My Everyday Makeup Routine.



As I said in the previous post, I don’t expect to be an expert in makeup whatsoever. And when I decided to start this blog, it wasn’t my intention to do so many makeup-related posts. However, these days I don’t have much time to do anything extraordinary, as I’m spending every minute with my friends before I leave for London. So I decided to talk about my everyday makeup routine, which isn’t that particular. But I now tend to do always the same thing since I finally found something I’m very pleased with.



After applying  foundation (Catrice PhotoFinish 18h Liquid Foundation), and powder (Rimmel London Stay Matte) all over my face, I use the Catrice Eyebrow Set to define my eyebrows and I apply the lighter colour to all over my lid as well. I then use a Smudge Brush by Elf (that I purchased as part of Bamboo Set), to apply some eyeliner really close to my upper lash line and some under the eye. I then smudge it out with a blending brush. I then apply the Volume Express Mascara by Maybelline and some MUA Blusher in the Shade 1 on my cheeks. Sometimes I like to spice it up with some lipstick by Mac (in the colour “Saint Germain”), or the Just Bitten Kissable by Revlon (in the colour “Lovesick Passionnée”).
It takes me almost ten minutes to do everything, since it’s nothing that difficult, and I think it’s the perfect amount of time to spend in doing your makeup on an everyday bases.

Fashion Icon: Lily Collins, Style and Makeup.



Recently my Tumblr dashboard has been invaded by a great amount of pictures taken at the premieres of “Shadow Hunters”. I already knew Lily Collins, I loved her in “Mirror Mirror”, but I had never paid too much attention to her style. Until now. After have watched another film in which she starred, called “Stuck in Love”, it inevitably happened, my obsession started. I spent the next few hours diving myself into Polyvore to find some well-made sets inspired by her. I also looked up on Youtube, hoping some beauty gurus had the same kind of inspiration I had. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything I was too excited about. Therefore, I decided to recreate a makeup Lily wore at the Comicon event and I’m about to show you the result. First, know that I am in no way good with makeup and I just decided to try and do something new. But let me say that I was surprisingly pleased with what came out of my jiggling around with brushes and eye-shadows. 


 I would have loved to have tried and recreated an outfit too, and I probably will at some point, but I didn’t find anything good enough in my wardrobe. So, I decided to use Polyvore instead.

I love almost anything she wears, especially when she’s not dressed up for an appearance or a premiere. Her looks are characterized by simple, plain pieces of clothing, paired with some edgy detailing, like a green army jacket, or a particular blazer. I also noticed that she usually wears black ankle-boots with skinny jeans, and she likes to play around with rings and necklaces. 
At the top of all, she always looks so classy and elegant. Her makeup is basic, very natural: some brown eye-shadow, black eyeliner, mascara and a bright lipstick. That’s what I call a perfect everyday makeup.

I don’t know if I’ll ever adventure again to do some more inspired makeup looks, but I will definitely continue to be inspired by her style.
