Beyonce "Countdown" Official Music Video Inspired Makeup

A Youtube guru by the name of BEATFACEHONEY did a look inspired by Beyonce's Countdown video and I fell in love with it so I decided to recreate it in my own way. I thought this look would be fun to do and since Halloween isn't too far from now maybe some of you can get inspiration for how you want to do your makeup. The yellow really makes the look stand out but you can definitely substitute the yellow for another fun color. I think a bright green or a hot pink would look so fierce with this look! Anyway I hope you all enjoy. Thanks for reading! :)

 Happy (early) Halloween!

Before you jump into conclusions, I did not actually shave off my eyebrows. See what the power of makeup can do?! :D

This look was inspired by the chola look. A chola is a Hispanic female gangster that wears this style originated in LA. She has thin, high arched eyebrows, nude lips, dark lip liner and heavy eyeliner. Hope you like my rendition of it. :)

PS: This was not intended to insult anyone whatsoever. I did this simply for fun.

CONTEST ENTRY: Drag Queen

I decided to join Mimi's Drag Queen Contest!!!! I actually did this look around 2 in the morning since I was wide awake. But as soon as I got done with the look, I was exhausted!!!!!

It took me about an hour & a half to create the whole look PLUS take pictures. I spent more time trying to conceal my eyebrows but you can tell that I failed at that.

I also contoured/highlighted my cheeks, jaw line, chin & nose!! I wish my nose looked like that in real life. Amazing at what make-up can really do to yourself!!

Anywho, I looooooove the way my lips turned out. If you guys remember from one of my previous posts from a while back, I showed the many uses of MAC's Helium Pigment. Basically I did the same trick with my lips here just to give it more glam!

After seeing all the pictures and looking at myself in the mirror at the time, I was actually afraid to look at myself any longer. That just goes to show that I would never EVER shave off my eyebrows and put them in places they don't belong. For example, my forehead! No thank you!!


Haha anyway, I won't list down what I used, unless of course it's required for the contest but you could pretty much tell that I kept it pretty simple [in a dramatic sort of way]. Black & white eyeshadow, red blush, red lips, etc.

Good luck to all the rest who are joining the contest. [:

Mardi Gras Makeup Look

I don't usually enter contests because I'm not that confident with my work compared to a lot of you other talented ladies. But I decided to join Missxmai's contest because I knew this contest involves a lot creativity & a lot of color! So I thought I'd give it a try.

What do you ladies think? I hope you like it! I used a whole bunch of random stuff that I could find in my make-up drawers. LOL. I was mainly going for color so I just through on anything on my face. Even lipstick that didn't even go on my lips (;

Halloween FOTD

Just wanted to throw out another Halloween look I did today before the day actually hits. I remember last year I did the same look using practically the same products and you can really see how much I've improved since then. Lol! What do you think? Anyway, hope you ladies like it. And don't mind my nappy ass hair. I just got back from school and I had no hopes in fixing it. Lol. Take care & happy early Halloween. [:

[Halloween 2007]
This was a look I did last halloween. Haha. Yeah... big difference right? I know... I thought it turned out really nice until I came across these pictures today. Then it made me laugh. LOL.

Inspirational Look for Halloween!

I love HALLOWEEN. It's the only time of the year where you can walk out of your house looking like a complete skank and nobody will look at you weird. :P So as an Original Gangster like myself [just kidding].. I decided to do the "Smile Now Cry Later" clown face. Here's my inspiration..

What I used:
NYX "Milk" Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil to create the shape around the mouth & eyes
NYX "Black Bean" Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil to shape eyebrows, outline the mouth & eyes
MAC Smolder eye kohl to line eyes & outline lips & nose & to fill in triangles above & under eyes
MAC Rougette l/s [Mattene Collection] for lips & nose
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner for tear drops & "my crazy life" criminal tattoo.



my happy "cry later" face. LOL.

FOTD: Black & Yellow

I'm at it again!! I should be studying for my exam for my Business Law class. But I just couldn't help myself from going over the top with this look. I've always wanted to attempt a look like this but I was never brave enough nor did I ever have the time. And since I'm out of school early today I thought I'd play with some makeup and go a little crazy.

If you wanna know what I used just let me know and I'll be more than happy to tell you. As for a tutorial, gosh I don't even know when's the next time I'll ever have time to do a look like this. I kinda just did this look as a spur of the moment type of thing. But I do know that there's a tutorial on YouTube very similar to it, except I think hers is a lot better than mine.
