3 MAKE-UP LOOKY NA VIKEND, 3 MAKE-UP LOOKS FOR THE WEEKEND

Mile damy, Dear Ladies


Pripravila som si pre vas pomerne jednoduche looky na vikend mozno na sobotny vecer. Dufam, ze sa vam pacia, a ze sa nimi date inspirovat.


Prajem krasny piatkovy vecer! Pekny vikend, davajte na seba pozor a bavte sa a tancujte do rana ;) 


I decided to share some reasonably easy looks for the weekend and saturday night. I hope you like them and that you get inspired by them! 

Have a great friday night an even better weekend. Be careful and don't forget to have loads of fun and dance till the morning ;) 

Z lava do prava. 

Prvy look je najjednoduchsi. Potrebujete len dva tiene ciernu kajalovu ceruzku a tekutu ocnu linku. Oko pripravte primerom (ako som pisala v jednom z predchadzajucich blogov Primers ) potom pouzite telovy podkladovy tien (mozte si zvolit ten z palety od Sleek make up (na obrazku pod cislo 2, alebo odtien Brule od MAC). Potom vytvorit fialovym tienom (MAC Purple Haze obr. c. 5)  pismenko "V" na vonkajsom kutiku oka ako vidite na obrazku. Je potrebne ho vytienovat do stratena s tym, aby na uplnom konci vonkajsieho kutika bol najtmavsi. Do vnutornej casti oka naneste ciernu kajalovu ceruzku pre hlbsi efekt an na vrch pohybliveho viecka naneste tekutu ciernu linku a riasenku! a hotovo ;) Doplnit mozte peknym bronzerom a telovym leskom alebo ked mate chut zaujat mozte zvolit ruzovy alebo fialovy ruz zo skaly, ktora sa hodi k tienu, ktory zvolite. 

From left to right.

First look is the easiest. You only need two eyeshadows, a black kohl pencil and a liquid eyeliner. Prep your eye with eye primer (as mentioned in my previous blog post Primers ). Then use a base eyeshadow, (you can chose the one from Sleek palette marked with No.2 on the pic below or MAC Brule). Then create a "V" shape with a purple eyeshadow (MAC Purple Haze) on the outer corner of the eye. Blend it well and make sure the shadow is the darkest on the furthest part of the corner. Put a black kohl eye pencil in the waterline and use liquid eyeliner on top of the eyelid. Use mascara and the look is finished. You can wear a nude lipgloss with it or if you feel adventurous put on some nice pink or purple lipstick - just make sure it suits the eyeshadow you used. 

Druhy look je trosku komplikovanejsi ale ked sa naucite dobre tienovat zvlatnete ho lavou zadnou. Oko pripravite primerom (ako som pisala v jednom z predchadzajucich blogov Primers ) Bud pouzijete ocnu ceruzku medeno-zlatej farby alebo tien MAC Aztec Brick (obrazok 12) na oramovanie oka. Potom zvolite tmavohnedy tien a oramujete oko od stredu viecka smerom von a pod okom do 3/4 viecka. Vezmite vacsi stetec a vytienujte do stratena. Na pohyblive viecko naneste smaragdovo zeleny perletovy tien (MAC Humid obrazok 6) Naneste linku na horne viecko a do vnutornej linky naneste zelenu ceruzku (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green, obrazok 11). Vnutorny kutik oka potrite opat tienom alebo ceruzkou medeno-zlatej farby. Mozte si dat aj umele mihalnice ked mate chut. Zlaty lesk alebo telovy ruz to zdokonalja. 

Second look is a bit more difficult but once you learn how to blend it will be easy-peasy ;) Prep the eye with eye primer as I mentioned above. Use base eyeshadow. You can either use an eye pencil in golden-coppery shade or an eyeshadow (MAC Aztec Brick pic.No.12, see below). Take a dark brown eyeshadow and frame the eye with it going from the mid upper eyelid towards the outer corner and under the eye 3/4 of the eye. Take a larger blending brush and blend it well especially on the upper eyelid. Apply a green shimmery eyeshadow (MAC Humid pic No. 6) on moving part of the eyelid. Make sure the brown shadow frames the crease of the eye. Put on a liquid eyeliner on the top of the lid and use a green eye pencil (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green, picture No. 11) in the waterline. Use the golden coppery eyeshadow or pencil in the inner corner of the eye. You can use fake eyelashes if you feel adventurous ;) Golden lipgloss or some nude lipstick will do the trick.

