Makeup Monday: Pauliina

*adlink

Meet Pauliina – one of my friends who I’ve known since kindergarten. I will forever remember the moment I sat next to her on the windowsill and asked: “Will you play with me?”. Ever since that moment, we’ve been close friends. I’ve done her makeup a few times and I’m always excited to get to play with her features. This time we actually had a party to attend to, so I made her makeup glamorous with a bit of Kim K vibe.

Makeup Monday: Pauliina

Pauliina had a fresh self tan on, so I used a slightly darker foundation on her than I normally would use. For the eyes I used warm bronze shades, which you can’t go wrong with. Also, those are the shades that most ask for. But actually warm bronze shades are perfect for bright blue eyes. Illamasqua’s Nude Collection *Unveiled Artistry Palette is your perfect warm neutral palette with some wearable pops of colors too. The matte colors are super creamy and blendable and the metallic shades are super pigmented and pretty.

I also used a touch of pink glitter on the lid just to make the look a bit more extra.

For her lips I chose a warm nude with a glossy finish. I’m still all about glowy, shiny and glossy finishes. They just look more natural and fresh.

Products used:

beautyblender Bounce foundation 3.3
*Madara City CC, Medium Beige (I know, I just had to use it again! Mixed about half of this and half of foundation.)

What do you think of the look?

From the bottom of my heart

I don’t love Christmas, because the day was always perfect and lovely in my life. Though for the most part, it was. I know Christmas is a tough holiday for many and it would be for me too, if I didn’t make it my own.

I guess I love Christmas, because of my routines. I have a timetable for the whole day, yet it feels like the most day off than any other day in the year. It always feels like a special day – a day where I’m allowed to just be. This week is dedicated to spending a lot of time in my red pyjamas, eating a lot of chocolate, watching a ton of movies and seeing my friends and family. I know it’s gonna sound super cheesy, but I feel the Christmas spirit. Whatever that is. Love? I guess. I’m already feeling it.

So from the bottom of my heart, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

I hope you get to spend it however you wish.

P.S. You’ll find a tutorial to this black smokey eye on my Instagram Highlights.
