a Star's Make Up

by 28.7.11

Hello everybody,

When I was in Helsinki with Epica, I had the pleasure to do Anneke van Giersbergen's make up!

It was fun to hang out with her and talk about all girly stuff. I find her extremely charismatic. She simply radiates a lovely energy. She's such a sweet heart!

I also managed to have a quick talk with Devin Townsend and shot some pics while at it.

Anneke asked for a nice smokey eye. I showed her the make up that I brought with me and she really liked my 'Good Girl' palette from Sleek, which is full of pinks. After some swatching we decided to use a lovely pink from MAC.

If you're interested in the products which I used for Anneke's look, please scroll down.

Two Dutch ladies.
With Devin Townsend.
For the eyes;
  • MAC pigment in 'Bright Fuschia'
  • MAC Copperplate e/s
  • MAC Print e/s
  • Black e/s from Sleek (you can find this in almost all the Sleep palettes)
  • Urban Decay Sin as highlighter
  • Clinique 02 True Black eyeliner (also on the water line) 

On the cheeks:
  • MAC Springsheen blush
  • MAC Silver Dusk highlighter

On the lips:
  • MAC 'Cherish' l/s
  • NYX lipliner pecil in 819 'Soft Brown'

Anneke was very pleased with her black and pink smokey eye, so was I. Hope you like it!

Love,

    Hallo,Simone

    Als ich in deinem twitter,dass man es mit Anneke erfüllen las, wusste ich, du würdest Bilder hier zeigen, von diesem Treffen!

    Schauen Sie sich ihre Arbeit kurz vor seinem und wurde automatisch ein Fan! Sie ist wunderschön,charismatisch und hat eine erstaunliche Stimme(wie Du!).

    Ich würde gerne sehen Sie zwei zusammen singen(das erste Mal sah ich Anneke wurde mit Sharon Den Adel singen und ich war begeistert!)
    Wieder genoss ich lese dein Blog!

    Agnes Küsse für Sie!

    gorgeous makeup Simone, I love to do nearly the same for me with fuchsia, copperplate, black and a bit of platinum for the inner eyelid.

    It's so great that you are a fan of MAC too :-)

    I just recently subscribed to your blog - I´m amazed by your makeup skills!
    And you can´t imagine my absolute joy when I saw these pictures of Anneke. She´s been one of my favourite singers for years now and she´s also a very beautiful woman, just like you. Seeing the two of you together makes me want to go to the Netherlands and see if all Dutch woman are this stunning :)

    There's a little mistake - his name is Townsend, not Towsend. :)
    By the way awesome make up, I love it! You and Anneke are gorgeous. :)
