A hobby of mine



I have always been drawing, as far as I can remember I always loved it. I recall spending nights after school drawing. Like any painter, I have 'periods' - horses when I was 7, houses when I was 12, wedding dresses when I was 16...

I am quite an anxious person and drawing helps me find some peace after an hectic day.

My grand-mother is a painter, my dad used to paint as well, I guess it is some sort of family genes.

So the new Wacom Bamboo tablet I bought is probably the reason why you may see a lot more of my drawings on the blog.

J'ai toujours dessiné. Depuis que j'ai appris à utiliser un crayon j'adore ça ! Je me souviens de soirées entières passées à dessiner au collège. Comme tout artiste, j'ai des vagues d'inspirations; les chevaux quand j'avais 7 ans, les maisons à 12 ans, les robes de mariées à 16 ans...

Je suis de nature anxieuse et dessiner m'aide a décompresser après une journée chargée. C'est dans mes gènes, ma grand-mere est une artiste peintre et mon père a peint lui aussi.

J'ai ainsi fait l'acquisition d'une tablette Wacom Bamboo et je vais m'appliquer à illustrer chacun de mes articles moi-meme.

Daily Make-Up Routine

It is make-up time! I absolutely love playing around in stores with all the colours and textures available, but to be honest, when it is about my everyday routine, I am extremely… conventional. Not much eccentricity, I am mainly seeking for a healthy glow. The products I am using have become my best allies to get rid of the “Ooops I just slept for 3 hours” and  the “Hmmm what are those blemishes all about?”.

 

Daily Make-Up Routine by delacachette

For work/leisure/casual events I use the followings after my beauty routine:

• L’Oreal CC cream help even out my skin
• A little bit of Touche d’Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent helps with pimples and dark circles
• Guerlain Terracotta is just THE BEST sun-like blush. The BEST.
• My eyelid just smudge anything I put on them EXCEPT MAC LiquidLast Liner. This one doesn’t move even when I am working out.
• I have been ask a few times if I wear fake lashes so I assume L’Oreal Million Lashes is doing the job
• Finally Revlon Strawberry ShortCake lip butter is the perfect fresh-healthy-daily pink

To make this routine a little bit more special events/Friday evening appropriate I would use the following:

• The Seaweed Body Shop face cream before to apply a CC cream or foundation. This really make my make-up last longer mostly on the warm days.
• I would following with my daily CC cream, Touche d’Eclat, Terracotta and eyeliner
• To accentuate my eyes more I add a little bit of MAC kohl pen in Black on my tear line
• I then apply mascara and finish with Revlon Just Bitten Kisseable Balm Stain in Lovesick. It makes my lips looks like I ate too many raspberries, which I am totally okay with!
