The girl behind the camera - Shooting in a loft

I've straightened my hair just to show you guys how similar we look like.
She has such a unique style...
...you can tell she took this photo just by looking at it for a second...
...she is also talented in choosing the right effects for a picture - she can never go too far...
...and Zsófi can choose the most epic places for the photo sessions.

Let me just show you our most recent photoshoot that we made with Zsófi.

So my sister has this weird stuff about our loft - she loves taking photos in it, so she came with an idea that she wants to take photos of me - but in a different way.

I'm not the most opened person for photoshoots, because I don't think this is working for me - just because I can look really silly on these kind of photos, and a lot of makeup is not the luckiest and best thing for a young girl like me - it makes me so much older than I really am.
So I often say 'no' to her, which is kinda rude from me, because she always takes these photos of me for lookbook and for my blog, so I just shouldn't say 'no', I should be honored and thankful - which I am, by the way...

And she is the girl behind the camera - my amazing sister, Zsófia Olga.

However, we both had theories about the photoshoot (different ideas, of course), then we went upstairs to just... Do the whole thing (but there was two random stranger men standing in our way - they were working on a flat -, and I was wearing huge false-lashes, I had dark red lips, heavy eye-makeup, extra-tall high heels, tights, a bodysuit and a sheer blouse on, so I felt kinda embarrassed, but then I was like... Who the hell cares, right?).

Modeling for her photos is just... Such a wonderful thing. I mean I love being a part of her photoshoots, because it makes me feel... Important, because I help creating my sister a whole new and different world. I'm really proud of her - Zsófi is so damn talented, I'm super impressed when I see the photos she made. Gorgeous. When she shows me the final results I'm like: Oh my God, who is that girl? Is that really me? How amazing is that??!!
I'm sure, she has a rosy and succesful future ahead of her. She's pretty young - only 18,5 years old - so she has time, but I'm so sure she will be famous really soon.

She is creative, and has amazing eyes for seeing if the lights are good or not, she always comes with a lot of new ideas and she doesn't want to make stuff that other people had done before her. She wants something different that nobody had ever created. She wants to show the world how it actually looks like in her eyes.
And Zsófi also has these dark thoughts (even if she's such an adorable, happy, funny and lovely girl), which you can see on her photos. She's also interested in fashion and she's not afraid of trying out new things - that's what makes her unique and individual. She has like this style that nobody can take away from her... I'm just so proud of her and I feel blessed that she's my sister.

Thanks for being so amazing, Zsófi!
I'm really thankful for you.

Kisses,
Babe (Babus)

 I bought this dress for a special occasion - but who says I can't transform it into an everyday-wear? Okay, it's kinda dressy, I know, but by bringing a few non-elegant pieces can dress-down the look and can change the whole style.
I had to give a pop of colour to the outfit, because it was too black - so I added my turquoise statement necklace (Forever 21), a silver cuff (Forever 21), an amazing turquoise purse (Deichmann) - and of course, my nail polish (KIKO) had to match with everything. I cinched in my waistline by adding a tiny black waistbelt (H&M) - just to emphasize the thinnest part of my body.
This maxi dress (H&M) is like my favourite clothing item right now - I love how the long see-through chiffon fabric is covering the bodycon skirt underneath, and it has this 'M' line thing going on, which is kinda popular these days - and I'm really into the sheer chiffon panel at the sleeve-part. I finished it off with my favourite pair of sandals, to make the dress more wearable.
And - of course- we just can't forget about our huge sunglasses.
Hope you liked this look and don't forget about checking my outfit out on lookbok.nu too!

