Ice Crystals

Hey everyone,I'm very busy this weekend (again), so unfortunately I don't have time to do a new look, but I came across this one that's been sitting in my folders for quite some time. I shot it some months ago and then never got to publish it- and I guess it's better than nothing :) It was basically a no-mascara kind of experiment, and it's more about the photography than about the actual make up

Brown Sugar

And here's another mineral look! Although I have to admit that I find shimmery mineral eye shadows increasingly hard to work with, as I find them usually harder to blend than matte shadows (at least without losing too much colour intensity), but I'm still seduced by the wealth of different colours in minerals! For the lid shade, I applied Antique First and Brown Sugar on top, as I found Antique

Streak of Gold

I'm back! I had a lovely week in Montpellier and enjoyed some sunshine before winter starts and it gets really cold... This was just one of those looks where I started out without even a trace of a concept, just dipping my brush into a random colour and do whatever fancy strikes me.

Water Nymph

What do you do when you`re not feeling inspired? Rummage through your "inspirations" folder and come across a really cool look you wanna dupe! Here's the picture:I tried to copy it as well as I could, right down to the little snow flakes in my hair. Maybe some of you have seen the look before and know the photograph I'm referring to? The look is part mermaid, part snow queen, so it's right up my

Jewelry inspired

I got this lovely pair of earrings from a little shop in Turkey, run by a british lady who made and sold all kinds of cute and funky jewelry -and decided to use them as an inspiration for today's look because I love the reddish purple with the glitter and little flecks of colour:And this is the corresponding make up. The pictures don't even do Tapir justice - it's such a lovely colour, deep and

Magic

Before anyone asks me: NO, I did not wear that look out. Truth is, it was not made for going out. Make up for photograpy - especially macro photography, obeys rules somewhat different from "what to put on to look good at work today"? You have probably noticed that most of my looks are not of that kind - I like to experiment and to create something new - not limiting myself to make up that makes

Iridescence II

Between celebrating my 29th birthday and watching Germany beat England in the World Cup, I actually managed to cram in some make up pictures and I'm really happy with them! I bought some nail art sequins on friday and tried to recreate their iridescence on my lids as well. I also included some of the sequins - this looks cooler in real life, as the light always changes and they capture the light
