Fairytale Series: Evil Queen

Hey there, Miss. Slacker here! This may or may not be the last look in my fairytale series, but if is the last one at least I love the look! I tried to keep these from being too Disney inspired but a little might've slipped in this one, lol. Honestly I got more inspiration from Regina's makeup on Once Upon a Time. But that aside from that I wanted this makeup to be a bit contradictory: dark but still colorful, sudden but not stark, and only a little bit sinister. ;D Let's go see!

First I placed an eye shadow primer to my eyelids, face, and put on some lip balm. You want everything primed before you start. Then I applied a white cream base to my eyelids.  Then starting in the center and moving towards the outside I patted a matte red eyeshadow onto the lid. With a bright matte purple I did the same thing on the outer side of my eyelids.  I blended this shades together in the middle little bit but this doesn't have to be pretty this needs to just the right pigmented base for the rest the eyeshadow to go on top of. Over those two colors (leaving the outside of both clean) I patted a deep shimmering magenta with a blue shift. Then moving in from the right onto the white lid space that's left I put a little bit of a cranberry color. Then the fluffy brush and went in with a mauve eyeshadow as a transition color all around the area where my crease color will be. Then with the same matte purple as before I started to slowly deepen the crease, blending out the edges into a cat eye shape. Once the purple was blended I went with a matte black closer to my natural crease and pulled it through the socket. After that I took a skin toned color and a fluffy brush and cleaned up my brow bone. Careful not to blend too much away though, you don't want the mauve to disappear. Then with a black pencil liner I lined the entirety of my water line. I took a bit of the pencil liner on the outer corner of my lower lash line line and blended it out a little. Then with a little more of the purple I blended it up into the eyeshadow a little more. Then I took a black gel eyeliner I made a tapered line from thick to barely there across my lids. I didn't want to leave my inner corner highlight just plain white, so I patted a opalescent shimmer over it, which give a really 'glowy' effect. Then I did my brows and applied black mascara.

For my face I started out with a luxurious amount of full coverage foundation. Because evil queens don't mess around when it comes to coverage.  After that I concealed under my eyes and lightly dusted there and my t zone to  make sure everything set.  With a taupe contouring powder I went under my cheekbones, a more lightly on my temples, jaw and nose. Then with a deep fuchsia blush on a fan brush I lightly applied it on my cheek bones. The had shimmer in it, so I skipped highlighter. I didn't want this look to be very shimmery. 

For my lips I applied a blue toned red lip liner under a berry-purple lip stain balm.

Fairytale Series: The Little Mermaid

Hey there! Don't think I forgot about my fairytale series! Today I have my next look which is based on the little mermaid. Again I didn't want this series to be Disney inspired, especially because Sephora just released their little mermaid collection. The last couple looks have been a little more wearable so this one I wanted to go a bit more over the top and crazy with this one.

After applying primer I put the white base in the shape that I want the eye make up, which is a bit of a cat eye. Then with a flat brush I patted a light blue eyeshadow on the majority of my eyelid. After that I put a teal color on the outside of my eyelid. Then with a dark blue I filled in the rest of the cat eye and along my socket. In my inner corners I used a seafoam green color to brighten it up. Then with black gel eyeliner I made a wing to match the eyeshadow. I also added so white to my inner rims, and applied mascara to my upper and lower lashes. Then I did my brows normally.

After that I started to work on my face makeup. I mixed a full coverage foundation with a tinted moisturizer to create a natural looking finish with quite a bit of coverage. Then I used a concealer to hide dark circles and any blemishes. Then using a taupe contour powder I contoured my face a bit, under the cheekbones, temples, jaw, nose the whole shabang- but pretty lightly. Then I put on a shimmering liquid highlighter, to add a sort of watery quality. Then I put on a bit of a neutral blush, just so my face wouldn't be too stark.

My forehead stuff is totally optional, I just wanted to do something fun and artsy. On a big fluffy blush I took the same light blue eyeshadow I used before, and lightly dusted it along my forehead and temples. I made a bit of a gradient, darker at the top light as you go down. Then with a pencil brush I started drawing little wavey lines that sort of mimic water. In some places I blended some white in, to add dimension. Then I drew on the little bubbles closer to my eyes and temples, and then added dots of white sling my forehead.

For my lips I mixed together some liquid lipsticks to create a bright pastel lavender. For some shine I added a lavender lip gloss in the center of my lips.

