Emerald smokey eye and OOTD


Good evening beauties!
Tonight a bit of a different post, I want to share with you an outfit I wore on Saturday for a dinner with friends. Saturday was finally a nice and warm day and I felt like I wanted to wear some bright color and white, so here I ended up with a pair of emerald shorts from Primark and a white shirt from New Yorker. Although it as warm during the day, it's The Netherlands so I had to wear tights, and black was all I had home, sigh... overall, I added a pair of black studded boots and I was good to go!




For the makeup, I used my usual base as I described here, and for the smokey eyes I used the green shades from the Sleek Curacao palette which has made it again to the top of my palette stash thanks to its gorgeous colors ad good quality eyeshadows. I cannot praise it enough!
On my cheeks The Body Shop Bronzing Pearls and on the lips the L'Oréal Caresse in 200 Princess.



Do you wear colorful makeup? I cannot have enough these days!!!

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

Image
 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

The Color Analysis Wars Part 1: introduction and ambivalent reds

Image
Welcome to the first of The Color Analysis Wars! In this series in collaboration with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime , we will explore some principles of Colour Analysis by comparing lipsticks on ourselves. If your are new to the concept of Seasonal Color Analysis, I will add here a piece written by Rachel at Truth is Beauty : Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part. Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are. To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.   You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you. The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth ,  chroma (brightness),  and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
