Finally, two hours after I started uploading it, it’s finally up! Hurry up watching it before Youtube decides to block it again, they seem to enjoy doing that with my videoes you see. Anyone know of any good triks to keep the videoes from being blocked (besides having no music, or cc music)?
Remember to change the quality to 1080p HD :D
I hope you enjoyed the video, and that you’re having a lovely Thursday evening! :D
The beauty trend this season follows the feminine fashion trend, and I love this!! It’s all about being sweet, girly and innocent with healthy skin, pink cheeks and curled lashes. This is a look that is flattering to everyone, and it doesn’t take much time or effort to achieve.
Healthy glowy skin
If your skin is dry and dull, aim for products that gives you glow and a dewy finish. If your skin is oily and shiny, aim for products that are oil free and minimizes pores. You need a primer to keep your makeup in place, a foundation or tinted moisturiser will even out your skintone.
Dry/normal skin: Primer HERE,Tinted moisturiser HERE // Oily skin: Primer HERE, foundation HERE
Brighten your under eye area to make your eyes look bigger and more awake, this will also make your face appear younger and more youthful. Don’t apply the under eye concealer under your whole eye, but focus it on where you actually have a darker colour which is normally just in the inner corners and down like shown in the picture below. Don’t forget to set the under eye concealer with a lightreflecting concealer powder, this will prevent creasing throughout the day. An under eye concealer like the Touche Eclat can be used for so much more which can have dramatic effect on your face if you know how to use it.
Applying a hint of a more shimmery highlighter to the cheek bones will enhance those modelesque high cheekbones and give your face more structure. A little goes a long way, I like to apply it just on the top of the cheekbones. If you have very oily skin you should stay away from shimmery products and use a light matte product instead like a foundation in a lighter shade than your skin.

Pink Cheeks
A flush of pink in the cheeks is what gives the innocent fresh look. Be sure you place it in a flattering way for your face shape. Creams works really well for dry/normal skin and will look more natural on the skin, whilst powder blushes are more suitable for oily skin as they will stay put longer.
Sunset tint HERE // Pink tint HERE // Powder blush HERE (the shades “Orgasm” and “Deep Throat” suits most complexions)
Lips and eyes
This season it’s up tp you what you want to do with your lips, bold and fun colours are just as trendy as nude and bare lips. The perfect partner to lips in crime or a naturally innocent pout is beautiful curled dramatic lashes.

Nail it!
I love the idea of pairing nails with sunglasses, belts, shoe soles what ever the pop of colour it is, with all over neutrals like beige. Pastels are huge this season, but you can never go wrong with neon either :) Remeber to file down your nails (or make them pointy), long square nails with bright colours are not pretty. And if you’re still holding on to the very long square french manicure you might want to consider letting it go now as it’s not so chic with porn star nails anymore :)

This is so scary.. Please let me know what you think in the comment section so that I can improve the videoes in the future :)
Hope you’re all having a lovely Sunday :*
Christmas is right around the corner which means the most festive season of the year has arrived. Why not try something different that brings all attention to the eyes with a sparkle of gold, and a cateye flick like Angelina Jolie is always seen with? It’s easy (only five steps) but still very glamorous and suitable for all eye colours and all occasions.
1. Start with a bronze base. I used Mac paint pot in Indianwood which I applied on the lid and under the eye.
2. Apply a very light brown colour to the crease to get an nice gradient effect, you can also apply a nude shade on the brow bone. I used Mac Cork and Brule.
3. Apply a darker shade on the outer corner to create depth and blend it softly in to avoid any harsh edges.
4. Apply a bronze colour on 2/3 of the eye leaving the outer corner where you placed the darker shade. I used Bronze from Mac. Then place a bright and sprakly gold just in the midle of the lid to bring light to your eyes. I used a golden dazzle dust from Barry M.
5. Apply eyeliner, falsies (optional) and mascara and you’re done, the party can begin :) I used Loreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner, Dior Show mascara and Ardell Invisiband “Fairies” lashes.
A lot of people don’t like autumn. I’m not one of them. I love autumn! You get to wear cozy clothes and read a good book surrounded by candles. You get to stay in without feeling bad because it’s raining outside. You also get to wear a little bit more makeup on the daytime as compared to summer. This tutorial features a very wearable look that will go for any eye colour and suit all kinds of occasions. It’s very subtle, but it gives you an illusion of natural beauty. Best of all, it doesn’t take you much time, you don’t need a lot of products, and it’s very easy.
