I’m finally done

I just wanted to tell you all that I have just graduated from the Danish equivalent of high school (somewhat higher level), so after 3 years of hard work I’ve finally finished and it’s great. I’ve really been looking forward to this day where I can proudly say that I have finished and that even with a fine grade point average. However, there have been some hard days after my graduation with all the celebrating, but that’s just something that you have to go through and just enjoy – and so I did. Even though I am glad that I’ve finished, I’m also a bit sad because I’ve been used to seeing the same wonderful people, both the students and the teachers, every day for the past 3 years and suddenly it’s over. But that’s just part of life and soon I will be writing a new chapter in my life and start over in a new city, on a new path, where I can learn to be a great hairdresser, and then concentrate on my true passion.

Tips about different kinds of blush

I thought that I would give you some tips about how you can create different kinds of blush.

If you are looking for a fresh and young look, you can use a pink color. While you are looking in the mirror, give yourself a smile, and your cheeks will have the form of small round apples, let’s call it the “applecheek”. With your brush, you put the blush in the middle of the applecheek, by using your brush in circles. You should be careful though, because if you use too much blush, if the color you use is too strong or if the spot of blush is too round, then you will basically look more like a clown – so try to make a smooth transition. This blush is a blush that you can, e.g. use in day time. Specifically because of it’s fresh look.

There is also an alternative for the summer period. You can put a little bit of gold or golden tinsel, and lay it on the upper part of the cheekbone. You can find your cheekbone by sucking in your cheeks and sharpening your lips. Feel your face with your hands, and locate the bones. When you have found your cheekbones you put the blush on the upper part of them, lining the cheekbones. If you are putting the gold on, be careful not to put it too low, because then your are getting a whole other look.

The look you give yourself by laying the blush too low, is the kind of look you have in the evening. If you e.g. are going to a dinner party, you should use a dark brown color to highlight your cheekbones because that makes your face look beautiful in a fine dress. You find your cheekbones with the same technique as before, and with your brush, you put the dark blush at the edge of the cheekbone. You put it all the way from your hairline to the middle of your cheek, just below the middle of your eye. But be careful that you’re not making the line too thick or too thin, that you’re not using to much color and that you are not laying it to low because that will weigh down your face.

These are some examples for blush. Depending of what kind of shape your face has, you can use the blush to counteract or tone down the shape of your head, if you have a very round or very long shaped head, the blush can make your face seem more balanced, but I will tell you about that some other time. :-)

Review: Define-a-lash Mascara

Maybeline Define-a-lashSome time ago I saw the Define-a-lash mascara in the commercials, when it was still the new and hot mascara on the market. So I thought that I might try it out and then write a review for everyone to read. However I didn’t have a blog at that time, so therefore I would like to give you a review of the mascara now.

Before I tried it out I was a little skeptical towards the brush because it was in a elastic kind of rubber material. I was afraid that it would not take a prober grip to the eyelash and therefore not leave a prober amount of mascara on the lash. But when I tried it I was surprised in a positive way. It wasn’t so hard to use as I had expected. The elastic brush is just following the lashes very tight and leaves mascara perfectly to the tip of each lash. The mascara does exactly as they promise in the commercials and I am quite happy, so happy that I’ve bought several since. The price is pretty normal, maybe in the highest part of middle price, but I would say that it is worth the money.

First post

Hello everyone.. This is my blog and here’s my first post. This is the place where I will mainly be writing about makeup, hair and styling. I will however also write if there is something that just occurred to me, even if it is about something totally different. You can look forward to reading some of the good tips that I’ve got, but you can also count on hearing my opinion about how other people have done their styling work and how I would do  it differently. So this is a site that is both fun and serious. I hope that you will enjoy it.