Na treti look budete potrebovat viac veci. Najprv pripravte oko ocnym primerom tak ako pri obrazku dva. Pouzite podkladovy tien telovej farby alebo puder. Do priehlbinky nad pohyblive viecko naneste tmavo hnedy tien (Sleek paleta tien c.4) a urobte nim linku ako na obrazku, potom mierne vytienujte. Pod okom urobte ciaru zelenou ceruzkou (obrazok 11) tak aby sa vo vonkajsom kutiku stretla s hnedou linkou. Tesne pod obocie naneste svetlo telovy tien (MAC Vanilla alebo zo Sleek palety c.1) Medzi tieto dve ciary naneste medeno-zlaty tien (MAC Aztec Brick obrazok 12 alebo nieco co sa na to podoba). Dalej budete potrebovat zlate glitre. Ak neviete kde ich zohnat tak v nakupnom centre su rozne stanky v strede medzi obchodmi a velakrat tam maju potreby pre manikerky, zakupte si zlate glitre na nechty, moze byt prasok alebo aj vacsie glitre (inspirujte sa  obrazkom 9) a tie naneste na viecko. Aby vam glitre drzali kupte si priesvitnu linku na oci, mozno ju budu mat o stanok dalej a na vlhku linku naneste glitre. Do vnutornej linky oka naneste ciernu kajalovu ceruzku a na pohyblive viecko ciernu linku, pridajte riasenku a look je hotovy. 

To create the third look you'll need more products. Prep the eye with eye primer. Use base eye shadow or powder. Draw a thin line above the crease of the eye using dark brown eyeshadow (Sleek Makeup palette pic No. 4 or MAC Brun) blend slightly. Draw a line under the eye with a green eye pencil (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green pic. No 11). Make the two lines meet in the outer corner as seen on the picture above. Use lighter nude color on the brow bone (either from Sleek palette No. 1 or MAC Vanilla). Apply a copper eyeshadow (MAC Aztec Brick pic No.12 ) in the blank space between the two lines. Apply golden glitter on top of that. If you don't have golden glitter or don't know where to get it, try going to the shopping mall and find those make-up or nail products stands that are between shops and I'm sure you can get it there. To make it stick to your eye buy a transparent liquid eyeliner and apply the glitter on it while it's wet. Put a black kohl eye pencil in the waterline and use an eyeliner on the top of your lid. Put on a mascara and the look is ready! 

Pekny vikend vam prajem. 

Have a good weekend.

PHOTO SHOOT

Mile damy, Dear Ladies, 

Nedavno sme s mojou kamaratkou, vybornou fotografkou, Wiki Bekeovou  http://www.facebook.com/photo.wb rozpravali a zbierali napady na fotenie, ktore sme aj uskutocnili. Chcela som sa s vami podelit s vysledkom. Obe sme s fotkami nanajvys spokojne. Mali sme skvele modelky a celkovy napad sa nam podarilo zrealizovat, myslim, ze uspesne. 

Recently I was having a chat and a kind of a brainstorming session with my good friend a very talented photographer Wiki Bekeova http://www.facebook.com/photo.wb,  and we came up with an idea for a photo shoot that we managed to bring to live a couple of days ago. We both are super excited about the result. We had very good models and the whole thing turned out pretty great!

Make-up bol neskutocne jednoduchy no so skvelym vysledkom! Rada licim mlade modelky, je to hracka, pretoze ich plet je taka stavnata a svieza! 

Tentokrat som zmiesala Bioderma Zinc krem, ktory je urceny pre suchu plet s kvapkou Revlon make-upu, aby som vytvorila leskly, stavnaty podklad - a naniesla som to stipplingovym stetcom. Na oci som pouzila dva tiene: oranzovy - do priehlbinky medzi pohyblivou a nepohyblivou castou viecka a perletovy staro-ruzovy na pohyblive viecko. Dalej som pouzila bielu ceruzku do vnutornenej linie oka a maskaru. Na lica som bruskami prstov vklepala ruz od M.A.C. Ravishing. Na pery som pouzila len balsam na pery Blistex. 

The make-up was really simple. I love doing make-up on young models, I think every make-up artist enjoys working with fresh young skin ;) For foundation I chose to mix Bioderma Zinc moisturizer - it's for dehydrated skin - therefore it gives a dewy look to the skin - with a drop of Revlon PhotoReady foundation. I applied this mixture to the face with a stippling brush. For eyes I used only 2 eyeshadows an orange one and a pearly light pink. Then I used a white eye pencil in the waterline and a mascara. For blusher I chose to use a lipstick (MAC Ravishing) and I applied it with my fingertips. For lips I used a lip-balm (Blistex). 

