Now because I hardly ever do anything normal, I decided NOT to do a green smoky eye and a clover on my cheek for St-Paddy's day.
Granted, I didn't leave the house looking like this, but that's beside the point.
So Illamasqua, an extremely expensive (sniffle sniffle) UK makeup company, recently launched a new collection called
Human Fundamentalism. Now upon closer inspection of their website, you will find crazy makeup; the kind of thing that makes an obsessed little girl like me drool.
Anyway, here is their promo pic...
I know!!! Awesome, right?!
Well here is my attempt at re-creating this look, minus the
blue wig and falsies. Instead, I mixed a whole bunch of different blue and green creamy products I had and brushed through my lashes with them using a clean spoolie.
Pardon the sloppy photos, my house was very dark. CLICK TO ENLARGE!
And how, you ask, did I make my
eyebrows WHITE?!
The
glue-stick method, my friend. I glopped on as much glue as I could, smoothed it out, and applied a ton of concealer over it. Then I powdered it. THEN I applied white eyeliner and eyeshadow in this here eyebrow shape.
As for the
turquoise lips, I mixed a very intense teal pigment with a chunk of white eyeliner and a blob of clear lip gloss to make an intense blue lip colour.
In the photo, the model has some very heavy
contouring going on. I just took some bronzer and etched it around my nose, following the bone that goes to my (natural) eyebrow. Then I blended it down toward the sides of my nose. I also added a bit under my nose for some more shape. I applied it generously to my cheeks close to my nose and brought it up into my temples. I dabbed some light gold shimmer down the center of my nose and on top of my cheekbones.
For the
white eyeliner, I used a white pencil and dabbed white eyeshadow over it in a strong cat-eye shape. I did the same for the
white mole.
The
eyeshadow is fairly basic. Just a cream colour on the lid and inner corner, and medium taupe grey in the crease and a teensy bit of black and dark grey etched in the deep crease. I used dark grey under my lower lashes and flicked it out at the ends.
