Whimsical Wintery Makeup

Hey Beauties!

Did you see Katy Perry in H&M commercial? I thought her eye makeup looked so pretty. After that I saw Nikki Tutorials do inspired makeup by her fairy look in commercial and I had to do my take on it. I call it a whimsical wintery makeup. 


I started with applying skin like shade all over the lid. Then I did my usual crease with matte brown shade. I used a mixture of light pink and gold in the inner corner of my eye.


In the inner part of the lid I applied a mixture of pink shades. On the other side, outer corner of the lid, I applied a mixture of purple shades. Center of the lid was filled with light blue shade. 


To intensify light colors, I used metallic liquid eye shadow and went over blue with silver blue metallic shade and over pink with pink metallic shade to add even more glitter and sheen to it. On the bottom I used the same matte brown shade that I used in the crease and I applied mixture of purples to the outer edge to connect with upper lid. To ground pastel shades, I decided to use black liquid liner. I applied it in elongated way, going thinner in the inner corner and coming to a thicker on the outside corner. 


I applied black mascara and decided to skip false lashes, because I wanted it to be colorful, yet very wearable.



I applied high coverage foundation and concealed where it was needed. Then I apply a bit of powder. I contoured with a contouring shade and applied shiny gold highlighter. I also very lightly applied pink blush. 


On my lips I used a mix of pink and purple lip crayon. I applied pink all over the lips and then I tried to darken the edges a bit with purple. Oh and I had to show you my matching purple-ish nails.




This is my way of adding a bit of light color to a very wearable makeup look. I think this could be even nice for Christmas parties for those of you, who don't like to go all out. It definitely has a more whimsical wintery feel to it and I like how the shades blended together.

The Three Wine Fairies - Collaboration with Tatjana (Taya My Little Beauty World) and Vesna (Chunky Cheeks)

Hey Beauties!

I am on fire with collaborations. It's so nice to promote other Slovenian beauty bloggers and share our love of makeup. Today's collaboration is with two of the most inspiring makeup bloggers. 

I already did a collaboration with Tatjana from Taya My Little Beauty World. We did Modern twist on a classic makeup look. Tatjana is one of the nicest and positive smiley people. She always inspires me to do more artistic makeup looks. She was on fire this October with multiple Halloween inspired looks. If you don't know her definitely go check out her blog. My favorite of her latest makeup looks has to be Golden Goddess. I also really liked her innovative approach to clown makeup. She has tons of artistic and wearable colorful makeup looks. 

A recent discovery and a very talented blogger is Vesna from Chunky Cheeks. I was completely blown away by her skill, when I discovered her blog. She is without a doubt artistic makeup soul and I really encourage you to check out her blog. I stared at her eye makeup that she did in her post Light in the Darkness. It looked like something from a magazine. She also did some amazing Halloween inspired looks, I really liked her Ursula from The Little Mermaid makeup look.

Both of these ladies also do a lot of reviews and other interesting posts, so there's something for every makeup loving soul. Do check them out.


Now onto my contribution to this collaboration. We decided to celebrate our Slovenian holiday called Martinovo, which is today, by creating some fantasy inspired makeup. I already spoke a little about Martinovo and did a wearable wine makeup. It's basically wine day celebration. This day wine reaches its full potential and becomes ready to drink. Traditionally we should also prepare a feast, which consists of goose and some other Slovenian food (mlinci). In my family we don't really celebrate this holiday, although we do make our own wine. I'm sure other two ladies will tell you even more about it, so I won't go too much into details. 

We all did wine fairy makeup looks. My fairy is inspired by the time where wine reaches its full potential, grapevine doesn't have any grapes, the leafs are changing colors into gold and some are still green, while there is already young rich red wine ready for tasting. I hope I gave you some idea as to where my inspiration came from. 


I started with eye shadow primer and a base flesh toned shade to make other shades blend easier. I used yellow gold in the inner corner of my eye. Bright light green was put next to the yellow one, more towards the center of the lid. In the center of the lid I mixed light green with darker bright green and blend it with previous shades.


