Makeupbasics part 7

I think I have gone through most of the basics in makeup. But yeah there's always something more to learn, a lot more, i'm sure. This time I wanted to write about how to make your makeup look something extra. And I thought it would be perfect for the upcoming holidays. The tips are very simple and suitable for all makeup looks. The first and easiest way to make the look more dramatic is to add more color or stronger colors. For example if you are wearing a brown natural makeup, and i'm talking eye makeup here, add a darker brown and shade with black, maybe some mascara if you're not wearing that. You can also make the wings on your eyeliner bigger, thicker and longer. So simple!

Another tip is to put loose glitter over the eyelid. This can be done with a fixing spray, like the MAC Fix+. When the makeup is done you spray the Fix+ on a flat brush (or direct on the lid) and pat it on where you want the glitter. Then taking a small fluffy but flat brush and patting on the glitter over the fixing spray. There are many kinds of loose glitters. Just make sure it´s fore the eyes. You can use colored glitter whitch will make the look even moore dramatic, perfect for a party or new years eve. The glitter I use is kind of a translucent glitter. I like that because it takes on the color of the shadow beneath it. I love to add the glitter! It's so beautiful and sparkly. And also very simple. The glitter can be found at any makeup store, like Makeup Store, MAC or KICKS. I bought mine at H&M for like 39 kr I think.

And the third tip for a more party, fun, exciting look is the false lashes! The fabulous falsies...It can be a bit tricky to get them on and in the right place. But with some practice, a good glue and a tweezer you'll get it right. Good brands for false lashes are Ardell, Depend and MAC. For the glue I use DUO adhesive. My favorit false lashes so far is the MAC Marge Simpson false lashes. They are so cute. Sometime i´m gonna try falsies that are super crazy like feathers or something, because you can finde all kinds. But the most extreme is maybe a bit too much even for new years. They might be good for a masquerade or something like that but I still think you should have tried them as well, just for fun.

So those were my tips on how to make you the queen of the night. I might do some more dramatic looks as the christmas holidays are getting closer.
So till next time, take care!
