Make-Up
Concepts: Vanessa, Sakura, Bird of Paradise
Jan 15th
Well I’ve been playing around in Photoshop again. I came up with a few somewhat different/quirky makeup concepts. I’d have to be pretty inspired to try these out on a work-day.. maybe just the colors without the elements drawn in.
In any case, here’s what I came up with!
Bird of Paradise
Inspired from Planet Earth, a tribute to the animal that made me giggle the most. I don’t have this color yet (the blueish-green) but hopefully I’ll be able to find something to be able to try it out. Might be difficult to apply it over the black, but we’ll see.
Sakura – The Cherry Blossom
I’ve always been a fan of Japanese culture and imagery, and the cherry blossom tree is pretty popular. Also an excuse for me to use more black and pink. :) I would say they’re my favorite colors to use for makeup.
Vanessa – The Butterfly
Sounds a little conceited to name one after myself so early on. But I really wanted to take something and make it mine. So, since my name is also used to classify certain species of butterflies, I decided to base my concept of them. I got to use orange, gold, and a purplish blue in this one, as well as black and white liner. I love these colors together, I may try this one without the spots tomorrow. The shading on the browbone may be a little difficult though.
“Stargazer Lily” Look
Jan 6th
Here is how my Stargazer concept turned out. The colors are a little more dull since I did it in the morning and the photos were taken in the evening, but it turned out almost exactly the same as my concept art.
Concept: Stargazer Lily
Jan 5th
A make-up idea I had while looking at my favorite flower.
I envision two shades of pink: light for the above the crease and a deeper pink-red for the outer crease, along with a sparkling of small dots inspired from the flower. White for the lid, and two eyeliners. A lime green that symbolizes the stem, and a black liquid liner. I have nothing for the lower lashlines, however, I could see the green being moved to this area along with a black waterline.
I might try this one out tomorrow to go with my lily-pattern shirt. Will post pics if it comes out as good as I hope! I may look at getting a larger picture to use as concept art.

I swear they’re not fake!

After seeing so many extreme looks on the internet, I decided to take a chance and try out some fake eyelashes. The ones I snagged from the store were actually Halloween lashes (you can check them out at http://frightnightcosmetics.com/).