Dufam, ze sa vam fotky pacia. Viac ich najdete na http://www.facebook.com/Sophia.Brad.MakeUp

I hope you like the photos. You can see more of them here: http://www.facebook.com/Sophia.Brad.MakeUp

VYBAVA KOZMETICKEJ TASTICKY.... MAKE-UP BAG CONTENTS ;)

Mile damy, Dear ladies,

(English is in blue italic font) 

Vsetky mame svoje kozmeticke tasticky, no niekedy v nich mame tolko veci, ze ani nevieme co, kde hladat. Ja som pre vas pripravila obrazok s produktami, ktore povazujem za najpotrebnejsie. 

Prvou najpodstatnejsou vecou su STETCE! 
Potrebujete sadu tychto zakladnych stetcov (1-7), (8-11 su dalsie stetce, ktore budete potrebovat ked vas bavi make-up:

1. Stetec na puder (bronzer)
2. Stetec na licenku
3. Stetce na podkladovy tien
4. Stetec na linku, lomeny stetec
5. Ceruzkovy stetec (na rozmazanie linky nakreslenej ceruzkou, alebo tienom)
6. Stetec na tienovanie
7. Stetec na korektor 
8. Stetec na ruz
9. Stetec na make-up
10. Stetec pre nanasanie tiena do zahybu oka
11. Stipplingovy stetec (mozte ho vyuzit na nanasanie make-upu, kremovej licenky alebo highlightera)

We all have our make-up bags, but sometimes we have so much stuff in them that we don't even know what we have there. I have created a picture with some make-up products that I find essential for your everyday make-up bag. 

The first most important thing are BRUSHES!
Below is a picture of the basic set of brushes you will need (1-7 are absolute basics, 8-11 are extra ones you'll need if you're really into make-up):

1. Powder/bronzer brush
2. Blusher brush
3. Base shadow brushes
4. Angled brush for eyeliner
5. Pencil brush
6. Blending brush
7. Concealer brush
8. Lipstick brush
9. Foundation brush
10. Crease blending brush 
11. Stippling brush (use to apply foundation, cream blush or highlighter) 

So skvelym uspornejsim riesenim prisla Sephora stetce s dvoma koncami v krasnych vyraznych farbach. Co poviete, niesu rozkosne, trosku mi pripominaju klauna?  

Sephora came out with a great economic / space saving option for brushes - double sided brushes. I love the colors, kinda look like a clown, what do you think? 

Dostavame sa k teme zakladnej vybave produktov a tymi su:

1. Kvalitny make-up (ja som zvolila Revlon PhotoReady, alebo BB Cream od Garnier)
2. Kvalitna riasenka (Lancome Hypnose)
3. Tekuta ocna linka (Catrice Liquid Liner)
4. Kvalitna kajalova cierna ceruzka (MAC - Smolder)
5. Ceruzka na obocie (Rimmel s kefkou na uhladenie obocia)
6. Paleta neutralnych ocnych tienov (Sleek Make-up iDivine Au Naturel  - objednala som si ju z internetu www.sleekmakeup.com )
7. Bronzer (Hoola u mna vytazi)
8. Pletovy krem (Bioderma Sensibio Light - je pre citlivu plet, ale na strankach Biodermy si mozte zvolit kozmetiku, ktora je presne urcena pre vas typ pleti www.bioderma.com/sk) 
9. Rozjasnovat pleti/ highlighter (Revlon Skinlight) - na hranu nosu, na vrch licnych kosti a medzi nosom a hornou perou)
10. Pinzeta (ja mam tu od Avonu, velmi mily dizajn mala)
11. Pudrova licenka (Bourjois ma vela odtienov, vela z nich sa podobaju odtienom od Chanelu, oplati sa pozriet sa na to)
12. Kremova licenka (Gosh)
13. Balzam na pery (Blistex)
14. Matny ruz vo farbe, ktora je len 1-2 odtiene tmavsia ako vasa prirodzena farbia pier (MAC alebo kludne aj Rimmel, ide o to aby bol ruz matny)
15. Fixka na pery - vydrzi cely den (Catrice - ma rozne odtiene)
16. Puder (akykolvek sypky alebo stlaceny puder pre tie leskle partie ako nos, celo a brada)
17. Vatove tycinky - keby ste sa netrafili ;) 
18. Primer (Lancome La Base Pro alebo L'oreal Studio Secrets) 

