1990’s Look with a Twist

Jag såg en så himla snygg bild på Cindy Crawford för ett par veckor sedan. En av hennes tidningsomslag för tidningen Cosmopolitan under 90-talet. Jag blev sådar superinspirerad att jag vaknade klockan fem på morgonen bara för att kunna stå en halvtimme extra och sminka mig. Hur snygg är hon inte? Det går ju absolut inte att komma i närheten av hennes skönhet men hon var i alla fall min inspiration for denna look även om jag la på lite glitter och extra långa ögonfransar.

I saw such a gorgeous picture of Cindy Crawford a couple of weeks ago. It was a picture of on of her coverphotos for Cosmopolitan during the 1990’s. I got super inspired and woke up five o’clock that morning just to be able to stay half an hour more do my makeup. How stunning isn’t she? It’s absolutely impossible to even get close to her beautifulness but she’s was my inspiration for this look even though I added glitter and extra long lashes.

Ho visto una splendida foto di Cindy Crawford un paio di settimane fa. Era una delle sue foto di copertina per il giornale Cosmopolitan durante gli anni 90. Mi ha ispirato tanto al punto da svegliarmi alle cinque del mattino solo per potermi truccare quella mezzora in più. Ma quanto è spledida? E’ impossibile solo avvicinarsi alla sua bellezza ma è lei che mi ha ispirato a fare questo trucco anche se ho aggiunto glitter e ciglie finte lunghissime.

What I did for love

Alla Hjärtans Dag är ju bakom hörnet så jag tänkte komma med några sminkförslag just till den dagen. Jag är egentligen ingen Alla Hjärtans Dag firare men varför inte ta dagen till ära och göra en fantastisk sminkning. Den här sminkningen är väldigt enkel att göra. Lägg till lite blått och glitter under ögat och ett par läppar i kärlekens färg. ❤
Ha en underbar onsdag! Här i Florens skiner solen idag.

Valentine’s day is just around the corner so I thought I’d share some makeup inspiration for that special day. It’s not often that I celebrate Valentine’s day but it’s a great day to create an amazing make up for. This makeup is very easy to create. Add some some blue and glitter under the eye and a pair of lips in the color of love. ❤
Have a wonderful Wednesday! Here in Florence it’s a sunny beautiful day.

Mirror of myself

Här kommer en sminkning där jag har använt mig av två utav Elegant Lashes lösögonfransar. De är verkligen jättefina. Jag använde även en av de undre lösögonfransarna jag fick, men bara under vänster öga då jag tyvärr inte hade tillräckligt med tid för att få på under det andra. Dessa är nämligen delade i sex mindre delar per öga så de måste appliceras en och en. Jag fotar ju i stort sett bara mitt vänstra öga så det fick räcka. 🙂
Hoppas ni har en riktigt fin fredag!

Here comes a make up where I’ve used two of the eyelashes from Elegant Lashes. They’re so nice. I aslo used one of the bottom lashes that I got, but just under the left eye since I didn’t have enough time to apply under the other eye. These are divided in six single lashes per eye so they must be applied one by one. But since I almost just photgraph my left eye it was ok like that. 🙂
Hope you’re having a great Friday!

In questo trucco ho usato le ciglie finte che ho avuto da Elegant Lashes. Sono veramente bellissime. Ho usato anche quelle da attaccare sotto la riga cigliare inferiore, ma solo sotto l’occhio sinistro perché non ho avuto tempo per mettere le altre. Queste ciglie sono divise in sei pezzi per occhio per cui vanno applicate uno per uno. Ma faccio quasi solo le foto all’occhio sinistro per cui va bene così. 🙂
Vi auguro un bellsssimo venerdì!
