Camo jacket & (kinda) faux freckles

It’s not the first time, that I steal my company’s clothing, while on a photoshoot. I think originally I wore my friend’s jacket, because we tried to protect my hairdo and if I would have worn my own hoodie, my hair would have been ruined. But somehow as soon as I put that jacket on, I knew, that we were meant to be. And somehow it became the star of this outfit. And now I need to find a jacket like this and buy it.

Originally though – I wanted to show off my new shoes in this outfit, which were once again a bargain from second hand store app Zadaa. I think they are so cute – and practically new.

Psst! Did you know you can shop my clothes and cosmetics on Zadaa? You can find my store on the Discover section.

faux freckles makeup

I’ve been obsessed with a natural, bronzy look lately. Here I’m wearing rose gold and bronze shades on my lids and a very light base. I accentuated my natural freckles with some makeup as well – a trick, that I’ve just learned, and absolutely love. What I do is go over my freckles with a fake freckles pen. That way the freckles look very natural.

Purple duochrome makeup tutorial

purple eyeshadow makeup look

I’m a massive fan of purple eyeshadow. Purple compliments blue and green eyes beautifully and it looks amazing on brown eyes as well, since it has blue in it. So brown eyeshadow isn’t the only one, that suits everyone. Purple comes right behind that!

Purple also looks amazing paired with a duochrome shade. In this look I used my *NYX Perfect Filter palette in the shade Marine Layer and it has this beautiful purple-turquoise duochrome shade in it. I’ve talked about Perfect Filter -palettes before, but they are honestly one of my favorite palettes. They come in a handy size, the quality in the shades is bomb and you can use the colors wet or dry.

Besides using that palette I also used one warm brown color from my other Perfect Filter palette (link to the tutorial made with that palette).

NYX Perfect Filter Marine Layer Palette Tutorial

purple duochrome tutorial

  1. Start by using a warm brown shade as your transition color. Contour your eye in your crease or above it, if your eye is hooded or deep set. Mine is deep set, so I contour my eye right where the natural shadow occurs. Apply this color also to your lower lashline and make it smoky. Blend this color well, so that it blends in to your skin flawlessly.  This is an important step, since it makes the base of the colors and it makes all the colors blend together seamlessly.
  2. Then start to create a halo effect, by adding purple to your outer and inner corners. Blend carefully those colors upwards and with a windshield motion combine them in your crease. You want the heaviest deposit of the color right in those corners, but you still want to make the halo (that round shape) visible.
  3. Add the duochrome shade where you applied the purple color and blend it well – but leave the middle of your lid quite bare. Apply this color also to your lower lashline.
  4. Add your halo effect to the middle of your lid by pressing on a light pink shade. I used the other duochrome shade from the palette. To make this pop, I also applied some of the lighter pink shade right in the middle of that color, so that it gets more definition.
  5. Finish the look with an inner corner highlight, optional liner and mascara or lashes. All done!

I may have – or may not have only done my one eye for the sake of this tutorial.

That’s it for the tutorial. What do you think of this look? Using a duochrome shade brings so much dimension to the look! I think I need more duochromes in my life.
