This look has actually been in my head for a very long time, ever since I did my Nightmare Before Christmas look, but after seeing the Alice in Wonderland look by Luciferismydad it was impossible not to take inspiration from that one as well.
Cheshire cat is supposed to be in a misty cloud, I don't know if you can tell...
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!
Last but not least I would love to thank you all for the wonderful comments you've sent me on my past few posts! I have read them all but haven't been able to find time to respond to everyone of them yet so please don't feel offended if you're awaiting a response! As always I really appreciate that you actually take your time reading my posts, commenting and subscribing! It means a lot to me and makes blogging so much more worth it. :D
I sincerely hope that you have had a lovely summer so far (or winter if you live on the Southern hemisphere)! :)