1. Start with getting a bright and even base on your lid and under your eye. I’ve used Mac Painterly paint pot on the lid and Mac Select Moisturecover in NW15 under the lid to cover dark circles. Finish off with a wash of a nude colour over the base all over the lid all the way up to the brows, I’ve used Blanc Type by Mac applied with a Mac 224 which is a big and fluffy brush.
2. Use a very light warm matte brown colour to contour the brow bone. Bring it quite far up and slightly outwards and up towards the end of the brow. We will go in with a darker shadow to contour even more later on, but now we just want a soft gradient effect. I’ve used Soft Brown by Mac which I applied with a Sigma E25 (same as Mac 217) which is my all time favorite brush for blending.
3. Take a brown shadow a smidgen darker (still a very light brown) and focus it on the area directly under the brow bone to make it stand out more and blend it carefully into the lighter brown to emphasize the gradient effect. Drag the brush across back and forth and apply a little by little. I use a very soft hand and only the tip of the tip of the brush for this. I used an eyeshadow called Cork from Mac and applied it with the same brush as I used for the lighter brown, the Sigma E25.
4. Apply a golden shimmery shadow on the lid and in the inner corner. Try to not get any of the shimmer into the matte brown shadows we have applied on the brow bone. I used Nylon from Mac and applied it with a Mac 239. Then apply a brown shadow along the lower lashline with a thin brush. I used 214 from Sigma (don’t remember the new number) to apply Mac Espresso.
5. Use a liquid eyeliner to line up your lash line flicking it slightly out. If you find it difficult I recommend using a pencil liner to line up first and then use the liquid liner to line up with, this way it’s easier to correct any mistakes. I used Loreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss in black.
6. Apply false lashes (optional) and mascara. If you wish to make your eyes look bigger, you can apply a white/nude eyeliner on the inner rims of your lower lash lines. I used sweeties lashes from Ardell, DiorShow Extase mascara and Stila kajal liner in the colour Topaz. Tadaaa, you’re done:D
I made this makeup look before my first photo shoot as I wanted something slightly different and fun at the same time as it’s not too crazy and came up with this.
I used:
The first time I did the look (for the photoshoot) I used Mac Satin Taupe instead of Nyx Iced Mocha, but I dropped it on the floor a while back and I have forgotten to buy a new one. Iced Mocha is often referred to as a dupe of Satin Taupe, so I’m using that.
1. Start with priming your eye lids both above and under your eye, and do your eyebrows as you normally do.
2. Place the jumbo eyepencil in Iced Mocha on the lid (or Mac Satin Taupe eyeshadow). Isn’t the iced mocha just gorgeous?
3. Take a blending brush and apply some of Copperplate and Kid in the crease. I like to use Kid to get a nice gradient finish as it is a very natural brown shade colour but I chose to use Copperplate as well to make it slightly more smokey towards the outer corner.
4. Take the same brush and apply a darker colour in the outer corner to give some more definition. I chose to use Mystery. If you need some inspiration for new daytime makeup looks you can stop at this point and apply one coat of mascara and you’re done. Super chic. If you’re looking for something more fun then keep on reading.
5. To make the purple colour more vibrant it’s a good idea to use a purple base as well, I chose to use the Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Purple.
6. Pack on the pigment Violet from Mac on top of the Purple JEP to make it really stick on.
7. Line your lash line with a black creamy eye liner, I love to use Stila eye liners for these purposes as it is really long lasting and easy to apply. Make sure you really tight line the lash line so that you get a nice and intense eye.
8. Take a pointy brush like the Sigma SS219 (don’t remember the new name!) and smudge out the lower lashline with a black eyeshadow so that you get a gradient finish from the black and over to the violet colour. Smudge a little bit extra towards the outer corner. Dab the colour on top of the line you made on your upper lash line so that the line stays in place for longer. Clean up any mess, and take a blending brush and blend out the violet colour with the light brown Kid eyeshadow. Apply some of Blanc Type on your brow bone for a more defined brow.
9. Apply mascara (and false lashes if you want some extra pow), and you’re done :D
I’ve had a million questions about what lip product I used, and I’m sorry to say that it’s simply a clear plumping lipgloss from Dior (Maximizer).
