Nicki Minaj - Moment 4 Life Inspired Look

 Hi Everyone,

 I really liked the third makeup look Nicki Minaj wore in her music video for Moment 4 Life. In the video I couldn't really see if her crease was defined or how far her liner extended so I added my own twist.

Jessie J - Brit Awards Launch Inspired Look

Hi Everyone,

I took a bit of a break from blogging, I felt like I had lost my mojo a bit and was leaving a long time between each blog post. I do think this break did me some good though, I'm feeling a lot more inspired and already have a few blog posts lined up, so hopefully the gap between each one will be reduced. 

(click to enlarge image - it's big!)

I actually did this look tonight, I was really excited to finally find some high quality images of Jessie J's makeup from the Brit Awards launch party. I've been wanting to do this ever since I saw her performance, so I didn't hesitate to give it a try. She wore black lipstick for the performance, but I cannot pull a black lip off at all so went for the bright matte red lip she sported on the red carpet. I also bronzed up my cheeks unlike Jessie who had a light contour, this was just personal preference as I'm already really pale I like a bit of colour in my cheeks :)

I realised her dotted liner was actually rhinestones in the close up images and interviews from the night, they really looked nice as they reflected the light. I used leftover black swarovski crystals from 'blinging' my phone a while ago... hehe.

Rihanna - Who's That Chick (Day Version) Inspired Makeup

Hi guys!

I generally don't go for really bright colours, but after seeing both versions of Rihanna's video for Who's That Chick I really fell in love with the bright look she's wearing in the day version of the video. I definitely wouldn't go around wearing this - the blush is a bit too crazy for my liking! But it was still fun to re-create. 

I actually did this look yesterday, but was wearing the black wig from my Elphaba look - I'm not sure what posessed me but I really didn't like how the photos turned out - though I did like the eye makeup better so I'll include a photo of that. 

I used an iridescent green shadow for the highlight as in some angles of the music video you can see a definite green cast on the brow bone and slightly above the brow.

Products Used:

Face -

Maybelline - Dream Satin Liquid Foundation  (really been liking this foundation lately)

Boujoir Healthy Mix Concealer

Revlon Skinlights (discontinued - liquid hilighter/bronzer depending on shade) bronze shade applied lightly

Super pink blush - mixed bright pink shades from 120 palette,contoured with a deeper pink mixed with a deep purple.

**I did forget to powder hence the slightly overly-dewy skin

Eyes -

Cut crease - MAC Brun and Copperplate

Lid - matte bright yellow from 120 palette

Lower lashline - lined with black shadow, neon green shadow from 120 palette. 

Benefit Bad Gal Liner - lower lashline 

Eyeko Grafitti Liner - Black

Milani Loose Eyeshadow Powder - 07 Mint Green
2 sets of eBay lashes (sorry no name on them!)
MAC Zoomlash mascara

Lips - 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - Indulgence

Illamasqua Intense Lip Gloss - Indulge

Barry M Lip Liner - #12 Fuchsia

Eye makeup from yesterday's version.

Hope you liked it!

Halloween Makeup: Elphaba (from the musical Wicked)

Let all Oz be agreed, I'm WICKED through and through!

Hi Everyone,

I was going to wait until the beginning of October to start posting Halloween looks but I could wait no longer! I thought I'd start out with Elphaba as I've been listening to the Wicked soundtrack all day (what can I say, I have a serious love of all things Idina Menzel). I think this has to be my favourite look I've ever done!

I thought I'd go for the makeup that's seen more in the second act where she has more of a heavy contoured look. Watching lots of backstage broadway videos on youtube helped a lot! One thing I did change was the lip, it's a green lip on stage however I added a twist with the red lip which is seen on all of the promotional images for the show;

(only image taken with flash - the green makes my eyes look really light!)

How I greenified myself:

For the green skin I mixed Barry M Dazzle Dust in Emerald with 6 pumps of foundation (as I knew I would be covering my neck, chest and tops of shoulders and arms). Though the pigment was sparkly when mixed with the foundation it became matte, a little iridescence was apparent on the skin.

