Hi girls!
Today I have a Look
Of The Day (LOTD) for you: Think Pink. I’m going to show you what my look of
the day was (hair, makeup, nails) and how I made it. I took the colour pink
(and a little bit of purple) and made a look with it. I’ll put a list with all
the products I used at the end of the article and I hope you’ll enjoy!
- Notice: I don’t wear this much makeup on a regular, daily basis. It was just
for this article and I like to do this, because doing makeup is my hobby. I also look very red on the pictures, which I don't in real life.
So first, I’m going
to tell you how I did my hair. I think it looks very cute and it is very simple
to create if you know the technique. I have bangs, so I wanted them to get out
of my face. I took 2 bobby pins and pinned my bangs up on my head. I crossed the
2 bobby pins, so my hair would be very secure.
I took the rest of my hair to one side and divided it into 2 sections. I
twisted the both sections in the same direction: away from my face (counter
clockwise). Then I twisted them together in the opposite direction: to my face
(clockwise). If you do this, the hair will be nice and secure and will not untwist
again. It’s hard to explain, but if you don’t understand the technique, you can

The last step is to put a cute headband in your hair if you want to.
Then I did my makeup.
Of course I started off with my moisturizer. This is very important, because it
keeps your skin healthy and moisturized. Then I did my basic face makeup.
I started off with foundation. I applied this on my whole face and I took it a
little bit down my neck as well. This takes away a little bit of redness in my
face and gives it a healthy glow. Then I applied concealer under my eyes (this
makes you look more awake) and on red spots or pimples (like the big one on my forehead, LOL :P) on my face to cover them up a
little bit. After that, I applied compact powder to set the foundation and
concealer and to make my face more matt, so I won’t look oily.
I also applied blush on the apples of my cheeks, to bring more colour to my
face and I think it looks cute! Then I applied some eyebrow filler by Catrice
to fill in the little gaps in my eyebrows.
Moving on to the eyes. I first applied eyeshadow base on my eyelids to make
the eyeshadows look more pigmented, it helps the eyeshadows to stay on all day long and it prevents creasing.
Then I applied white eyeshadow as a highlighter in the inner corners of my eyes and on my brow bone. After that, I applied pink eyeshadow on my eyelid up until the crease. Then I applied purple eyeshadow to my crease (the fold between your eyelid and
your brow bone) to add more dimension. The last colour I used is a darker shade
of purple and I applied it to the outer corners of my eyes (in a little >). This
gives even more dimension to your eyes. I also took some of this colour, and
applied it to my lower lash line. Then I blended all the eyeshadows together
with a fluffy, soft blending brush to make sure that there are no harsh lines.
After that, I applied some gel liner to my upper lash line and my water lines
because I like the look of it and it makes my eyes stand out more. Then I
curled my eyelashes with an eyelash curler and applied mascara to my upper and
lower lashes. I have short lashes and they’re also not very curled, so when I
apply mascara you can hardly notice. That’s why I like to curl my lashes, but
if you don’t need it, don’t do it. It’s not very good for your eyelashes to
curl them every day (I don't do it every day too).
The last thing I did for my makeup, was putting a nude lipstick on my lips. This
completes the look.
Then moving on to the
nails. I applied 2 coats of pink nail polish to all my nails. Then I applied a coat
of pink glitter topcoat to the nails of my thumb and ring finger. After that, I
applied little hearts (rhinestones) to these fingers and covered all my nails
with a layer of topcoat. Also a fun fact to know: if you put topcoat on top of a rhinestone,
it makes it matt.
