Birthstone: Yellow Topaz

It's kind of scary that I have only two (now one...) birthstone looks left. Didn't I just start this series? Apparently, it has been almost a year. I can't believe how fast time has passed!

Well, before nostalgia grabs us too hard we might as well continue to the look. :) The birthstone for November is, as you might have guessed from the title, yellow topaz. And what better way to capture this gem stone with a makeup look than to combine yellow eyeshadow and golden liner?

I dusted the golden eyeshadow (Honey pot by Too Faced) on top of the whole thing as a last finish but unfortunately the camera didn't really pick it up. Instead you might distinguish some kind of dirty, yellow "glow". Well, now you know where that comes from...

As I've mentioned before, I hate the lack of daylight during the Swedish winter season. Almost all of my pictures were f*cked up because of that, hence this picture deprived post. -___-

So that's that for now! :) If anyone is wondering what I've been up to lately, since it's been so quiet around here, I can tell you I've been in Stockholm for almost a week doing a basic training course with work, that I will tell you more about soon. I've had a fabulous week and met so much awesome people that I'm going to miss a lot now that I'm home again.

Thanks a lot for reading this post and hope you liked the look!

Lollipop

As you probably already know I adore my Sugarpill eyeshadows. I wanted to try on a very different combination of vibrant shades so I wrecked my brain and inspiration picture stash for ideas. Eventually, I came across a look by Linn, a.k.a. MrBarbie at Dayviews.com that I decided to recreate (with a few modifications...). :)
If you're a member on Dayviews you can find her picture here.

Well, now onto my version of this look.

I decided to name this look "Lollipop" because that Lollipop song kept popping up in me head frequently during its creation. Buttercupcake is adorning the upper lid accompanied by Dollipop on the lower. They definitely make a candylicsious duet!

To get Buttercupcake to blend into my skin a little better, and to give my crease some definition I used Taupe notch by Makeup Geek as a transition color.

If you don't have the perfect Barbie-pink shade of lipstick you can do like this: 1. Make sure your lips are adequately moisturized. 2. Wipe off any excess lip balm and then apply NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk all over your lips. 3. With a lip brush apply a hot pink over your lips, making sure that Milk doesn't show through anywhere. 4. As a finishing touch, apply a little more Milk to the center of your lips and finish with a clear lip gloss.

Haha, I guess this is NOT my style at all but I kind of liked the result anyway. :) Sugarpill-Barbie/Pin up. Or something.

The End Of The World

I just realized how long it has been since my last post. *___* Sorry! I've been busy... Well... Painting. And that's where all my creativity has gone.

Since the world is going to end today I thought it would be proper to do a makeup look inspired by that event. When I think of the doomsday I always think of this beautiful poem by Robert Frost.

"Some say the world will end in fire

Some say in ice

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire

But if it had to perish twice

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice"

Long story short, this poem was my main inspiration for today's look. :)

Rather than involving any blue eyeshadow I decided to keep the "ice" in white and silver.

I think that the thing I liked best with this look was the eyebrows. :3

The whole face pictures of this look were terrible so here's a B&W one instead... With strange hair. XD