I then set the foundation using mixed matte green shadows from my ebay 120 palette to alter the colour a little (it ran a little blue toned, I wanted more of a warmer deeper green). To add dimension I heavily contoured my cheekbones, nose, jawline and collar bones with black shadow.

For highlighted areas of the face (cheekbones, nose, forhead and chin I applied a bright chartreuse green shadow (120 palette). After all this was done I powdered my face using Milani translucent powder to remove any shimmer.

Products Used for rest of look:

Eyes:

Milani Domino Quad - slightly frosted white shadow for browbone, lid and inner corner.

Ebay 120 palette - matte black for crease and under eye, also used applied wet for brows.

MAC Penultimate Liner - Rapidblack - for winged liner

Benefit Eye Bright - Waterline

Lips:

Barry M Liner in Red

No7 Lipstick in Cherry

MAC Lady Danger lipstick

Black shadow applied with angled brush and blended around edges of mouth.

And that's it! I highly suggest everyone turns themselves green at least one time in their life, it's so strange looking at yourself! ;)

Kat Von D Inspired Makeup

Hi Everyone!

Pixiwoo's latest video completely reminded me of the face chart I drew up and never got round to doing. I love red lips with a strong eye, and I think this look is definitely one of my favourites! Kat likes to play around with colour a lot but I thought I'd go with her more signature look of blacks, greys and taupe browns with a pearlescent shadow on the lid. Kat seems to be going for more toned down makeup at the moment with her bright red hair.

 

I went for a heavier bronzed contour as it's quite prominent in a lot of photographs I've seen of her (and on TV, I'm a total LA Ink addict ;). The stars I individually drew onto paper and cut them out with scissors, coloured them in with a black felt tip pen and stuck them on with Duo lash glue - I knew I would become a little OCD about them if I had to draw them all on. I'm bad enough at stars at it is! I counted 18 stars on that side of Kat's face but I only did 14 because they became a bit tiresome after a while haha. My hair covered a few though, oops!

Products Used:
Face:

-Maybelline Superstay 24H foundation - 10 Porcelain Ivory (I'm loving this at the moment)

-MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base (highlight)

-ELF Blush/Bronzing Duo (bronzer for contour, I contoured my nose with this a little too)

Eyes:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Black Bean (base for outer V)

MAC - Copperplate

MAC - Print

MAC - Brun + a little Sleek black (brows)

Sleek Storm Palette - Matte Black

Milani Domino Quad - lid and brow highlight

MAC - #7 lashes

Lips:

MAC - Lady Danger (of course! hehe)

Kat Von D

Whenever I have to type her name 'Kat Von Delayed' always pops into my head from that episode of LA Ink... but that's just me being weird haha.

Christina Aguilera - Lady Marmalade Inspired Look

Hi Everyone,

So the weekly challenge theme on Makeup Geek is Christina Aguilera inspired, I know I've just done one for Not Myself Tonight but I really wanted to do a Lady Marmalade inspired look - I think it's safe to say I've been in awe of the makeup in this music video for a ridiculous amount of time. I think I'm a sucker for anything to do with Moulin Rouge - I'm one of those annoying people who sings along to all of the songs when you watch it... hehe.

I've come to the conclusion that I love looking at Christina's makeup looks in awe, but hate trying to re-create them, they just don't turn out the way I want them to! I thought I'd post it up anyway seeing as it took about an hour to do :)

Inspired by:

Products Used:

Face:

Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation

ELF Blush/Bronzing Duo bronzer as contour

Milani Loose Translucent Powder

Eyes:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Black Bean
Sleek Graphite Palette - Black (satin finish not totally matte)

Milani white shadow from Domino quad.
Matte red shadow from ebay 120 palette, mixed light pinks used to blend out the red on the cheeks also.

False Lashes (top) from eBay (Seller:Glamlabel) 

L'Oreal Super Liner - Carbon Gloss

Lips:

Revlon Colourstay lipliner - Red

MAC - Lady Danger lipstick
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Black Bean blended around the outer edge.