Fairytale Series: The Big Bad Wolf

Who's afraid of the bug bad wolf? Today I have the next look in my fairytale makeup series! I didn't just want to do hero's, and frankly Little Red's makeup is sort normal: Pale, flushed cheeks, doe eyes. Sort of a less elaborate version of my Hansel and Gretel look. I actually really like how the eyes turned out this look, it made them super big and dramatic looking with out being too dark or harsh. But that aside, lets get started on the tutorial!

            

 So I started out with my face makeup. To make a even base to start off on a used a little bit of a full coverage foundation and buffed it all over my face. Then to make my skin a little darker (my body is darker then my body right now) I dusted a light brozer over the edges of my face. Then with a darker bronzer I contoured my cheeks, temples, and along the sides of my nose.

I first primed my eye area. Then with brow cream and a small angled brush I filled and shaped my brows normally. After that I started to to draw small strokes up and outward, I slowly brought them further up until they were where I wanted them. After that I added a second layer with a darker color, and then made small hair like strokes to make it more realistic looking.

Moving on the eyes I started by patting a light brown over my eyelids. Then with the same brown I started making a a elongated V deepening my crease. Then I blended a medium dark brown into the V and crease. With a dark red brown I smudged along my upper and lower lash lines for a smokey effect.  Then with a small brush I added an inner corner highlight to brighten up a bit. To blend out the colors a bit more naturally I used a medium nude pink on a fluffy brush of the V. And finally to finish it off I added some black gel liner to the outer half of my upper lash line and added a lot of mascara for fullness.

On my lips I used a neutral pinky brown shade to balance things out.

Fairytale Series: Princess and the Frog

So today I have the second installment in the my fairytale series. Todays look is a little more understated then the last, they'll probably vary in how wearable they are. For this I wanted to focus on a lilly pad motif, and greens and purples. More of the feel of the story than a direct interpretation.

After doing my foundation and concealer (run of the mill, nothing fancy) I put a eyeshadow primer all over my eye area. Then I took a white cream base and patted it on my my eyelid. Then I took a mint green and applied it over the white base. With a medium blue green shade on a pencil brush I ran it through my socket and then went out and made a curved V for the shape of my eyeshadow. Then I blended the green down to fill in my inter crease. From the outer corner I went down angle that matched the top and then pulled in, and blended it into the the outer third under my eye. Then I blended a purple into the center of my lower lash line. Then with black gel eyeliner and an angled brush, I made a small curved wing. Then I gave my upper and lower lashes a good coat of black mascara. Then I filled in my eyebrows normally.

For my blush I blended a plum gel blush into the apple of my cheeks, then powdered over it a little so it wasn't as intense. Then I applied a lavender lipstick to finish off the look.

Fairytales: Hansel and Gretel Look

So darlings I'm starting a new series! I'm very excited because I haven't done one since Halloween and this one will be a bit longer. The theme is fairytales, and I've selected a few of my favorites! I don't want to draw on disney too much, but stick to classic motifs in the fairytales. So to start things off I did this sugary sweet look inspired by Hansel and Gretel.

 

So I started out with my face makeup. I used a medium coverage foundation, maybe half a shade lighter than my skin tone, and buffed it till it blended in completely. Then I patted a full coverage concealer under my eyes with my index finger, then on any blemishes. Then I took a nude highlighter and applied it to my cheekbones for a subtle youthful glow. Then on to blush, this look is very blush-y. I used three colors, first a warm pink dusted lightly in my general cheek area, and up to my temples a bit. Second I took a bright cool pink and focused it just under my cheekbones. Finally I took the slightest bit of a dark fuchsia and blended it in just below the apples of my cheeks, after that I took a clean kabuki brush and blended the three colors together a bit more. 

Moving on the the eyes, I started by applying eyeshadow primer all over my eye area (shocking I know!),  then I applied a pink cream eyeshadow to my lids only. Around my lids I applied a even layer of white base with an eyeshadow pencil, completely through the socket and on to the brow bone a bit. It'll look silly but this is the base to pretty things to come! Over top the pink cream base I patted a light peachy pink eyeshadow. Then I pack a bright pink eyeshadow on a flat brush and patted it over the white base, making sure to keep the shape rounded. Around the edges I added a little bit of dark pink, and then down blended with a skin tone color to soften the edges a bit.

Then I applied an even line of black gel eyeliner with an angled brush, no wing at all just along the natural lash line. I gave my lashes a quick coat of black mascara, and the applied some long fluttery false lashes for a doe eye effect.
For the candy I started by making circles of varying sizes with the same white base from before. Then I patted a matte white eyeshadow on top on them. I then took pink eyeshadow on a very small brush and made the swirl and candy pieces.
For lips I used a tinted lip balm in a soft pink and patted a little white in the center for a fuller look.
