MY ULTIMATE BEAUTY TIP

Always take your makeup off before going to bed and keep your skin hydrated and nourished. Healthy skin is the ultimate base for a great look. Take care of what you eat because, besides sleep and sunscreen, food to affects the skin a lot.

DAILY MAKE-UP REGIME

When it comes to daily make-up, I go through different phases. It depends on what style I like at that moment. There are days when I don’t step out of my house without eyeliner and then there are days when I keep it simple and use my blush as an eyeshadow with a little bit of mascara. For the remaining days, I just apply a little concealer in the center of my face, blend it out and frame the rest of my face with a bronzer (including a little hint of a bronzer on the nose bridge), finishing everything off with a setting spray and voilá, my sun-kissed look is ready.

MAKE-UP FOR A SPECIAL EVENT

The right shade of red lipstick is perfect for changing from a day look into an evening look. I especially love the mix of red and pink. Add to that a little bit of shimmer at the center of the eyelid. At the moment I love some fine bronze glitter that I picked up on my recent travels. I think that complements the look and makes for a perfect glam evening look.

MOST FUN & FAB LOOK

It’s difficult for me to choose one as I have worked on many different creative looks. I love when I can be creative and use paint or other elements to create a look. Recently, I had to create a watercolor effect and it was quite challenging but I did it by using a straw to blow the paint in different directions to achieve the watercolor effect.
