Let's talk color: Color schemes in makeup (part II)


As I promised in last post, we have something really nice to show you. In collaboration with Illamasqua store in Zagreb, Croatia, I’ve created 10 different makeup looks based on 10 basic color schemes.

I won’t write too much this time, because the photos are pretty much self-explanatory. However, I would like state my gratitude towards Illamasqua staff, as they were helpful, fun, and made us feel as comfortable as we would be in our own home. Thank you for that. :) Also, girls were really great and cooperative. Everything combined – this was (although quite exhausting) wonderful experience! :)

Now enjoy the photos! :)
