Modern Renaissance Makeup Look

I’ve been really busy and stressed lately, so finally being able to sit down here with the blog showing you a new look feels very good! Makes me clear my mind at least for a little while.
I made this look a few weeks ago but haven’t been able to organize all the photos until now. The new header for the blog is actually done using this makeup.

It’s now a couple of weeks that I’ve been using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palette. I can definately say that it has become one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes. I love all the shades and it’s easy to create both simple everyday makeup looks and more dramatic intense makeup looks using it. Perfect to bring with you in vacation.

Right now I’m in Sweden and as usual I brought too much makeup with me. (It’s so hard to choose that I always end up bringing more than I need to) When we go for just a week it’s different, then I try to bring just the necessary but when we’ll stay for a longer period like now, I always have a hard time to think rationally. If I don’t bring most of my favorites with me I always think I’m going to miss them so they normally get a place in the bag.
Mostly, these first days, I’ve actually been using the Modern Renaissance palette even though to be completely honest, it’s not that I’m doing much makeup in this period so right now I really wonder what I’ll do with all the makeup I brought with me… I hope my motivation comes back soon!

I hope you guys are doing great! I want to wish you all a fantastic summer whether you’re working or are in vacation!

En riktigt galen rosa lila sminkning blev det när jag inte riktigt visste vad för typ av sminkning jag skulle hitta på. Vissa mornar har jag ingen aning om vad för typ av sminkning jag ska göra så den här morgonen bestämde jag mig för att leka loss med rosa. Man kan väl aldrig få för mycket av rosa, eller? 😉

Let’s go pink and purple crazy for a little while, that’s more or less what happened when I created this look. Some mornings I’ve no idea what kind of make up to go for so when it happened this morning I decided to use lots of pink. You can’t get too much of pink right, or? 😉

Questo trucco è successo quando non ho avuto minima idea cosa inventarmi. Quella mattina non riuscivo a capire da dove iniziare per cui ho deciso di usare tanta rosa. Alla fine ho aggiunto anche qualche strass e questo è il risultato. Non puoi mai avere troppa rosa, vero? 😉

1. Prime the eyelids with Urban Decay’s eyeshadow primer potion. Highlight under the eyebrows with a matte white eyeshadow.
2. Mix a matte light pink and a pink eyeshadow and blend them gently in above the crease.
3. Now mix two more pink eyeshadows, also these ones matte, and blend them into the crease.
4. Apply NYX jumbo eye pencil in MILK over the mobile eyelid and over it apply Motives Cosmetics pressed eyeshadow Pink Diamond.
5. Apply an eyeliner using Stila’s stay all day waterproof liquid eyeliner in Intense Black and make a wing.
6. Line the waterline with NYX MILK pencil and apply it also along the lower lashline. Over it on the waterline and right under the lower lashline apply apply Motives Cosmetics pressed eyeshadow Fantasy.
7. Under Fantasy apply and blend out Motives Cosmetics pressed eyeshadow Aphrodite. Apply ut also under the eyeliner wing.
8. In the inner corner of the eye apply a white loose highlighting powder. I used the one from Born Pretty Store.
9. Apply two small body jewels, one in the inner corner of the eye and one where the eyeliner wing finish.
10. Apply mascara and put on Motives Cosmetics false eyelasehs nr 113.
11. As a face contour use Bronzing Veil. Apply the pink blush and highlight the cheekbones with the white loose highlighting powder.
12. On the lips apply Motives for Lala Mineral Lipstick in Beso.
