Hi!

My name is Katarina and I?m a new member here! I love playing with makeup (well, don?t we all!). I must admit I?m quite boring makeup-wise though, I use mostly taupes and neutrals. However, I?m trying to become more adventurous and daring and use more colours and different applying techniques! I find inspiration and help doing so in all of your pics!

Here?s a link to my picture gallery on MUA:

So far, I keep all of my pics over there, even the ones I link to from this thread.

Looking forward to talk to you all!

I like your photo on the "Trying to figure out how to use the new digicam " . Your complexion looks so glowy. What e/s are you using?

[seba]

You're great with makeups already if I may say . I like your looks. And nose !

hi Katarina, thanks for sharing your pics. you got fantastic features.

[Ninni]

Hi girls, thanks for being so sweet to me!

clarins- I can?t remember the e/s I used, but it was probably the taupe colour in YSL duo #27 or Chanel Vega and something neutral and shimmery as a base (Stila Starlight is a base/browbone HG e/s of mine!).

And the glowiness- well, I think it?s not so much a glow as it is the flash from the camera, haha! But thanks anyway!

hey lucy liu?! is that you?

cool! you have the charismatic eyes!

[Verda]

Agreed with the gals. You seem to have glowing skin. And definetly when I saw your eyes i think of lucy liu. Hee

Keep your Fotos coming in sweetie.

[Ninni]

Hehe, Lucy Liu is very pretty IMO, so thanks so much for your compliments!

So, today I made my first attempt at a dark gray/silvery smokey eye! I usually don?t wear these colours (well, I do wear grays on occasion, but never silver), but I had a fun time experimenting!

amazing!!!! i'm charmed!

love your brows! how did you do that? care to do a step by step? i am really lousy with doing the eyebrows..

[feyr]

hey, you really do look kind of like lucy liu! especially with your hair tied up...it's the eyes, I think.

[Ninni]

I think wearing my hair up makes me look a bit too strict sometimes... But it?s very practical though, I don?t like when I get hair in the way of my eyes, or even worse, when hair gets stuck in the lipgloss on my lips- bleh!

About the brows- hmmm.... I guess you have to find a shape that suits your face, (whether your hair grows like that naturally or if you have to fill them in a bit). If your hair grows within the desired shape, just pluck away the excess hairs. If you have to fill them in, use a pencil/powder that is a couple of shades lighter than your natural hairs.

Hope that helps!

Today I have pink eyes, pink lips and pink cheeks!
