Working girl / favorite makeup products


Lately I've been having a lot more days with makeup on, than days without and the products I use the most and work for me best has really stood out clear. I decided to share a little list of all my current favorite beauty products, since I usually get loads of question on instagram, tumblr and facebook about what I use. So here it is, easy peasy, everything about all of it in one place.

Skin products 

I use Makeup Forever Mat Primer to prime and perfect my skin. Then I either use a combo of Makeup Forever HD Foundation in 117 + Pro Finish Powder in 113 or a combo of Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Foundation in 20 and the pressed HD Powder. Favorite concealer is the Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer in shade 4. I always finish off with Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray that I love.

Brows 

My favorite brow product is the Makeup Forever Aqua Brow applied with the 274 brush. I use shade 15 all over the brow and add a little shade 25 towards the end. I also like to use the Urban Decay ''Buck'' eyeshadow applied with an angled brush and finish off with Nars' Brow Gel in Athens.

Contour, highlight & blush 

I've been loving the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette - especially the highlighter is amazing and I use it on my cheekbones, nose and cupid's bow for that perfect glow. Also love the Illamasqua Nymph blush.

Eyes 

My absolute most favorite thing in the universe right now is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette that both smell and taste like chocolate (don't ask, haha). I've been using it most days since I bought it and the gold shadow is the prettiest eyeshadow I have ever had. I've also been using the Urban Decay Naked2 palette a lot. For eyeliner the Makeup Forever Aqua Liner in 13 is what I love most and then either use Studio Sculpt Lash from MAC, Urban Decay Perversion Mascara or Smoky Lash from Makeup Forever. False lashes either  MUFE 14 or 15 ones.

Lips 

I love the Naked Lipgloss in Walk of Shame for everyday use, it makes my lips tingle and feel so soft so I reallyreally recommend it. Also love Makeup Forever Rouge Artiste Intense lipstick in number 23, 34 and 48 + the Makeup Forever Rouge Artiste Natural lipstick in 18N + MAC's Saint Germain, as always.

Phew. That was a whole lotta info. Are you guys using any of these products yourself and is there any product you want to recommend for me to try out? Hope this post was helpful to you!

DOES YOUR LIPSTICK MATCH YOUR PERSONALITY?


I think this is such a funny idea, basing personality trades on the way your makeup looks. Do you guys think this is real or just coincidences? I would like to imagine that if you are using this method on a lot of different women, you might be able to recognize some of the same trades in the same kind of woman with a special shaped lipstick.

After having a look at a few of my most worn lipsticks I have discovered that they are either the sharp-angled tip or the sharp-angled, but curved tip listicks. I guess depending on my mood I apply them differently, but I definitely recognize some of the trades: opinionated, selective of friends, outgoing, creative, needs a schedule but dislikes one - I guess it actually fits pretty well for me.

Does you guys' lipstick shapes match your personality?

Lime Crime Opaque lipstick.

I have been pretty obsessed with opaque lipstick in weird colors for a while, so I ordered a blue and a lilac one from Lime Crime not long ago and have been wearing it quite a lot. I love the pop it gives whenever I'm wearing it with a slightly boring outfit and I love the surprise-factor it has. People never really expect to see you in blue lips.
All in all I do really recommend this brand and their lipsticks, and can't wait to get more funky colors.

All time favorite lipsticks.


Saint Germain by MAC
So obviously one of my favorite lipsticks are from MAC, and I guess everyone who have tried MAC lipsticks will agree with me. I especially love this lipstick because even though it's such a pale color, it's still so pigmented. And sometimes I really miss that in a lipstick. I use this most days, because it goes so well with cotton candy pink hair and dark eye makeup. Generally it just completes all outfits and looks. I usually take some on my finger and dap in on my lips instead of actually using the lipstick. Just for a nice everyday look.

Lipstick 39 by Nouba

This lipstick is actually much more pink in real life and as the MAC one this is also very pigmented and have that amazing Barbie look to it. I have had this for such a long time, and I've been loving it since the first time I put it on. The good thing about Nouba lipstick's is that they never seem to smudge and they last forever. And again, as Saint Germain, this color seems to go very well with porcelain skin as well. I also dap this on with my finger to avoid that major platique overload. I'm wearing it in my last post.


Super Coral by Clinique

Okay, so apparently my lipstick is vintage, because the design on the one I have is totally different. I kinda like mine more. Anyway, this is a beautiful coral orange color that I'm in love with. Some days a little change from all the pink is nice, and it goes so well with brown colors, leopard and a more summer-ish look. Also I really love the color orange, but somehow I never seem to wear it. This lipstick is nicely pigmented and doesn't smudge either. I dap in on with my finger or mix it with another orange lipstick from Nouba.


Peach Juice by Maybelline

This lipstick is actually more like a slightly pigmented lipbalm, than an actual lipstick and for the price I guess it's okay. I like this, because when I use it without foundation it gives a very sheer pink shine, without looking glossy and it also moisturizes my lips. When wearing it over foundation it looks more like an actual lipstick and the good thing about this is that it fades away pretty fast but doesn't crack your lips, so throughout the day it's so easy to quickly reaply and just have with you.
