Iron Man look

Iron Man is next in line for my Avengers series, which I forgot about for a while there... And He is, hands down, my favorite of the Avengers (with all Marvel heroes included, he shares first place with spidy). Now his colors are red and yellow/gold, so that's what I did! 

Frozen Spring

HIIIIIIIIII

Black Widow

FIRE HAIR

Oh look the trees outside my window are imitating my hair!

I love touching it ridiculously much don't judge me.

Not showing you my face right now because just no. So you'll have to manage with these.

Tooth Fairy

I just watched Rise of the Guardians, and man, let me tell you: it was cocoa butter and rainbows. Just plain and polished awesome all the way through. 

First decent animated movie in a while.

Tooth Fairy really caught my attention. Her colors, her bubbly personality. I got inspired to do a look based on her plumage. ^^

Until next time :]

Seven Deadly Sins: Pride

My beauty is superior to yours....

Pride. "The original sin". The blindest sin of them all. You do not see any good in others, you barely see them at all. All you have eyes for is yourself in all your glory. Looks, accomplishments, you know the gist. It is the opposite of envy. The proud love themselves and would not change a single thing about them. If anyone disagrees, well they're just simply wrong.

It was said to be the deadliest sin from which the others emerged, failing to see God as superior and therefore being sent straight to hell. (a good example is Lucifer aka Satan)

The color of pride, also vanity, is purple. When I think of pride I see mirrors, peacocks and divine beauty. Only problem is, I don't posses the last one, so I had to beautify this look in other ways, therefore the ornamented eyecorners. 

As I said, peacocks are very proud animals, and I wanted to bring in their element with the feathers. Otherwise, it is what I see as glamour gone overboard. There is the defined crease (indicating the hard surface of proud people), the huge lashes (mystery and shelter), a shitload of glitter if you care to look for it in various places and then of course the squiggly patterns and the rhinestones to make it look unearthy. 

The seven deadly sins are now over and done and you can find them all under this tag: 7 deadly sins. I'll do a wrap up post soon as well.

Until then ^^

Fantasies

I love everything fantasy related. I love imagining things myself, I love watching/listening to/reading other people's fantasies. Mostly I quite dislike my brain, but sometimes it goes off wandering to god knows where, creating the most bizarre scenarios. In those times I actually enjoy sharing heads with my brain.

While watching the Breaking Dawn pt 2 commentary version today, I started playing around with eyeliner. First it was just a settle wing with a spade on the lid for decoration. Then things started happening underneath the eye.. And before I knew it, I had quite a mess going on. 
I wasn't sure if it was worth anything or not, but I added false lashes and thought what the hell, it's not like I'm getting executed if you don't like it. .... Right?

I did the queen of hearts lips as well, but my face was being super unphotogenic, so no fullface picture today. 

hope you like it c:

Redhead

Yes people. I finally dyed my entire head orange.

I did it myself and this was the dye I used. L'Oreal Paris Féria 7.4 Mango Intense Copper.

It has an after treatment that's supposed to last for 6 weeks and it smells so amazing!

I actually think it turned out brighter than the package had promised.

But omg I love it so much. 

It does crazy stuff in the sun :D

My head is doing good right now (hair, llama hat) ^^ On the outside that is. Inside it's still total chaos.

Until later bubblebutts!

A+ GOLD STAR AWESOME AND BEYOND

THE LLAMA HAT IS HERE. I REPEAT, THE LLAMA HAT HAS ARRIVED

I haven't loved a hat this much since I made one in 2nd grade that looked like pig.

^^

Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath

I hate you. I hate myself. I hate everyone. Somebody is going to die.

Ah. The sin of wrath.

Uncontrollable rage. Anger of such greatness that it leads to violence and destructiveness. 

"Love of justice perverted to revenge and spite" - Dante.

I had one thought in mind: Seeing red. When anger reaches a level of almost-madness. 

Without further explanation, here's what I did.

I did sort of a mask, covered the eyes and temples completely. Color scheme is red and black. The colors of burning destruction and pain.

Details: The waterline is red, showing how utterly full of rage the person is, and the color is escaping out of the body through the lower lashes.

We have a very defined shape, no softness here. And the flared out lashes are there to make it more feminine. Didn't want to look like the devil....

Took some time to get up, but here it is. Hope you liked it. ^^

Until next sin ;)

Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

A person suffering from a thirst for life, trying to satisfy an infinite longing with finite things. 

Gluttony is overeating. Eating more than required. Overconsumption of food and drinks to the point of waste. (If you've read Catching Fire, think Victory tour party in the Capitol) Only concentrating on the needs of the body, ignoring the consequences of endless voracity.

This is fairly appropriate since all I've done this winter break is eat.

To translate into modern language, gluttony is the reason to and the nemesis of anyone who is overweight or has a drinking problem. Anyone who can't control how much, when, how often or what they eat. 

ANYwho, on to the look. I thought; foody colors, actual food and looking like I am gluttony personified. 

The main lid color being orange, I took it all the way up to the brow to emphasize the excessiveness of the sin. There's some dark brown in the crease and a lot under the eye. Something a bit deviant are the sprinkles I glued to the lashes. I mean, why not? ^^

On the other eye I actually put melted chocolate in the outer corner and let it run down. As if I am so full that there isn't room for any more and it has to find a way out. Same goes with the corner of my mouth. And the lips are just luscious, aren't they :3

A lot of blush and bronser to make my cheeks look edible. Yes, I glued marshmallows and crushed Marianne to my temple and forehead. That's just what I do, all right?

Until next sin
^^

Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

Oh it's been a while since I've done a deadly sin. I guess I've just been a good girl. hah nope not me. I've just been really busy with school etc. Enough excuses, this is greed!

Greed is one of the sins with a deadly desire. In this case the desire to possess an excess of wealth and valuable objects. You have no intentions of making anything of your possessions, you just need to know they're yours. And that you own more than others. It's funny how this applies to almost everyone nowadays. Except nuns...
This is the one that's been the biggest bitch to me int the past. Not anymore though.

Originally I was going to paint my entire face gold, as if I had been touched by King Midas... Didn't work though. Just made me look extremely sweaty. So I went for my second option: the two faces of greed. You have your polished, pretty face, only showing a bit of the glam you own. And the "real you", reflecting the thirst for money you really have. 

I ended up only liking the "polished" side of my face. So that's what I'm showing you now! :)

I photoshopped the shit out of my eyes to make them look like gold.

Everything is shimmery or straight on glitter, resembling the life of the greedy. The green element underneath the eye is supposed to represent money (bills, you know). And I couldn't not add the lashes and the rhinestones. I mean, if you're going for glam you gotta go all the way.

You can kind of see that half of my face is in fact golden, but just think of that as the dark, secret identity of a greedy person.

Until next sin!


Ps. I didn't dye my entire head orange, just the front with a super permanent dye. The rest of the hair is basically my natural color but shinier.

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?

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...

The Circus Makes Everything Stranger

RAINBOW LIPS!!!

Is it wrong that I'm in love with my lips?

Do you wanna know how I did them? With face paint. That's how.
