SOMETHING IS IN THE MAKING…

Maud — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:10:57 +0000

Yah. It’s been very quiet around here. Why? 1) I’m quite busy. 2) Everybody nowadays has a beautyblog 3) I’m making something big with my friend Nicky. What? Just wait!

SHIMMERY.

Maud — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:35:07 +0000

So, that’s been a while again. I’m quite busy lately so I really don’t have the time to do new looks and get in to make up as much as I did before. Shame on me. So I pulled off some green smokey eye (I did a few of those before) but then with my shimmer palette. I find it much easier to blend the shimmery eyeshadow I’m actually amazed by myself why I don’t use it that much. Nothing fancy..just…a green smokey eye. With shimmery eyeshadows.

What I used:
- MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (NW15)
- MAC Studio Sculpt concealer (NW15)
- Peach blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)
- Urban Decay Primer potion
- My 88 shimmer palette (Zoeva) for the light green on the lid and the white with purple/pink reflects in the crease and inner corners
- MAC’s Carbon in the outer corner
- Etos Waterproof eyeliner in black
- Max Factor Masterpiece mascara
- Essence Kajal pencil for the eyebrows
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipstick in Darling

DAS PARFUM.

Maud — Thu, 27 May 2010 17:18:27 +0000

A few months (I think?) ago I decided to participate to Mien’s make up competition. The theme was “perfume”. As in, the perfume bottles/flacons we all know. I picked Thierry Mugler’s Alien because not only it smells delicious and is one of my personal favorites but it’s a cute bottle!

What I used:
- MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (NW15)
- MAC Studio Sculpt concealer (NW15)
- Peach blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)

- Max Factor Masterpiece mascara
- Etos brown eyepencil (eyebrows)
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipstick in Darling

ANARCHY.

Maud — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:33:15 +0000

Okay, so lately I’m into the Sex Pistols. I know, I always discover great bands way too late. Anyways, while listening to Anarchy in the UK, I became a little inspired. So I made this red, white and blue look. Not realising that today it’s Queensday here in Holland, and so it’s also perfect for today!

GRADIENT LIPS. 2 in 1.

Maud — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 05:45:42 +0000

Okay so. I need to update more, haha. But I’ve been way too busy to even think about my blog. But I did some cool make up. Unfortunately, I got only one photo of each look. Stupid me deleted the rest of the photos of the first look. The second look I did when I was visiting my friend, Annette. We’re both Lady Gaga crazy (Gaga about Gaga!) and we decided to do some serious heavy make up that day. I ended up doing the “Telephone” look, which everyone did. Not the blue one, the other one. You know which.

WELL, now comes the part: I tried to make gradient lips on both looks.

What I used:
- MAC StudioSculpt concealer in NW15
- MAC StudioSculpt foundation in NW15
- MAC Blotting powder in Light
- Urban Decay Primer potion
- My 88 matte palette (Zoeva) for the white and black on the lid and crease
- MAC Gesso eyeshadow
- Gosh Extreme Art eyeliner in black
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipliner in Simply Red
- NYX Black Label lipstick in Hot pink, in the outer corner of my lips
- MAC’s Russian Red lipstick fading in
- Hema Miss Helen orange lipstick in the middle
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipliner in Black Ink for the eyebrows

What I used:
- MAC StudioSculpt concealer in NW15
- MAC StudioSculpt foundation in NW15
- MAC Blotting powder in Light
- White & black eyeshadow from a MakeUpStudio palette (not mine, it’s from Annette)
- Black eyepencil for the lips and eyes
- Dark red lipstick from a MakeUpStudio lippalette (also from Annette)

Oh and check out the silly video Annette and me made:

LITTLE BLACK RIDING HOOD.

