Makeup for Miky

Happy birthday Raluca!

I just ended up my day with a make-up(except the lips) for sweet Raluca who's celebrating her birthday tonight!Happy birthday girl!

Today's photo shoots

Today,me and Sorin had the pleasure of working with Micky and Cornel.Micky's red hair inspired me to do a green make-up wich is in a great contrast with her hair.I also did some make-up on Cornel too and I admit that it's the first time I shaped a guy's face.I just traced some very well blended shadows on his face so he'll look more fierce! Hope you like the pictures! Kisses

Foundation

The first thing you have to have in mind when you want to start a make-up is preparing your face for it.It makes your face into a paint-ready canvas, so getting the right kind of foundation is very important to achieve a flawless face.

Types of foundation:

There are 4 types of foundation:powder,cream,mineral and liquid.

How to choose the one that suites your skin?

*Powder foundation:This type of foundation is good for mixed up to oily skin.Don't forget to use a cream before applying this type of foundation because it can easily make dry patches more obvious.It is best applied with a large powder brush.The bad part about this type of foundation is the fact that t coverage is sheer to medium.On the other hand,I found out that there is a powder based foundation wich has a good coverage at Il-makiage professional make-up.

*The liquid foundation is great for all types of skin esspecially dry skin because it also has moisturizing properties.The good thing about this type of foundation is the coverage wich is medium to full.This type of foundation gives you the flawless,airbrushed look.I usually use pharmaceutical products regarding the foundation because of the fact that they contain less harmful substances.For a good coverage you can try out La Roche Posay or Vichi and for a small,light coverage I use Bourjois Repulpant Reboosting foundation.
*Cream foundation: Good for normal to dry skin.People with fine lines should avoid this type of foundation.It is best applied with a wedge and not with your fingers.The coverage is medium to full and you can try out Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage wich you can find on the internet.

*Mineral foundation-is great for all skin types but don't forget to moisturize your skin before applying.You can apply it very easy with a brush because this type of foundation usually comes in a loose powder form.And you can try out Bare Escentuals bareMinerals wich you can find on the internet.

As for how to apply the foundation I'll give you some tips:

*Liquid and Cream Foundation: Best applied with fingers or a wedge. Dot all over the skin, and then blend by pressing the foundation into the skin. Make sure to blend out the line under the jaw.Don't forget to set the foundation with a powder to prevent the skin oils breaking down the foundation.

*Powder and Mineral Foundation: A moisturizer is the key, even if the powder has moisturizing properties.Apply with a brush specifically made for powder foundation.To add extra coverage, dot on extra powder with a concealer brush(photo on the right).

Colourful

Joker





This photo shoot was my latest and my favourite.We had so much fun with Daniela who is a very crazy and out-going person,perfect for not-so-random ideas as the one I'm presenting to you.Her make-up was brown-orange due to the fact that we were really keen on using the oranges on our photo shoot.And the colours match her eyes so it turned out really great.The first make-up was all dark-smokey eyes to get a really devilish look.The red lipstick reminds you of The Joker,no?:)

Game Over!

I present to you Diana!We made her dazzle with a domino necklace but as this is a make-up blog I chose the picture in wich you can very well see the make-up.

Crazy gone rogue!

 In assocciation with Sorin Ionita Photography now I have the chance to present to you the beginning of my make-up portofolio.I had the pleasure of working with Daniela-a girl with a funny,cute,warm smile and enchanting eyes.In the first picture you can see her wearing the perfect plastic-bag bow wich we made for her and in the same shade-the make-up.I hope you enjoy our bold idea because in the next picture you will se Daniela wrapped around in bandage so that her eyes and lips will be in the full attention of the photographer.

Greetings:)

Laura, the gymnast

This was a project I had with Vali,a guy who has a passion for photography.Laura was one of my first "victims" and we did have a lot of fun.The first make-up was very bold,with very strong colours because we wanted her to be very colourfull.The shadows were made with a shade of strong pink and a shade of strong turquoise.The second make-up was something really light,a brown-gold make-up,just as she will look natural and elegant.

Make-up

 

Sorin Ionita Photography 

This was my first portrait done by Sorin Ionita Photography in wich I tried to make the contrast between green and red.The make-up requieres a simple technique-I used an eyeliner to trace a contour of my eyes and then I used green to add a shadow.The lips should have a natural colour because of the fact that both green and red are strong colours.It is nothing complicated about it and with a little practice you can do it yourself.
