My favourite everyday look - The everything matching one


Hallo to all the dear visitors of my blog ! :)

Today's article has to do with my favourite look , a simple and easy to achieve one that i personally prefer and use it most . As long as it's comfortable, suitable for all the hours of the day ( or night ) and it's not heavy ( something really important if you live in a warm country during the summer ) it's a really safe and fast choice to look nice no matter what you wear . It can be combined with many different styles giving a balanced result ! So let's get started !

MAKE UP

On this article i added more photos of the steps , seperated , to avoid the long text , i think it will be more easy for you :)

Step 1:

After cleaning and applying cream on your face ( i talked further about it on the previous article ) start up with concealler and foundation to make a perfect base for your make up ( for this look i chose Maybelline's Dream Pure BB cream for oily skin because it's too light , it combines make up , sunscreen filters and also contains 2% calicylic acid that dries the pimples ) .

Step 2 :

 Put on some champaign coloured eyeshadow to the whole area of the eye and some white one to the inner corners to make the 'lighting' effect . ( TIP : If you don't have a champaign coloured eyeshadow you can easily make a similar one by mixing some simple colours : light pink,gold,light brown and white - if the brown is dark reduce it's amount and increase the white's one ) . Also if your skin is light make sure you will use more pink eyeshadow so that the final product will have a pink base when it reflects the light and if you have dark skin ( or you are sun tanned ) do the same about the gold colour . Then make a thin line with a black liquid eyeliner just like i did . ( TIP : if you don't have a steady hand use a thin well shaped black eye pensil for the lower line )


Step 3 :

Put eye liner to your both eyes so that the lines will be simillar , maybe you will need to make the one thicker or thinner so that you will have the same result to both eyes ( TIP : use a cotton stick with make up remover to avoid the stains of the eyeliner )


Step 4: 

Add some black mascara and you are done with your eyes ! Simple as that ! :D


Step 5 : 

For this look i used just a nice bronzer which i applied under the bone ( not on it ) by using a big brush ( helps the product to be applied everywhere and combines it with your make up so that the result will look really natural ) . 

According to the lips i first used lip balm to smooth them and when it absorbed i used a lip pensil that has a similar tone with my lip colour and made a thich line following their shape .

( NOTE : if you use a lip pensil that is darker than your lips' colour you will need to add a lipstick on the same colour with the lip pensil otherwise you will have a 'Pamela Andersson' style around your lips and it's really not so nice. So be careful with it ) . 

Optionally you can add some gloss if you want . I prefered to keep it simple and just used the lip pensil .

HAIRSTYLING

This is a really simple and natural look so you are free to choose any hairstyle for it , it won't look '' too much '' eather way . My personal suggestion , as long as i am against on ironing the hair and damaging them all the time - especially during the summer , is to make a nice braid look ( either with a simple braid , or 2 , or a complex of them - i will show some tutorials in the next articles ) .
Braids are awesome and are a safe choice for all the hair types so even if you don't have straight hair you can just make a braid and it will look simple and nice without causing damage to your hair by straightening them all the time .

CLOTHING AND FURTHER STYLING

This style of make up and hair is really simple and can be combined with everything . My favourite look for a walk or anything , is a simple black comfy dress ( in the summer avoid tight clothes ) combined with a colourful patterned summer scarf ( prefer a cotton one ) and sandals on the same mood . ( Mine are handmade, i bought a simple pair of them and bought also bows and stuff and made them the way i wanted ) . You can also hold a medium size bag without bold statements as long as the scarf and sandals have already given the summer colourful style . And in the end , for accessories i chose small earings , my favourite necklace ( it's a really simple one that matches with anything ) and a big hand watch in simple colours ! :)
