My Artdeco Spring Look: Beauty Meets Fashion

Artdeco created his Spring 2016 collection in collaboration with Talbot Runhof, a successful brand under the fingertips of two designers. Their collaboration is not a new thing as they were gathering ideas in the past. This time, Artdeco went all out with floral print, navy sailor lines and high intensity colours. This romantic yet bold collection of makeup is truly inspirational to try out different, ''out of the box'' looks. Fashion and beauty truly go hand in hand. What better way to announce upcoming spring...

Artdeco je v sodelovanju z Talbot Runhof, ki je že skoraj tradicionalno, zacvetel v vsej veličini pomladnih barv. Talbot Runhof je namreč uspešen butik dveh oblikovalcev, ki sta vedno v koraku s trendi. Sveže cvetje, mornarske črte in barve modnih trendov so ujete v prikupno in zelo barvito zbirko ličil Beauty Meets Fashion. Hkrati drzna a romantična interpretacija, nakazuje da se moda in lepota resnično lepo ujameta v paru. Ali je sploh še kako bolje naznaniti pomlad kot s pisanim šopkom cvetja?

I've never really had any experiences with Artdeco mascaras, but there is something special about this particular Volume Supreme Mascara (13,95€). I've heard many praises beforehand and my expectations were high. Silicone mascara wand is actually perfect for getting those perfect, combed through lashes with fair lengthening. It gives a bit of volume and a lot of length while lashes look sophisticated without any clumps. Formula is lovely, not too liquidy yet it holds the curl. I generally hate extra liquidy formula like Maybelline's. Also, I don't feel you need any extra help from lash curler, the mascara is actually that good. Along with separate false eyelashes, I've also used this mascara in my spring look. Love at first try! I might convert into Artdeco mascara fan after all.

Pred preizkušnjo Volume Supreme Maskare (13,95€, Muller & na spletu) še nikoli nisem imela izkušenj z Artdeco maskarami. Slišala sem že kar nekaj pohval iz različnih smeri, vendar sem nekako vedno pozabila konkretno raziskati to področje. Bila sem zadovoljna z mojo redno izbiro, vendar me je nova Volume Supreme Maskara navdušila s prvim poizkusom. Trepalnice dobro poudari (čimbolj opazne, tem boljše), vendar jih kljub temu ne zlepi po nekaj nanosih. Silikonska krtačka trepalnice lepo loči, poda volumen in jih opazno podaljša brez dodatnega truda. Krtačka je univerzalna in bo všeč večjemu delu publike, saj je dobra srednja mera velikosti in tudi oblike. Formula je ravno pravšnja, ne pre-tekoča ne pre-gosta. Sovražim zelo tekoče formule, ki se ponavadi ne obdržijo dobro na mojih svetlih in dokaj kratkih trepalnicah. Prav tako maskara dobro obdrži dvig trepalnic sama po sebi. Težko sem navdušena nad novo maskaro takoj po odprtju, vendar me je tale prepričala s prvim nanosom. Mogoče pa se od danes naprej držim le Artdeco maskar...

Mineral Eye Styler (8,95€) is already a staple on Artdeco shelves, new is only colour in 90 Mineral Navy Blue. It's a blackened creamy shade with subtle navy blue sheen. It's waterproof and longlasting, perfect for adding a bit of depth to your inner eye area or smudged liner flick. Due to creamy formula, you can also use it as a base for all navy eyeshadows. It's opaque and buildable.

Mineral Eye Styler svinčnik za oči (8,95€, Muller & na spletu) je že dejansko nekaj časa na Artdeco policah, vendar se je skupini pridružil nov odtenek 09 Mineral Navy Blue. Svinčnik je baziran na črni barvi in ima dokaj subtilen mornarsko moder pridih. Kremna formula je popolna za vse, tako za ''zadimljen videz'' kot tudi nadomestek tekočega črtala. Kremna tekstura se lahko uporabi tudi kot baza za senčila. Obenem pa se črtalo posuši v dokaj vodoodporno formulo, ki jo lahko odstranimo le z oljnim čistilcem. Črtalo je dobro pigmentirano in se zlahka sloji.

Eyeshadows (dose 10,95€, each eyeshadow 4,95€) from Artdeco are always superb. From buttery smooth texture, longevity and crazy pigmentation. Six new shades were added to the massive palette of colours. All in all, they are all pretty pigmented but some of them are slightly crumbly (pink and navy blue). But let's take a look at each of them in detail.

36A Golden Almond is yellowish champagne with golden shimmer. It's not fully opaque but rather sheer wash of gold. I've used it in my look as a brow bone and inner eye highlighter. Could be easily used as cheek highlighter too. 120 Pink Bloom is standard pink with blue shimmer or shift. It's not the most pigmented colour out of the bunch but used with damp brush, I've incorporated pink on my lower lash line. 135 Skipper's Love is a pure matte red. Red eyeshadow is pretty difficult to use but paired with other brights, you can avoid looking sick or tired. I don't recommend using it with black eyeshadow as it can look outdated or devil-ish. I used it as a main colour all over my lid. 252 Lemon Flicker is a unique blend of lemongrass green and gold shimmer. It can be easily paired with neutral or as a refreshing grasshopper green. Perfect for the inner eye area or as a shifting colour through entire lid. 270 Navy Blue is a satin darkened blue, perfect as an liner or smokey base. Pigmentation could be better but eyeshadow base can bring out full intensity. 515 Mat Stony Shore is a perfect matte pigeon grey. It's just enough warm to be paired with neutrals yet I love to use it on my brows. Also, works well as a cheek contour shade on my lower look.