Rhinestones are assorted sizes of Swarovski crystals left over from bedazzling my phone... haha, I like sparkly things what can I say. I don't have my nose pierced those are rhinestones too in the shape of a flower, attempting to mimic the flower shaped nose ring she wears in the video.

All this talk of Moulin Rouge really makes me want to watch it now!

Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight Inspired Makeup

Hey everyone,

I was unsure whether to post this as it isn't entirely true to the look she's wearing in the video for Not Myself Tonight, so it's very much an interpretation.

The look I was inspired by isn't shown that much in the video, I think you only see it about 3 times?

The main differences are probably with the eyes, in the video Christina doesn't have her waterline lined, just her lower lashline which seems to stop 3/4 along her eye - I lined my waterline and winged out the inner corner slightly. I also made the black cut crease a lot more dramatic. 

Products Used:

Face:

Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation

ELF Blush/Bronzing Duo bronzer as contour

Eyes:

False Lashes top & bottom from eBay (Seller:Glamlabel) 

Lancome Black khol pencil

L'Oreal Super Liner - Carbon Gloss

Lips:

Revlon Colourstay lipliner - Red

MAC - Lady Danger lipstick

The spiky lashes I cut out individually  from black paper and curled using a pair of scissors - you know like how you make ribbon curly when you wrap up presents? That's the best way I can describe it haha. I do advise if you try this be very careful, as they're so long they did cause some irritation. 

I hope you like it despite all the changes!

Beyoncé Inspired Makeup: Why Don't You Love Me

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd do a look based on one of the looks Beyoncé wore during the new 'Why Don't You Love Me' music video, from the scenes where she's drinking and crying whilst on the phone in the bedroom.

For some reason my camera made my lid colour look a lot darker than it appeared, making the cut crease look slightly less contrasted. I really wanted to do the tears, I've seen a few youtube tutorials already for this look but none of them included them - and now I know why they were a nightmare to do! I didn't realise the black pigment I used mixed with fix + was iridescent so it has a green duochrome effect, and didn't keep the wet look effect at all. Oh well you live and learn ;)

If anyone's not familiar with the look this is it:

I always screen cap the makeup in music videos to see the makeup from a couple of different angles.

Products Used:
Face:
Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation - applied with fingers, my MAC 109 has DIED and is shedding everywhere. Not impressed.
MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base
ELF Blush/Bronzing duo - just the bronzer.
Revlon Skinlights Illuminator - the darker golden brown colour used as an all over bronzer, I love this stuff I wish they hadn't discontinued it. I have to buy it on eBay now.
eBay false lashes.

Eyes:
Lid: Sleek Graphite palette - champagne colour + Urban Decay - Half Baked
Highlight: NYX Jumbo Pencil - Milk, Sleek Graphite palette - white.
Cut crease: MAC Brun and Carbon shadows.
Inner corner: NYX Smokey eye palette - off-white colour.
MAC Penultimate Eyeliner - Rapidblack
Lancome black khol liner - sorry the writing has rubbed off
Loreal Super liner - Carbon Black
Brows - MAC Brun

Lips:
Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick - Nicely Nude
Boots Natural Collection lipstick - Apple Blossom
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lipliner - no idea what name, nude brown colour.

Brody Dalle Inspired Makeup

This is going to be one of those looks that you either love or hate – application isn't precise and it's a bit grunge-y to look at, it certainly isn't 'pretty'.

I don't know what it is but I just think the makeup Brody wore for the Drain The Blood video was absolutely beautiful. I'll admit she makes me want to dye my hair back dark again and cut it shorter- I just love the contrast of red lips, porcelain skin and dark hair. I used the makeup she wore in that video as inspiration as well as some other looks she wore whilst in The Distillers.

