As September has still been quite warm, I didn´t feel like changing up my makeup routine any time soon, but now I´m slowly switching a few products!
I have to say that in terms of makeup, the transition from summer to autumn is definitely a very fun thing. In summer I really don't wear much makeup, of course because of the temperatures, so I'm very happy to finally be able to reach a little deeper into the drawer again and put on a little more makeup.
In the beginning there are really only small changes for me, for example I can finally wear Foundation again, as well as eyeshadow and eyeliner. Nevertheless, I stay with lighter nude tones before I switch to cooler brown tones.
The following products are therefore currently in my daily makeup routine:
Base
For a long time I have used the NYX Angel Veil Primer as a primer. It is really so good! The most important thing for me with a primer is that it covers the pores around my nose to get an even skin texture. This primer fulfills exactly this point, it covers my pores very well without clogging them and also helps to keep my makeup in place. I always blend it in with the Zoeva Buffing Brush, it works very well and I just like it more than having the remains of the primer on my fingers.
My absolute favorite is the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. Wow, just wow! So far I've only heard good things about this product, but couldn't really imagine that a CC Cream can be as covering as a foundation - wrong thought. It gives such a beautiful skin complexion! Even, fresh and with a hint of glow. You can hardly notice that you have applied something and also when looking closely, there is no trace of a thick makeup layer to be seen. I can really recommend it!
I only apply the foundation with my Beauty Blender - it's hard to believe but the difference of the result when applied with this sponge or with a brush is really immense!
As Concealer I love the Maybelline The Eraser Concealer. I think it´s already my third bottle of it and I´ll keep using it. I find it has the perfect amount of coverage for everyday and it´s also so easy to blend with a damp sponge. It blends in really naturally and so it´s hardly noticeable that you´re wearing a concealer.

As a powder I have been using The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 003 Medium Mat for a long time, but no not as a bronzer but to set. The bronzer in this color is still so light that I can apply it to my whole face and get a more "beautiful" skin color for me, and not underline my paleness even more.
For a hint of colour I apply the Artdeco Bronzing Blush. A beautiful three-coloured blush which, when all colours are mixed together, gives a beautiful sun-kissed complexion. Unfortunately this is only available on the Artdeco website as it is a limited edition as far as I know.
Finally there are a few splashes of the Artdeco Fixing Spray and the base is done!
Brows & Eyes
When it comes to eyebrows, I really always switch between extremely filled, defined eyebrows and the more natural look, where I hardly fill up my eyebrows and just comb them. Right now I love the natural look!
For this I use the NYX Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomeda Pencil in Chocolate. I definitely prefer eyebrow pencils because they are easier to use. This one is really very strongly pigmented, so you have to be careful not to get Eding eyebrows, haha. With the brush on one side I comb my eyebrows upwards and then only fill out the tail and the lower line, because my eyebrows are generally thicker anyway, this is enough for me.
As Mascara my new darling, the Dior Diorshow Mascara, should not be missing. Since I have already talked about it in more detail in my previous post, I will now be short. Long, voluminous eyelashes that look like fake eyelashes.
Lips
Currently I use almost every day the Artdeco Hydra Care Lipstick in Rose Oasis. It is a really beautiful natural rosé shade, a little more pink but not too extreme. I really like it a lot and the best part is the moisture strip in the middle of the lipstick. It gives a lot of care to the lips, which feel really soft for a long time.
For a browner lipstick I love the MaxFactor Lipstick in Burnt Caramel. A nice pink/brown tone. It also looks a lot darker in the packaging than it really is. It also feels very pleasant on the lips and lasts very well and long.
Post a Comment
Whether it's an elegant evening look or a simple day makeup, a pretty matching lipstick completes the look, that's definitely the case for me.
I would say that I have a relatively large selection of lipsticks, from nude to bright, everything is there.
Unfortunately, most lipsticks do not withstand everyday life, be it through eating or drinking or through normal removal over time, so these are the reasons why I like to apply lipsticks in the morning, but do not refresh them later on. It's just too exhausting for me to always have to pay attention and check if it still looks good.
Until now!
Through the dear anajohnson on Instagram, I have become aware of the absolute miracle product - the Artdeco Magic Fix.
It's really awesome!
It's really awesome!
The Artdeco Magic Fix is supposed to make the lipstick waterproof, and therefore prevent it from staining cups, glasses, etc. and also from leaking into the lip wrinkles.
It contains bergamot and lavender oils to give the lips some care aswell.

From the texture, it looks like water, and that's exactly how it is applied to the lips. With the small brush you brush over your lips and Tada the lipstick holds bombproof.
I have to say honestly, although there are actually good smelling oils in this product, it smells like nail polish remover to me, but don't worry, it will sink in really fast, so you don't smell or taste or even notice that you have something on your lips.

I was really excited before first applying it as to whether it really does what it promises and it definitely does.
I´ve put it to the absolute hardness test, I was eating greek food, means tasty salad with oil dressing, garlic bread and of course greasy food BUT the lipstick kept looking fresh and flawless after eating.
I was positively impressed and since then I use the Magic Fix without exception every time I wear lipstick!

I even get the question again and again which lipstick I use because it does not wear out and always looks fresh!
The only negative point, which has passed in the meantime, is the feeling during application.
My lips burned like fire the first time, so really as if I had put nail polish remover on it! According to the official product description, it is probably due to the alcohol that is in this product and it is probably a natural reaction, nevertheless, it was really very unpleasant, but meanwhile 5 applications have passed and I do not feel burning and pinching any more - no worries my lips were also very good after the first time - visually and feeling hahaha.

The Magic Fix is unfortunately nothing for gloss or creamy lip products.
But I didn't have any problems so far, no matter if with a matt lipstick or with the Hydra Care lipstick from Artdeco, which is more creamy, the Magic Fix helped to maintain the durability. I haven't tried the combination with a gloss yet, but I could imagine that it would be a mess, and the brush of the Magic Fix would mix the gloss with the product itself - which wouldn't be so ideal now...

With a price of 13€ it is perfectly ok, since you really do not need much per application and therefore also the 5ml bottle will definitely last you for a long time.
From my opinion it is totally worth buying the Artdeco Magic Fix. I enjoy wearing lipstick a lot more because I don't have to pay attention to what I do and what my lips look like. I am very happy with it and recommend it to everyone I know and likes to wear lipstick!
Do you already know this product? What is your experience with it?
It was prom night on Saturday, eeeeeek. I´ve been waiting for that night for soo long.
Of course I put a lot of thoughts in my makeup.
It shouldn´t look too cakey but natural, should last the whole night and especially through all the eating and drinking that was sure to happen that night.
The only solution was to use the best of the best, which are these lovely products.
Primer is a huge topic in my eyes. At this moment there are sooo many on the market, all from different price ranges and all with a different aim.
Some promise to hide your pores, some give you a matte or glowy finish and some are just there to make your base products stick to your face all day.
