Red lipstick is my all-time favorite guilty pleasure. 💄 Sad? Wear red lipstick. In need of extra confidence? Wear red lipstick. Feeling like your teeth could be whiter? Wear red lipstick. 🤣

I must have at least a dozen shades of red (2 of which I haven't even used yet and I'm just admiring from afar - thanks Lisa Eldridge ❤) but there's never enough. Can you relate?

We're done, son! 🙃

This week really went by in a breeze. I hope you had as much fun as me!

Here's what I learned about myself and my (blue) makeup application this week:
- I'm way more precise than I thought
- while blue was seriously testing my patience, I tested it right back - and won!
- blue makeup used to be the last thing on my mind - now I'm actually thinking of wearing it again

So to sum up, I think this challenge was a success!

This is the second to last look people! 🤯

As we're slowly reaching the end, I was trying to come up with a way to incorporate blue to everyday makeup in a way that isn't too overwhelming.

I think combining it with a universally flattering bronze color was the way to go, don't you think? ❤ This way you only get a hint of blue while still keeping the color to a minimum. Would you wear this one?

What are your thoughts on all matte makeup?

I usually prefer for at least my skin to look dewy and fresh (highlighter forever, am I right? ✨) so this was just another in the long list of experiments I put myself up to during this #JanuaryBlues week. I think even in all matte this one turned out good - wouldn't you agree?

I have a confession to make. I never wore light blue eyeshadow before. At least not outside the house. 😁

Today's look got me thinking it could work for certain occasions. Would you wear it and to what kind of event?
Talk to you again tomorrow,

- Maja

Holy 🐮! This one really turned out good!

I usually have a rough idea of where I'd like my makeup to go before I even begin. With these blue looks however it's a totally different story. They're really taking me out for a spin and I never know exactly what is going to come out.

Hopefully, more go down the same path as the one today. 🙏

I want to hear from you! What are your thoughts on a glittery smokey eye?

- Maja

Isn't it funny how can you find inspiration in the most mundane things? 😊

While I was planning for this makeup series, I was simultaneously peeking at my closet to see what I'll wear with each look. Even though I thought I had a LOT of blue pieces in my wardrobe, I have to say, I ran out pretty quickly. (Does this scream of a shopping spree to you too? 🤣)

Then I remembered this gorgeous neck scarf and the idea for this look was born. It gives off a very 80's vibe don't you think?


Here's what I used:

Hi there!

I'm wondering what your current favorite song is? 🎶

I recently found my way back to Arctic Monkeys  - or maybe they found their way back to me? I was listening to Knee Socks the other day, and remembered why I love this song so much:

It's the latter that got me thinking. While singing along to "Well you cured my January Blues" I wondered why I never use blue makeup (several reasons), and how I should try to make it work.

So here we are - day 1 of the 7-day #JanuaryBlues makeup series.

This is it. The end. 12 days went by in no time at all and this is the last look of this year's #12DaysOfHolidayMakeupLooks series.

I'd say this is the most dramatic look of all. It reminds me of a starry sky on an especially dark night. It's a Party look with a capital P and you just can't go wrong with this one on New Year's Eve. Let's go out with a bang!

I can't believe we're on day 10 already! 😲 Even though this takes a lot of work (more than I thought it would 🤭) I'm having so much fun! I hope you are too.

These last few looks will be all about the glitz and glam, and we're starting them off with a classic gold & brown combination. I usually use these colors on brides (minus the glitter) and it's easily elevated into a smokey night time look. Would you wear this on New Year's Eve?

Some makeups take more time than others. Some, I can do in a few minutes (hint), others take some trial and error.

This one took 3 tries before I liked it enough to get it out there. Why? I never use blue tones on the eyes - simply because it's a thin line between looking good and looking like you've been punched in the face. 😅

My advice would be to use a minimalistic approach to wearing blue. Pair it with a natural-looking skin and a nude lip. If you're feeling courageous throw in some glitter. ✨

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🎄🎁 I hope you're having a wonderful day with family and friends and your name was written on Santa's good list.

Speaking of Santa - he's the inspiration behind the look I created today. I went for a classic red and white combination that reminds me of his hat. And since it's the most wonderful time of the year, of course, I added some glitter. The cut crease eyeliner was harder than I thought and I have a newfound respect for anyone who can do this on a whim. It took some trial and error at first but I think I succeeded in the end.

Hello people, we're at a half-point already. 😍 Even though these types of challenges take a lot of time and effort, I'm having so much fun. I hope you are too!

Today's makeup look is featuring my favorite color lipstick - red. 💋 It's the color that makes me feel the most powerful, sexy and energized and it's the one I reach for most often.

This look is inspired by one of the most famous Christmas candy - the sweet and minty candy cane