Artdeco Senčila za oči (dozica 10,95€ in posamezno senčilo 4,95€, Muller & na spletu) so po kvaliteti vedno popolna. Že nekaj let sem zvesta uporabnica njihovih enojnih senčil, saj so mehka kot maslo, imajo odlično pigmentacijo in so dolgo obstojna. Šest novih odtenkov preseneča z drznostjo palete barv in vsekakor vabijo izven okvirjev. Na splošno so vsi odtenki dobro pigmentirani, moti me le drobljivost pri roza in modrem odtenku. Ampak oglejmo si raje podrobno vsak odtenek.

36A Golden Almond je rumenkasto bež z zlatim odsevom. Odtenek ni popolnoma prekriven, zato se ga lahko sloji čez ostale barve ali se uporabi kot osvetljevalec kotičkov očes ali lic. 120 Pink Bloom je standardna roza s šimrastim odsevom modre. Malce drobljiva tekstura in slabša pigmentacija sicer ni tako velika ovira, saj se lepo nanaša na malce mokrem čopiču. 135 Skipper's Love je čista mat rdeča. Rdeča je zelo težka za uporabo, saj lahko oči hitro izgledajo vnete ali utrujene. Mogoče se izognite kombinacije rdeča-črna, saj lahko oči hitro izgledajo ''zlobno'' in raje posezite po kombinaciji svetlejših odtenkov. 252 Lemon Flicker je nadvse nenavadna mešanica limonsko zelene in zlatih svetlečih delcev. Lepo osvetli notranje kotičke oči, doda pa tudi nekaj dimenzije na vekah. 270 Navy Blue je dokaj potemnjena mornarsko modra, ki se lahko uporabi za ''smokey eyes'' ali doda obrobo namesto tekočega črtala. Pigmentacija sicer ni najboljša, vendar se v kombinaciji s svinčnikom ali bazo lahko doseže popolna prekrivnost. 515 Mat Stony Shore je idealna golobje mat siva, popolna v kombinaciji ostalih nevtralnih odtenkov. Jaz jo uporabljam tudi za obrvi, saj ima ravno pravšnjo dozo toplega in hladnega tona.

For this unusual Spring look I've used:

Eyeshadow 135 Skipper's Love for entire lid
Eyeshadow 120 Pink Bloom on my lower lash line
Eyeshadow 36A Golden Almond on my brow bone and inner corners
Eyeshadow 515 Matt Stoney Shore as a cheek contour and brow colour
Volume Supreme Mascara along with single false lashes
Perfect Color Lipstick 25A (Mystical Forest LE) with Kiko Smart Lip pencil 715
On the second picture I've only changed lip color with MAC All Fired Up

Za ta dokaj nenavaden spomladanski videz sem večinoma uporabila:

Senčilo 135 Skipper's Love po celotni veki
Senčilo 120 Pink Bloom na spodnjem delu vek
Senčilo 36A Golden Almond kot osvetljevalec pod obrvmi
Senčilo 515 Matt Stoney Shore za osenčenje ličnic in obrvi
Volume Supreme Mascara skupaj s posameznimi umetnimi trepalnicami
Perfect Color Lipstick 25A (Mystical Forest kolekcija) in Kiko Smart Lip pencil 715
Na drugi sliki sem le zamenjala šminko z odtenkom MAC All Fired Up

This collection definitely got me out of my comfort zone. Bold colours that usually don't get much attention on daily basis are truly a surprise. Nevertheless, Beauty Meets Fashion Talbot Runhof clearly has some hidden gems after initial frightening effect. Looking for that perfect red eyeshadow? 135 Skipper's Love is the answer. Colours like 36A Golden Almond and 252 Lemon Flicker give a bit of dimension to your neutral look with golden specks. While pigeon grey 515 Mat Stoney Shore is perfect for all blondes - multitasker for brows, contouring and neutral eyelooks. Volume Supreme Mascara is my personal gem from this line - it lengthens, gives volume and defines lashes without a problem. Along these eye makeup bits, there are also 6 Perfect Mat Colour lipsticks (I approve texture and colours!), 2 new Hydra Lip Booster glosses, 3 shades of Eye Designer shadows, 4 nail polishes, 1 red Mineral Lip Stylo and floral Blush. For international orders, check Artdeco on Beautybay.

Priznam, kolekcija me je potisnila izven mojih udobnih okvirjev. Drzne barve so velikokrat pozabljene v predalih, ker enostavno niso tako uporabne za vsak dan. Na prvo žogo deluje kolekcija celo malce hektično in zmedeno. Kljub temu, se v pomladni kolekciji Talbot Runhof lahko najde nekaj biserov. Če še vedno iščete popolno rdečo senčilo, bo 135 Skipper's Love prišel prav v kreativnih trenutkih. Odtenka 36A Golden Almond in 252 Lemon Flicker sta dokaj edinstvena in uporabna tudi za kanček razigrane pastelne a zlate barve. Medtem ko je 515 Mat Stony Shore nepogrešljiva nevtralno golobje siva za vse blondinke - tako za obrvi, senčenje in nevtralne videze. Volume Supreme Maskara je čudovita, trepalnice lepo loči ter jih hkrati optično podaljša in poveča. Vsekakor moj najljubši kos te kolekcije. Poleg vseh predstavljenih izdelkov lahko v kolekciji raziščete še 6 Perfect Mat šmink (teksturo sem preizkusila v Mullerju in potrjujem nakup), 2 nova odtenka Hydra Lip Booster glosa, 3 novi odtenki Eye Designer senčil, 4 laki, 1 svinčnik za ustnice in rdečilo s čudovitim cvetličnim potiskom. Kolekcijo si že lahko ogledate v Mullerjih ali na spletni strani Artdeco.
