Upside-Down

  Hullo everyone.
A while ago my video collab The Makeup Heroes decided to do a look based on Makeupgeektv's Upside-Down Smokey Eye look.

I took about a million years to do mine because I suck but finally got everything finished yesterday. 
I decided to do two different looks and make my first video tutorials at the same time. You can see them on my youtube channel here.

Firstly I did a pretty straight recreation of the look, just using more sparkly makeup. I thought it looked quite pretty but I am pretty awful at smoking out shadows so it's most certainly not perfect :P

   

 


Wearing:
Face: Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 02, ELF Studio blush and bronzer duo, Illamasqua Under-Eye Concealer in 115 (I think it's a tiny tiny bit too pale for me :( )
Eyes: Illamasqua Precision Ink eyeliner in Glister, Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Static, Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Sophie, Barry M Glitter Dust in 23 , Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Quantum, Benefit They're Real Mascara.
Lips: Evil Shades Deviant Lipstick in Silk stockings  

Then I decided to do a slightly more Avant-Garde version of the look, inspired by the Illamasqua Theatre of the Nameless Collection.



 

Wearing:
Face: Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 02.
Eyes: MUA Matt Eyeshadow in 16, Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow in Tako, Illamasqua Medium Eye Pencil in Sophie, Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss, Benefit They're Real mascara.
Eyebrows: Sugarpill Bulletproof pressed shadow.
Lips: Illamasqua Lipstick in Kontrol

I'll be a bit busy this weekend as tomorrow and Monday we are having some Halloween get-togethers. The winner of my giveaway will be announced on tuesday or wednesday next week (when I have enough time to put together the excel spreadsheet) sorry for the delay!

  8. I am not a fan of the upside down smokey eye. It just looks messy and accidental to me. I absolutely adore the second look though! It's probably the precision of your liner that makes it clear it is deliberate and dramatic. Also that lipstick, wow!

  12. I like the blue glittery bits in the shadows of the first look, and holy tits that lipstick is beautiful. Your liner in the second look is impeccable; the dark liner and brows makes me think of Pierrot for some reason.
