(Beauty Diary) My Night with Estee Lauder


Face - Double Wear Foundation in Ivory Nude, Pure Colour Blush in Sensuous Rose
Eyes - Pure Colour Vivid Shine Eyeshadow in Fire Sapphire and Lights Out, Quick Thick Eyeliner in Punker Black, MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara in Black
Lips - Vivid Shine Lipstick Luminizer in Lame
Nails - Pure Colour Nail Lacquer in Viper and Explosif





 


I don't often go out at night, since sleeping is my favourite pastime, so to make the rare occasions when I do go out special, I make sure to get fully done up. Blue eyeshadow has had a bad reputation since the overdone 1980s - but the truth is, if you have brown eyes, you really can't go wrong with blue shades. The trick is to combine blue eyeshadow with an otherwise minimal look... and a sweet little black dress, of course!

Je ne sors pas souvent le soir, le sommeil étant mon passetemps préféré, donc afin de rendre spéciales les rares occasions que je sors, je me maquilles davantage. Le fard à paupières bleuâtre est connu de mauvaise réputation depuis les années 1980 – pourtant, si vous avez les yeux bruns, vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper avec des tons bleus. Toute l’astuce consiste à mettre un fard à paupières bleu avec un maquillage minime… et une jolie petite robe noire, naturellement !