I wore this makeup when I went out on Sunday night for a couple of drinks and to see a friends band play, and of course re-created it today because silly me didn't snap any photos of it before I dashed out! I didn't blend as much brown shadow under my eye on Sunday however – I drew most of the attention to the upper lid and just had minimal shadow on the lower eye.
Products Used
Face:
Maybelline 24h Superstay foundation – I'm liking this applied with hands, nightmare with brushes.
ELF Blush/Bronzing Duo – bronzer for contour.
ELF Luminance Bronzing powder – highlight

Eyes:
120 pallete – matte brown
Urban Decay Twiced Baked + Half Baked shadow to blend out.
Sleek Graphite palette - matte black + frost white
Urban Decay Zero 24/7 liner

Lips:
Barry M red lipliner
MAC Lady Danger lipstick

Dior Fall 2008 Inspired 1960s Makeup

I believe the extremely talented Pat McGrath did the makeup for this show. God knows how she managed to do all the girls, it took long enough to do mine! There were a lot of 60s-esque eyes using bright colours like bright pink, turquoise and orange but I decided to use Coco Rocha's look as inspiration as I thought the contrast of just the black and white looked lovely.


(click to enlarge)

The colours are a bit off in this picture, as I had 2 lamps in front of me for lighting haha, so it's put a strange orange-y cast on my hair and washed out the eyes a bit. They looked a bit bolder and the white looked more contrasted to my skin.


And of course the inspiration – both images from Google Images.
I desperately wanted to do the huge hair too but it would have been a nightmare to comb out! Maybe some day.

I changed a few things up, mostly being the top lashes as the ones used were enormous and I didn't have any that resembled them. Also, the bottom lash line was drawn in a bit thinner. I didn't carry down the lines towards my nose either. I'd say the look I did was a lot toned down in comparison.

*edit* I've just noticed that the angle of the camera is making my cheekbones look like they're down by my jawline! I can assure you they're not, there's a fair bit of space there haha. I think it's both a combination of the camera angle and me doing such a strong contour so low. Coco Rocha has cheekbones to die for!

Products Used

Face :
-Maybelline 24H Superstay Foundation
No7 Contour powder mixed with a mid-brown shadow
Brows were washed out using a mascara wand loaded with foundation to get the bleached effect. Then drawn in thicker using a lighter mid-tone brown from the eBay 120 palette.

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo Pencil – Milk
Sleek Graphite palette – white and black
Rimmel eyeshadow – matte white
L'oreal Super Liner – Carbon Gloss
3 sets of lashes total – bottom and 2 on top.

Lips:
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner: Risque
Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick – Nude Delight

This was a bit of a weird one for me as I'm so used to lining my waterline!

OFF WITH HER HEAD!

Hi Everyone,
Firstly my apologies for not posting anything for a week and a half, I was just getting over a chest infection when I got a stomach bug, and now my chest infection has returned. So it's not been the best month haha, therefore I haven't worn much makeup at all!

(like always, click to enlarge)

This was a nightmare to photograph! The day I took the pictures it was terribly overcast, so getting bright red to stand out proved quite the task :( However I think I'm happy with the way it turned out.
(And er.. please ignore the fact that I'm wearing a bathrobe over my clothes haha, I didn't think you could see it!)

I got quite a funny e-mail the other day, asking me if I only had one eye - so I thought I'd clear things up - I have 2 eyes! Generally my fringe will fall in front of it OR I just did the makeup look on one eye and covered it so it doesn't look odd. I'll be sure to involve both next time.

Products Used -
Eyes:
Ebay 120 palette - bright matte red
Sleek Graphite Palette - white + matte black
Stargazer holographic cosmetic glitter applied as a glitter eyeliner
Urban Decay 24/7 Liner (black)

Face:
Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation
Heavy contour was a mixture of very dark brown and black shadow. - It's meant to look very harsh and dark, based on how nasty the Queen of Hearts can be at times!
I also brought this contour under the jawline.

