AKO ZVYRAZNIT OCI INAK, 5 WAYS TO ENHANCE EYES DIFFERENTLY

Mile damy, Dear Ladies, 

Opat som prezerala pinterest a chekovala nieco pre vas.... 

Kazda z nas mame svoj stereotyp, ako sa vacsinou licime. Rano sa ponahlame do prace tak rychlo daco hodime na seba a dame tri tahy maskarou a utekame do prace. Ak by ste si privstali o par minut skor alebo mali chut nieco vyexperimentovat takto z rana, tak mozte skusit tieto licenia. 

I was browsing pinterest again, trying to find something for you ladies...

We all have a certain stereotype when it comes to make-up. Something that we put on in the morning rush. We throw on some clothes, take three strokes with mascara and we're out of the door. If you have extra 5 minutes or you happen to wake up earlier, or you're just in a mood to experiment, why not try out these 5 different ways of enhancing your eyes. 


Dymove oci inak                                      
Napriklad namodro 
Smokey eyes with a twist
For example Blue

























Licenie s tmavsimi tienmi pod okom                    


Using darker colors underneath the eye































Viacfarebne licenie 
A splash of color ;) 






























Aha, vnutorny kutik oka, aj ty si tu? ;) 

Hello, Inner corner of the eye, I haven't seen you ;)



Linkam vstup zakazany!!! Sem mozu len tiene!!!

Eyeliners Keep Out! Only eyeshadows are allowed here!!!



Ak mate mis mas v tom ako nanasat tiene, tak nasledujuci obrazok vela objasni. Plati vseobecne pravidlo najtmavsi tien nanasame co najblizsie k mihalniciam a na vytvorenie V-cka vo vonkajsom kutiku oka, o par odtienov svetlejsi tien nanesieme do priehlbinky nad pohyblivym vieckom, ktore zas nalicime o nieco svetlejsim tienom. Cim blizsie k obociu sme tym su tienie svetlejsie a dokonale vytienovane.

If you're not sure how to use eyeshadows correctly, the next picture will explain it perfectly. There's one general rule: The darkest eyeshadow goes the closest to your lashes and creating a V-shape in the outer corner. Lighter shade goes to the crease of the eye and even lighter shade usually looks great on the eyelid. Closer to the eyebrows (brow-bone) you are, the lighter the shadows are and try to blend blend blend! ;)

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

AKO ZACHRANIT ROZBITE TIENE, PUDRE, ATD., HOW TO FIX YOUR BROKEN EYESHADOWS, POWDERS, ECT.

Huraaa Piatok, T.G.I.F. everyone!!!


(English is in blue italic writing)

Neviem ci poznate stranku PINTEREST, ale ak nie urcite sa na nu kuknite, su na nej skvele obrazky, ktore sa vam budu pacit. Mozte si vybrat zo skupin, podla toho co vas zaujima, u mna je to make-up, vlasy a nechty takze som zvolila Hair&Beauty. Vzdy ma inspiruje nejaky obrazok. Dnes ma zaujal obrazok o tom ako si opravit rozbite tiene, puder alebo licenku alebo cokolvek pudrovej konzistencie. Iste vas ide slak trafit ked vam spadne novy bronzer a rozbije sa na milion ciastociek, az mate slzy na krajicku. No je tu pomoc, potrebujete nasleducuje pomocky.

70%-ny alkohol (kupite v lekarni)
folia (celofan)
stetec na ocnu linku (alebo stetec na ruz, alebo tycinka do usi)
spachtla (bud drevena alebo kovova, vies taka akou ti doktorka pozerala do krku ;)  
pipeta (mozes zobrat taku z kvapiek do nosa ale najprv ju dobre vymyt ;) 


Ako vidite na obrazku dole postup je nasledovny. 

1. do folie zabal kompletne cely puder a spachtlou ho rozmliazdi na sypky puder
2. odstan foliu a 70%-nym alkoholom pokvapkaj puder, na velky puder budes potrebovat asi 10 kvapiek alkoholu alebo sledovat ci je ho tam dost.
3. puder by mal byt makky lahko opracovatelny nieco ako plastelina, teraz ho uhlad spachtlou aby bol vrch pudru hladky
4. zober stetec a uhlad okraje, 
5. uz staci len nechat zopar hodin odstat aby sa alkohol vyparil (pre istotu to nechaj odstat cez noc) a mas hotovy puder a akokeby sa nikdy nebol rozbil. 

Aby ste si to vedeli lepsie predstavit, je tu obrazok. 




I don't know if you guy know PINTEREST, but if you don't, check it out for sure. There are great pics there and you can choose different pins, depending on you interests. My choice is Hair&Beauty. I always get inspired by this page. For instance, I saw this picture (above) about how to fix your smashed powder (eyeshadow or any pressed powder) and I though I have to share it with you. I have to say I took this picture from this lovely website that I found through Pinterest:  thebeautydepartment.com 

Here's how to do it (courtesy of thebeautydepartment.com) 


TOOLS: 
70% alcohol (you can get it in a pharmacy, 
plastic foil wrap
spatula
dropper
synthetic eyeliner brush 
cotton ear buds (Q-tip)

  1. WRAP IT UP: Completely cover the compact with the plastic wrap and make sure it adheres tightly to contain everything.



  1. MASH IT UP: With your spatula, crush up the entire pan of shadow, not just the broken pieces. You essentially are turning the pressed powder back into loose powder.


  1. ADD ALCOHOL: Remove the wrap and add at least 10 droppers full of alcohol. You can add a few droppers full at a time to see how much you need. I used a dozen.



  1. SMOOTH IT OVER: Now you’ll feel the powder has become sponge-like and very pliable, giving you the perfect opportunity to even it out smoothly with your spatula.



  1. PERFECT THE EDGES: Use your eyeliner brush to smooth it out even further. Give it a few hours to completely dry and it’s like it never happened! To make it extra pretty, clean up the perimeter with a Q-tip.

plastic wrap, spatula, dropper, synthetic eyeliner brush, Q-tip



Dalsi produkt, ktory si viete opravit s pomocou 70% alcoholu je kremovy tien, licenka! 
Do vysuseneho alebo popraskaneho kremoveho tiena pridajte par kvapiek alkholu na ozivenie hmoty zamiesajte spachtlou, uhladte okraje a nechajte odstat kym sa alkohol nevypari. 


Another product you can save with couple of drops of alcohol is a cream eyeshadow or blusher. Put a few drops of alcohol into the cracked or dried-out cream eyeshadow, stir with spatula and smooth out the edges and give it some time until the alcohol evaporates and it as good as new! ;) 





Dalsi blog bude o tom, ako si opravit zlomeny ruz, ANO je to mozne!!! ;)))
Pekny piatok vsetkym, uzite si teply vecer ;) kym este je ;) 


The next blog will be about repairing broken lipstick, YES, it's possible!!! ;)))
Have a nice Friday evening and even better weekend ;)

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.