(English description is under the picture)

So now lets talk about the basic products you need in your make-up bag:

1. High quality foundation (I chose Revlon PhotoReady or Garnier BB Cream for lighter coverage)
2. High quality mascara (Lancome Hypnose)
3. Liquid Eye Liner (Catrice Liquid Liner, or MAC)
4. High quality black kohl eye pencil ( MAC Smolder)
5. Eyebrow pencil (either Rimmel or Eyelure)
6. Neutral eyeshadow palette (Au Naturel iDivine by Sleek Make-up, I ordered mine online www.sleekmakeup.com )
7. Bronzer (I swear by Hoola)
8. Skin moisturizer (Bioderma Sensibio Light - this one is for sensitive skin but get tested online on Bioderma's site and find out which product line suits your skin type www.bioderma.com )
9. Face highlighter (Revlon Skinlights) - apply on edge of your nose, top of the cheekbones and cupid's bow)
10. Tweezer (Avon - I liked the cute design ;)
11. Powder blush (Bourjois - they have many shades, a lot of them resemble Chanel blushers)
12. Cream blush (Gosh)
13. Lip balm (Blistex)
14. Matt lipstick - in 1-2 shades darker than your natural lip color (MAC or even Rimmel the important thing is that it has to be matt)
15. Lip tint (Catrice, they have more shades depending on your preference)
16. Powder - any loose or pressed powder will do for those shiny parts - forehead, nose and chin
17. Cotton buds - in case you run out of the line ;)
18. Primer (Lancome La Base Pro alebo L'oreal Studio Secrets)

AKO NANASAT LINKU. HOW TO PUT ON AN EYELINER!

Ahojte damy, Hey ladies, 

Toto video som nasla na Facebook stranke Sephory. Velmi sa mi zapacilo a chcela som sa on podelit s vami. Uz som tu raz pisala o nanasani farebnych liniek, MOJ BLOG: FAREBNE OCNE LINKY no toto video vam to este viac priblizi ;) 


I found this video on the Facebook page of Sephora. I really like it, because it's short and to the point, I wanted to share it with you. I've already written about eyeliner application, MY BLOG: COLOR EYELINER and this video will show it to you as well. 

V obchodoch je vela druhov ocnych liniek (lacnejsie aj drahsie verzie, ktore sa mi osvedcili (obrazok nizsie): 

• klasicka kajalova ceruzka (Avon Supershock do 5€, MAC Eye kohl pencil (odtien Smolder okolo 20€)
• ocna linka v forme fixy/pera (Avon Extra Lasting do 5€, alebo Artdeco Long Lasting Liqid Liner 01 okolo 15€)
• tekuta ocna linka so stecom (Catrice Liquid Liner do 7€, Astor Eye Artist okolo 10€)
• gelova ocna linka + spravny stetec (najlepsie lomeny stetec) (Catrice Gel Eye Liner okolo 10€, MAC Fluidline odtien Blactrax okolo 20€)
• cierny ocny tien - akymkolvek silnejsie pigmentovanym ciernym tienom vytvorite jemnejsi look

You can find different types of eyeliners at the shop (see the list containing cheaper and more expensive versions I like and use): 

• Classic kohl eye pencil ( Avon Supershock around € 5, MAC Eye kohl pencil in Smolder around €20)
• Liquid Eye Liner (Pen) - (Avon Extra Lasting around € 5, alebo Artdeco Long Lasting Liqid Liner 01 okolo € 15)
• Liquid Eye Liner in a tube - (Catrice Liquid Liner around € 7, Astor Eye Artist around € 10)
• Gel Eye Liner + a good brush (I'd go for an angled brush - the best) - (Catrice Gel Eye Liner around € 10, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrax around € 20)
• Black eyeshadow - any black eyeshadow that's highly pigmented will create a softer look. 

