The Penguin Makeup Challenge Part 1: Black and White

Part one of the penguin makeup challenge will be my current everyday makeup look. It is a classic deathrock look with a thick batwing eyeliner. I love wearing this look because it is so me.

With the eyes open the liner looks just like a regular eyeliner...

...but when closing the eyes you can see the batwing! :D

Looking goth for work. I'm so happy that I can wear my piercings at my new job. In fact I can look however I want as long as I dress in black. Now that's my kind of dress code! :)

I hope you liked my look! I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on how to create the batwing eyeliner, how does that sound?

Thanks for reading! :)

Imperfection

While the looks I posted previously during this week has been very dramatic, artsy and almost completely unwearable this one is going to be of the more wearable kind. At least it is wearable if you like dramatic makeup in bright colors. ;)

This look is inspired by the speckled liner that Illamasqua had on one of their promo pictures for their collection I'mperfection. I wanted to spice it up a bit using red as a base instead of a neutral color. :)

Red lips goes well with this look and the one I'm using is one of the lipstick pens (comparable to Clinique's chubby sticks) by Lumene. I haven't had time to do a proper review of it yet but it will come.

Step 1. Prime your eyes and fill in your eyebrows.

Step 2. Apply NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk in a soft layer all over your eyelid. Don't forget to share the love with your lower lids!

Step 3. Define your crease slightly with a light brown eyeshadow. This will be our transition color that will make it a lot easier to blend the red eyeshadow into our skin tone. If you have darker skin just use a medium or darker brown instead. :)

Step 4. Pop on some Love+ and blend to your heart's content!

Step 5. A thick, winged eyeliner will create a base for the speckles. Line your waterline with white eyeliner.

Step 6. Now, do some black speckles along the liner. Due to my eye shape I found it more suitable to concentrate the speckles on the outer part.

Step 7. I haven't had the pleasure to make acquaintance with Illamasqua's Scribe yet so I'm using Kryolan's white AquaColor to do the white speckles.

Step 8. Mascara and false eyelashes.
