Everything you need to know about makeup – doll cheeks, 90s brows and co.
The hectic pace of everyday life often leaves little time for extensive styling and I was wondering how you can still look fresh and radiant quickly, but in such a way that half of your make-up hasn’t run out by the afternoon. Nowadays, especially with the fast-moving TikTok algorithm, where trends come and go, it’s easy to lose track of what look the it-girls are doing. We grabbed someone who knows their stuff and gave us their tips on how our make-up finally lasts and which look the masses are currently celebrating.
Elliuno on looks, trends and nude shades
On TikTok and Instagram, Ellen inspires us daily with valuable tricks and tips, product recommendations and shares these with her curious followers, who often ask her for beauty advice. In an interview, beauty queen Ellen tells us which current trends she is currently celebrating and gives advice on how to keep your make-up looking perfect all day long. Ellen provides daily updates on the latest products on the market and tests them for her almost 160,000 subscribers on TikTok. In this interview, the beauty queen tells us more about her favorite looks and how her make-up stays fresh all day long
Take a look at how Ellen creates the best looks:
Doll Cheek Trend and 90s Brows
FIV: Tell me Ellen, is there a product that you have recently come to know and love?
Ellen: I’ve had the popular Rare Beauty Liquid Blush on my wish list for a very long time and now I’ve finally tried it and I’m thrilled. I wish I had bought it sooner!
FIV: Since you’re talking about blush, what do you think of the doll cheek look à la Sabrina Carpenter?
Ellen: I love it! Actually my favorite blush placement as it looks very cute and makes my face look slimmer. Maybe the comeback has something to do with the fact that Asian make-up techniques are becoming more and more popular. But that’s just a guess! I’ve also been getting tired of the “lifted face” look lately.
FIV: As we all know, fashion trends keep repeating themselves over the years. At the moment, 90s skinny brows are back in fashion. The ultra-thin eyebrows form a stark contrast to the“laminated statement brows” that have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Ellen: I actually haven’t dared to try the 90s skinny brows yet, and I probably never will as they wouldn’t suit my face. However, I think they look beautiful on many others and are something different after the laminated brows trend.
The perfect make-up for everyday life: highlighting your own features
FIV: What is your personal favorite way to apply make-up?
Ellen: Glowy skin, a bit of glitter on the eyes and glossy lips are my go-to look! Glitter is also a must for me in everyday life, it gives me self-confidence.
FIV: Are you also a fan of eye-catching statement lips or do you prefer to stick to nude shades?
Ellen: Something in between, but more in the nude direction. My favorite combination is a nude lip liner with a soft pink, mauve shade!
FIV: And how do you feel about the “Bare Beauty: Less is more” philosophy?
Ellen: I personally think it’s beautiful. I like to experiment with lots of make-up from time to time, but mostly I create make-up looks that beautifully emphasize my own individual features.
Daily makeup and product recommendations
FIV: Do you have a favorite product that you can’t do without in your make-up routine?
Ellen: The Skin Lovin Sensitive Concealer from essence is my absolute favorite product. I really use it every day. It has a medium coverage that you can build up quite well and a texture that doesn’t cakey or dry out on the skin and looks very natural.
FIV: What is your favorite make-up accessory and why?
Ellen: The blending tassels from Korean Cushion Foundations are the best for blending concealer and foundation. Better than any beauty blender. Super thin, soft, easy to clean and they come in many different shapes and colors.
FIV: Which products and techniques do you think are crucial for long-lasting make-up and why?
Ellen: Technique: Don’t apply too much product. A thin layer of foundation or concealer, for example, still looks pretty good at the end of the day and doesn’t get cakey so quickly.
But beware. Blush definitely lasts better if you use a liquid or cream AND powder version. More is more here. Products: Lots of fixing spray and a good primer. Both ensure that the make-up lasts a long time AND looks good.
FIV: Your passion for make-up and your expertise on current trends and long-lasting looks are truly inspiring. We will definitely be trying out the thin layering technique.