XOXO SOPHIA 

FAREBNE OCNE LINKY...COLOR EYE LINERS

Ahojte mili moji ;) HEY Guys, 

(English is is blue writing ;)

v tejto sezone je velkym hitom vyrazna ocna linka. Nie cierna ale FAREBNA! 
Chcela som sa s vami podelit o jeden trik ktory casto pouzivam na foteniach. 
Pokial nemate farebne tekute ocne linky, mozte ich nahradit ocnym tienom. AKO?
Jednoducho namocite stetec do vody a tym stetcom naberiete ocny tien, ktory potom nanesiete na viecko. Potom ked to uschne nanesiete priesvitnu tekutu ocnu linku a nechate zaschnut. Ta-daaa a trik je hotovy ;) 

A lot of designers and make-up brands started using color eyeliners this season. Black will always be inn but it gave some space for the bright ones, even red, orange and neon yellow have been seen on runways. If you're not sure you'd like them or you don't wan to invest a lot of money into color eyeliners, there's one trick I use on photo-shoots: wet eyeshadow. Put an angled brush in the water, than dab it into the eyeshadow and the liquid eyeliner is done, voila, it's that simple ;) 

INSPIRACIA - CERVENA LINKA/ RED EYELINER INSPIRATION

M.A.C archive

MOJE LICENIE - CERVENA LINKA/ RED EYELINER

alebo pod okom / or under the eye

prve dve - inspiracia, treti obrazok - moje licenie/ blue eyeliner 

Ked si lamete hlavu nad tym, ze vas tolko farebnych tienov bude stat majetok, tak si mozte kludne vydychnut a objednat si paletu 96 ocnych tienov zo stranky https://www.zoeva-shop.de/ , kde okrem paliet tienov najdete uzasne licenkove palety, ceruzky na oci, tekute ale aj gelove ocne linky a samozrejme STETCE, a kolko!!! ;) su velmi cenovo dostupne! Cena za zasielku je sice 12 € ale ked sa rozhodnete objednat s kamaratkou alebo dvoma tak sa vam ta cena pekne rozlozi. Za paletu obsahujucu 96 ocnych tienov zaplatite necelych 17 €. No nekup to!!! ;) 

If you don't have many colorful eyeshadows at home and you're worried it's gonna cost you a fortune, you can relax and order a 96 eyeshadow palette from www.zoeva-shop.de , where you can find not only eyeshadow palettes but blusher and contouring palettes, eyeliners, eye pencils, lashes and brushes, lots of them for very reasonable price. Delivery costs are not too bad: UK €11, Ireland €12. You get a palette of 96 eyeshadows for less than €17, what a bargain!!!

Za set stetcov (ktore, pokial nieste profesional vam uplne vystacia) 
zaplatite 30€
To je skvela cena za 18 stetcov, nemyslite? 

A set of 18 brushes is more than enough for a non professional, and it costs €30. It's a great price, don't you think?

Je aj slovenska stranka ZOEVY http://www.zoeva.sk/ no ceny su tam drahsie, ale za dorucenie zaplatite podstatne menej. Na strankach nemeckej ZOEVY su ale aj akcie, kde si viete kupit 2 palety za lacnejsiu cenu. https://www.zoeva-shop.de/en/sets/sets/
Je to uz na vas, z ktorej stranky vam bude sympatickejsie objednavanie ;) 


Aby ste dokazali vytvorit dokonalu linku musite trenovat, trenovat, trenovat a nebat sa experimentovat! 

To create a perfect line, you have to practice, practice, practice and experiment! 

LOMENY STETEC, AGLED BRUSH M.A.C. 266, 

Pre dosiahnutie dokonalej fajky pri vonkajsom kutiku oka mam jeden trik. Linku (vytvorenu mokrym tienom alebo gelovou linkou) urcite nanasajte lomenym stetcom (vid. obrazok). Zacnite od stredu oka, tahavymi pohybmi smerom ku vonkajsiemu kutiku oka, potom otocte stetec a tahajte linku z vonkajsieho kutika do stredu (vid. dalsi obrazok). Na koniec domalujte priestor od vnutorneho kutika do stredu oka. 

I will share my trick, on how create the perfect flick on the end of the eye, with you: start from the middle of the eyelid working your way to the outer corner or your eye, where you flip the brush and slide it back towards the center of the eye creating the perfect flick (see pictures below). When that's done you take your brush and put it in the inner corner of your eye and slide it towards the center. All done ;)

AKO NANASAT LINKU/ CREATING THE PERFECT FLICK 

VNUTORNY KUTIK OKA - STRED VIECKA                                                                    VONKAJSI KUTIK OKA, FAJKA

INNER CORNER OF THE EYE - MIDDLE OF THE EYELID                                               OUTER CORNER, FLICK 

Lomeny stetec je vyborna pomocka pri nanasani liniek ale aj tienov, ktore chcete naniest co najblizsie ku mihalniciam, ktore sa tympadom zvyraznia! 
K tomuto looku sa hodia aj farebne riasenky, ktore su bezne dostupne v drogeriach, ako napriklad DM, Teta, Mariounnaud, Fann, Douglas, 101 Drogerie, atd. 

