A great thing to have and it looks so cute as well.

Glitter and Glamour themeparty (3 quick looks)

Hi everyone,

Last night I went to a birthday party with Nic and Nouk and the theme was Glitter and Glamour. This meant we had to go for some sparkle. Nic and I were wearing glitter nailpolish (Glow up already by OPI’s Burlesque collection) .

I hated myself for not bringing my camera because the makeup turned out very sweet and glittery but not over the top. I did take some pictures with my iPhone though and I’ll walk you through the makeup very quickly.

Nouk:

Nouk was the first makeup I did (not counting my own), she also had to go to a baby shower, so I had to make sure she could show up there without everyone tripping over the glitters. For her makeup I started with the Sephora Smoothing Primer, the tester I got has enough for 4 uses and really impressed me, her skin felt amazing (just like with the famous Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer). At the end of the night her makeup still looked amazing, slightly more shiney then with the Smashbox version, but the Sephora version is a LOT cheaper! I used MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation and the green concealer from the Sephora Concealer Palette to conceal any redness around her nose and on her cheeks (she has a cold). I used the normal light concealer from the same palette under her eyes and set her makeup with a MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural.  Next I contoured her cheeks with a little Smashbox contouring powder (no longer sold) and Continue reading
