So yesterday afternoon I spent walking around in the Meatpacking District, one of my favorite parts of New York. There were so many ridiculously stylish people there, even more than usual. Anywho, there was also a new Sephora store there, and.. It ended up pretty bad. Or good. Depending on how you look at it! On the bright side, I now have so many fun new makeup products that I didn’t really need. The downside is that it wasn’t exactly cheap. Here are my favorite new makeup tools. First up, three new brushes that I just love!! Especially the two on the right. The one on the left is an angled brush for contouring, number 49 from Sephora. The one in the middle is an airbrush concealer brush, also from Sephora, number 57. It’s amazing. But the best one, is my new foundation brush. It’s from Urban Decay, and is called Optical Blurring. It applies foundation better than any foundation brush I’ve ever tried.

Then I just had to try this eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay called ‘Naked’ as I’ve heard so much about it. I love the bronzy colors with a hint of plum as well, perfect for my blue eyes! It definitely lives up to its reputation.

Of course I had to play around with it immediately when I came back to the hotel. I don’t know if you even see the difference, but I put way more eyeshadow on than usual, including under my eye which is normally never touched by eyeshadows or eyeliners. I also did a much lighter lip, by swiping the airbrush concealer brush over my lips before adding a pink lipgloss. Maybe I’ll try this look for going out, what do you think?

  15. Hej Cath.

    Hvilken selvbruner bruger du til ansigtet?
    Eller vil du ikke snart lave en lille selvbruner update, om du stadig bruger den samme? din routine? osv.

    Xoxo

  22. Concealeren er fra Clinique og heter all about eyes concealer i fargen 01, og rougen er fra GloMinerals i den fargen som begynner på B ;p Orker ikke reise meg fra sengen akkurat nå haha, men Coverbrands har den og tror den er den eneste som begynner på B. Haha :p

  28. Den looken kledde du veldig godt!

    Åh, fine, fine Sephora! Egentlig litt katastrofe at det ikke finnes i Bergen.
    Jeg har både NAKED I og NAKED II, og liker begge to veldig godt. Kan liksom sitte og studere palettene i en evighet, for de er så fine! Nummer to har litt kaldere skygger, så om jeg (med blå øyne) måtte velge hadde jeg valgt den du har. NAKED II har en veldig god matt, sort skygge, men det er kanskje litt voldsomt å kjøpe hele paletten bare for den ene skyggen. :-)

    Lykke til videre med skolen/kurset. Gleder meg masse til å se det du lager :-)

  32. Du ser heilt nydelig ut Cathrine! Eg begynte å lese bloggen din for ei stund sida, og det har endt opp med at du har blitt min nye favoritt! Både pga av din fantastiske stil som gir meg masse inspirasjon men også skrivemåten din med dei komiske innlegga:) Kos deg masse i New York, og ver stolt over at du reiser til storbyen heilt aleine! veldig modig gjort syns eg:):)

  40. Takk for tips, jeg lurte litt på det Naked II siden de ikke hadde det i utstiling, men syns bronzefargene passet så godt så bare gikk for det :) Har en egen matt sort skygge fra Mac som jeg elsker heldigvis :D Takk<3

  52. Hi cath. Gorgeous makeup, love the look. It really suits you well! Wondering which lipstick/lipgloss you are wearing? Your lips have got a really pretty colour on the last pic? :-)
