A close-up on the eyes...
To get ethereal effect, i applied a bright yellow eyeshadow over the lid and up into the crease. They I used the blue in the outer half of the lid, creating the green hue. Then more blue under the eye as a sort of liner but really smudgey.
The full face...
Instead of blush I used a golden apricot highlighting cream all over my cheek bone and temple. The shimmer effect didn't exactly photograph so please doll, use your imagination. On the lips i used a plum lip stain with a berry gloss on top.
Makeup used:
Eyeshadows: Mac Style Warrior eyeshadow in Bright Future and Mac Rose Romance pigment in Mutiny.
Cheeks and lips: benefit's Moon Beam highlighter, Mac Rose Romance Lipstain in Tender Tryst, and Lancome Juicy Tubes jelly in Berry Bold
And then I did this:
Not part of the actual imitation, at all, but I cut about three inches off my hair somewhere in this process.
And...without further ado....
This is how i styled it:
I put a few little braids in what was left of my hair. And I have a really pretty satiny pink dress with asymmetrical ruffles. I couldn't get any good pictures. It was raining, I was my own photographer, and I was sick. So I'm standing in some very overgrown weeds, looking shy and slouchy. But somehow my feet made it all worthwhile...
I love the combination of mint green toes with pink sandals. This is the first time I've ever allowed my feet to be photographed. I guess I'm just exposing all my insecurities on here. I hope I don't get a rash from those weeds.
I need to start doing nicer eyemakeup! Yours is so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteSee, I wish I was confident like you in wearing colored eyeshadow. I usually always wear neutrals for the following reasons:
ReplyDelete-I'm always so rushed to get ready that I need makeup readily available that I'm used to using and goes with everything
-I'm scared to go with anything blue-ish, for fear of being too 80' (and besides, blue doesn't look good with my skin and eye color)
-I'm also scared of going with anything too reddish or pinkish, with the exception of really pale champagne shades
And so forth. I don't know. I just get too concerned that I'll look too coordinated, or too out there. It's different when it's a model appearing on a photoshoot. xD
But I do have some shades that I love aside from my norms: Drama by Bare Escentuals, which is a plummy brown with flecks of gold and it's the only dark eyeshadow I will wear; Pink Sugar by Too Faced, which is a shimmery cotton candy pink, but since it's a cool pink and not a warm pink, it looks fine; a few others I can't think of the name of off-hand.
But yeah. You have your eyeshadow done so well. xD Maybe it's because you have brown eyes and I have green eyes, or something. :P