I forgot the lipliner at home so I had to use my brow liner which worked perfectly fine for the photoshoot but I wouldn’t recommend it for anywhere else. The rest of my face is covered in lots of powder with a dash of Fleur Power from Mac in the apples of my cheeks as well as some contouring products which I’ll tell you all about some other time as it really is something that only works for photoshoots.
I hope you enjoyed the makeup tutorial. If you don’t like purple you can easily switch it out with turquoise, green or even a metallic copper or gold :) xx
I’m still really happy I’m reunited with my Naked palette from Urban Decay!! I promised you guys that I would do several makeup tutorials using the palette and in this tutorial I show you how you can get a club/night makeup with only using the Naked palette :)
1. Start with priming your eyelids with the mini primer potion that came with the palette. Make sure you get it underneath your eye as well. Take a flat brush and pad on the shadow called Gunmetal all over your lid. I’ve used a Sigma E 60 large shader brush.
2. Take a big fluffy brush and blend in some of Naked into the crease and a little bit above to create a smooth transistion from dark to light on the brow bone. I used Sigma E35 – large blending brush.
3. To get some play of light and to draw the focus to your eye – place Virgin on top of Gunmetal on the middle part of your lid, undernath your eye and by the tear duct. Virgin now turns into a beautiful light bluish metallic shadow.
4. Enhance this even more by blending Creep into the outer corner both on the lid and underneath the eye like in the picture below.
5. Next step is to darken the crease a little bit more by blending in Buck just in the crease (not as far up as Naked). My favorite blending brush for this purpose is Sigma’s small tapered blending brush E45.
6. Apply falsies, eyeliner and mascara and your finished :) I’ve used my favorite falsies from Ardell, Demi Wispies, and liquid liner from L’oreal and Dior Dior Show mascara.
Let’s go clubbing!!! :D
Time to get Naked!!! :)
This is a shimmery brown gold and bronze look that I think suits most people and is perfect for the daytime when you want some makeup on your eyes as well but don’t want it to be too much. Bronze and golds are really pretty for summer and with slightly sunkissed skin and bright summery lips you are more than ready for a hot summer date! James repeatedly announced his facination wiuth this makeup look and has been swarming around me all day :)
I’m sorry some of the pictures are a bit blurry, I don’t know what happend but I’m guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I haven’t really found a good spot with enough light for taking pictures yet so the camera has difficulty focusing. I’ll try to find a solution so that the next tutorials are better.
All of the eyeshadows used in this tutorial are from the Urban Decay Naked palette and I’ve marked the shadows I’ve used with stars:
1. Start by priming your eye lid with the little primer potion that comes with the palette. You don’t need much and it’s only needed up to the crease and underneath your eye so this little container is going to last for a long time. Take a big fluffy brush like Sigma E40 and fluff on some “Naked” (soft matte brown) into the crease and a little bit above so that you get a soft transition colour from the crease up to the brow bone. Then take some of “Virgin” (light shimmery highlight) and fluff it on right underneath the brow and by the tear duct.
2. Use a flat brush to apply “Smog” (shimmery bronze brown) to the outer half of the lid. I used Sigma E55.
3. Use the other side of the same flat brush to apply some of “Half Baked” (shimmery gold) on the inner half of the lid and blend them together to get a nice transition.
4. Take a medium sized fluffy brush and apply some of “Buck” into the crease but not as far up as you put “Naked” because we still want a nice transition. I’ve used my favorite brush E25 from Sigma.
5. Apply “Darkhorse” to the outer v with a small round pencil brush like Sigma E30 and put some underneath the eye as well so that the lower lashline is connected to the upper lashline. This gives some nice depth without being too harsh for the daytime.
6. Apply Half Baked underneath the eye between Virgin and Darkhorse to pop in some gold here as well.
7. Apply mascara and brown gel liner, and you1′re done :) (I’ve used lashes as well – had to try out the new lashes I got from Madame Madeline, these are called Sexies which I thought suited a Naked look ;) ) I kept it fairly simple on the rest of the face, just using a bronzer from Guerlain and a pink lipstick from Chanel. My hair is also quite simply styled, using only salt water spray to create a beachy wavy Serne Van Der Woodsen style ;)
In a lot of my makeup tutorials I use a really easy technique for getting a soft eyeliner which takes a maximum of 30 seconds to get perfect. This techinque can also be used for a simple and pretty daytime look whenever you want to use neutral colours or a pop of fresh colour to compliment your eye colour.