Angled brush is the best tool in putting on eyeliners and eyeshadows close to the lash-line. Another great thing that goes with this look is a colored mascara, you can get many shades in a good drugstore like Boots or Superdrug. 

Dufam ze sa vam aj dnesny prispevok pacil a tymto vam zelam super piatkovy vecer, dufam, ze mate dobry program ;) 

I hope you liked this post as well, 

Have a nice weekend all,

LETNY MAKE-UP ..... SUMMER MAKE-UP

Ahojte vsetci, Hey Guys 

(English is in blue writing) 

prepacte mi dlhsiu odmlku, ale kupila som si psika a venovala som mu vsetku svoju pozornost ;) 

No nieje rozkosny??? ;) Vola sa Indi ;) Ano, ako Indiana Jones ;) 

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, but I got a puppy and could not detach from him at all. 

Isn't he the cutest puppy in the world??? His name is Indi, yes like Indiana Jones ;)

Ale uz spat ku vam, mili moji.....

V lete mam rada minimalne licenie, kedze je teplo plet potrebuje dychat a aj tak sa poti, a ked je na nej vela make-upu ten sa moze dostat do porov a potom vzniknu vyrazky. 

Ja podkladovy make-up skoro vobec nenosim v lete, ale ked sa ide vecer von alebo na nejake podujatie, volim radsej BB krem (Garnier, Clinique, Estee Lauder alebo Bobbi Brown, ... maju rozne odtiene a takisto je na trhu uz aj BB krem pre mastnu plet) alebo este radsej si sama namiesam svoj BB krem (1/2 make-upu + 1/2 kremu) Ked napriklad na celu tvar pouzijete mnozstvo make-upu velke v priemere ako 5 centovka tak pouzijete polovicu z tohoto mnozstva a druhu polovicu dolozite z vasho denneho kremu. 

Toto leto je velkym hitom leskla - ziariaca plet, pre to je idealne kupit si bud podkladovy krem ale make-up s ciastockami ktore odrazaju svetlo a tym sa vytvori efekt zdravym ziariacej pleti (z kremov odporuciam Nivea Natural Beauty (okolo 9€) , z make-upov je to Rimmel Wake me up (okolo 11€) 

But back to you my dear friends...

I like minimal make-up in summer, it's quite hot outside (when you're on holidays or live in a hot country ;) skin needs to breath, it's sweating anyway and with all that sweat and make-up the pores get clogged and you can get pimples, that's why lot of people have bad skin in the summer. 

I don't really use foundation in summer, but if I'm going for a party or a date I choose BB cream (Garnier, Clinique, Estee Lauder or Bobbi Brown, ... they all have different shades and there also is a version for oily skin).

If I don't have a BB cream at hand I mix up my own BB cream with 1/2 moisturizer and 1/2 foundation (by 1/2 I mean 1/2 of the amount you would use normally if you weren't mixing it up). 

Healthy glowing skin is a big hit this summer. Ideal thing to achieve this look is to buy a moisturizer or a foundation containing sun reflecting particles (Nivea Natural beauty moisturizer and Rimmel Wake me up foundation are good choices for a reasonable price) 

Mnohe z nas povazuju za nemozne kupit spravny odtien make-upu na leto a potom ked leto skonci nevyuzijeme ten tmavsi odtien vobec. Ja to robim tak, ze si kupim v obchode najtmavsi make-up aky maju a ten potom miesam s tym najsvetlejsim, a takto si mozte pocas celeho roka namiesat spravny odtien make-upu. Na jedno ale treba dat pozor. Kazda plet ma svoju specificku farbu ale su hlavne tri podtony, v ktorych sa make-upi vyrabaju a tie su RUZOVY (studeny), ZLTY PODTON (teply) a NEUTRALNY (zmiesany). Svoj podton odhadnete jednoducho:

Studeny/Ruzovy (cool) podton: 

- ked vas slnko opaluje do cerveno-hneda (nemyslim tym spalenie ale odtien ked sa opalenie upokoji)

- ked maju vase zily na vnutornej strane predlaktia modru az fialovu farbu

Teply/Zlty (warm) podton:

- ked vas slnko opaluje do zlto-hneda (zlatavo-hneda)

- ked maju vase zily na vnutornej strane predlaktia zelenu farbu

Neutralny

- je zmiesanim oboch, vacsina kozmetickych vyrobcov vyraba make-upy vo vsetkych podtoch. Hlavne M.A.C cosmetics ich ma takto rozdelen podla cisiel. N - Neutral, C- Cool and W- Warm, and the mixtures NC - Neutral Cool and NW - Neutral Warm.

