Hair/make up - Tell me what you want to know!

Since I started this blog six weeks ago, I've been asked a lot of questions about how I do my hair and my make up. Some of you have asked for tutorials or "how-to" guides. And obviously, I really want to tell you everything you want to know.

The only problem is... I have no idea where to start. I'm so far from being an expert on anything that has to do with beauty (or fashion for that matter), and I'm not sure I have anything to tell you that you don't already know, or that you can't find much better tips on how to do in a magazine or on every make up and hair blog out there. But it's of course enormously flattering that you think I might have something to share on this particular matter, and I'm more than willing to try! Though, first, I need a little help.

You see, what I'm asking is this: what would you like to know? What kind of tutorials are you interested in and what looks would you prefer to learn more about? Is it specific techniques you're after, products, inspiration, or more general advice? Tell me, and I'll do my best to satisfy any kind of curiosity you might have!

  2. Coralie, I can answer that straight away: I don't. I'm naturally this pale. All I use is a little bit of concealer underneath my eyes.

  5. I want to know eeeeverythiiing :D It would be great if you could maybe show us what's in your makeup bag, what products you use for your hair and your skin to make it so flawless. How to get those gorgeous smokey eyes like in the pinup post! And the lips of course! What shades of lipstick do you use? How do you decide how to do your make up and your hair, do you do it before you get dressed or the other way around? Ooh so many questions, sorry, but you did ask for it ;)

  12. Hey Annika !
    this is one great piece of idea even if I have nothing to ask tou you about make-up or hair.
    I just want to tell you that I appreciate the way you highlight your features putting yourself in a pleasurable light.
    For me it's certain that you are aware of your beauty and do than what each of us makes,point out what we consider to be a our qualities ( using make-up in the required amount or other beauty tricks).

    wish you a good day!

  19. I think, since you have really nice skin, a run-through of your beauty routine? I have pale skin as well, and I'm always looking for new tips on how to care for it, especially in the summer! Also, as others have mentioned, tips on how to achieve the bold red lip you've perfected! :)

  20. I can't believe you've only had this blog 6 weeks, it seems really worked-on to me! I'm curious about what you did before this blog, spicy details that aren't in the "about" section :)

  21. Hi, your blog is really great! Lovely style and photos and writing:]
    I was wondering how you style your hair - what products do you use on it, do you ever straighten it and if so, how?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I wanna know your beauty regimen! :) And how you put eye make-up and also, how you put your red lipstick!

  23. Sorry, this is not relevant to hair/makeup.
    Though I really like to know how you edit your photos as well as what kind of camera are you using? I love the pop of colors and lighting of your photos.

    Thanks!

  24. I would just like to know what your basic, usual routine is. Like what you'd do on a typical day with your hair or make-up, your "go-to" hair styling and make-up routine. So, in other words, "The Annika Look", haha. :)

  25. I know this isn't really a question about your hair or make-up, which are both beyond lovely, but I am curious how you edit your pictures? They are all so perfect, especially the sun spots. What kind of camera do you use?
