Wednesday - Wineday

Since an early age wine has been my passion. I grew up in Latvian - it's not a wine land, but dreamed of Loire Valley, surrounded by wineyards. I reded a lot about wine and it's history, gained knowledge about the magicians who know how to turn the grapes into the magical drink. For many years of my life I've worked as a waiter in order to be closer to the wine and didn't went past to any chanse to lern something more about it.

I'm no longer working as a waiter, but the wine is still my passion, so since today further on my blog each wednesday will be wineday :)

In my mind, wine can be compared to designers clothes, each of us has their own favorite designs. there are those who You keep wearing everyday, but there are also those You dream about. Valentino - stylish, noticable, elegant, but also wery expensive. H&M - easy to wear, beautiful, cheap. And no one of those two are right or wrong, it depends on your taste and budget.

Why to choose matt make up?

Why I usually choose matte make up?

First of all, because it's one of the best options when it comes to photograpy . If You are scared of how matte products, especially with bright shade, would look on You, here's some simple tricks I use.

Matte eyeshadow:

• my biggest matte eyeshadow tip is to put on a color that is close to my skin tone all over the entire lid before begin to use any colors.It helps me with blending, because I notice that matt shades usually blends worst than shimmery. Don't know why :( Maybe it happens because the brush often holds the powder? I'm trying to slightly tap the brush aigainst the lid to press in the color.
• When I am using matte eyeshadows I always using eyeshadow primer, it's must for me.

Matte lipstick:

• It's important to prepeare your lips and make them smooth and soft. Exfoliating is great solution for me, because I have dry lips and matte lipstick isn't as forgiving as gloss, so every imperfection will show.
• In order to keep matte lipstich fresh, I usually make sure to moisturize my lips before applying lipstick. Matte texture tends to dry out lips, creating cakked on effect.
• Next i'm applying concealer all over my lips, to let the color pop.
• Using lip liner helps to get clean and beautiful result. 
• Applying matte shades I prefer to use lip brush, for me it's easyer to make sure to cover up every little corner.

Even if your cosmetic bag can afford only the basics, there must necessarily be a bronzer, it will highlight your features, makeyour skin look younger and healtier.

Find your shade. Natural tan effect for light skin eill give a bronzer in a pech ur light honey tone. For medium dark skin get more golden, rosy tones, but for dark skin perfect would be copper and terracota tones.

Never forget that the bronzer should be only one, but not more than two shades darker than your actual skin tone.

If You aren't professional use shimmer free bronzer. Easier and more for everyday would be matt bronzer. You don't have to worry about looking like circus artist with matt shades.

Luminous or shimmering particles containing powder must be used very lightly and carefully, it's more appropriate foe evening and performing. 

Do not try to save.Quality bronzer will not brake or disintegrate, it will not losing it qualities at least two or three years. It's worth to invest in this.

Buy a good brush. Almost as important as quality bronzer is the brush you use. To provide smooth, flawless covering, the brush will be the one who guarantee it. Brush is important also to apply bronzer , try to apply it light, with no pressure, gentle touches and remember - less is more.

Where to apply bronzer. First with bronzer highlight areas that are natural rounded up - from cheek bones move to temples, then lightly touch chin and nose.If you are going for more pronounced sunburn effect lightly tint a jaw line toward to ears, touck your collar bones and sholders and now you are done.

Of course all the big fashion industry love them, even very very love, fashion experts from the glossy magazine heights laughs about them, but I and yet very much the fashion lovers get a pleasure to watch, to discuss, to share … … ….
