Metallic neutrals overload: copper and gold


This autumn is going to be all about metallics, we've all heard this over and over and my renovated love for all things gold and copper falls perfectly in tune with the season.


It all started out while trying out some new bits I got, among which a new cream eyeshadow from Essence and it escalated to this full on metallic look. I was inspired  by the gorgeous Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime, who has shown in here series Matchy Matchy how a one color look can work wonderfully, so I went on and put the aforementioned eyeshadow over my lips as well. 
Disclaimer has to be the horrified face of the boyfriend when seeing the lips and honestly I wouldn't go out like this, but I like it, so here it is!

  • Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 56 Light Bronze
  • Maybelline Fit Me Concealer 20

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.

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.
