"The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural."

Calvin Klein



I burst out laughing when I read this quote by Calvin Klein, it's so true - especially now in the middle of winter. I haven't seen the sun since september - without makeup I look like a dead fish. But Lina and I have finally booked a trip to Gran Canaria! Bad weather is not acceptable - I'll be on the beach from early morning to late evening and get lots of vitamin D! I will probably look like a red lobster, but rather that than a dead fish! 
The illustration is made at the same time as my header - I explaining how I made the image in this post. Have a great weekend. Love!

Jag brast ut i skratt när jag läste detta citat av Calvin Klein, det är så sant - särskilt nu mitt i vintern. Jag har inte sett solen sedan september - utan smink ser jag ut som en död fisk. Men Lina och jag har äntligen bokat en resa till Gran Canaria! Dåligt väder är inte acceptabelt - jag kommer att befinna mig på stranden från tidig morgon till sen kväll och få massor av D-vitamin! Jag kommer förmodligen att se ut som en röd hummer, men hellre det än en död fisk! 
Bilden är gjord samtidigt som min header - jag förklarar hur jag gjorde bilden i det här inlägget. Ha en bra helg. Kärlek!

  7. Great work, Johanna. You are very talented. I appreciate your visit to my blog. It is so nice to meet artists from all over the world. As to makeup, I have improved my appearance by wearing makeup for over 60 years. I have rosecea and a light foundation cream smoothes out the redness. A little dab of blusher and lipstick makes me look human. I see a lot of people whose appearance would be 100% improved with a little glow on their cheeks.

    1. Hello Faye!

      Thank You for your comment, I appreciate your words and totally agree with you that it's amazing that we are able to share art, thoughts and experiences with each other! Thanks for sharing your story!
      I also agree that a lot of people would look "better" with just a little touch of make up :) Take care!
