Gunk Fury

Here’s a generic foresty look for Halloween! I guess you can be a wood nymph, forest fairy, spirit of Gaea or even a somewhat evil tree.

Tut here!

Two letters: HD. Two words: Wig Fail.

It’s all about the lips.

Hated the movie, ADORED the makeup! It’s about time I did this look!

I blended the crease out a much more than I should have. I didn’t realize that the original was a lot thinner. My bad! Anyway, the rest of the steps should be the same, though a pencil liner or a more precise brush would probably work better for recreating the crease.

It doesn’t take a genius to swipe on some lipstick. The tricky part is getting it to last longer and wear well through food and other… oral activities. You can’t just apply several layers of lipstick- that is an excellent way to get the gunk past your lip line and more attractively, on your teeth- and setting it with powder doesn’t sound like a very good idea, now does it? So what do we do? Shall we just succumb to our patchy-lipped fate?

Ah, but hope is not lost! In today’s tutorial, we learn that the magic word is blot.

Drama sometimes requires some non-waterproof mascara. Personally, I thought Taylor Momsen never looked better than when mascara, eye shadow, and tears were streaming down her face on Gossip Girl.

In hindsight, pictures of me crying (or drunk) would’ve made this post a little bit more interesting but well, spilt milk and all that, right?



A Beerless Look

A look featuring an aqua liner, orange lipstick, and Dash and Paw!

Avail the cheese.

Nars Habanera is unsurprisingly my most favorite eye shadow duo to date. Not only does it have my favorite color combination (green and purple), it’s also an incredibly wearable shade selection. I’ll reserve a full review on the compact for a later date- perhaps swatches and reviews of all the Nars eye shadow duos I have in my collection.

In the meantime, please enjoy this tutorial!

Most of the time, this is what I do with my face! It’s quick, easy to modify, and very customizable.

And yes, I went with another blue to line my eyes with! I do not know why I’m so obsessed with this color right now! Navy and pink are such a good pair though, don’t you think?

Hi, gunkies! This is another cheer-me-up tutorial, for which ya’ll have the heat to thank. My goodness, it is infernal! I can hardly believe I survived almost a week without an air conditioner!

I’m going to call this a Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired look since, truth be told, I didn’t recreate the exact makeup she’s got on. You could use some tape to create the exaggerated angle of her eye makeup, but I didn’t have tape and was too lazy to buy some.

Well, I hope this helps anyway!