HammerGirl Photoshoot - Roberta



Now that Spring is here (and almost gone), we had the chance to do a photoshoot in the nature - and that's what we planned, because this beautiful lady here likes folk metal so we transformed her into a gorgeous folk-metal-princess.
I asked her what kind of makeup she wanted, and she said she prefers the smokey-eye looks, that's why she got this. :)
I think this makeup brings out her stunning blue eyes, and I just kept the rest of her face simple - little bit of blush, natural lip colour, natural brows - you know, just to keep it as natural as it's possible, because - obviously - you can't go to the park with a tons of heavy makeup on your face, right? It wouldn't be... professional...
I have to say that she did a really great job! Even though I wasn't with them, I can see on the pictures she was pretty good, and looked AMAZING, guys, amazing. Great job, HammerGirl team! Succesful photoshoot. :)

I'm always afraid of wearing my high-waisted, faux leather, studded shorts from H&M, but I thought... Well, why not... So I just paired the shorts with my favourite boots - which actually remind me of Jeffrey Campbell's Lita's (I know, I said that for many times), and this awesome sheer blouse (Stradivarius) with a really lovely floral-pattern on it, and I kinda like that this shirt has a high-low hemline, which is kinda trendy right now (btw, I was such a huge rebel, because I was wearing a white bandeau top under my sheer blouse, because I've never done that before and I thought it looked good, so I tried it out, but seriously... Never gonna do that again in March, because it was soooo freakin' freezy cold outside). And because it's still really cold here in Hungary, I added blacks tights and a warm french coat - I think that they really complete the outfit as well.
I got this amazing ear-cuff from one of my best friends, Mesi - you may know her name from one of my older posts - and she has the same one, so we can be like... ear-cuff twins, I guess... How cool is that?! :D
Anyway, I added some studded jewel pieces - just to make my outfit a little bit more edgier. And of course... We can't forget about our lovely hat from H&M - You might think that I'm trying to steal my dear sister's style... Shame on me...
Last but not least: I finished off the look with a black&gold vintage clutch which I can also wear with its straps to transform it into a cross-body bag, so I just really love that.
And because it's already springtime - even if you can't see it - I painted my nails with a bright yellow nail polish from NYC, in the shade Lexington Yellow.

(my head and my eyes look really puffy and sleepy on these pictures, because I'm really sick...)

You can also find this outfit on lookbook.nu as "Take your memories, I don't need'em" and speeking of this title, my favourite song of the month has to be 'You'll Think Of Me' by the amazing country singer, Keith Urban. I don't know why I mentioned this, I just had to share it with you guys, so you can listen to this amazing song. :D

And thanks for my amazing sister, Sophia (also known as... Zsófia Olga Cselőtei) for helping me - she took these awesome photos and edited them and she was sooo-sooo damn patient with me so I really appreciate her help and the efford she puts into all of our photoshoots. Thank you, sis'!

My story about makeup

My everyday makeup...
Things all started when I was little - I had a weird stuff about Barbie makeup and all these kind of things. I had tons of makeup palettes but I never thought I will work as a makeup artist one day. At the age of 5 I told my dad: "Look, Daddy - when I grow up, I won't be wearing any makeup. Never. Ever." He said my attitude will change very soon - he was right.

In 2009 my sister asked my mom if she can wear mascara for school and she said yes, and then I asked her if I can wear that too and she said: well, you can try out brown mascara if you really want to.
I started watching a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube, but I was like... "Okey, they are fine, but I won't do them, because I don't need makeup..." and I remember fafinettex3's channel was the first beauty channel EVER witch I started to watch.
Sometimes my Mom created a makeup look for me: painted a smokey eye, added glitter liner, a little bit of red lipgloss, but only on birthdays and... Halloween parties...

When I became a 7th grader I started to be more interested in makeup, so I tried out my mom's not really used beauty stuff - lipglosses, eyeliners, eyepowders and I was looking for my old makeup things which I got from magazines. Definetely not a great quality, but I was satisfied with that. I was only wearing makeup on weekends, when I met my friends, but my best friend didn't really like when she saw that I was wearing mascara or something else, so... Sometimes I did that in secret to special occasions. I remember that I started to do my makeup more frequently when 7th grade ended, I used eyeliner and mascara when I was in a camp. But sometimes I was too lazy to put my makeup on and it was also very-very hot and we were like... Sweating all day long, so I decided to.. Stop that! But at the end of summer, when me and my family went to Italy for 2 weeks I asked Mom, if we can buy a liquid eyeliner and a red lipgloss and she allowed us, so I started to learn how to use them and... Seeing those pictures now... I was really silly.

