Pink gold sparkling winter morning

Hey Beauties!

This makeup was inspired by that gorgeous nail polish from Catrice's Crushed Crystals collection called 04 Oyster & Champagne, that I reviewed here. You probably now by now that I love gold and something with that pink sparkle in it, just made me do this makeup. The fact that I shot this makeup in the morning, when the sun was hitting the snow outside my window, made it look even warmer. That's why the name of this post ;).


I started with putting a light white shimmering pigment all over my lid. Then I put a pink shade in the middle. In the inner corner I used light champagne color.


On the inner third away form the inner corner I used gold shade. I did the same on the outer third of the eye. Then I basically put the same shades on the same place on the lower lid. Finished with a black winged liner and lots of mascara.



And that is how sparkly this looks in the morning light.


So did I come close to this nail polish? 


The rest of the face I kept very simple. A little big of champagne highlighter on the tops of cheeks and a new Maybelline Colorama blush in a slightly more champagne brown toned shade. This blush is also very shimmery so it gives a nice glow. Which is basically a whole theme of this look, isn't it? Sparkle, sparkle and sparkle :). Oh, and on the lips a used a fuchsia red lipstick.

My basic everyday makeup routine

Hey Beauties!

Everybody has a basic makeup routine and I wanted to share mine. Although, if you watched most of my makeup tutorials, I am sure you've figured it out ;). I do this kind of makeup everyday, when I rush to classes. For some this maybe too much, for me is just enough :).


Of course I start with foundation. I use foundation brush, because it's less messy. Then, I tend to go to eye makeup and leave concealer after eye makeup is done.

For the eyes I start with filling my eyebrows. I do this with eye brow pencil, because I find it lasts all day. Next is a basic eye shadow shade all over my lid. I use different shade combinations, here I went for pinky purple brownish shades. I like to use matte eye shadow, which is darker then the base and use it in my crease. Actually, I use it a bit higher then my actual crease. I'm faking my crease to make it seem like it's higher. I have slightly hooded eyes and find that this works great for enlarging the eye lid space. Sometimes I put the same shade around my lower lash line and sometimes I don't even bother with that. I also love using shimmery eye shadow in the inner corner of the eye. It just makes me feel that little more alive :).


I don't like using eye liner everyday, because it's too difficult to make it perfect and takes too much time. So I go for black eye shadow instead, which I use as a thin line around upper lash line. I also like to winged it out, just a little, so my eyes don't look droopy :). Next is curling my lashes. I swear by this. It just makes the biggest difference with any eye makeup. It extends the length of lashes. Finishing eye makeup with nice volumising mascara. 





Then I go in with concealer, to conceal everything that the foundation hasn't and cover up my under eye circles. Highlighter is one of the products that I am loving. I use it on top of my cheeks, everyday. If I have enough time, I also put it down my nose and on the cupids bow, especially if I tend to use lipstick. Blush is also a must have. It goes a little on the top of cheeks and a little behind, almost using it as a contour.


As far as lips goes, there's mostly just a lip balm. Sometimes I use nude lipsticks and sometimes I use darker lipsticks as a stain, finger smudging it around my lips in thin layers. And I'm finishes. It takes me around 20 minutes to do this every day. I think that's pretty fair, do you? :)
