My favourite look, black eyeliner on bottom lid and rosy lips - filled in my brows (i love a dark brow!) and slightly contoured inside nose. Little bit of peachy blush but you can't really tell. Inspired by the make-up featured in Stella McCartney S/S 09.
Basic bright lips look and dark brow look. Wearing foundation over eyelids for a blanker canvas...but you can't really tell. Filled in brows. Tried to get the most matt look possible but probably needed more clear powder on my lips.
Black eye shadow under eyes only, light shimmer inside eye. Glossy lips which I've now decided looks not so great. Maybe nude lips would have been a better option. Maybe mascara too but I couldn't find it, I've taken most of my best make-up to London and I left it there.
I use some Mac make-up but most of my collection is a jumble of different things, the bright colours I own are all really cheap because chances are I'll only wear them once.
Skin tip: Lately Ive been using Vitamin E capsules as a a night serum and I find my skin always looks great when I wake up in the morning. Its a much cheaper alternative to other night creams - but probably is best for people who have dry skin... I can't even remember where I got the idea to use them but they are great to take on long flights to protect your skin from the awful dry air on the plane. I just apply about half a capsule to clean skin. Hope this can help all those ladies out there suffering through dry winter skin blues!

i Zanita,
Loving the make up tips! Small changes which can make such a difference to your look. Haven't yet dabbled with an eyebrow pencil, but I think I'll get on to it very soon.
Thanks for the tip about the Vitamin E - My skin is horrid in the London winter so this could be the solution!
Keep up the great posts!

Hey zanita I just thought I'd tell you about a quick post I did which featured one of my favs of your outfits and a little about your great blog! Hope you like.
xo querido
you´ve got the most beautiful facial features! so versatile!
and that skin tip really sounds intereting, I might try that as my pores look awful in winter.
also, I LOVED your previous post, it really captured that whole summery aura which is all I´m longing for in the snow desert that is germany now!

the second look is my favourite but you look lovely in all three! thanks for the tips!
