Smoke and Pink Diamonds| Makeup Tutorial

Hello!

Happily posting a makeup tutorial after forever... Oops.

Smoky looks aren't normally my thing, but I thought I would try it out today anyway.

Having such a flat eye shape, I think it's particularly a struggle to make neutral, dark, smoky eyeshadow look flattering on me, especially with non matte colors. Surprisingly, I'm pretty happy with the results, though it was definitely something that had to grow on me. I hardly ever like neutral makeup on myself, and I generally have a hard time keeping myself from continuing to add and just leave things looking simple.

To balance out all the shimmer that I used, I kept my lid light and matte, which stops those beautiful, potentially devastatingly shiny eyeshadows from taking away as much dimension as it would otherwise. The shape that I decided to go with also allows me to use a lot of black without it being overwhelming, or consuming the look, but it still has the effect that I wanted from it. If there was one thing I could add to this in post, it would be just a quick dab of silver glitter in the outer corner, of course. 

Night Owls Tutorial

Herro!

So, I may be at a point where I feel like doing my makeup again, as may be apparent from two posts in a relatively short time frame. Especially considering my over a year of blank space. *cough* But anyway! This look was inspired...

Wait for it...

By Donkey Kong!

I was watching Dan and Phil Games play the too-long-a-title Wii U game, and the Mountain Top Tussle boss was an owl, hoo's color palette was freakin' awesome. All the pictures I found on Google didn't quite give me the same feeling as what I felt when I was watching Dan and Phil play, so I'm not going to post a picture because it doesn't accurately show my inspiration. The second or third stage of the battle also had this beautiful background with hot pink and purple that I might use as inspiration one day. I love it when people use color schemes that excite me emotionally. I only wish that I added more glitter right before taking pictures, but at least it's still there in the video. It makes it feel more nocturnal.

Also, I'm still really shit at false lashes... #fail

Peacock Feathers! *Pictures Only*/...OHAI!

Long time no see!

...Like, seriously.

So, I haven't really been blogging, or vlogging, because of my skin, which I'll make a video about soon, hopefully. I've maybe done my makeup a handful of times since the last video I posted. But! ...My skin is a lot better, though the remains of those horrible times are pretty apparent in these pictures, so I think, maybe, I'll start posting more. Things haven't been going too swell recently, which is irrelevant, but what is relevant, is that out of the not-so-swell things, came the feeling to combine the two things that always put me in a good mood: Makeup and my Disney playlist.
