Retro Cherry


This was just a simple look i did when going to a friends house. Pretty basic, just eyeliner, brows and then slightly overdrawn lips. Sort of 40s inspired.
Can't remember what was on my face, which is annoying because i think it was looking particularly good. Typical!
Eyes: Sleek circus palette white (terrible pigmentation, but was just used to highlight my browbone), black eyeliner, black mascara
Eyebrows: middle colour of the brow powders on Jelly Pong Pong's Wakeup Makeup kit
Lips: NYX Round lipstick in Black Cherry

Lips like these look good (to me anyway) when i have a neutral  or slight smile but when i really smile i look bizarre! Check it out:

I think it's because it's not my natural lipline, which makes it a bit clownish looking. Which i don't mind because i like clown makeup, though usually i do more Pierrot inspired looks not whiteface or auguste types.
As you can see i need to re-dye my hair.

Excitingly my air inspired look won second place in MizzWorthy and Illamasqua's Elementals contest :) Thank everyone who commented either on my blog or the contest page with kind words.

Also i just hit 400 followers, which is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much to any new additions reading this :)

Hello Sailor!

This was my outfit when i went out on friday. My friend Joyless John said i looked like i should be going on a blind date with Popeye :P My look was supposed to be a pin-up sailor girl. I really need to wear a girdle or something under the dress, but it's unlined so when i tried it with my girdle you could see it! I need a slip. Anyway that's why i look pretty bulgey :P







Again the picture of my makeup is pretty rubbish X/

I was wearing:

blush:
illamasqua powder blush in Nymph
Mac powder blush in Frankly Scarlet
Mac Dame Edna 'spectacle' highligther

Lips:
Sleek Pout Polish in Pink Cadillac

Eyes:
2 blues from an old 17 Palette
Mac Gesso
Bourjois clubbing liquid liner (cant find name, but it is a blue)
lancome oscillation mascara in black

Also i've put up the miscellaneous items and added some new jewellery and makeup to my previous blog posts, please check them out :)
