make up essentials


skin tone:
i either use Foundation Stick, #4 by Bobbi Brown in the morning - it's natural, light and dry,
or Extra Repair Foundation SPF 25, #4.5 in night - it's liquid and very thick, 
but hides all kinds of imperfections and stays on your skin for long. 
i usually help it with a tiny #239 M.A.C. brush

concealer:
i put Touche Eclat, 2 by YSL under the eyebrow and on dark circles area 
to highlight it

finish:
some Prep+Prime Transperent Finishing Powder by M.A.C. with a huge #134 brush 
to matte the skin


sculpt:
my most recent beauty-purchase - 
gorgeous Ombre Contraste, Notorious by Chanel.
the best way to define your cheekbones!
i also put Bronzing Powder, Bronze by m.a.c
on my forehead and face contour

blush:
depends on my mood: either pastel Le Prisme Soft Compact Face Powder, Givenchy
or blazing Powder Blush, Frankly Scarlet by m.a.c. (brush #187)


eyes:
i prefer a pencil over a liquid eyeliner, the most long-lasting ones 
by my experience are the Khol Pencil, #1 True Black by D&G 
or Stylo Yeux Waterproof, #88 by Chanel.


before and after:
i always cleanse my face with rose water, then 
put Hydraskin Intensive Serum by Darphin, which gets immediately absorbed.
the third step is my favorite moisturizer - 
Ultra Facial Cream by Kiehl's.

haircare


volumise: 
my favorite shampoo for now is Egg Oil Shine Shampoo by RAUSCH (Switzerland)
(that's why its actually empty on the pic, but it's light yellow).
contains proteins from fresh egg yolk and 
surprisingly smells like heaven.

repair: 
the eco-friendly duo i'm also in love with is More Moisture by BURT'S BEES (USA)!
it's 99% natural, enriched with amino acid, baobab and avocado oil.
i think of my sister every time i use it aww


shine:
all my leave-ons are from Moroccanoil (Israel). 
i apply the classic Oil Treatment on my damp hair 
and Glimmer Shine Spray on dry ends after styling. 

fix:
i rarely use a hairspray, but this one is light and 
controls my fringe for at least couple hours.
j'adore the smell of argan oil again


tint:
since 10% of my hair is blond now, i use
this great Shampooing Argent by Eugene Perma (France) 
once in a month or so. it gives cool violet foam 
and refreshes the shade of my dyed locks.
