Shine bright like a diamond

I have some infection on my eye so I’ve not put makeup on them for a while. That doesn’t stop me from playing with other face makeup though. Now that my acne is worse I really enjoy putting an effor to my foundation. A full coverage foundation may look heavy and cakey but with blush, contour and highlight you can bring your face back to life. I’ve always loved sparkly and dewy cheeks and cheekbones so that’s what I did today. I chose warm, summery colours for my face. I applied peachy blush and paired it with warm girly light pink lips.

There is one problem with sparkly products though – they tend to make your impurities or texture on the skin show more. So actually for acne-prone skin a matte shade would be best. But I don’t really mind this and let myself sparkle all the way to the Africa if I want to.

I rarely show my makeup with glasses on but today I made an exception since I wasn’t wearing any makeup on them. They really help to bring the look together and bring some definition to my eyes!

I did a lot of makeup while I was in Kuopio. Actually I did makeup from breakfeast to dinner. I had some of my favourites with me since I couldn’t carry all my makeup with me. I did beautiful and quite different makeup looks with same products. Too Faced’s palette suits anyone and Rimmel’s new brow kit turned out to be quite nice too.

For Salla this was the first time when a professional did her makeup. Still she trusted me and even let me use green in her eyes which she actually loved and would have wanted even more. Maybe next time I’ll go full green-crazy with her!

But this is a good example of colour-use in a daily basis. It’s nothing too crazy but it’s there and it looks great. Right?

Ansu hoped for brown eye shadow and I achieved that with warm colours that really bring out her beautiful brown eyes. I added some colour with pink blush and lipstick. IsaDora’s lipstick was another new product that I wanted to test and I asked Ansu to tell me her thoughts on that. She said it was easy to apply, it lasted quite well and it felt nice and moisturising on the lips. A great lip product that is!

Nappu was the birthday girl. I did this beautiful golden halo eyemakeup on her which really complimented her huge blue eyes. Also I bough her one of my favourite products as a gift and used it as a blush. Zuii’s sparkling powder in the shade Berry really looked pretty with her flawless and glowing complexion.
