Easy Christmas Makeup With a Twist

Sorry about the lack of posts here in the past few days! I've been doing some makeup looks but honestly, the lighting here in Sweden this time a year sucks. Big time. I did this makeup look a couple of days back but I was first very unsure whether to publish it or not because the colors in the tutorial pictures is very, very un-true. The red somehow stands out a lot more than it should and the golden bronze looks dull and brown. Meh! *___*

Anyway, I had to experiment a lot with taking the photos of the finished look, trying out different angles to capture the tiny glitter particles in the eyeshadows.

Step 1. Makeup Geek gel liner Mobster, used as a dark base.

Step 2. Makeup Geek eyeshadow Bada bing applied in the outer corner.

Step 3. Makeup Geek Glamorous applied on the inner part of the lid and and on the lower lid.

Step 4. Red eyeshadow in the crease (Makeup Geek Razzleberry). Blend!

Step 5. Black eyeliner pencil on waterline (Illamasqua S.O.P.H.I.E.).

Step 6. Foundation, concealer, powder and eyebrows. :)

Step 7. Highlight inner corner with NYX Milk and on top of that matte white eyeshadow. Use only the eyeshadow underneath your eyebrows. Isadora Glossy Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner used to draw a line with a flick.

Step 8. Use the liquid eyeliner to draw two more flicks for a little bit more unique look. Mascara and false lashes. 

Step 9. Put on a red lipstick and you're good to go! :)

Have you decided yet what kind of makeup you will wear for Christmas? New years eve? :) Do you prefer colorful looks or more "classic" looks?

Thank you for reading and hope to see you again soon! :)

Ravenclaw

Hello makeup-lovers and fellow spooks! :) 

Today I was browsing through the unedited, old pictures in my camera and found a look that I decided to do something about. I've wanted to do a series of looks inspired by the Hogwarts houses for a long time now - or a remake actually since I did such a thing about a year ago, when I was pretty inexperienced in the art of makeup. :) So, the look I found today would be very suitable for for the house of Ravenclaw. :)

If you want to find out which house you're in you should do this House Sorting Test which is time consuming but fun. :) I've done it a several times but I always get the same answer; GRYFFINDOR!
I like Gryffindor so that's okay with me.

The utterly pretty golden bronze color I've used at the outer corner and on my waterline is Glamorous by Makeup Geek.

I miss my septum piercing sooo much! :( For those of you who don't know I had to take it away because it got skew and no matter how much love I showed it it just wouldn't straighten up. The good thing about it is that I can redo it for free (my piercing studio is amazing!) and I have about two weeks left on the healing time. Yay! :D

This eye makeup is pretty combined with a glowing red lip and cute rosy blush on the cheeks. :)

Just for fun I'm going to show you the Ravenclaw look I did last year. ;) 

I sure have progressed a lot since then both in makeup- and photography skills. :)

Last but not least, I have a question for you guys: What is, in your opinion, the most important thing about makeup for school? 

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this. :) As you might guess, I'm planning on doing a/a couple of school makeup looks. 

Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you again soon! :)
