dress: Topshop
eyeshadow: Matte cold red by Make up forever
make up by Laura Steenge

Laura Steenge is one of the most ambitious people I’ve met lately; she wants to become a make up artists. Though she is studying communication and design at the moment and not everyone around her thinks that working with cosmetics is a real career, Laura is determined to become one of the best make up artists around.

She e-mailed me a while back to ask if she could do my make up sometime, last week she came by my home and practiced her skills on my face. She even made a bunch of sketches of my eye with some of her ideas. Laura is completely self-taught and besides all the products of big cosmetic brands in her suitcase she also brought some unusual stuff like baby powder which she used to set the foundation, eye shadow, and make the lips a bit matte. According to Laura ‘baby powder is the shit’ unlike regular powder it is transparent, suits every skin color and holds a long time.

This red eyeshadow was my favorite look she did that day. But it weren't only her great ideas and maquillage-skills that impressed me but also her drive and clear vision of what she wants. Chase your dreams!

I really love the matching dots that she put underneath her eye. It's really unique and different and I could quite see myself wearing it, and it would probably work in a lot of different colours too. Inspirational!

So beautiful!

Unknown said...

Really loving that you went back to that shade of icy blue that I think is one of the most perfectly matched hair color for your skin tone, and better yet you chose to compliment and bring out your eyes with that coral-y pink shade, the dot accent is adorable! Your skin is flawless btw!

what a great tip for matte. thanks for letting her doll you up so we could benefit! xx

Karina De Jesus said...

oh this is beautiful. she definitely has a talent for it. the bright red eyeshadow is almost an accessory to an outfit. it reminds me of a post I did recently, but with a super bright teal shadow. I’m really loving this though. Might try the baby powder as well, haha. Thanks for sharing, Ivania!!!

gorgeous make up!

Iris and Daniel said...

Red eye shadow is amazing! Strange colors on the lids are the best, like oranges, reds, and pinks. Something a little subversive about doing slightly-sickly shades on the eyes. So good!!

Kasia P said...

wow it looks great,I have to try that baby powder:)

m said...

the only word I can say is: wow. Laura has really good idea to confim your blue hair with red eye shadow. your eyes have amazing color thanks it! and I also see her other projects on your facebook site and I think, that her ideas are really orginal and I like them. I wish her big career!

Mika said...

I love how she blended the eyeshadow and made it look multidimensional in spite of the matte finish. And i concur that baby powder is the shit! You can even use it as an alternative to dry shampoo if you have light colored hair :)

Ema Les said...

Love it, really nice and fresh look! :)

COMPOSITION TWO said...

looks really nice! i tried it two weeks ago, but red eye shadow makes me look ill... your blue hair is the perfect contrast.

Hey there, as a makeup artist working in the industry for 7 years, I truly encourage anyone to unleash their creativity in the form of makeup design and application. This being said, I know of a few self taught makeup artists who have had their career put to a stop, as they made mistakes that could of been prevented by completing some form of artistry training (occupational/health&safety/hygiene issues). Using alternative products does have its drawbacks (certain forms of talc used in powder can create a lighter appearance when used with high lit photography). Being a makeup artist is more challenging than people think, there is blood, sweat and tears (when studying SPFX!) But in all seriousness I do recommend enrolling in a course to get to know not only the basics, but prevent mistakes that could make or break your career. Ps: love the red, Ivania, you would still look amaze with dirt rubbed on your face :) x

Unknown said...

Nice makeup but I saw something similar at anna sui's runway for this season (it was in deep blue)....honestly i think yours is better....btw you really look beautiful!

Emilie said...

Thanks for your sweet words and tips to Laura anonymous: she did enroll to The House of Orange, which is as far as I know the best place to learn it in The Netherlands, though the waiting lists are of one year. In the meanwhile she is doing her own projects like this one :)
