THE MAKE UP WE USED IN CAPE TOWN

SKIN

Primer: Glow Maximizer, Dior.
Concealer: Terrybly Densiliss 3, By Terry.
Foundation: Terrybly Densiliss 7.5, By Terry.
Powder: Wonder Powder “Gobi”, Make up Store.
Highlighter: Soft & Gentle, MAC.
Contouring: Light/Medium, Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Blush: L’Orchidee Highlighting Blush, Sisley.
Setting spray: Fix Make-up, Clarins.
Body: Goodness Body Oil, Dove. Huile Rrodigieuse Or, Nuxe (for even more golden shimmer).
Brushes: By Terry

Gabriella says: Since the base is the most important thing in the whole make up, it’s very important to do a base that lasts all day and looks flawless. Even though we were shooting in the sun for 10 hours a day in 35 degrees, I barely touched Kenzas skin during the day because the make up lasted all day. What I do is that I always mix a little bit of the Glow Maximizer in the foundation as well to get more luster, and then the Wonder Powder gives a nice finish and keeps the make up in place. So for the base: first primer in the whole face, then concealer + foundation (with a bit of primer in it). Powder all over. Then contouring and highlighting + blush. Finish with the setting spray.

EYES

Eyeprimer: Clear, Make up Store.
Eyeshadow: The nudes palette, Maybelline.
White eyepencil: Inliner Blonde, IsaDora.
Brown eyepencil: By Terry.
False lashes: All Black, Sweed Lashes (Gabbi, Beroe and Ramina also shown in the photos).
Mascara: Define-a-lash, Maybelline.
Eyebrows: Dip Brow Pomade, Anastasia + Tri Brow, Make Up Store.

Gabriella says: Kenza feels most comfortable with smokey eyes in brown/bronze colors so we more or less always go for that look. On the other hand she likes playing with different lashes! In Cape Town we only used the single lashes “All black”, but when I do her make up for galas/parties we go for “Gabbi” or “Ramina”. I use the white eyepencil on the waterline to open up the eye, and the brown eyepencil between the lashes (instead of eyeliner when we want to do a softer look) to make them look fuller.

LIPS

For these lips: Lip pencil no5 burgundy, Sisley on the whole lip + Rouge Terrybly no 101, By Terry in the middle of the lip for the ombre effect (makes the lips look fuller!)
For these lips: Rouge Terrybly no 101, By Terry.
For these lips: Rouge Pur Coutur no 70, YSL. Kenzas favorite color.
For these lips: Rouge Pur Coutur no 66 + Terrybly Lip Pencil no1, By Terry.
Lip balm: Eight hour cream, Elizabeth Arden.
Lipgloss: Phyto Lip Gloss Nude, Sisley.

GABRIELLA’S FALSE LASH TIPS

The most important thing is to choose a falses lash that is easy to work with and attach. I always use Sweed because it adapts to the shape of the eye and stays there all day.

1. Pick a false lash that suits the size of your eye and the result you’re looking for. If you have small eyes you need a smaller lash. If you have big eyes you can wear a bigger lash and still make it look natural.
2. Does the size of the false lash matches the size of your eye? If not, you can cut off a little part from the outer edge.
3. Add glue to the false lash and let it dry for 30 seconds (this is very important!) before you attach it as close as possible to your own lash line.
4. Finish with mascara and carefully rub the brush from side to side to mix your own lashes with the false lashes.

I’m so spoiled to have this talented girl to do my make up!

Snart kommer Gabbi över och ska sminka mig inför kvällen. Jag är verkligen så bortskämd som har en sån snäll och duktig vän som sminkar mig inför sånna här event! Känner mig alltid så fin när hon sminkar mig. Hon har gjort det länge nu också, första gången var 2009 inför min studentskiva. Ja, se nedan……

// Gabbi is coming over to do my make up soon. I’m so spoilted to have such a kind and talented friend who does my make up for these kind of events! I always feel so pretty when she does my make up. And she’s done it for a long time now, the first time was in 2009 for my graduation pre party. Well, see for yourself…..

HAHA. Jag vet inte vad jag ska säga. Tuperingen?? Brynen?? Var är mina ansiktsdrag? Minns även att jag hade för mig att min näsa var snyggare om jag tryckte ner den lite a la Olsen twins.. Skyller på att det var 6,5 år sedan, både Gabbi och jag har blivit bättre haha. Jag minns dock att jag kände mig assnygg den kvällen i min babyrosa volangklänning. Letade fram inlägget, kolla här. Fick alltså 178 kommentarer på den tiden på ett inlägg med några partybilder? Sjukt haha!

// HAHA. I don’t know what to say. The volume?? The eyebrows?? Where are my facial features? I remember that I thought my nose looked better if I pulled it down a little a la Olsen twins.. It was 6,5 years ago so I blame it on that, both Gabbi and I are better now haha. I remember that I felt so pretty that night though, in my baby pink dress. I found the post, here it is. I got 178 comments back then on a post with some party photos? That’s crazy haha!

Sådär ja! Så ska det se ut! Sist Gabbi sminkade mig, inför Guldknappen för några månader sedan. Jag undrar om jag kommer titta tillbaka på den här bilden om 6 år och ba HAHA kolla brynen!!!! Eller något. Vad tror ni? ;P

Ikväll ska jag köra på pärlklänningen from BalmainxHM (den som är svart, vit och guldig) så det blir rätt mörkt sotade ögon. Kanske en stram hästsvans?

// Now that’s what I’m talking about! The last time Gabbi did my make up, for Guldknappen a few months ago. I wonder if I will look back at this photo in 6 years and like HAHA look at my brows!!!! Or something. What do you think? ;P

Tonight I’m gonna wear the pearl dress from BalmainxHM (the one that is black, white and gold) so we’ll go for pretty dark smokey eyes. And maybe a ponytail?

Jacket from Chiquelle HERE (I’m wearing XS. They also have it in black!) // denim shirt from Levi’s // Acne jeans // shoes from Asos // Chanel boy bag

En röd skinnjacka är ett måste i min garderob! Ett enkelt och roligt sätt att addera lite färg. Så jäkla snyggt till helsvart också! Eller typ svarta skinny jeans, en vit tisha, vita sneakers och ett par snygga brillor. :-)

// A read leather jacket is a must have in my closet! It’s an easy yet fun way to add some color. It’s so nice to wear it with an all black look as well! Or black skinny jeans, a white t shirt, white sneakers and a pair of nice sunglasses. :-)
