Claire wanted me to do her makeup. Oh boy was it stressful! I don't think i've ever done someone elses makeup before and i am not very good at it! Though she didn't help, she kept having laughing fits and thrashing around. I originally was going to do a semi complicated eye look but after nearly having a nervous breakdown i wiped it off and went for something much more simple.
Claire wanted a regal look to go with her new crown:
Claire wanted a regal look to go with her new crown:
The ferret princess is better than the unicorn queen, that bizyotch don't even have no proper crown!
Claire is wearing:
Face: UD surreal skin cream foundation in Illusion, avon face powder, Illamasqua powder blusher in Sin
Eyes: BFTE Lace (on browbone and inner corner) and Sugarpill Goldilux Chromalust on lid, black mascara
Lips: NYX round lipstick in Black Cherry
Anyway even though it was stressful Claire really loved it, she said she felt beautiful afterwards so i will do it again and who knows, maybe i will get better!
However, occaisionally (presumably because i do lots of over the top 'out there' looks quite well on myself) people say i should be a makeup artist. Umm... no! It was so, so difficult to even achieve this look! :P

I then did my makeup in the design i had originally been trying for with Claire before i had to resort to a very simple one colour plus highlight eye look.
Face: UD surreal skin cream foundation in Illusion, avon face powder, Illamasqua powder blusher in Sin
Eyes: BFTE Lace (on browbone and inner corner), Sugarpill Goldilux Chromalust used very sheerly over Lace and used wet as liner on upper lid line and on waterliner, Royal Sugar on lid, black mascara
Lips: Well i thought i used the same lipstick as on Claire but it looks different :/
In other news there are too many great things I want to buy at the moment :( For the first time in ages actually want some Mac stuff (Dare to Wear lipglasses), Models Own are having an amazing 50% off sale, Illamasqua are coming out with their new collection (anyone know if the bloggers event is happening? I got an email saying it might be in August but nothing since then so i assume it's not happening anymore), Cherry culture are having their 20% off sale etc etc
But i am going on holiday soon and also owe my mum money so i can't afford to get anything and this makes me very sad.
I love both the looks you did girl! gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteIt's true, doing makeup on other people is so much harder! Because you know how to draw that line on your face, but when you have to draw the same line on somebody else ... it get's all messy and it just doesn't look/feel right.
ReplyDeleteBut still you did a good job on her :)
And I love the blue/gold combo on you!
I always find doing makeup on other people so much easier! Probably since I can't see when I'm doing it on myself!
ReplyDeleteBoth looks are stunning! And i love the crown.
ReplyDeleteLOL I think doing someone else's makeup is easy depending on their features...but that's probably because everyone in high school had me do their makeup and I got used to it.
ReplyDeleteI love both looks, you're talented!
Oh em geee that gold and blue look is amazing! But I do love the simple look on Claire as well.
ReplyDeleteAlso:
"The ferret princess is better than the unicorn queen, that bizyotch don't even have no proper crown!"
I snorted really loud in the office when I read that and tea came out my nose! ;DD
Wow, Claire looks so lovely! Great job! You look gorgeous too. I understand what you mean about doing make up on others... I used to do the guys' make up in plays and musicals in high school, which is so completely different than real make up. And just yesterday my brother's wife asked me to do her make up for her wedding party, and I"m like, "Uhhhh, no?!"
ReplyDeleteI giggled like crazy at the ferret princess/unicorn queen comment.
These are both beautiful and that royal blue you're wearing is absolutely amazing. I wish I could pull it off - but I kind of want it just because you're wearing it so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteBoth looks are stunning! Really! I love the blue on yours!
ReplyDeleteYou 2 girls are so beautiful! :)
Wow, both of you look great! It definitely is so much harder to put makeup on other people, especially if they have a very different eye shape or skin tone to you.
ReplyDeleteThe gold as liner is so beautiful especially against the blue! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job on both of you, though how hard is it to make 2 beautiful women look smashing?
ReplyDeleteI want a crown too!
Claire's little mouche is perfect :D Putting makeup on other people is a lot of trial and error, but I think that since you're already an artist, you have an edge over most. Not to mention that you seem to have a perfectly willing test subject! The Goldilux looks lovely on both of you, and I think that the "mess-up" turned out great since you wound up showing how Goldilux can look as a main color and as a liner.
ReplyDeleteI love the gold liner with the blue lid colour, it looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The crown kicks major ass too lol
ReplyDeleteI agree with KittenMittens... PREEEETY... and I have a "heart on" for that crown! *giggle gigglee* *_*
ReplyDeleteI really love both looks you did! Beautiful! I know what you mean about getting nervous doing someone else's makeup. When I've had people show up at my place to hang out, and then spring it on me that they wanted me to do their makeup (i.e. without deciding beforehand and me agreeing that I'd do their makeup or give them a lesson), it throws me off guard, makes me nervous and stresses me out.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Claire get that crown? I SO want one!
ReplyDeleteDoing make up is so much harder on other people. I used to work on make up counters, and I trained to do make up on other people, and it was really tricky! Practice makes perfect though, and I think it looks perfect anyway :-D
You both look so lovely! I love the gold liner paired with the blue shadow. Very nice! Love the red lips on you!
ReplyDeleteThe ferret is so cute too.
CROWN! SO AWESOME. Her make-up is perfect and totally fit for royalty. I love the purple and gold eyes, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou both look like you belong in alice in wonderland :) x
ReplyDeleteMust. Have. Goldilux! And Claire's crown is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThe look you did on her is so pretty, and Golidlux looks EPIC wetlined over that blue :O
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, her crown is amazing. :D
Gorgeous!!! love the crown =) Very Alice in Wonderland indeed!
