Seven Deadly Sins: Envy

I want her hair. I want her boyfriend. I wanna be as pretty as she is. Maybe if I made her uglier, people would see me as pretty too?

Next one in the series is envy. Envy is, similarly to Lust, a sin of desire. The desire of another person's possessions or qualities.

"Sorrow for another's good"

This is one of the most dangerous deadly sins, because envious people usually take out their jealousy on them whom they are jealous of. You want something that belongs to someone else so bad, that you'd hurt them to get it.

Envy, to me, is lying, cheating, using every poisonous method you know to get what you want from the other person. Therefore the color of envy is green. Also snakes are often associated with envy (plotting behind someone's back).

I used around 8 different greens to create the lid and brow, all from my Coastal Scents palette. I wanted the eye shadow to go pretty far away from the eye, spreading like the venom that jealousy is. 
Green eyebrows, green cheek contour and green on the lips. Basically, I just wanted as much green as possible on my face without looking like an alien. :D

Details: I didn't want false lashes with this one. I felt like they would have glamed up the look too much, made it too pretty when it's supposed to be ugly, reflecting the thoughts of the envious.
The concentration of color underneath the brows gives it a more serious, dangerous look. 
The criss-cross pattern going out from the brow represents the snake element as well as the shadow/venom spreading.

Until next sin ;)

PUMPKIN NAILS!!!!

Guys, I'm in love with my nails. Can I keep them?

Now I'm off to hunt for my Halloween costume for the theme day at school. Does anyone own a walking cane with a built in knife that I can borrow?

Glittery Smoke

This may come as a shock to some of you but I do do stuff outside of the internet. Not very often, but still. Last Friday, I wore this glittery smoky look to a friend's birthday party, where the dress code was black and white. I was forbidden to use any colorful eye shadow, so I added the lashes and glitter instead. ^^

I know I've been using the same pair of false lashes for a long time now. But they're so prettyyyy!!!

Until next time ^^

Bloody face & nails

Guys, there isn't gonna be too many makeup looks in the following weeks. I fell with my bike on some wet autumn leafs and hit my face really bad on the ground. I had to get a few stitches and the doctor said that I can't apply makeup on them. I took this photo before I went to get sewn up, so this is a bit bloodier.  

I'm sorry for the inconvenience with Halloween coming up and all :(

Obviously that is a gigantic lie. I was just playing around with face paint and fake blood. 

Hope I fooled some of you ;)

As I am trying to get into the Halloween spirit, I also twisted up the classic french manicure a bit by doing the bloody version of it.

Until next time! ;)

Seven Deadly Sins: Lust

picture

Here are a few really good descriptions of lust.

"Lust or Lechery is the intense desire of the body. It is usually thought of as excessive sexual wants, however the word was originally a general term for desire. Therefore Lust could involve the intense desire of money, fame or power as well"

I had the sexy part in mind when creating this look. ^^ Lust is easily confused with love. In love you want whats best for them, in lust you want what feels best for you. But how is lust a deadly sin, you may wonder? Well, if you think about it, this is how a lot of relationships end. In someone giving in to the temptation of lust and cheating. When only thinking about their own wants and not other's needs.

When I think of "lust" I think passion, sweat and fire (hot, burning blood...). 

And someone whispering "I want you right now."

The main part being the desire of the blood. Therefore the colors of lust for me, are pink and dark red. 

The main thing to keep in mind, is to keep everything soft yet strong, smoky but not too dark. 

Dark eyebrows are easier to flirt with, so if your eyebrows are invisible like mine, feel free to fill them in with a darker color. False lashes are a must. You are trying to seduce someone here, you have to go all the way if you want to get some. ;)

For the rest of the face, in addition to the diffused, sultry eyes, I did pink lips and a lot of pink blush to give the face a bit of a glow.

So um, I have the house to myself tonight... 

;]

I love the filters of a webcam. Although I feel like a facebook slut/attention whore posting this picture...

Until next sin...
