Candy Goth(ish) look

A few months ago I went out dancing with my friend Xenia, I decided to do a sort of punk/80s gothish look. Just because. I think I looked rather nice!

  


 

I can't really remember everything I was wearing. I suspect it was something like this:
Face: Illamasqua Skin Base 02, ELF Studio HD powder, hot pink blush (maybe Stargazer eyeshadow orSugarpill Dollipop)
Eyes: Stargazer florescent eyeshadow in Rose Pink, Sugarpill magentrix, Illamasqua pure pigment in Static, black mascara and liquid liner. Sugarpill Bulletproof on the brows.
Lips: colour from a kryolan lip palette

I need to do more interesting looks like this, I've gotten stuck in a rut of pin-up-ish eyes and bright lipstick.

 Lots of very funny faces under the cut!

Bubblegarm Sigma Competition - Cool and Teal 2

I really like the aqua brushes so I thought I'd do a second look to try and win them :P This time I decided to be 'cool' by doing something very simple and unfussy but again with a twist with the coloured mascars and the 2 different lips.

Here we have matching aqua lips:


But then I also wanted to do a more 'normal' lip colour, so this is a pink with a teal flash. The eye makeup looks green here for some reason. The other pictures are pretty accurate for colour.




Wearing:
Face: Nyx liquid makeup in LM01 Pale  mixed with Gosh Exceptional Wear in 11 Porcelain, Screen Face white loose powder, Sleek blush in Flamingo
 Eyes: Collection 2000 Glam Crystals eyeliner in Le Freak, Miners mascara in Tantalising Turquoise
Lips: Illamasqua Intense lip gloss in Gender or Nars Funny Face lipstick with Estee Lauder pure color gloss in  310 Clear flash

Bubblegarm Sigma Competition - Teal and Cool 1

Again another entry for Bubblegarms contest. This is for the aqua blue brush set called 'Make me Cool'. Now cool has 2 meanings of course, but I didn't want to go for the one meaning 'cold' because I've already done that with the Illamasqua competition trying to look like 'Ice' and I couldn't really think of any ideas that wouldn't just be a rehash with slight differences. So I went for cool meaning trendy. Which was really difficult because I have absolutely no idea what's cool. I don't think I've ever been cool in  my entire life!
But still this is what I came up with:




So as you can see it's a smokey eye but using a bright teal colour instead of dark. I am not the best at smokey looks but i thought this turned out quite pretty :) Anyway smokey eyes seem quite cool to me, they're basically always in style and a bit punky. I smudged black pencil all over my eye then patted aqua shadow over the top. I also purposefully smudged my mascara together. The lipgloss is clear but with a slight blue sheen. Then I thought I'd add some smokey blue lips too.
