New Year’s Eve Makeup Ideas

After a long year, a special evening always comes: I am,of course, talking about New Year’s Eve, where not only the clothes,but even makeup, are considered. Unless your plans are watching the ball drop at home wearing pajamas, you surely need to think about what to wear, which,unfortunately, I can’t provide you this time as I’m still trying to figure out myself, and makeup. During New Year’s Eve, makeup must be sparkly and different from the one you do everyday. In fact, actually, the golden rule in every New Year’s Eve is only one: shine, always be on top with your personal look and have that glam touch envied by everyone! 🙂

So, let’s get started! ———->

FOR THE FACE:

1. As the night is long and you want your makeup to last, I suggest that you apply a face primer.

2.Then apply with your fingers or with a brush your favorite foundation and some concealer to cover blemishes or dark under eyes circles.

3. Take a face brush or a puff and apply some loose powder to set foundation and concealer.

4. Apply a baby pink blush to your cheekbone.

5. To get a tanned look, I suggest that you take a bronzer (even the ones with some glitters in it) and apply it to your temples, cheeks and lower jaw in a 3 shape.

FOR THE EYES:

For the eyes I decided to show you a smokey eye look in metallic and sparkly shades.

1. To make the eyeshadows last longer, I suggest that you apply a primer on your eyelid.

2. As a base, I use a nude color (n.1) from my Sephora Purple Smokey Eyes palette.

3. Then I apply the eyeshadow “Underground” from the Bad Girl palette by Sleek to my eyelid.

4. After that I take the eyeshadow “Noir” from the same palette and apply it from the middle of the lid to the outer lid.

5. Then I take the eyeshadow “Gun Metal” and apply it to the crease and a little bit to the outer lid.

6. I take a soft brush and blend all the eyeshadows together.

7. I take  white shimmery eyeshadow and apply it to the middle of the lid.

8. I take the eyeshadow “Innocence” and apply it under the brows and in the inner conner to highlight.

9. I apply some black liquid eyeliner. This time I used the pen one.

10. Finally, I take my favorite mascara and apply it to both to my top and bottom eyelashes to define the look.

FOR THE LIPS:

For the lips you can decide whether to complete the look in a strong way or to go for a nude look.

So, for a strong look I suggest a bright red lipstick to highlight your lips.

Instead, if you want to go for a nude look, I suggest a baby pink lipstick that,matched with a lip gloss, is the right makeup to feel comfortable on New Year’s Eve.

So, I wish you a happy new year and I hope all your dreams will come true in 2014! Thank you all,

talk to you next year hahahaha! xoxo

How to get Smokey Eyes

Hello everyone! I always try to write once a week but this last week has been very tiring for me as I had tests everyday at school and I also had an exam on Saturday! Anyway, today I want to show you how to get smokey eyes step-by-step. Smokey Eyes have been a trend for such a long time and they don’t seem to be disappearing. Smokey Eyes can be done in every color: it’s up to you!:-) Today I am going to show you the classic one that is created with grey/black one. It suits every eyes color and it is quite easy to do and gives you a more sophisticated look. Let’s get started! ——–>

1. If you want your eyeshadow to last longer I suggest you use a primer, which you simply swipe across the eye with your finger and wait for it to dry before moving onto the next step.

2. For the base take a light shimmery grey eyeshadow and sweep it over your entire eyelid.

3. Then take a very dark gray or a black eyeshadow and apply it beginning at the outside corner of your eyes and be sure to apply it not too far in.

4. Take a black and shimmery eyeshadow  and, using a crease brush, sweep it on your outer crease in a “>” shape.

5. Take a blend brush and blend in all the eyeshadows starting at the lash line and blending up.

6. Now take a white eyeshadow and apply it under you eyebrows and in the inner corner of your eyes to highlight your eyes. Then take a eye pencil in butter and apply it to the lower water line.

6. Apply mascara both on the upper lashes and on the bottom ones.

 

7. If you want a more dramatic look use an eyeliner to do a thin line. As I personally don’t really like eyeliner as I thing it doesn’t look good on me, I prefer to draw a line with a black pencil towards the outer lid.

I hope you find this post interesting, and these two pictures show the finish look. Thank you and talk to you soon! 🙂

Pretty Little Liars Inspired Make-up

Hey,I’m back and today I’m going to show you how to “copy” Pretty Little Liars’ girls make-up! I’m very excited about this article ’cause I’m really in love with Pretty Little Liars! For the people who don’t know this tv programme, I highly reccomend it to you and you will thank me for it! 🙂 It talks about  girl, one of them dies one night and a year later they start to receive strange messages from “A”. “A” knows everything, their secrets (that only the dead friend knew) ,where they are etc. and they have to discover who “A” is.