Then 8th grade came, and I started to have serious skin problems and acne. You know, I never really had any acne before, only one or two red spots in a year. But I was exhausted and stressed because as you all know, I had to do my entrance exams and things like that. I started to cover it with concealer and I also bought a few other makeup products like... Eyeliner, small eyeshadow palettes, blush, brushes and mascara... But I only wore them on home-made photoshoots or you know, special occasions like weddings, birthdays and things like that - except concealer, because I had to wear it like... All the time.
I had my skin problems from December to April, for like almost 5 months... And then I decided not to wear concealer anymore because it wasn't helping at all, it came off all the time and I looked like a zombie afterwards... So it was pretty embarrassing and totally awkward, but I remember I never had any red spots on my forehead. Never. Ever.

When spring came I started to wear makeup again... Mascara and eyeliner and my acne had discovered, so I was pretty happy that I didn't need to cover my spots up. I became like a "YouTube beauty guru-fan", because I started to be seriously interested in this beauty-stuff, so... I knew almost everyone of them. I got my first and real-big eyeshadow palette from Claire's after I don't know... My drawing-exam, I think and I started to create a lot of cool and colorful looks, people asked me to do their makeup - my mom, my sister, my friends... (my first makeup post ever).
I got my makeup done by a professional artist for my farewell ceremony, and this was sooo gorgeous, so I decided to be a professional like her one day.
Summertime came along and my family, my best friend and I travelled to Italy for (again) two weeks and... We did our makeup every night. After that I was too lazy to do that and it was really hot again so I was like... I don't care... I don't have skin problems, black heads or anything, I have almost perfect skin, why should I wear makeup?

When I started to attend high school I was only wearing mascara and a little bit of concealer...
And right now...
You can barely see me without any makeup on. Until I went to the hairdresser's to cut my straight bangs I wasn't wearing eyeliner, but later I thought, hmm, it looks good... Bangs and "winged-out" eyeliner...
And I realized concealer is coming off without powder... And my brows look terrible when they are not filled in with a pencil... So I started to wear more and more products, BUT, I was never ever wearing any FOUNDATION. I just... Don't like it. I only have 5 (different shades) foundations for photoshoots and that's all. Sometimes I don't even put on powder, because it's so unhealthy for my skin, but that's why I do a lot of treatments at home... Every morning and every night there's a really long skincare routine which I have to do, but I don't mind, because I don't have any acne anymore. And I'm happy with that.
And I know, people always tell me that I shouldn't be wearing any makeup because I'm too young, I have nice skin, I don't look that ugly without it (haha)... I feel confident in my body, I love how I look like with (not too much, but enough to give me a healthy and fresh glow) and without makeup on , and it also gives me joy when I do this for myself or for anybody else. :) It's kind of an art, you know... And it can really do magic, change your face... Make you a really different and new person...

Right now that spring is slowly approaching I can get rid of my makeup because (I hope) the weather will be warmer soon, I won't need any blush, because my face will be sunkissed hopefully and I'll have a really natural glow and fresh, healthy skin, and the only thing I will be doing is curling my lashes, because I'm planning to go to a beautician to give me a "long-lasting-mascara-dying", so I won't be wearing any mascara. :)
I'm planning going on a makeup-artist-course, because I want to do this as my job, and I want to have a paper about that - that I finally became a professional and this is like a... Qualification. I still have to learn a lot, I still have to improve a lot, but I won't give up, I'll be practising a lot to make my dream come true.
But if everything else fails... I will always be the makeup artist of HammerGirl, and this is totally enough for me. :)
