Finding Your Signature Look

Literally this is my favorite picture. I look a little bit shocked because I actually was, on how awesome this make up turned out.  It was also fairly quick.   For the first time, I felt like: "Yes, this is exactly how I want my make up to look most of the time".  My self esteem was sky high that day. Of course, I needed to share.



I understand now how important it is to find your own signature look.  Your own secrets; either contouring the nose or putting foundation to your lips as a nude lipstick.   It is always fascinating to me how the most glamorous actresses of Hollywood stick to their styles throughout the years and still known with their signature looks like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot.  

Of course we are more experimental with colors and styles these days.  But it is also important to find your own look that "wows" you and also feels effortless to carry for hours.   

My signature look for myself consist of:
  • Contouring the nose and cheeks with the color Sienna from Graftobian. Now, I love to contour and it really makes a big difference.
  • I realized, I do not like color on my lips unless it is some vampy color like burgundy or wine red. For my lips :dark foundation on the sides and light foundation in the inner part and nude gloss is what I love the most. 
  • Gold highlight suits my color best. If highlight is detectable on my face than it does not look good on me. Highlighting  the tip of my nose is a step I should not skip.  
  • Lining just the outer corner of the water line with a dark color and the rest with a highlight color gives my eyes lifted effect. 
  • Going dark and bold under the lower lash line provides an amazing dept to the eye makeup. 
  • Powder over my cream foundation makes my skin look perfect. Matte, smooth, and poreless. But if left too long, I end up with clogged pores and breakouts. 
Here is the eye look with eyeshadows from Colour Pop.  The formulation is the bestie for me.    



Does anybody know a truly gentle and effective eye makeup remover?  I have super sensitive eyes after LASIK eye surgery.
