Scorpio

So, here comes the next look in the Zodiac series, Scorpio. To me Scorpio is a dark and mysterious sign and the color I associate with it is dark red. I figured that the makeup look that best would describe this Zodiac sign is a grey smokey eye with sharp, red eyeliner. :)

As eyeliner I have used the rusty, blood-red gel liner Poison by Makeup Geek. I like it a lot, even though it clogs my brush just as Fame did. Another drawback with it is that it doesn't show up as good if you use it on a darker background. I tried doing this look with a darker shade of grey but the red just "disappeared".

For the lips, a burgundy red suits the Scorpio ladies. :) To emphasize it I applied black in the corners of my lips.

Well, that's about it! :) I was planning to participate in the monthly theme challenge at sophistiquenoir.com but we'll see if I manage to create a look for it tomorrow or on Thursday.

Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you soon! Have a lovely day, evening or whatever it is where you are! :)

Gemini

I finally did the Gemini look for my Zodiac series. :) It turned out very colorful which is how I see the Gemini's I know.
When I think of Gemini I think of two elements that are each others reflection and that is the concept that this look is based upon. The colors I've chosen fit in together in a way that makes it hard to realize that the eyes are different, which makes it possible to wear this look outside even though it is highly special. :)

Since the eyes are different I decided to take a lot more pics of this look than I usually do. Phew!

And to put a little gothic twist on it just add a black lip. ;)

Positive traits
*Curious and active
*Intellectual, spiritual and loves discussions
*Independent
*Warm and friendly
*Entertaining

Negative traits
*Restless and erratic
*Moody and coldhearted
*Superficial when it comes to love
*Double nature that often have many projects that don't necessarily get finished

Hope all you Gemini out there like this look. :) Next look will probably be Scorpio, but I have some other non-Zodiac looks planned before that.
