Avon Rare Flowers Night Orchid Makeup

Inspiracija za današnji makeup je nova Avon Rare Flowers Night Orchid dišava. To je parfumska voda, ki združuje note črne orhideje, zlate gardenije in grenke pomaranče. Sama bi jo opisala kot spomladansko cvetlično sladko dišavo. Je čutna, elegantna dišava, ki poleg cvetličnih not združuje tudi ravno dovolj globine in sladkosti, da bo primerna tako za v pisarno kot tudi toplejše večere.

Rosy Spring Makeup

I was inspired to do this makeup look, when I saw Hailee Steinfeld's Capital Letters Music Video. This was her first look in the video in a hotel room and I loved how glowy and simple it looked. She has even slightly lighter warm brown eyeshadow paired with rosy cheeks and lips. So I created my own version that is perfect for spring. I'm sick of this snow that keeps on hanging out in my backyard, so I'm already in the spring mood. Hence the spring makeup look. 

Natural Mauve

I love the neutral brownish mauve look that Ariana Grande usually wears and it seems to be her staple. When I saw her video for Everyday (which is probably the most low budget video ever), I couldn't help but watch her makeup. Mauve is usually more reserved for fall time and to me it looks cool toned, but I still wanted to make an inspired look by that video. Turns out mauve is quite a neutral shade that works on cooler and warmer skin tones. It's a very natural look with that mauve haze to it.


I started my eye makeup with eyeshadow primer and I set it with beige matte color. For the crease I first used a very light matte warm brown. Then I used slightly darker and cooler matte brown. On the lid I used a mixture of light mauve and an even lighter lavender shade. This eye look is all about matte shades that give you that subtle mauve haze.


I drew winged black liner that Ariana also seems to wear often. Then I applied light matte beige in the inner corners to slightly brighten them up. On the bottom lash line I used the same browns and mauves. I also applied mascara and half lashes that wing out at the ends. With these lashes you'll add a bit of volume, but it will still be very natural and it will accentuate winged liner shape.



Ariana seems to prefer a more matte looking skin, so I used slightly higher coverage foundation and powdered it down. I also used a bit of very light bronzer to warm up my skin tone. For highlighter I used light powder with subtle sheen. Nothing too glowy for this look. I used dirty mauve blush to compliment the rest of the makeup. 

Her lips always look browner on the outside and more mauve pink on the inner part. So I mixed mauve brown shade with a light mauve shade on top. I also used nude lip liner underneath to slightly overdraw my lip line. I rounded out my Cupid's bow, because she usually does the same.




Natural light was running out of my room, so I didn't have much time to recreate her two buns, but I tried my best. It looked like she had french braids and then put them into two buns. I obviously don't have hair extensions and my hair has no volume, so I did my best with what I have.

Taylor Swift Bad Blood inspired makeup - winged smoky eye

Hey Beauties!

This new song of Taylor Swift has been stuck in my mind lately. Ok, I'll admit it's not just stuck there, I constantly play the video again and again. I'll admit I probably wouldn't like the song as much, if I haven't seen the video. It has all the latest famous young female models, actresses and singers in it. If you haven't checked it out yet, go to YouTube and type in Taylor Swift feat. Kendrick Lamar Bad Blood. Just don't blame me, if you'll find yourself watching it over and over again.

I really liked her winged smoky eyes that she wears dressed as a modern solider when The Trinity girls are dressing her up. So, I decided I just had to do it. By no means I'm recreating her makeup, because I can't exactly see what she has on, but I just decided to do my own version.


I used matte black eyeshadow and applied it all over the lid, a bit over the crease and winged it out at the outer corner. I find this looks great on hooded eyes too, since Taylor also had a bit smaller eyes and if you wing it out enough, it will look just as fierce.


Then I also added black eyeshadow all over the lower lash line. I took black gel eyeliner and did a little wing, thinning the wing as I went out.


I used black gel pencil around the lower lash line and smudged it. You can apply it on the water line, but this irritates my eyes, so I skipped it.Then I applied a bit of mascara.


I added fluttery lashes, which are longer at the outer edge and done is the eye makeup.




I used foundation all over my face and concealed my dark circles and redness. Then I put a bit of powder. I decided to just use grey based brown eyeshadow to contour under my cheeks, around the hairline, temples, my jaw and my nose. I used beige gold highlighter to highlight tops of cheeks, on top of the brow arch, center of the nose and a bit on the chin. For blush I decided to use a very neutral blush in brown peach shade, because I felt like Taylor didn't have any.


On my lips I used pink based nude lipstick and went over with a transparent lip gloss.


Not sure if I would go shopping with this look, but it is definitely fun bold eye makeup. Would you ever wear anything like that out?