1. As always we start with priming our eyelid to make sure that the makeup will last all day. Make sure you get some on the outer corner as well if you want a winged eyeliner like Angelina Jolie. I’ve used Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Get your favorite gel liner and line your lash line. You can choose if you want it to end in the outer corner of if you want a little wing. If you want to wing it a little, make sure it’s at an angle with the outer corner of your eye and the end of the eyebrow. The great thing about this technique is that it does not need to be perfect, but do it fast so that it won’t dry before you get the chance to smudge it. I’ve used Bobbi Brown Black Ink with a E05 brush from Sigma.
3. Take whatever colour you want your line to be on a small brush and smudge out the liner with the eye shadow. You can use brown or black for a neutral look, or go for a colour that will compliment your eye colour. Since I have brown eyes I like to use green which brings out my brown eyes. I’ve used Humid from Mac with a E20 brush from Sigma.
4. …and apply mascara. How easy was that? :)
I’ve done a lot of smokey eyes recently so I felt like something more fun and flirty and decided to do a look with gold, peachy-pink and deep berry – kind of like a Tequila Sunrise ;)
1. Start with priming your eyelid. If you don´t prime your eyelids your makeup is going to end up underneath your eyes or smudged out all over the place. If you have very oily eye lids or are planning on a long night with lots of dancing I recommend using a primer like the Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath your cream base. My eye lids aren´t that oily so I´m only using Mac Paint pot in Bare Study, which is a really pretty golden shimmery beige and will enhance the gold eyeshadow we are putting on top later on. Put some underneath the eye as well. After priming, apply a matte skin toned eyeshadow on the brow bone – this will make it easier to blend later on. My favorite eyeshadow for this purpose is Mac Brulé.
2. Take a flat brush and apply a light gold in the middle of the eye lid. You will get a better result if you pack the colour on rather than brushing it on. Take also some of the same light gold eyeshadow and brush it into the inner corner of the eye, this will open up your eyes. I used a Mac 239 brush to apply AMC Shine 30 from Inglot, a really pretty gold from a brand that deserves much more attention than it gets. We are talking high quality at really low prices, the down side is that it´s really difficult to get a hold of most places in the world. This makeup addict sniffed it out in Dubai. Yay :)
3. Use a small fluffy brush to apply a fun pinky peach colour almost all the way to the outer corner. Peach and gold is such a beautiful combination! I used a Sigma E45 to apply Mac Paradisco. I also used a little bit of Cranberry in the outer corner which is a a deep berry colour that gives some nice depth to the eye with the peach and gold. The transition from light gold to peachy pink to the deep berry is beautiful and perfect for summer!
4. Put some underneath your eye as well. Gold in the inner corner, peachypink in the middle and a berry colour in the outer corner to meet up with the berry colour in the outer corner of the lid.
5. To soften it up take a big fluffy brush and blend in a soft brown to the crease. I´ve used a E25 brush from Sigma to blend in Kid from Mac.
6. Add falsies if you wish and finish of with mascara and a thin line of liquid eyeliner. If you are lookig for some extra oomph you can apply some glitter on top of the gold in the midle which gives a nice gleam to the eye . I used Midnight Cowboy Heavy Metal glitterliner from Urban Decay and just dabbed some onto the lid.
On my skin I used the very much loved Nars Sheer Glow which is the best foundation for covering up flaws at the same time as making your skin look glowy, healthy and natural. I use the shade Fiji which is something like a Mac NC25-30, if you´re more of a NC15-20 I recommend Deauville. These are the only two shades I have but if I get more tanned this summer I’m definitely getting another one and I’ve heard that Barcelona is supposed to be a nice colour for NC30 so it will probably be that one!
After I applied the foundation I brushed on some loose powder from Chanel, applied a “beauty powder” called Shy Beauty (LE) from mac as a blush and the highlighter part from the Mac Wonder Woman msf Pink Power (LE) on the cheek bones and finished off with a pink sheer lipgloss from Chanel.
Most of the brushes I use are from Sigma Beauty which you can get here. Most of the eyshadows i’ve used in this tutorial are from Mac which can be a bit difficult to get some places in the world but you can easily change some of these shadows to shadows from other brands like the eyeshadow duo Nars Hula Hula.
I hope you enjoyed it and I would be happy to recieve other makeup requests in the comment section!! :)
