MAKE UP AND PHOTO SHOOT WITH DOUGLAS
A couple of years ago I participated in one of these professional make up and photoshoot events and although the photos turned out really nice, I always thought "I don't look like that!" I actually never used those photos on social media as I felt nobody will recognise me in real life ;-)
However, last year I very much enjoyed my make-up and styling event with designer Thomas Rath for QVC's Insider magazine - see my post and photos of the event here.
We all have these days when we look fabulous (that is usually when we feel fabulous!) and others when we want to stay clear of any mirror ;-) My photographer Jasmin who takes all my outfit photos knows me well and our photos always capture the real me. I am so grateful for her taking the time!
Recently Douglas offered a professional make-up and photo shooting in my neighbouring town. Since I had no plans for the weekend and the weather wasn't brilliant for outdoor activities, I thought it would be nice to indulge myself with a little beauty treatment and signed up for an appointment.
Note to self:
Do this more often and make time for a day spa in the very near future!
I started the day with a nice little breakfast in a lovely café before I headed over to the beauty shop where the lovely ladies welcomed me with a glass of champagne!
Lucy, my make-up artist and I discussed the style of my make-up and I asked for a natural look with a special focus on my hooded eyes and a soft coloured lipstick.
Have you ever tried those transparent stickers to enlarge hooded eyelids? They are supposed to be invisible after you add compact eyeshadow but I didn't feel comfortable with them and Lucy removed them.
BTW, I have published these photos on Instagram and Facebook... just hope you'll recognise me in case we meet IRL one day ;-)

MAKE UP UND PHOTO SHOOTING BEI DOUGLAS
Vor einigen Jahren habe ich an einem dieser Beauty- und Fotoevents teilgenommen und die Aufnahmen sind damals auch wirklich sehr schön geworden, allerdings dachte ich immer "so sehe ich gar nicht aus!" Kennt Ihr das, wenn man solche Fotos nicht auf social media verwenden möchte, weil man denkt "und wenn mich jemand in echt sieht??"
Toll fand ich übrigens mein professionelles Make-up beim Styling Event mit Thomas Rath für das QVC Insider Magazin letztes Jahr. Hier könnt Ihr sehen, wie ich dort geschminkt wurde!
Natürlich kennen wir alle Tage, an denen wir uns rundum schön finden (was aber meistens mit einer generellen Stimmung zusammenhängt) und andere, an denen wir einen großen Bogen um jeden Spiegel machen. Meine Fotografin Jasmin, die mich für meine Outfitposts fotografiert, kennt mich gut und ich bin immer "ich" wenn ich meine Fotos durchsehe... und aussortiere, wenn ich denke "oh nein, da schaue ich einfach grauenvoll aus" - was dann aber nicht an Jasmin liegt ;-)
Kürzlich erhielt ich den aktuellen Newsletter von Douglas mit einem Angebot für ein Make-up und anschließendem Fotoshooting. Gerade wenn ich keine Pläne für's Wochenende habe, vertrödle ich nämlich gerne mal die Zeit zuhause und so kam ein nettes Verwöhnprogramm gerade recht!
Erst ein kleines Frühstück bei Pano und danach ging es zu Douglas, wo schon ein Glas Sekt bereitstand.
Lucy, meine Make-up Stylistin fragte mich, wie ich mir meinen Look vorstelle und für mich war klar, dass es natürlich aussehen sollte. Meine schmalen Augen sollten besser hervorgehoben werden und dazu ein zarter Lippenstift. Aporopos Schlupflider: Sie hat bei mir diese kleinen transparenten Klebestrips ausprobiert, die helfen sollen, das Lid zu heben. Sie können auch überschminkt werden und seien somit anschließend unsichtbar. Allerdings habe ich mich damit nicht wohlgefühlt, man spürt sie ein bisschen und ich hatte Bedenken, dass man sie eben doch bemerkt und habe sie gleich wieder entfernen lassen.
Diese Fotos habe ich übrigens auf Instagram und Facebook verwendet... also falls wir uns mal treffen, hoffe ich, Ihr erkennt mich ;-)
Für alle Bestellerinnen auf Douglas DE gibt es aktuell 10% Rabatt mit dem Gutscheincode AFM515 gültig bis 30.06.2015, kein Mindestbestellwert!
