After my post about why I don’t wear make-up, and my recent co-operation with Demak’Up I received a few questions about beauty blogging and why I don’t do it more often. So I devised a short list of 10 reasons why I should leave beauty blogging to the pro’s and want to stick to my trusted style-niche!
- I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.
- “Soooo… bronzer and blush are not substitutes? You use them together?”
- I never knew your face could be divided into so many zones
- It took us a total of 3 hours to get my make-up done, take product shots and make portraits. Outfit shooting takes me usually 15 minutes to prepare, 10 minutes to walk to a location and another 10 minutes to shoot.
- …and I haven’t even spoken about the editing!
- Getting the light to fall on your face just right to avoid shadows is a tough job!
- I am way to conscious about my skin to let the camera come so close to it. Too. Much. Detail.
- I have very wrinkly eyelids. Is that weird?
- IllemasquWHAT? And do I really have “sexplosion” on my face?
- The only fall out I know is Fall Out Boy. I like their latest album, by the way.
If you, like me, could use a little help with make-up and want to learn the meanings of words like “crease” I suggest you stop by my girls Inez, Natasja, Elien and Natalie and their blogs for all the tips and tricks you need!
wrinkly eyes must be a red head thing, because I have them too!
Hahahaha!!!
You’re great, Nikki! 😀

xxoo,

Yes! definitely a redhead thing; same here 😉
Hahaha, love this! I could never be a beauty blogger either! While I like make up and trying new products here and there, I mostly like sticking to tried and true products and make up styles. It takes me 10 minutes to get ready in the morning. It’s crazy how it takes some girls a half hour or an hour to get ready! Yikes!

haha umm are you serious? I thought you used either blush or bronzer too! Are you supposed to use them together? I have no idea how that would work…..
Makeup confuses me too! I have foundation, powder, blush and mascara and lipstick. But skip those most days to just wear BB cream and lip balm. Easier! 🙂
Away From The Blue
Ha! Why I will never be a beauty blogger either. I just learned from you that you use bush and bronzer together…
I like their latest album too 😉
You’re very pretty without and with the makeup… do what makes you comfortable!
Hihi leuke post 😀 Ik ben zelf wel bezig met beauty, maar ik ben echt niet op de hoogte van de laatste nieuwe trends in beautywereld en mijn grote passia is nog steeds mode 🙂
Je hebt er wel de beste Belgische beautyblogs uitgekozen!

hehe fall out boy weet ik een stuk meer te appreciëren dan fall out 😉
Haha Fall Out Boy, ja die ken ik ook! :p
Hahaha echt leuk geschreven, vooral van die fall out 🙂
hahaa ik herken mezelf bij veel dingen :p
Haha zo leuk om te lezen!
Ik voel me even vreemd als het over fashionbloggen gaat 😀
En thanks om me te vermelden <3
ahhaha nice to read!
Thanks for the mention! I guess the wrinkly eyelids are in the DNA of our family (good job dad, good job. Nope).
Haha, ik snap u volledig! Die facelook was ook een énorme beproeving voor mij :p Respect voor de beauty bloggers!
Hahaha Fall Out Boy 😀 Tof artikel! x
“Sexplosion”. This made my morning. Can’t stop laughing. I have under eyes, so we’re a good pair. 😉
Hahah zalig!! Ik gebruik bronzer en blush ook als substituten.. Hoeveel spullen “moet” je anders wel net op je gezicht smeren.. :p
Hahahaha ik ben echt hetzelfde 😀
hahahaha 😀
You are so funny :p
Hahaha, I love this so much. Also, I’m don’t see the big deal about make up. If my skin were clearer, I wouldn’t care to wear it, either.
Hahah, you made me laugh <333 echt een komische post!! en dank je wel voor de mention. Dat is super lief 😀 hihi. Hoe gaat het met de examens? x
Hahahahaha, superleuk geschreven. Ik heb ook echt luidop zitten lachen!
Haha zo goed! Mijn oogleden hebben ook teveel rimpels, eindelijk iemand met hetzelfde probleem 😀
Naomi, x
So so true!! I did one beauty post and it took absolute ages. I have such a new found respect for beauty bloggers!