So these are the inspired make-up:

-Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson): she usually puts on a lot of make-up on her eyes, but it looks very good. On the face she always has a soft color, so you just want to put on some foundation, set it with a light powder and apply a pinkish blush on your cheeks. Now it’s time for the eyes. I’m taking a light brown color from my Sephora palette and apply it to my eye-lid. Then I’m taking a darker brown and apply it to the eye lid and a copper eye shadow and blend the 3 colors with the specific brush. With the same copper eye shadow, I’m taking the eyeliner brush and do a thin line under the eyes, really close to the water line. Now it’s time for the eyeliner. All we have to do is a thin line just above the lashes, but the line has to start 3 millimetres (0,1 inches) from the eye corner. Finally we have to apply a lot of mascara or, if you prefer, you can wear false lashes and a nude and shiny lip gloss.

-Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario): this make up is realy similar to Hanna’s one. The base is the same as above and now let’s move to the eyes. I’m taking a creamy eye-shadow and apply it on the eye lid. Now I’m taking a light brown eye-shadow and apply it on the eye lid starting from the half of the eye. Now I’m taking a darker brown color and apply it only to the end of the eye. Then I do a line with black eye liner, apply mascara and a shiny gloss.

-Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale): the base is always the same. For the eyes, I’m taking a brown eye-shadow and apply it to the eye lid. Then I’m taking a darker brown and blend it with the lighter one. Now I’m taking the black eye liner and do a pretty thick line near the lashes and then apply a black pencil to the water line. To make it last longer apply some black eye shadow with the eye liner brush to the water line. Then I apply some black mascara and a coral lip gloss. Her distinguishing trait are for sure her marked eyebrows. To make them look like the Aria’s ones, all we have to do is take a dark pencil for eyebrows and make them look bigger and thick by doing little lines.

-Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell): as before, the base is the same. Emily, though, usually wears a really soft make-up so we just have to take 2 or 3 different brownish eye-shadows and apply them to the eye lid. To complete the look, we apply some black mascara and a pink,shiny lip gloss.

Back to school make-up

Hey everyone! Today I’m going to show you 2 diffferent make-up for back to school.

At school you just want to have a light make-up because heavy make-up is better if worn at parties or discos and because teachers might not take you seriously if you wear, for example, dark eye shadows.

So these are my make-up ideas for back to school:

1) For the first make-up I’m using my BB cream (from KIKO) and apply it all over my face with my fingers. Then I take my MAC concealer and put it on spots and under my eyes. To set everything I’m using a light powder n.101 (again,from KIKO) with a big brush from Forever 21. For my cheeks I like to use the Maybelline PURE BLUSH MINERAL in QUARTZ PEACH (n.40) and apply it with a smaller brush again from Forever 21. For the eyes, as we want to look fresh, I take the MAC FELINE KOHL POWER EYE PENCIL in black and do a very thin line on the end of my eyelid, just above the lashes. Last, but not least, is mascara. As I like to have very big lashes, I normally use to mascaras: the Maybelline COLOSSAL VOLUME EXPRESS MASCARA and the Sephora ATOMIC VOLUME MASCARA both in black. To complete the entire make-up I like to put on a pinkish lip gloss, like the Bourjois EFFECT 3D MAX GLOSS  LONG TENUE 8H n.11.

Optional: if you’d like to have more defined eye brows all you have to do is take any kind of eye brows pencil of the color of your brows and be sure to apply it by making small lines.

2) For the second make-up, I use the same BB cream, concealer, powder and           blush but for the  eyes I’m going with a little bit different look. I take my very         big palette from Sephora which has 98 different eye-shadows and 84 different       lip gloss. So, I take a light golden eye-shadow (3rd in the 1st line in the bottom photo) with the crease brush from Forever 21 and apply it to my lid. Then I take a light brown colour (4th in the 3rd line) and apply it to my lid but just from the middle of the lid to the end of it. Finally I take a brown eye-shadow (4th in the 6th line) and apply it only to the end of my lid to make it a littlemore intense. Then I use the same 2 mascaras I used in the first make-up an for my lips I put on my KIKO extra volume lipgloss in n.10 which is simply amazing!

So, these are my make-up ideas for back to school. I hope you like them and please comment what you think. And STAY TUNED because more articles are coming!