Maud — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:59:23 +0000

SO! In the meantime I had my “first real” photoshoot. As in, doing make up on someone else than myself. One of my best friends Nicky is currently studying photography. And she’s getting pretty damn good at it! She’s into fashion photography, what means: real models and lots of crazy make up. Nicky invited me to do the make up on Sabine. It didn’t expect it to be easy and it wasn’t. I’m used to my own face of course, and while I got big eyes, Sabine has got little eyes. But I managed to create something dark, goth and pretty evil. Which was our intention because Nicky wanted to a fairytale. Instead of Little RED Riding Hood we created Little BLACK Riding Hood.

I made a sort of cut crease look, with lots of glitter on the eyelid. Unfortunately, you cannot see it quite good on the pictures but well…here it is:

Edited by Sweettoday.nl. Want to see more pictures?

What I used:
- Dark red blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)
- Hema make up base for the eyes (I forgot my eyeshadow base, woops!)
- My 88 matte palette (Zoeva) for the white and black on the lid and crease
- MAC Gesso eyeshadow
- Gosh Extreme Art eyeliner in black for the lips and eyes
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipliner in Simply Red
- Unknown creamy red lipstick
- Unknown false eye lashes for under the eyes
- Brown and orange from the 88 matte palette for the eyebrows

Sabine used her own concealer/foundation. I think the photos turned out pretty good, what do you think? Oh and be sure to check out Nicky’s website for more awesome photoshoots!

WA-WHAT DID YOU SAY? HUH, YOU’RE BREAKING UP ON ME.

Maud — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 08:19:12 +0000

Okay so the whole YouTube & make up community did do this “Telephone” look and so did I. Why give a shit? It looks different on everyone. As you can see, I didn’t quite pull it off like Gaga did but that’s mainly because I have a different eyeshape. So here’s my version! Enough said.

What I used:
- MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (NW15)
- MAC Studio Sculpt concealer (NW15)
- Peach blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)
- Urban Decay Primer potion
- My 88 matte palette (Zoeva) for the bright blue and black
- Fyrinnae Vanir Loose eyeshadow
- Gosh Extreme Art eyeliner in black
- Max Factor Masterpiece mascara
- Gosh Velvet Touch waterproof eyepencil in black
- Essence false lashes
- Gosh Velvet Touch lipliner in Simply Red
- MAC Show Orchid lipstick

GREAT BEYOND.

Maud — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:37:52 +0000

Okay, a lot has happened in my life but that doesn’t keep me from playing with my make up. I wanted to give my Barry M Fine Glitterdust in Opal another chance. It seems you need some mixing medium or something like lash glue to make the glitter actually STICK. They just fall off and …dissapear. What a shame. Well, another green look:

What I used:
- MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (NW15)
- MAC Studio Sculpt concealer (NW15)
- Etos bronzer
- Peach blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)
- Urban Decay Primer potion
- My 88 matte palette (Zoeva) for the greens (lime and dark green),
- Barry M fine glitter dust in Opal (eyelid)
- Gosh Extreme Art eyeliner in 12 (green)
- Max Factor Masterpiece mascara
- Etos brown eyepencil (eyebrows)
- Catrice matte brown eyeshadow (eyebrows)

WINTER AND SPRING GO HAND IN HAND.

Maud — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:44:02 +0000

The sun was finally shining so I decided to go for something bright. I LOVE the winter and HATE people (here in the Netherlands for example!) nagging about it. But I do think the snow needs to be gone. We’ve had enough.

I wanted something bright. I wanted something purple and greenish. So here goes!

What I used:
- MAC Studio Sculpt foundation (NW15)
- MAC Studio Sculpt concealer (NW15)
- MAC Blot powder in Light
- Etos bronzer
- Pink blush from the 28 blush palette (Zoeva)
- Urban Decay Primer potion
- My 88 matte palette (Zoeva) for the purple, greens and the black (crease).
- Sleek glitter eyeliner in Gem
- Barry M fine glitter dust in Violet (crease)
- Max Factor Masterpiece mascara
- Etos brown eyepencil (eyebrows)
- Catrice matte brown eyeshadow (eyebrows)

Later I added some pink lipstick (NYX Black Label Hot pink + NYX mega shine lipgloss in Dolly Pink). I also think my brows do look MUCH better in brown, than red. What do you think?
