Makeup Monday continues! In this series I have chosen some interesting people to sit in my makeup chair and fulfilled my vision for their makeup. Here is the third beauty I had the pleasure to work with: Iines.

Makeup Monday: Iines

Iines is another one of those people I like to think of as super women. She is a professional blogger (actually, she was among the first to create a popular blog in Finland!), she works with social media and she is a toddler mom. It was so nice to meet her and talk about blogging and life. Another fun fact about Iines is that she is also very into DIY-projects and work. I have actually bought a hand-knit top from her, which I showed you in this post.

For her makeup, I had a vision of a soft smokey eye paired with fresh skin and lips. I think a dramatic eye works so well with her freckles and warm tones. Iines has big beautiful blue eyes, which I emphasized with warm browns.

I couldn’t help, but use the same *Madara City CC Cream, that I have now used on every makeup I’ve done so far. It just goes to show how great that product is and how it suits so many skin types. I mixed some bounce foundation into that though, to make the color match to Iines’ tan. I set the face lightly with my favorite powder, added a bronzer, a peachy blush and a golden highlight.

As for the soft smokey eye, I used a palette I had kind of forgotten about. It’s *Morphe’s 3205 palette, which has a nice selection of warm neutrals. The pigment is good and it’s an easy palette to work with. The nude lipstick is one of my go-to nude colors, *IsaDora Twist-Up Gloss Stick in Boho Beige.

Don’t forget to check out Iines’ blog and her Instagram, where she by the way shares some amazing travel photos.

In my Monday Makeup series I have chosen some interesting people to sit in my makeup chair and fulfilled my vision for their makeup. Here is the second beauty I want to introduce you to: Iida.

Makeup Monday: Iida

I have followed Iida on her Instagram and blog for quite some time now and I was so excited to meet her and work on her gorgeous features. Iida is a warm person, who’s easy to talk to just about anything. I really admire Iida’s bravery to talk about difficult subjects on her blog and the way she is fearlessly herself. She has the ability to share her everyday life in a relatable and interesting way.

For Iida’s makeup I knew I wanted to use bronze orange tones in her eyes to go with her natural hair color and freckles. I also had a bold lip color in mind for her, which she luckily fell in love with too. That burgundy lip color was made for her! The color is *Revlon’s Black Cherry, which is one of my favorite Fall lip colors.

For Iida’s skin I used the same CC-cream I’ve been using on myself and on other people constantly. It’s *Madara’s City CC-cream, which deserves all the praise I’ve given it. I also used my *Kjaer Weis cream blush, which is another product, that seems to work on so many different skin tones and types. The color is natural, like you’re glowing from within. For highlight, I couldn’t help, but pair it with the *Bareminerals Joy Highlight. Since that has pinky and peachy tones in it, it goes perfectly with that cream blush color.