Many of us have problem in choosing the right foundation for summer (or right foundation full stop ;) ), and when summer ends we don't know what to do with the rest of the dark foundation. My advice is to buy the darkest foundation at the drugstore and mix it with the lightest one, this way you can mix up the right shade for yourself all year long. But there's one thing you need to pay attention to in buying or mixing up foundation - UNDERTONE!!! There are 3 undertones  - COOL (pink), WARM (yellow) and NEUTRAL. 

It's easy to determine which undertone you are:

Cool/Pink: 

- when you spend time on the sun your tan is red-brown, i don't mean burn but directly after tanning your skin could be a little red and within one day it cools off to a nice deep color.

- your veins on the inside of your wrist are blue or purple

Warm/Yellow: 

- when you spend time on the sun your tan is yellow/brown (golden-brown)

- the veins in the inside of your wrist are green

Neutral:

- Mixture of both. 

Many cosmetic brands make foundations in these undertones, but you need to figure out which one is which. Only few brands make the undertone clear on the packaging, M.A.C. Cosmetics is one of these companies that divide their foundations in numbers and mark them with N - Neutral, C- Cool and W- Warm, and the mixtures NC - Neutral Cool and NW - Neutral Warm.

Iste ste poculi o tom, ze spravnost odtiena treba skusat na vnutornej strane predlaktia, ale to je milne, lebo ked si prirovnate tuto cast ruky k tvari (hlavne v lete) je tam znacny rozdiel. 

NAJLEPSIE JE UROBIT CIARU 3 ROZNYCH ODTIENOV (ktore sa vam zdaju vhodne) OD SANKY DOLE PO KRKU. Tym uvidite ako bude odtiel splyvat s farbou vasho krku. Ked toto urobite vyjdite pred obchod na denne svetlo so zrkadlom v ruke a tak zistite, ktory odtien je ten vhodny! 

I'm sure you've heard different things about how to find the perfectly matching foundation, like try in on the inside of your wrist, but if you put the inside of your wrist to your face you'll see it's a lighter color (especially in summer).

The best thing to do is find 3 shades you think would match and do a line with each one of them next to each other, than go outside on daylight with a mirror and check which one matches best. 

V lete sa vam oplati investovat do kvalitnej riasenky ci uz vodeodolnej alebo takej ktoru odstranite len teplou vodou. Moja najoblubenejsia riasenka vsetkych cias je Lancome Hypnose (klasicka), ktoru dostat aj vo vodeodolnej forme. Dalej Lancome Virtuose, ktora je vynikajuca tym ze sice nieje vodeodolna ale jej vydrz je uzasna, mozte sa potit, kupat, sprchovat, vydrzi cely den! Ja ju pouzivam hlavne ked robim make-up nevestam, tie si ju velmi chvalia! (Obidve stoja okolo 26 €, ale oplatia sa = Hypnose vam vydrzi aj 8 mesiacov, Virtuose o nieco menej).

Dalsia uzasna riasenka je najnovsia novinka od MAC Cosmetics - Extended Play, (okolo 25€) ta je zmyvatelna teplou vodou, kozmetiku MAC viete kupit vo Viedni, Prahe alebo Budapesti, bohuzial na Slovensku este nieje MAC obchod, ale takisto si ich produkty mozte objednat cez internet www.maccosmetics.com

Ak hladate lacnejsie riesenie, stara dobra Rimmel 100% Waterproof sa vam oplati (okolo 6€) ak hladate este lacnejsiu riasenku tak skuste Essence Get Big Lashes (okolo 2-3€), ale tieto doporucujem pouzivat len na jednu sezonu ked zostarnu zacnu sa zmolit a budu z nich padat ciastocky :( 

It's worth to invest a bit of money into a high quality mascara, (waterproof or the one you take off with warm water). No.1 mascara for me must be Lancome Hypnose (the classic version), you can get it in waterproof version as well (around € 25) or Lancome Virtuose (€ 25), it is an award winning mascara, because even if it's not waterproof it's incredibly long-wear, stays on all day, you can even take a shower. I use it mostly on brides, when I put on fake lashes, because fake lashes are not to be used with a waterproof mascara because of the waterproof agents in the mascara can dissolve the glue and the lashes could come off. Both of these Lancome mascaras will last you for a long time, however Virtuose has bit shorter life than Hypnose. 

