MAKE UP FOR EVER ✖ Moulin Rouge ✖ collection inspired look (New Year's Eve look)


  



  




 
ITA:
Look ispirato alla collezione della MAKE UP FOREVER uscita un paio di mesi fa chiamata MOULIN ROUGE.
Non è una riproduzione fedele dei due look proposti nella campagna pubblicitaria della collezione, ma una mia personale reinterpretazione.
Posto questo look molto in ritardo rispetto all'uscita di questa collezione per i miei soliti problemi di mancanza di tempo, ma questo ritardo casca a fagiolo: trovo questo look perfetto per queste feste imminenti di Natale e Capodanno, non trovate? ;)
AUGURI DI BUON NATALE E BUON ANNO!!! ^_^

ENG:
Make up look inspired by MAKE UP FOREVER "MOULIN ROUGE" collection, released a couple of months ago.
It's not an exact copy of the two looks shown in the advertisign campaign for this collection, but my own reinvention.
I'm posting this look with a huge delay from when the collection has been released, but this comes at the right moment I think, because I find this look is perfect for the incoming Christmas and New Year's Eve holydays! Don't you agree? ;)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ^_^

The Nightmare Before Christmas contest entry: The Pin Cushion Queen



 





Life isn't easy
for the Pin Cushion Queen.
When she sits on her throne
pins push through her spleen.

This is my entry for the Nightmare before Christmas contest hosted by Ana and Caitlin on Youtube.
I've always been in love with this little fragile odd character with such a short and touching story, in the near future it will become a tattoo on my forearm. :)
Now I tried and cought its kind of melancholy magic with this make up look.
It's taken from Tim Burton's book "The melancholy death of Oyster boy and other stories".

ALEGUARAS Minerals swatches - Sondaggio per GIVEAWAY imminente!


ITA: Questi sono gli swatches di un po' di ombretti minerali creati dalla mia cara amica ALEGUARAS, che vi avevo già presentato con il trucco 3D Crystal Violet. Nelle file superiori sono applicati asciutti, in quelle inferiori bagnati. Come vedete sono colori molto particolari e sfaccettati, dal vivo rendono ancora meglio, personalmente li trovo favolosi! ;)
Quando raggiungerò 100 followers qui sul blog indirò un piccolo giveaway per ringraziarvi tutti, e Aleguaras è stata così gentile da sponsorizzare questo giveaway, per cui qualcuno/a di voi avrà occasione di provare queste piccole meraviglie, ma sono molto indecisa sui colori da mettere in palio... son davvero tutti troppo belli! Per cui vi chiedo di aiutarmi a scegliere, quali colori vi piacerebbe che mettessi in palio? Se poteste indicamene un paio a testa mi aiuterebbe molto nella scelta, grazie! ;)
Intanto vi ricordo che potete contattare Aleguaras all'indirizzo aleguaras@yahoo.com.
Ciauuu!!!

ENG: These are swatches of some of the shadows created by my dear friend ALEGUARAS, I already introduced her to you with my 3D Crystal Violet make up look. In the upper rows are dry swatches, wet swatches on the lower rows. As you can see these are very special and multi-dimensional colour, they look even better live, I think they are amazing! :)
As soon as I reach 100 followers I'll make a little giveaway to thank you all, and Aleguaras has been so kind to sponsor this giveaway, so somebody of you is going to have a chance to try these little wonders, but I can't decide which colours to offer as prizes... they are all too beautiful! I'm then asking your help to make up my mind, which colours would you prefer? Please tell me a couple of your favourite colours, thanks a lot! ;)
In the meanwhile please remember you can get in touch with Aleguaras at this address: aleguaras@yahoo.com
Bye!!! :)

Make up Tutorial: my base (concealer, primer, foundation, contouring...)



ITA: In questo tutorial vi mostro finalmente quali prodotti uso e come li applico per fare la mia base viso. Sono tutti prodotti della MEOW COSMETICS, ditta di make up minerale che adoro sia per quanto riguarda gli ombretti (che avete già visto in qualche mio tutorial) sia per quanto riguarda tutti i prodotti per la base: correttori, primer, fondotinta ecc.
Spero vi sia utile! ;)

They are all from MEOW COSMETICS, a mineral make up brand that I love for their shadows (you've seen some of them in some tutorials of mine) but also for their base products: concealers, primers, foundations and so on.
I hope this can help! ;)

3D Crystal Violet












ITA: Look realizzato con i bellissimi trucchi minerali creati da una mia cara amica: ALEGUARAS. Per questo trucco ho utilizzato 4 suoi ombretti ed un blush, ma Aleguaras realizza anche fondotinta, ciprie, correttori... insomma, tutto lo scibile dei trucchi minerali. :) I colori che ho usato sono splendidi ed hanno un'ottima resa sulla pelle, in particolare mi sono innamorata alla follia di Pink Sugar che è un fucsia fluorescente (color evidenziatore!!!) e di 3D Violet che è un viola davvero tridimensionale come dice il suo nome! ;)
Se volete provare qualche creazione originale di Aleguaras contattatela qui: aleguaras@yahoo.com

ENG: Make up look achieved with the amazing mineral cosmetics created by my dear friend ALEGUARAS. Here I used 4 of her shadows and a blush, but Aleguaras makes also foundations, veils, concealers... every mineral make up you could need! :) Colours I used are gorgeous and they really look good on my skin, I fell in love with Pink Sugar which is a fluo fuchsia (as the highlighting pen!!!) and with 3D Violet which is a really three-dimensional violet as the name suggests! ;)

Electric Iced Insect feat. GlamourDollEyes






ITA: Look creato principalmente usando gli ombretti della GLAMOURDOLLEYES.
Sembra una sorta di insetto bizzarro non meglio definito, tra una farfalla, una libellula ed un'ape (per via dei colori), da qui e dai nomi molto fantasiosi degli ombretti usati il titolo di questo insolito make up. :)

ENG: Make up look created with GLAMOURDOLLEYES shadows.
It looks like an odd, undefined insect, a mix among a butterfly, a dragonfly and a bee (because of the colours), so that's why the name of this strange look, and because of the shadows fanciful names. :)
