Grey eyeshadow make up

Black, dark and light grey are the most worn colours of winter. So I decided to do a grey make up this week. It's a neutral look and you can use it with a lot of outfit combination.

I used my Sephora Eye Shadow Palette for this look.

It is the first time I put on some coloured eyeshadow in the hole eyelid up to eyebrow.

A light rose lipgloss its essential if you go for dark eyes.

I used light grey all over my lid, darker grey in my crease and my lid's outer corner, I used very very light grey-white shadow in the inner corner to brighten up the look.

And don't forget a perfect skin make a big difference to every make up.

Hope you like it! Hope you enjoy recreating it!

New Year's Healthy Hair

1. What to eat: Eat protein like milk, egg, fish, meat and a lot of almonds.

2. Supplements: Vitamin A, E, C and Multivitamin preparats like Revigen.

3. Treatment: Stinging nettle water; Almond oil + Bepanthene ampule + Aspirin; Olive oil; Camomile water; Water with vinegar; Rain water.

4. Don't wash too often, not more than 2-3 times a week.

5. Use a shampoo suitable for your hair, my favorites are: Bioxin (it has Biotin a type of vitamin B that nutrifies hair), Kerastase (make the hair very silky), Pantene (contains also another vitamin B type), Tresan (nettle shampoo for dandroof), Gliss (a cheap shampoo for tangeled hair).

6. Use conditioner to make the hair less tangled, to make silky if you have thick hair and to make voluminous if you have thin one.

 

7. Use hair mask 1-2 times a week. You can buy it or do it yourself, for example: Olive oil + egg's yolk.

8. Use leave in detangler: if you hair is too tangled.

9. Get a comb suitable for your hair or get a tangle-teezer.

10. Use heat protector if you get your hair blowdried or use curling iron. (Gliss, Panthene aviable here, Tresemme not aviable in Turkey).

11. Blowdry your hair only in winter, keeping the blowdrier 20 cm away from the hair, using the lowest heat setting you can.

12. After blowdrying, use a few drops of leave on oil, like moroccan argan oil.

13. Don't forget to protect your  hair from sun during summer, hiding it under a big hat.

14. And the most important cut your hair tips to make the hair look healthier and more voluminous.

15. Keep these in mind and let your hairdresser play with your hair and do the rest.

Be healthy! Be beautiful!

Pink Make Up

Pink make up is a beautiful make up for girls and young women. It enhances the real beauty of you but there are some rules to follow up and don't look like a pocelain doll.

Use  hydration cream, foundation, concealar and powder. Use a foundation with undertone beige in stand of rose undertone. Use the bronzer to contour the face and on the top of the cheeks instead of a rose blush. You can choose a mat bronzer to contour and a shimmery one as blush.  

Use a light pink eye shadow on eyelids, some shimmery vanilla eye shadow in the inner corner and under  the brows. It is essential to use black eyeliner to complete the look, cause if you don't your look won't be as deep as it should. Use black mascara. Use light pink or nude to pink lipstick and lipgloss.
That's all. A polished girly make up.

Outfit and Make up of Indipendence Day

Since I live abroad Albania the Indipendence Day has become more and more important for me. We do a big party every year in Izmir and is the party where the new Albanian students meet the old ones who study in Turkey's Universities. So outfit and make up must be beautiful that day.

As Albanian flag is red and black, those were the colours that I choose for my outfit.
My black leather boots are from Nine West.

My tights are from Penti.
My red dress that I used as a skirt is from Zara Collection.
My shirt is from Network Que.

My jacket is from Cotton.

I got my hair done by my headdresser.

I applied some face cream for hydration, foundation, corrector, powder. I applied some light bronzer and a light rose blush. 

I would do black eyes or red lip to mach my outfit. I decided to do back eyes.
First I applied black pencil, I blended it, applied some shimmery black eyeshadow, than I did nude eyeshadow in the crease of the eye to smothen the effect of black. I did shimmery vanilla eyeshadow in the inner corners and under the eyebrows.

I applied nude lipstick and transparent shimmery lipgloss.

I hope you like it!

28 November is Albania's Indipendence Day. This year it was 100th year of indipendence. There was a big big party out there and the succesful Rita Ora went in Albania and made every one happy with her presence and beautiful songs. Thank you Rita!

 

Albanian flag, red like blood with the two headed eagle which is our simbol. It simbolises the strength and courage.

 

Here it is my city, Tirana, the capital city of Albania in red and black.

I am proud to be Albanian.

Brown eye shadow

I always thought brown eyeshadow doesn't mach me because of my blonde hair and green eyes, until my friend Mimoza did a marvellous brown make up to me. Since than I practice myself a lot of times and this is what I did last weeks.

It is a simple look for work or school but emphasis the eyes.

I used Sephora eyeshadow palette which is still aviable in stores.

Burgundy Pants

Burgundy pants are the most favorited coloured pants of  fall - winter 2012. Here there are some combinations I found to be practical and chik. My pants are from Coton, my poweder colour t-shirt is from Mango.

This dark grey sweater has lace, some perls and some silver colored stones on it. It is from LC Waikiki, very smooth and warm.

This sweater in cream color has some golden sparkles on it, but not very much and is also very warm.

This light grey t-shirt is from Mango too. It is my favourite of all combinations, especially if you live in a hot place like I do, were real fall come in November.

Here I am wearing a dark grey cardigan from Batik, over my t-shirt.

Hope you like it! If you have some other suggestion I would be grateful to hear them.
