Jellyminx Thinks contest entry no 3 - Garnet

Third and final entry for the birthmonth contest. This time the look is based on my birthstone, Garnet. I wanted to just do quite a basic look, a glamourous, vintage inspired look in metallic red shades.





Wearing:
face:
NYX liquid highlighter
Avon Magix tinted face perfecter in fair
ELF complexion perfection
Mac blush in Frankly Scarlet

Eyes:
Sleek Sunset Pallette
black mascara
mac brow pencil thing in fling

Lips Barry M lip laquer crayon in no. 1

I really like when people have contests, it always gives me great inspiration for more interesting makeup than my 'day to day' looks, or at least makes me get off my arse and do a lot of looks!

Jellyminx Thinks contest entry number 2 - Snowdrop

This time i based my look around one of my birth months flowers, and one of my personal favourites, snowdrops.

It's sort of an updated version of my mistletoe and wine look from before christmas.









You totally can't tell, because i couldn't get a good picture, but on my lips, over the baby pink pencil, the gloss has an amazing green reflect. Boo.

I am wearing:

face:
NYX liquid foundation in LM01 Pale
Avon loose powder
Illamasqua powder blusher in Nymph

Eyes:
white pencil eyeliner (on waterline and eyebrows)
ELF eye transformer (the green section) as a higlight
Hi Fi eyeshadow in Grinch all over lid
Barry M dazzle dust in the crease
white liquid eyeliner
black mascara

Lips:
Baby Pink Barry M lip pencil
Spell Hologlow gloss in Absinthe

Jellyminx Thinks Contest entry - Gloom

Jellyminx Thinks has been holding a contest for people to do a makeup look based on their birthmonth (http://jellyminxthinks.blogspot.com/2010/01/contest-time-contest-number-2.html check out some of the entries, they're really wonderful). I was born in january.

My first look is based around the fact that one day in January (i think its around the 16th) has been judged, somehow, to be the most depressing day of the year. I wanted to make a look based upon this gloominess, i wanted to look a bit gothy and also a bit ill. You can see for yourself that i really didn't execute this too well.





It's obviously not a fashion look and i very much doubt anyway will want to copy the look, but heres what i did anyway (havent bothered to list any of the actual products, if anyone does want to know what something is just ask :)) :
I used my regular foundation all over, then set it with a white translucent powder. I then contoured my cheeks, forehead and sides of nose with a grey eyeshadow (this is sadly not really visible in any of the photos). Then i used grey eyeshadow all over my lids and under my eyes, then a black greasepaint stick, And finally i blocked out my lips with mac lip erase.

So, yes it's certainly not very flattering or attractive, but i think it looks pretty miserable at least!
