Natural Look for a Romantic Dinner

For a romantic dinner with my boyfriend, I put on some beautiful, natural-looking make-up. Also I did my hair a bit different than normal.






For this look I put on a fluid foundation by MAC. I used concealer for the under-eye area and to remove some red spots on my skin. Then I put powder in my skin tone on my face to fix the make-up and to take away any shine. I used a little bit of dark powder underneath the cheekbones to create a nice shadow. Also I put on some blush. 

This eye make-up is very easy and quick, and can be used in your every day make-up. I marked a line along both the top and the bottom eyelid, from the outer corner until about the middle of the eye, with a black kohlpencil. With a eyeliner brush (angled brush) I softened the line, towards the eyes, so that the black will be the most intense close to they eye and is blurred away from the eye. On top of the kohl line I put some black eyeshadow, also with the eyeliner brush. This is to fix the kohl pencil. With a eyeshadow brush I softened and blended the line. On the inner corner of my eye I put a highlight, for a fresh look. I used MAC cream colour base for this in the color 'Hush Frost'. I put this on with a cotton swab. I also put some of this just under my eyebrow to create a highlight there as well. You could use a light color of eyeshadow for this as well.
Last but not least I put on mascara! A little bit of gloss on your lips and you're ready to go!



In my hair I plaited in from the right side of the face downward and to the left to the back of my head. There I just finished the braid, and then rolled it into a knot. The knot I attached wit some bobby pins. I found the first part quite hard to do with my own hair, because I can't see what I'm doing. It became a bit messy, but I still like it!

Big Improvisation Shoot!

A couple of weeks ago I had a shoot that was supposed to be themed 'Modern Barber Shop'. The photographer I was going to work with, was Daisy van Knotsenburg, a great lady who I've worked with a couple of times, and who I love to work with. Her idea of this photoshoot, which was free work for all the participants, was to use the hairdresser's saloon as a theme for the shoot. This hairdresser's had a bright pink wall. So we were going to do a shoot with many bright colors, in the styling, the make-up and the whole atmosphere. Unfortunately this hairdresser's had a leakage the night before, and half of the floor was flooded! All of a sudden we had to change plans, and this became a big improvisation shoot. We went to Daisy's house, and used her place as location for the shoot. I still like the results a lot!

What do you think?
