3 WINTER MAKEUP LOOKS PERFECT FOR ME

Hello ladies,

It’s such a beautiful day where I live. It’s sunny and quite warm even though it’s winter. Winter, as you all already know, is one of my least favourite seasons of the year, but I have to admit that I love different makeup looks when it comes to this time of the year. I can finally get out my darker shades of lipsticks and just experiment with them more. So for today’s post I want to show my 3 favourite makeup looks for winter. I have to tell you that they are the easiest makeup looks you’ll ever see because I don’t like to complicate things. I like to try new things of course but I don’t want it to take up a lot of my time. Yeah I’m a fussy person like that.

The 3 looks that you’ll see today are definitely something I wear on daily basis. I love to wake up in the morning and already know what I’m going to do to my face. Biggest focus is definitely on the lips. I am obsessed with wearing dark lipstick. I believe it makes the whole makeup look more fresh and sophisticated.

The first makeup look is called ‘’Dark Lips’’. For my eyes I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette. I chose the darker shades in it. For the base I chose the colour Chocolate Cookie, for the crease I took Strapless and for the outer corner of the eye I opted for the mix of Risqué and Sexspresso. You can tell that the eyes are still quite nude, but I chose darker shades. The main focus is definitely the lips. I outlined my lips with a lip liner from S-he in the shade 003 and the lipstick is by Misslyn in the shade 119. I am obsessed with this colour, but I also like to switch this colour with the one by Mac in the shade A45 and it is called Quelle surprise. These two lipsticks are definitely my favourite berry shades. I sometimes like to add a thin eyeliner just to emphasize the eyes a bit.

The next one is called ‘’Bold Eyeliner’’. I must admit that I’m not very good when it comes to applying the eyeliner. I can never get it right. But for the last 3 months I’ve been practicing and I think I am getting the hang of it. When I wear eyeliner I don’t usually do much because I love when the focus is on the eyes. I do a bit of contouring because that I always do and then I add a nude lipstick. I contoured my face with Prime and Fine Contouring palette by Catrice in the shade Ashy radiance. On my lips I have a lip crayon Matt Lip Artist also by Catrice in the shade Best ROSEbuddies Forever. Lastly on my eyes I have a combination of two eyeliners which are Eye matic’ Dip Liner by Catrice (waterproof) in the shade Stay With Me and Eyeliner Pen by Essence (waterproof).

The last look for today is called ‘’Classic Red’’. I cannot have a makeup look that does not involve a classic red lipstick. I’ve always been a fan of them and I can never get enough of it. For this look I like to put something on my eyes as well as on my lips. Again I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette, but I opted for lighter shades.  For the base I took the shade Honey Butter, for the crease I took Nudie and for the outer corner of the eye I have a mix of Chocolate Cookie and Strapless. I blended all out as much as I could and that’s that. Of course I contoured and everything and the last step are my lips. I wore a lip liner by S-he in the shade 004 and a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 107. That is my look completed.

LA ROCHE-POSAY: EFFACLAR DUO +

Another beauty post for you guys :)

I may be listening to Michael Buble’s Christmas album and thinking about Christmas. It will soon be here so I’m definitely allowed to start listening all of the Christmas songs. It also got really chilly here where I live so I guess autumn is over which makes me sad because no more vibrant colours and warmer days. Now all I can expect are those grey days-who wants that? I just want snow and high temperatures, but that’s not possible so I’m stuck with what we have here (sad and angry at the same time).

I have to admit that with these colder days I definitely use more products for my body. The cold makes my skin so dry and dull. I love discovering new hand and face creams. I definitely need a good face cream to be honest, because my makeup game has to be strong 365 days a year hehe and winter is no exception. I feel my skin dries out quicker in winter so I always need a good base for my makeup. So today I want to share with you a new face cream that I recently received. It is by La Roche-Posay called Effaclar Duo +.

This cream is mainly targeted for people, who have marks on their skin from acne, for oily skin, it controls the appearance of shine, unclogs pores and many other things. My skin is definitely acne prone skin so I was really glad I got this in my hands because I am always on the hunt for new creams to cure my acne. I also have a lot of scars and redness on my face because of that, so I thought this would be a great product for me. I have to point out that with this product I wanted to see if it would be good as a base for my makeup.

When I first applied it on my face, I realised that little goes a long way. I didn’t have to use a big amount of it at all. The cream was so easy to apply with my fingers and it felt so smooth. It does have a slight tint to it but if I can work with it, everyone else can too. When I smeared it all over my face, I saw that it definitely had colour in it but it didn’t contradict my skin tone. Bear in mind that my skin is very light and almost none of the shades suit me but this one did its job.

When I let it dry, I applied my makeup. The whole makeup was really nice. I didn’t have any problems applying it on, the cream was absorbed quickly and it left no shine after it. Also my makeup stayed on for quite some time without me having to correct it. Still I have to admit that after some time I was a bit shiny on my T-zone. It wasn’t too drastic or anything but I still reached for my compact powder to mattify it.

The cream itself is very nice. It feels very light on your face, it absorbs quickly and if you don’t feel like wearing full on makeup that day, you can definitely get away with just this cream, concealer and a mascara and you’ll look great.

Regarding other effects that it says it has on your skin, I can’t just say it yet. I haven’t used the cream for that long to see any changes and to be honest I mainly wanted to see how it works as a makeup base because it is very moisturizing and therefore perfect for winter. It does say you have to use it daily to see the results but I didn’t. If you want me to test it for the reasons stated above, just let me know in the comments.

All in all this product is really good and in my opinion perfect for winter time. Have you tried any of the La Roche-Posay products? If you did, let me know in the comments below so I can check them out.
