Palettes: which colours are your favourites?

Image
Is there a need to have so many palettes? Definitely not. I will introduce you a few palettes as a result of years of experience. Well, I do not use the eye shadow every day but I like to have a good palette and do a light makeup. Many years ago my cousin told me how to do it: to do the seven at the edge of the eye when using the eyeshadows. This information has been quite useful. I suggest these two videos for learning eye makeup:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6SQjrxRG2c  from Cliomakeup and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3wNnH1NHA8  from Merve Özkaynak. Cutting the long story short, today I will talk about seven brands (Kiko, Clinique, Lancome, Diego Dalla Palma, Mac, Too Faced and Inglot) and six palettes (2 from Kiko, one from Lancome, one from Clinique, one from Diego Dalla Palma and one from Too Faced), four single eyeshadows (Three from Kiko, one from Mac ) and one which you can combine yourself (Inglot).

The one I had was exactly the one in the link. A stewardess told me that this was one of the best blushes and she was right! I admit although it was expiring in 18 months or so, I used it for almost for three years. But used it so much less than expected that I could not really finish it, though halved it. Love it!

LIPSTICKS: WHO DOES NOT LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD LIPSTICK?

This boom with cosmetics in the last years is incredible. So many brands, so many colours, so many artificial products and so many novelties! But how will we know which lipstick is the best one? There are three questions when it comes to lipsticks: 1)    Do they suit you (colour wise)? 2)    Will you ever find the perfect colour? 3)    Which are my favourite(s)? So basically, I have three main questions to answer very shortly. But then I will tell you a summary of my experiences about the lipsticks, brands, textures, pigments, colours… will share you a great variety of them from each brand. The colour range is from red to orange, from orange to pink and purple. But there are a few nude colours which are closer to brown as well. Never liked brown as a lipstick but maybe till I find the right colour I should just shut up. Let’s start with the first question. Does every lipstick suit everyone? It is not possible. I will give some suggestion
