Who remembers Makeup Mondays?

I did my sister Jasmin’s makeup almost a year ago, yet I haven’t posted the results here. To be honest, I was unsure if I should continue the Makeup Monday posts. But after hearing positive feedback on them (and encouragement from my friends), I think I will. I love seeing the before and after. It’s also very refreshing to post someone else’s face here for a change.

Makeup Monday: My sister Jasmin

My sister Jasmin is creative, kind and fun. When she gets excited about something, the whole room lights up. She also loves adventures. A while back we both sat on her longboard and slid down a hill, laughing from the bottom of our hearts. It was raining and the weather was miserable, but somehow those things don’t matter that much when you’re fully enjoying the moment and making it memorable. I guess we are similar in some things, but also really different. I’m happy we’re friends as well as sisters.

Jasmin looks gorgeous in warm colors, so I went for warm colors. I chose an orange blush and bronze eyeshadow. This look turned out pretty basic (I’m sure I’ve done something similar for her before), but simple works. Jasmin also wears glasses and this look suited her gold rimmed glasses really well.

I think this makeup turned out beautiful and it suits Jasmin well! Also, I love how her skin looks in that Madara foundation. It’s just an awesome foundation, looks like skin, but better.

*Madara Skin Equal Foundation, 50
*Dr Paw Paw Multi-Purpose Balm, Orange
Morphe eyeshadows
*Nudestix Lip Pencil, Belle

Meet Adele – one of the few friends I actually met through blogging. She no longer writes a blog (I wish!), but when she did, she blogged about style. I love her style and she has this beautiful glamour about her. After doing Adele’s makeup she said she felt like a Disney princess. I would say that’s a success!

Makeup Monday: Adele

For Adele’s makeup I went for an elegant look that focuses on the eyes and the lips. Since Adele has big beautiful eyes and the makeup brings them out even more, I chose a red lip that balances the look. I used individual false lashes on her that really blended in nicely with her already voluminous lashes.

Adele had some skin redness, so I chose cool shades. That’s a great trick for anyone struggling with redness. Choose a cool red for the lips, a cool blush shade and cool eyeshadows to really brighten up the skin.

Also – I need to give a quick recommendation on the brow pencil I used on Adele and have been using a lot lately. *Delilah Brow Groom in the shade Sable is such a great brow product! The color is cool and suits both blondes and brunettes, it’s easy to create brow strokes or draw a thicker line with the pen, it lasts well and it comes with a spoolie brush. I got the brow pen from Lookfantastic Advent Calendar last year. Highly recommend it!
