Tutorial: Rainbow Liner

HI! Long time no see, real life things, blablabla.

I got new makeup and some new brushes. I played with them and took pictures of it. Let me show you!


WARNING! Very photo heavy post ahead.

After the shower I cleaned my skin with the Garnier Micellaire Water. I then applied the Kruidvat Skin Science Beauty Elixir Serum, the Skin Science Eye Gel, the Neutral Face Cream and the Garnier BB Eye Cream Roller ball and moisturized my lips with my EOS Honeysuckle Honeydew lipbalm.

I perfected my base with a light layer of the Catrice Matt Plus foundation in 010 Light Beige and the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15, all blended in with  a damp BeautyBlender. I set everywhere I applied concealer with the Catrice Nude Illusion Loose Powder in Transparent Matt, again with my damp BeautyBlender.

Using a Zoeva Brow Line Brush I defined my entire brow with Urban Decays Buck eyeshadow, going for a very soft front. I defined the tail of my brow with Urban Decays Faint. Then I used NYX Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk in the inner corner of my eye and under my brow. Across my lid I applied Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil in Almond Cream for evening out the colour of my lid.

Mixed on a large shadow brush (from Sigma) I applied Urban Decay Foxy and Walk of Shame across my entire lid, from lashline to browbone. Using a Zoeva Luxe Soft Definer btush I used Naked 2 across my entire crease, for some soft definition. Seeing as the rest of this look is going to be a bit... Bright, I want to keep the lid clean looking.

Are you ready to look nuts with me? Let's do it!

Nothing to do but pulling a silly face when you're looking like this. To make sure my eyeliner ends up being nice and crisp I applied tape to the outer corners of my eyes, following my lower lashline. Imagine that line continues, follow that with the tape and your liner or eyeshadow will look crisp as a winter morning!

Using the NYX Milk pencil from earlier and an angled liner brush, I applied the white cream shadow in a fairly bold cat-wing across my eye. The white base will ensure that our bright shadows will look even brighter. You might notice that mine looks a bit weird, but I have hooded lids and I need to make the wing of my liner fairly wide to have to look somewhat decent when I open my eyes.

With a Zoeva Wing Liner Brush I applied Cricket from the Sleek Ultra Matte Bright palette on the inner part of my lower lashline. To avoid excess fall out, dab the brush onto your lid instead of wiping it. I then applied Dragon Fly from the same palette in the same manner, blending them together and then continuing the line onwards.

Using the bright blue Bolt from the Sleek palette, I fade the green into blue and then move on to my large Boozyshop GIANT palette with every single colour, ever. I use a deep royal blue and fade the bright blue into the deep. Still using dabbing motions, I add a bright purple to the mix, at the very end of the wing of my cat-eye. Once done with the purple, remove the tape and TADAAAAH, a beautiful crisp line. Add NYX Milk to the lower lash-line and let's move on.

Going back to my trusty Sleek Ultra Matte Bright palette, using a Zoeva Luxe Pencil Brush and the colour Bamm! I apply it to the inner part of the lashline. Then from the same palette and with the same brush, I take Strike and make sure I blend the two together.

Staying with the same pencil brush and palette, I take the bright pink Sugarlite and blend it into the orange and almost to to the outer corner of my eye. I then finish off the lower lash line with a warm red from my Boozy palette.

I finished off the eyes by tightlining with  the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Black, curling my lashes with my Tweezerman lash curlers and applying a few layers of the Maybelline Colossal Waterproof Mascara.

I contoured my cheekbones using NYX Blush in Taupe and warmed up my skin using The Body Shop Bronzer in 02. For Blush I applied Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. ( SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS BLUSH! URGH!) And I lightly powdered the rest of my face with the Catrice Nude Illusion Powder.

To keep it light and neutral... HAHAHAHA! Who are we kidding? We got off that train a while ago. To compliment the bright eyes, I went with a beautiful bright lip.The lipstick is Milani Moisture Matte in the colour Matte Orchid. It's a lovely matte formula, that feels like nothing on the lips but has amazing wear and pigment.

And some full face shots of the finished look! This is (for me) not a day to day look, but I would definitely wear this to a day festival or something of that sort.

Tutorial: Realistic Jessica Rabbit for Halloween

GASP! It's another Halloween post, what is this?! I guess I got a little into it. Let's jump right in!

For a perfect base I applied two layers of foundation, I mixed my Facefinity in Light Ivory and my All Matt Plus in Light Beige. Jessica being a cartoon AND a performer, you kind of need to go all out with your base. I concealed my face using Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 10 and concealed/highlighted under my eyes using Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer in 01. It's a lot, I know. But she's a performer and needs to have her face beat to perfection at all times. I blended in all my cream/liquid products using a Real Techniques Mirace Complexion Sponge. I also set everything with my translucent powder, using the sponge. When performing on stage, you need that face to stay matte!

Jessica, as seen in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, has a very high, rounded brow, with a very 20's feel to it. I opted for a bit more of a realistic look and just went with my natural shape. I filled them in with Naked 2 from the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette and set them with a tinted brow gel.

I primed my eyes using Too Faced Shadow Insurance and then to help add dimension to the eyelook I highlighted the inner corner of my eyes using NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in milk and on the lid itself I blended Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Riot. It looks messy, but that's fine as it's just a base for the rest. It won't show, promise!

If you are familiar with the work of Mrs. Rabbit, you will know that she loves her some purple eyeshadow and I felt that this bright, metallic lavender shade from the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette was spot on. It has the shimmer that will look amazing in the spotlight on stage and I just think it's a pretty colour. I applied the colour Betrayal all over my mobile lid with a flat paddle-shaped brush.

I blended out my crease using this purple-mauve shade from my big Boozy Cosmetics p117 palette and a large, fluffy blending brush. It just helps create some dimension and give a little more smooth transition. You could leave the eyeshadow here, but we all know I am not going to.

With a pencil brush and the colour Voodoo from the Vice 2 palette I intensified the outer corner of the eye and the lower lashline. This colour is a bit tricky, beware of fall-out, I know I had a lot. But it's so pretty and sparkly, which again is something that looks great on stage.

I highlighted my inner corners with this light, shimmery lavender shade from my MUA Pretty Pastels palette, it seemed appropriate for the look.

Now this eyeshadow is obviously not EXACTLY as Jessica has it in the movie, but it's my take on how it would look in reality.

I lined my upper lashline and my waterline using my Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever and blended it out with Urban Decays Crave from my Naked Basics palette.

Apply copious amounts of mascara and preferably falsies if you have them available. The bigger the better, she is a diva after all!

To finish off the face I contoured using NYX Blush in Taupe with a Real Techniques Setting Brush, NYX Blush in Peach with a Real Techniques Blush Brush and Dior Shimmer Powder in Rose Diamon and a Real Techniques Setting Brush. I also highlighted the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow (the top of my upper lip) and my browbone using the Shimmer Powder.

We all know Jessica likes her red lip, so to achieve the look I see on her in the movie I lined my lips with MAC Cherry Lip Liner and filled them in completely. I also overdrew my lips a little, for a bit more va-va-vavoom. I then filled my lips in using Rimmel Apocalips in Big Bang. Again with the lips you could go more for the heart-shaped lip she has in the movie, but I wanted to keep it realistic looking.

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."

"Why don't you do right, like some other men do?"

This is just my take on the makeup I think this over-the-top diva would wear in real life. To finish this off for a Halloween party, pair with a slinky red dress, purple gloves the sparkliest heels you can find! And obviously a a bright red, big and bouncy wig.


Thank you for reading and until next time!
