5 days of makeup: pr-event makeup

This week I will be sharing five blog posts instead of the usual three. Five days, five posts, five different makeup looks.

Makeup for a pr-event

This makeup look I wore for an event. The event was about Medik8’s new r-retionate intense cream. The cream contains retinol (vitamin a), which is one of the most effective ingredients in preventing aging. I’ve heard about it so much lately, I’m excited to try this cream. Carefully though, because my skin is still quite young and sensitive. At first you start using the cream only twice per week. If I could stop my skin’s aging right now and succeed in preventing wrinkles, I would be very happy. We’ll see!

As usual for an event, I wanted to look presentable. This particular event was also a cocktail-party, so I had the opportunity to play a little. My look was pretty casual, warm tones in the eyes and rosy lip color, but I added some glitter on my lids to make it more sparkly and I did see some effort for my hair. I actually showed you how I did my hair on my Instagram stories (you can find the story on my ‘Naturally Curly’ Highlight).

Key products

The glitter I used was NYX’s Glitter Goals* liquid eyeshadow, which I’ve been loving lately. I have it in two shades. It’s so easy to work with, since the glitter is in a liquid form. It’s not messy and it’s easy to apply on top of an eyeshadow to bring just a touch of glitter on it. And it can also be used for a heavier coat of glitter. Under the glitter my main eyeshadow was Bobbi Brown’s Luxe eyeshadow in the shade Heat Ray*. That is possibly one of the most beautiful – and wearable – colors I know.

My base was done with the same old products, which you have probably seen here a million times. Lily Lolo’s foundation* is just so good. That lipstick* is also one of my favorites – no wonder I picked that as my favorite lipstick of the year.

My makeup room

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I clean up my makeup department pretty often. Every month, as my friend kindly reminded me. I don’t necessarily make huge changes, but I might switch up a few products and might get rid of something, that I’m not using anymore (or is getting old).

I like organizing. Keeping my favorite place clean makes sense, right? Also – those rushed mornings and new products that I tend to stack up on my table really do look messy after a day or two (okay, several days).

Yesterday I did some organizing again. I had to throw some old lipsticks away and I chose new products on display. I’ve started to store a part of my makeup in another dresser, so I also went through those boxes (what you see on the bed).

My makeup room setting

I have a special post about my vanity and makeup organization tips, where I show you exactly how I store my makeup. Not much have changed from that post, but nowadays I like to have less stuff on my table, so that my beautiful brushes and products get to shine.

Everyone always asks about the rotating makeup organizer, so that is from amazon*. And as said, everything else is linked on my other post!

This rose gold blush brush is my favorite – and it’s actually unbranded. I ordered it from amazon* as well.

And yes – I’m a short-haired lady nowadays. These are the first photos in my new hair here. What do you think? You will see some old photos still though, so don’t be alarmed if in the next post my hair is long again.

I wish you a happy weekend! We didn’t celebrate Valentine’s day yesterday, so today we will probably have a little date. My weekend plans also include a date with friends, a birthday party for a special 2-year-old girl and some kickboxing. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me.
