World Cities: Moscow












I'm back to making videos after a break (I got really sick for about a week and lost my voice, then I just got really busy and my mom visited for a few days.) This look is part of my World City Looks series, this time inspired by Moscow. At first I wanted to do something colorful inspired by the Red Square, but the more I thought about it, the more I was intrigued by the concept of long and cold Russian winter nights, stomping through the snow, fur hats and Dr. Zhivago. I decided to go for an intense, smoldering navy blue eye, and to not make it look gothic, paired it with juicy looking stained lips and in-from-the-cold cheeks.

  12. Hi Julia,

    This is a bit irrelevant to this video, but I didnt know where to post. In one of your past videos you recommended a Nail Tek nailpolish for strengthening nails. I would like to know, if you meant Nail Tek Foundation(pinkish base coat) or Nail Tek Treatment?

    If foundation, then what's the difference between strength 2 and 3?

    Thanks!

    A few new city look ideas.
    - Osaka (nightlife, visual kei, overall modern Japanese pop culture... or Yakuza body art)
    - Kyoto, if you want to go more traditional (temples, shinto shrines, festivals, green tea-flavoured everything, geisha culture...)
    - Florence
    - Amsterdam
    - Angkor Wat (does that count as a world city?)