Lips:
MAC - Lady Danger lipstick

For the hearts around the eye - I had some leftover giant heart sequins. I just stuck them around the eye area using a tiny bit of Duo lash adhesive, stippled over it using the bright red from the ebay 120 palette + a bit of black for some depth. Then peeled it off to reveal the flesh coloured hearts underneath. I then filled in 3 of the 5 hearts with the white frost shadow from the Sleek Graphite Palette

FOTD - Viva Glam Gaga + Smokey Eye + Tweet Tweet Twitter

(as always, click to enlarge)

Sorry it's a bit yellow, it's been really overcast today and I didn't have any decent lighting, resulting in me using my bedside lamp.

Products used:
Face-
Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation (not liking this much anymore, the honeymoon period is over. I'm thinking Chanel Pro Lumiere next! It's about time I tried out a high end foundation)
No7 Bronzer (contour)
No7 baby pink blush (palette)
NYX Smokey Eye Palette – beige for highlight (I'm in desperate need of a new highlighter)

Eyes-
Sleek Graphite Palette – Matte Black
Urban Decay – YDK (to blend out black, it's a mid-tone metallic brown)
NYX Smokey Eye Palette – white for highlight + inner corner of eye
Black pencil eyeliner (waterline)
False Lashes (eBay)

Lips:
MAC – Viva Glam Gaga (over muted out lips, used foundation to do this)

I'm really liking Viva Glam Gaga, I love pinks like this with brown smokey eyes :)

On a non-makeup related note, I've just heard a song on the radio. I heard quite possibly the most hilarious song line I've ever heard (yet completely inappropriate also):
'Call me Mr Flinstone, I can make your bed rock'
The innocence of one of my childhood TV shows has now been ruined :)

Oh and before I forget I made a twitter account! twitter.com/ladydangerrach. Lady Danger was taken :(

Lady Gaga - Telephone Makeup

This is based on the makeup Lady Gaga wore during the prison scenes of her new video for Telephone. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! So I thought I'd give it a go. Naturally, this was just for fun and I wouldn't actually wear this out... well, I do like the eye makeup... I think it would look good with bright pink lipstick for a night out. But that's just me ;)

One thing that I purposely changed was the brow - Gaga's wings out and flicks up at the end but I personally don't like this on myself.

WIth a lot of her looks I have noticed that she always cuts her crease very high in the inner corner, blended up to the brow, with very winged out eyeliner. I've seen her do this with neutral brown, black and blue shadow to give her that big doe-eyed look.

(click to enlarge image)

After watching the video I sat there for 20 minutes trying to get good screen caps of her makeup, haha, so I thought I'd show you the reference pictures I used:

Products Used:
Face -
Maybelline Dream Creamy foundation + MAC 109 brush.
No7 contour powder (from palette)

Eyes -
L'oreal Super Liner - Carbon Gloss
2 pairs of eBay false lashes (heavy!)
Ebay 120 Palete - dark brown
Barry M dazzle dust - the white one! sorry the number has rubbed off
Sleek palette - black and white
120 eBay palette - dark brown
NYX jumbo eye pencil - milk

Lips -
L'oreal black khol eyeliner
Bourjois Lovely Rouge lipstick - 15 Rouge Best (I think these have been discontinued, its just a deeper red lipstick).

I don't particularly like red lipstick this dark on me, especially with the fabulous black liner ;) It feels very gothic with skin as pale as mine is. It was the eye makeup that did it for me with this look.

Brainwashed By MAC - Peach

Just a quick one!

Today I was looking at the MAC Spring Colour Forecast Collection, and was only really drawn in by colour 2 - coral.
Ripe Peach blush and Ember Glow Lipglass really stood out to me, both being really gorgeous peachy coral shades.
Ever since I've had peach on the brain regarding makeup - nail varnish, lipstick, eyeshadow.
So of course when I applied my makeup today it definitely influenced me, going for bright eyes. It seemed to warm things up with the weather being so icy cold!



There appears to be one tiny speck of glitter in my brow in this picture which is quite confusing as I definitely didn't use anything glittery!

I just used the 120 eBay palette for this, mainly the orange-y peach shades and yellow to blend out. Sleek palette white for highlight + inner corner of eye.

