Makeup 365 Days 67 and 68

Between going to NYC Tuesday night and the storm we had last night preventing photobucket from uploading this entry is very delayed! I apologize, my friends. I will post day 69 a bit later in the day. I have a shepherd costume to make, a dress to press, horses to care for, a dog to walk and a concert to go to which means day 69 may be a bit delayed as well. Life! Anyway ...

Day 67:

I have been getting to the point with this where I am tired of copying everyone else. I am also getting tired of working on my own face, but I digress ... Anywho, I decided I would take inspiration from things around me instead of trying to copy to pros. While copying the pros is a good way to learn techniques it makes you only as good as the person you are copying. I need to flex my design muscles now. So for this one I took my inspiration from a peacock.

The makeup:

My results:




I rather like this color combination with my coloring. It may not show up in the pictures, but in the daylight it made my eyes look green which I love. Gray eyes are cool and all, but I love when they change color.

Day 68:

So, nail art. I found this tutorial on how to make tie dye nails. Cool. Go to try it, get two nails in an it is a royal pain in the rear. I am an incredibly patient person with things like this and I got two nails done before I just dropped it all together.

Here is what it turned out looking like:



Looks pretty cool, but it is definitely not worth the trouble.
