Foolproof Everyday Base: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
In the autumn, I had a plan to do a post on new foundations and other base products on the market, as there were a number of very interesting launches from Pat McGrath and Charlotte Tilbury to Surratt and Anastasia Beverly Hills. After some soul searching, I..
Best of 2018: Makeup
I admit this title is misleading, as it’s in no way a comprehensive assessment of stuff that came out in 2018. Firstly, I don’t buy that much makeup any more. Mind you, I still buy much more than an average person, but I don’t test as much as I do with skinc..
Autumn Edit: Makeup
Makeup is one category where I buy less stuff than I used to (although I might end up paying more…). That said, I did buy quite a few things for this autumn, as I usually find autumn more inspiring in makeup terms than other times of the year. It is foundati..
Makeup Update: Bronze and Smoke, Red and Ruby
I haven’t done a makeup roundup in ages, mostly because I haven’t been buying much – or been that excited about makeup, for that matter. Lately, however, I have found not one but two looks that I really like and bought a few new toys for trying them out. The..
The Sunset Eye
I’m not the greatest of makeup artists – most of the time, I cannot be bothered with anything elaborate and even if decide that I want a full face, I go for effect over technical mastery. That said, I have a good understanding of makeup in general: what prod..

In the previous Glossier post on their skincare, I talked about how it’s a very consistent, well targeted brand. This is possibly even more true for Glossier makeup: it is fresh and modern, there are no dense pigments or full-coverage products. The biggest a..
January Memo: IKEA, Sparkly Eye Shadow and Black Panther
It’s still January, so officially totally OK to issue this month’s memo – snippets that seem interesting to me and hopefully to you as well. I have labelled them clearly, so you can skip the ones that look boring!
1. Penguin Modern series. If you’ve been..
Best of 2017: Makeup, Perfume and Style
My makeup and perfume purchases slowed down considerably in 2017 and I’m not entirely sure how to tackle the style category, so I’ve combined all this into one post. Not everything here is new, but it’s all great and hopefully helpful.
Cheap Face: The Makeup Edition
I know I’m not great at „beauty on the budget“ advice, as I usually use pretty pricey products myself and I’m not a professional blogger who tries and assesses everything on the market. This does not mean that I think expensive stuff is always better: there ..
The Three-Minute Face
For all my love and talk of makeup, I actually leave home most days without having any on my face. It’s not that I have suddenly embraced my natural beauty, it’s just that I’m constantly late. And it’s OK, I can handle my bare face. Do I feel better at an im..