Then I used copper toned brown and placed it in the outer V. All the shades are shimmery and fairly light. I used the same shades around the lower lash line. For liner I decided to go with dark brown instead of black, to compliment soft eye shadow shades. I did my usual wing fist. Then I lined my lower lash line and went out with a wing more straight from the outer corner of the eye, instead of going up. I also put upper eyeliner all the way in the very inner corner and tried to make more of a cat V shape in the corner. On the lower lash line I went a bit down when I came to the inner corner. This way I created some space between liner and the actual corner of the eye. Here I mixed gold glitter with lash glue and applied it in between. 


Then I applied some false lashes and mascara on bottom and top lashes. 


I've come to realize I really lack in colorful liquid liner department, especially for creative looks like that. I had no choice but to use the same cream brown eyeliner and I created some lines around the eyes, also going out from the eye liner itself. My idea was to create something whimsical and to maybe look like grapevine. For in between sparks I used more of that gold glitter mixed in with lash glue and dot it in between the lines with eyeliner brush, which created sparky dots. 



On my lips I used two different colors of lip liner. I used dark red to outline my lips and mostly concentrate it around the outer edges of my lips. In the center I used bright light red lip liner. Over it I applied darker burgundy red more towards outer edge and I used mauve purple shade at the center of the lips. 


I also used some grapevine leafs and glued them on the side of my face. I used the same lash glue as I did for everything and it worked, although I think you can use some school glue as well. 


On my face I did my usual routine: foundation, concealer and powder. I used shimmery orange based bronzer and some contour on the outer edges of my face. For the highlighter I combined champagne and yellow toned shimmer shades to get as much glow as possible but not overdoing it. To compliment my red lips I used red based peach blush. 






I can't say I am completely satisfied with my look. I actually wanted to try another one, but everything went wrong, so I just decided to post this one. It's pretty simple, but I hope it still gives you the idea I had in my mind.

Definitely go check out what Tatjana and Vesna did. We all gave ourselves the same theme, but I love the fact that our makeup looks are completely different. Tatjana used rich red and gold shades, which remind me of wine and leafs, while Vesna used purples and blues, which are the shades of grapes. Both look amazing and I thank you both for collaborating with me. I hope there will be more collaborations ;).

Fairy of Gold

Hey Beauties!

I recently saw some pretty metal  gold leafs in one of the stores (Tedi) and after seeing Tatjana's photo of her Greek Goddess look, I needed to do something gold inspired. Halloween is closer and closer and I'm still getting some inspiration for pretty makeup looks, so I'll probably post some more this week.


I decided to call it Fairy of Gold for the obvious reasons. The look includes a lot of gold and sparkling gold leafs look like something that fairy would carry around. 

I started with my foundation, concealer and powder. Then I used orange based shimmery bronzer and heavily contoured all around my face. I used champagne shimmery highlighter and highlighted my cheeks, tops of cheeks, forehead, nose, Cupid's bow and chin. It's all about the glow with fairy.



On my eyes I started with matte light brown in the crease. After that I darkened the outer edge with matte dark brown. I used very shimmery gold copper eyeshadow all around the lid and in the inner corner of the eye.


With eyeliner I did a double wing and added some additional wing at the bottom of the eye. I also lined the lower lash line with black gel liner. Then I used gold metal leafs and glued them on the lid. It will give you crackled effect, but also a pop of light when you'll look down.


I also added some false lashes and mascara over the top. I filled in my brows as usual and then added some of the bronzed shimmery eyeliner as well as some gold sparkly eyeliner on tops of brow hair. 


I also used bronzed shimmery eyeliner to create some design at the sides of my eyes as well as on the forehead. The gold leafs were also added under the eyes on the cheeks. Underneath I also added some small gold shimmer. It's just a lot of shimmer in this look - go crazy. This is your ultimate highlight look. 



I also added some gold star in between my brows. On my lips I used a very pale peach liner. I went over it with peach lip balm and added small gold shimmer.





Being a highlighter freak you can imagine how happy I was with all that gold shimmer on me. It looks like a bathe in it and I'm not ashamed. This is definitely my kind of pretty masquerade or even Halloween party look.
