The Vintage (or Tacky) Iron Man

One of the Youtube gurus that has inspired me most throughout the years is Cora from Vintageortacky. She's funny and extremely talented which makes it delightful to watch her videos! :)
Recently she posted this tutorial on an Iron Man look and I totally fell in love with it. Plus, I do own many of the products she uses in the video so recreating this look was a must for me. ;)


I did decide to put an extra element on this look, that would make it more me and add some more craziness to it (as if that is needed :P...); hence the rhinestones along the lower lash line.


Honestly, I have no idea why but red eyeshadow always look un-blended and as if I've sloppily painted it on in some ancient drawing program (remember Paint anyone?) or something. -___- It helps to turn down the saturation a bit but I still can't capture the smooth blending that actually existed there in real life. So frustrating!

  2. I really like how beautiful the dark edges look around the red eyeshadow. It makes it look mysterious. I'll definitely wear something like this the next time I go out.
    Oh, and, your fringe is very cute. :3

    1. Thanks! The dark edges is actually my favorite part of this look. They give a bit of depth to it.