I would have done a full face look but honestly, I only did a spot of shopping today which somehow in my mind = let's be a bit lazy and not bother doing anything too fancy. I opted for just concealer on any blemishes and lip balm.

On a side note, I don't know if it's my imagination but to me the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer really smells like apricots! Has anyone else noticed this?

Pin Up Look

Hi everyone,
Last night I went to see Lady Gaga, and I thought I'd show you how I did my makeup.
This is my usual go-to look for going out in the evening, though I usually wear some black eyeliner in my waterline.
However, I think leaving this step out leaves you with a lovely doe-eyed look.

1960s Edie Sedgwick Inspired Eye

Hi everyone,
My new camera arrived today (yay!) so I thought I'd have a little play around.
I'm currently re-reading Edie: An American Biography, and felt like doing some 60s inspired makeup.



Please excuse the image of just the eye - I was supposed to be having a 'makeup free' day today, so I only did the look on one eye, leaving the rest of my face bare.

I'd really like to re-do this in the future as a full face look - inspired by Lisa Eldridge's latest youtube video: a modern 60s look with bright peach lips and blush.


Edie Sedgwick.
Picture from Google Images.

I'll be posting some more looks shortly! Ones that feature more than just my eye.
I jotted down a few I'd like to do yesterday and ended up writing down 15 different looks, so they should keep me busy for a while!

Products Used:

• Rimmel Recover Concealer
  
• Sleek Graphite Palette : Black and White
• Ebay 120 Palette: Dark brown (brows)

Electric Blue Eyes, Hot Pink Lips

(click the image for a closer look)

The Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol II was something I was severely lusting after around Christmas, and I luckily received it as a gift. The colours in it are wonderful. However, like all my Urban Decay pallets I seem to have neglected the more vibrant colours in favor for the more neutral and 'safe colours' (smokey eye favourites:Perversion, Gunmetal. More neutral browns/beige: Sellout, Twice Baked, YDK and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again). Whereas I avoid the purples, blues, greens and pinks!

I've been ill this week and was going out today so I thought I'd brighten things up today. When going all out on the eyes a neutral lip is usually the go-to solution, but I thought I'd whip out my Barry M lip paint in 62- retina-searing pink that's borderline neon.

Products Used

Eyes:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Black bean
• Urban Decay Shadow - Jinx (lid + slightly in the crease)
• Urban Decay Shadow - Sellout (blend out the crease)
• Rimmel Shadow - Matte White (highlight)
  
• Urban Decay 24/7 liner - Zero
  
• Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara
  
• eBay false lashes
  

Lips:

• Barry M Lip Paint - 62 - Vibrant Pink
  
• Barry M lipgloss wand - 5 - Bubblegum Pink

Face:

• Rimmel Recover Concealer
• Maxfactor Second Skin Foundation
• No 7 @ Boots Bronzer
• No 7 @ Boots blush - (from an older palette, baby pink colour)

I love how Jinx (vibrant deep blue) came out over the base of NYX jumbo pencil in black bean - it really gave the colour some depth, creating more of a smokey look and really bringing out the metallic effect the shadow has.

Thanks for reading!

Lady Gaga Makeup Look

Ok, I must admit that I check www.gagadaily.com at least once a day. I adore Gaga's
style and her makeup is always fabulous. This is one of my favourite photoshoots that I believe was for 944 magazine.
As my Gaga tickets came in the post yesterday I thought it would be the perfect time to give it a go!



This was so fun to do! I always love a cut crease look. I'd definitely go out in this, but I'm not too sure if my friends would be willing to haha. Sadly it was a bit of a nightmare to photograph, my camera is dying so that was the only picture properly in focus :( Also, those lashes were super dramatic in reality! My camera hates to photograph lashes.



Products Used:


Please excuse how dirty everything looks, this was taken just after I'd finished the look and I hadn't gotten around to cleaning it yet!

• Maxfactor Second Skin Foundation
• Rimmel mineral foundation (used to set liquid)
• Ebay 120 palette (mixed pinks for blush + brown for brows)
  
• Sleek Graphite palette (black for crease, white for lid and highlight)