Another great mascara is Extended Play from M.A.C. Cosmetics, it's removable by luke warm water. I use it on brides as well. Available also in waterproof version. 

If you are looking for a cheaper mascara, the good old Rimmel 100% Waterproof is a good choice, or a cheaper version Essence Get Big Lashes, I'd recommend using them only for one season, they will start drying out and create lumps on lashes. 

Dalsim dobrym kamaratom v lete je BRONZER.

Odporucam kupit si matny bronzer, ten posoby prirodzenejsie. Ja milujem Hoola od Benefit (okolo 30€), lacnejsie riesenie je Essence Sun Club (v 2 odtienoch pre blondinky a brunety) (okolo 5€) 

Iste sa aj vam stava, ze po lete bledne tvar najskor, aby ste zjednotili tvar s dekoltom, pouzite bronzer! Na tvary sa bronzer nanasa na tie miesta, kde by vas prirodzene opalilo slnko: celo, nos, licka. Na vrchnu cast lica, v strede zas naneste rozjasnovac (odporucam Revlon Skinlights (okolo 15€), az nezozeniete v obchode urcite sa da objednat na nete, je dostupny vo viacerych odtienoch a vydrzi dlho, alebo Essence - Crystalliced, (okolo 5€ ). K tomu aby ste si tienovanie bronzerom a rozjasnovacom vedeli predstavit vam pomozu vam obrazky dole. 

Another good friend in summer is a bronzer. I would advice to use a MATTE BRONZER, it looks more natural and you can use it for face contouring as well. I absolutely swear by Hoola by Benefit (around €30), cheaper option would be Essence Sun Club (around €5), it comes in 2 shades: lighter for Blondes and darker for Brunettes, in my opinion, don't look at the hair color but your natural tan. 

After summer is gone your face is the first one to loose the tan to match the color of the neck with the face use the bronzer. To create a natural look, use it on the places where the sun would tan you first - cheekbones, sides of the nose, forehead (as shown on the images below).To create the natural glow use a highliter (I love Revlon Skinlights) .

Viecka nad ZLATO!!!

V lete milujem zlatu farbu na vieckach. 
Nova rada od L'Oreal La Couleur infailible/indefectible (okolo 9€) je skvela ma vela uzasnych odtienov a medzi nimi aj cislo 021 Sahara Treasure, ktory som si velmi oblubila, dalsie moje oblubene su 027 Goldmine a 024 Bronze Goddess nanasa sa koncekmi prstov a vydrzi cely den. Oci mozte tiez zvyraznit ciernou linkou (vodeodolnou). Mne sa osvedcila vodeodolna tekuta ocna linka od Astor - Eye Artist (okolo 7€), fakt drzi cely den! Alebo Liquid eye liner od M.A.C. Cosmetics odtien Boot Black (okolo 25€)

A pot of gold!!!

I absolute love gold colors on eyelids for summer.
The new range from L'Oreal - La Couleur Infailible is great. It has some interesting golden shades like 021 Sahara Treasure (my absolute favorite), 027 Goldmine and 024 Bronze Goddess. You apply it with your fingertips and the color lasts all day. You can further define your eyes with a waterproof liquid eyeliner, I like Eye Artist by Astor or Liquid eye liner by M.A.C. Cosmetics in Boot Black. 

Vsetko to mozeme ukoncit leskom na pery alebo cervenym ruzom podla preferencie. Opat su hitom telove lesky a ruze (ala JLo z 00' rokov), Rimmel ma na super koleciu, ktoru navrhla Kate Moss, su skvele! Taktiez su pekne lesky od Essence a su cenovo velmi vyhodne ;) 

Top it up with some nude lipgloss or lipstick, maybe even a red lipstick, according to your preference :) 
Nude colors are inn again, just like JLo in 00's. 
Rimmel has a beautiful color range in both lipsticks and lipglosses designed by Kate Moss I love all of them. 

Ako uces odporucam drdol, v drogerii si mozte kupit vlasovy donut a pomoct si s nim. Je to velmi jednoduche.

I like my hair up in the summer as I'm too warm to keep my hair down, I often go for a nice bun. You can get bun shapers in Primark or any drugstore I believe. To see how to use them see picture below.
