Color pop

Have I told you how obsessed I´m about Sugarpill's loose pigments? I mean I did hype about them like couple of years ago, but man I fell in love with them again. I've been dying to place an order with Sugarpill for an year now. Can't wait to get the electrocute pigments!

I mainly always use these pigments while doing bodypaint. They can make even the worst and cheapest paints look like the most beautiful paints ever. But I still use them as normal eyeshadows as well.

Cold Cold November

People have a really different way of thinking abouy the so called 'strenght' of a makeup (magnitude, amplitude? :D). Especially in different parts of the world. In Finland, for example if you ask for a nude makeup, you might get really, like R-E-A-L-L-Y light makeup base and maybe some mascara. If you ask for a nude look in France, you will most definately get a ton of makeup with the color scale nudes. My point of view for this, is to really inquire what the customer has in mind, before I start working. I've heard alot of complaints from customers, that some makeup artists just don't listen, but in fact I believe that the problem is that they just don't ask enough :)

In my opinion, this work covers as a medium makeup. Good base with a simple makeup. Nothin' too much.

GLITTER NAILS

 ..or almost ;) These are actually just nail foils and I tried to capture their *bling* on camera.

 They're cool, but the foils last max A DAY, so I don't bother doing them if there is not a special occasion.

Have a magnificient week :)

More more more and more Rainbow nails

Again the Rainbow nails! Or actually, I've done these last time like a year ago, but since I haven't really updated this blog, it might feel like you just saw these :D

But they are just so easy to do! All of the colors are actually acrylic paint and I just topped all off with some NfuOh flakies polish :) Ombre with six colors.
