Spotted: Redheads

It's exactly one month ago since my last posting. Sorry for that but the reason is small, blonde, beautiful, lovely, 52 cm... he's just so perfect and I'm totally in love!!!

I'll do a checklist on make-up for young mums soon :-)


Just spotted in the German Glamour: this wonderful editorial with a very pretty model. I really like the pale skin with the red hair. See the eye make-up: it almost the same color as the hair.

This makes me wanna try red hair for myself.

Have a great weekend!

Spotted: Before and After Make-up

Spotted on Randommization.com

I always love to see before and after make-up pics. It's so fantastic to see what make-up can do and how it can modify your face.

These pics of transvestite make-up are really stunning.

See more here. (all pics via randommization.com)

Have a great week!

Mixed Cat Eyes and Lines

Spotted at Stylecopycat and Anothermag.com I find it very interesting how different a few more or less lines can make your eye.


Sometimes all you need is good eyeliner or kohl pencil.

Speaking of different eye lines... do you know Eye Rock? They make removable tattoos for the eye, I ordered some... of course I keep you posted.

Have a great day!

New in: In Beauty

I already told you about my make-up bible In Beauty.

Now the new issue N°9 is out for autumn/winter 2012/13. I can't wait to explore and get inspired by the thousands looks from the runway and experimenting with them and make them slightly more wearable...

I keep you posted!

Youtube: How to look your best the morning after

I think everybody, who's looking for make-up tutorials on youtube knows Panacea81.

This tutorial today gave me goose bumps... it was done in cooperation with Refuge.org.uk

But before I tell too much... have a look on yourself:

Chenman

A few weeks ago MAC had the lovely and colorful Love and Water collection with Chen Man.

Reason enough for me to take a closer look on Beijing-born Chen Man. She's a photographer that has an incredible portfolio. If you see her beauty shots you might think she's also a make-up artist.

So many colorful and strong looks. And although they are so colorful they don't look "painted", in fact they all are very aesthetic. The pics are like they are illuminated and for me very inspiring.

More info about her here and here.

Editorial: White

Spotted in the Austrian Woman, I found this editorial. At the moment I love the overall white look or a crisp white shirt with a lot of jewelry or a white-and-grey combination. And this is a wonderful make-up for the white look (even for white hair!).

Want some more white inspiration? Check out their blogs: Stylorectic, 123456789-Smiling, Love-Aesthetics.

Soon I will "steal" a white shirt from M. (watch out :-)) and use it as a dress, if the temperature will let me.

What's wrong with May anyway? Rainy grey cold weather?

Thanks bella A. for this pic (left). It works and already cheers me up!

Tea cups high, girls - tomorrow everything will be better :-)

Life Ball 2012 - Fight the Flames of Ignorance

Have you ever heard of the Life Ball?
For me it's THE event of the year in Vienna. It takes place every year in May since 1992. It's Europe's biggest charity event to help HIV-positive people. Find more info here and here.

It takes place in the Vienna town hall, a very old and impressive building. Since the space there is limited there are many pre-, after- or side-parties in clubs around the city. There's a strict dresscode!

I had the luck to attend this event five times and it was always great, inspiring and unique. I said, I had the luck, because there's no way to buy the tickets on a common way: you have to win it, or you have to volunteer (after 11 pm you can attend the party) or you have to know the right people.

For a few years there are themes. They started four years ago with the elements: Water, Air, Earth and Fire.

So this year, 2012, the theme is fire with "Fight the Flames of Ignorance".

The following pics are from the stylebible. This is a guideline to give you an idea or inspiration for your costume.

Have a look:

So since this is also THE event in Vienna during this time, the media is full of looks, dresses, make-ups...

Those pics I found in the Austrian Woman.

Tomorrow at 8.15 pm the ORF will broadcast live from the Vienna Rathausplatz. Since I'm ill, I already know, what I'm doing: definitely attending this event on the couch with tea instead of champagne. Watching the opening show outside the town hall and the fashion show (this year hosted by the Italian Vogue!) and get inspired by the amazing costumes, looks and body air brushes.

If you have a ticket: enjoy!!!
