5 days of makeup: Sun & Moon glow

zuii organic sun bronzer moon highlight

I recently got some new Zuii Organic products to try out and this look was inspired by them. This was also my date look, since me and Risto celebrated Valentine’s Day a bit late. This look ended up being super dewy – thanks to all the new and old Zuii products I have.

My base was done with Zuii’s foundation (I didn’t remember how dewy it looks on my skin!) and I also used Zuii’s blush, bronzer and highlight. I tried the bronzer and highlight for the first time in this look – and both of those products turned out to be lovely. I’ve now used them a couple of times and I can give you a mini review.

Zuii Organic Sun Bronzer & Moon Highlight

The Sun bronzer* applies silky smooth on my skin and I love how bronzed it makes my skin without looking crazy. The color is very warm and best on neutral or warm skintones. It’s not too orange on my skin, but I reckon it’s gonna look even better, when I’m slightly more tanned. It has shimmer in it, but it’s quite subtle and beautiful on the skin.

I applied the bronzer on my temples, cheeks, nose and chin. I also wore it as my eyeshadow.

The Moon highlight* is a very intense highlight that also applies very smoothly on the skin (thanks to Zuii’s unique powder formula). I think the name Moon is very suitable, since the glow it gives can possibly be seen all the way to the moon. The color tone it has is quite cool, so on warmer skintones a little goes a long way. I think people with cool skintone would really appreciate this color! When I compare this highlight to Zuii’s Shimmer Diamond Sparkle Blushes (which are basically loose highlights), I think this is more intense than those.

I wore the highlight on my cheekbones, nose, cupid’s bow, forehead – a bit all over. I also wore it as my eyeshadow.

BEST MAKEUP PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR 2018

This year I most definitely wanted to choose my ultimate favorite products of the year AKA the best beauty products of the year. I already did a post about my favorite skincare products here, so today it’s time for the makeup category.

These makeup products were my ultimate favorites last year. I use most of them daily and they are also the products I’m likely to travel with.

BEST MAKEUP PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR 2018

best makeup of the year lily lolo mineral makeup foundation catrice liquid camouflage concealer tony moly smooth primer

TonyMoly Silky Smooth Balm*
This primer smooths all my pores and texture and makes my skin silky soft. I love to use this with liquid foundations. It also makes my foundation last longer so if I need my makeup to last from early morning until late at night, I choose this one. The packaging is not the most convenient, but it’s fun and pretty.

Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer*
I was so surprised to find an affordable concealer like this that I actually liked. Especially as I was so hooked on the NARS RCC. As the name suggests the concealer is very high coverage and more on the thick-side. The longevity is great. This concealer I have been using all year long and I have a feeling I will be buying it in the future as well.

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation, Popcorn*
I got some Lily Lolo products at the end of the year, but I immediately knew I had found gold. I honestly think Lily Lolo’s mineral base is the best mineral foundation I have tried. It’s just so soft, easily blendable and it lasts well. And it’s very affordable! I love to use mineral makeup, because it actually has some skincare benefits as well.

essence princess lash mascara

essence Lash Princess Mascara*
My lashes are very small and they need a lot of volume and definition. Essence’s mascaras practically cost nothing, yet they are awesome. I think this one is so far my favorite from essence’s mascaras. It’s funny, because I usually prefer rubber wands.

mad4eyebrow The Natural Brow Filler
I can’t imagine life without this weird brow product. It’s a mineral powder with lots and lots of fibres – meaning it’s great at giving volume and definition. And it lasts really well. I buy mine from @kosmetologianu in Helsinki.

Jane Iredale Retractable Brow Pencil, Ash Blonde*
To make my brows perfect, I finish them off by drawing brow strokes with a thin brow pencil like this. I can also sharpen any lines easily with this. I love that the product comes with a spoolie brush.

Jane Iredale Triple Luxe Lipstick*
When it comes to the best lipstick consistency, Jane Iredale takes the crown with their new Triple Lux lipsticks. It just feels invisible on the lips, the color payoff is great and the packaging is luxurious. I have two shades and I used a lighter rosy shade (Rose) all throughout the summer. At the end of the year I got this beautiful classic red color, Gwen.

Bobbi Brown Lux Eye Shadows: Heat Ray & High Octane*
To me, these are luxury. They spark joy in me (#konmari, right?) just when I look at them. I also think these two shades are very versatile. The golden Heat Ray is great for every day looks, whereas the purple High Octane one is made for smokey eyes and parties. And what’s best about these is that they can be applied with a finger. Actually, they work best that way. I also sometimes wear them on top of each other and have gotten lots of compliments on my eye shadow.
