used a liquid eyeliner from Hema. That's a dutch company, has a lot of thing, and doesn't cost much. I love liquid eyeliners. I had to practice a lot, but now i can't miss it anymore!

Oh, and i didn't use mascara, because i'm going for a swim tonight, and don't wanna look like a panda... But as all off you know, mascara is essential!

Make-up i used

Make-up

Aaah, let's talk about make-up <3
I finished a course as a make-up artist, which was very interesting and i learned a lot. But sadly, i don't do much with it. I'll have to experiment/practice more! (But where's the time to do that?) I've come from never wearing make-up (like 2 years ago) to wearing make-up almost every day. But don't get me wrong, it's almost always a nude look. I don't like over the top make-up for every day. I think it's very important to have a smooth skin and healthy complexion. Those are the keywords. So, a proper care of your skin is very important, and don't forget the day cream, never ever forget day cream.

These are the things i use every day. My little beauty ritual in the morning.

1. Stay on cover stick from Nivea: This is the first thing i use after my day cream. I use it for the dark circles under my eyes and the red glow i naturally have. I've tried out a lot of cover sticks (no expensive ones) but this one is the best so far. The only thing that's bothering me a bit is, after a little while, it get's an odd smell. But it's not that bad, so i still like it a lot.

2. Mineral foundation from Maybelline: I don't use a liquid foundation like most of you, i don't know why... Got this from a friend who didn't like it, but i do! It's the lightest color there is, but i'm pretty pale. I hate the fact that there are some girls who think you have to get a darker foundation, to look tanned. No you don't, It! Looks! Fake!

3. Sculpting Blush from Bourjois: Ah, step 3, there we go. This is what i use to get a little bit of that tanned look. It doesn't really pop out, but like i said, i'm going for the nude look. And i look healthier with blush, everyone does.

4. Liquid Eyeliner from H&M: I only use this when i still have time in the morning. With eyeliner on, you have instant class. But it takes a lot of practice, and sometimes i still screw up.

5. Liner Effect Mascara from Bourjois: Last but not least, mascara. Tried a whole bunch, and this is absolutely my favorite! It promises a false liner effect, but i don't know... That's not what i get. But it's not what i need. My eyelashes get huge volume and are dramatic black. Just love it!

The brush is my moms, it's really old, but still perfectly good.

My make-up case, where i stash the make-up i don't use very often. In the summer i'll experiment with color again, already looking forward to that.
