BFF series - Un regard fluo - Makeup Look (Recreation)

I might just as well post these photos, right? It would be shame if it went to waste. In continuation to yesterday's  post (or this very early morning’s post more like) this is another look recreation from my friend spittingglitter on YouTube. There is no tutorial for this look, but my friend used mainly neon eyeshadows from affordable brand stargazer cosmetics. This is spittingglitter's look .





And this is my recreation. The pink, purple and green colours are from sleek makeup acid palette (what else, lol). As for the yellow, i totally 'cheated' and opted for a kinder shade of yellow (nyx mellow yellow) rather than a pure neon yellow. 


 








Overall I don’t mind my recreation, it’s all right even though it’s not as neon (fluo in French) as the original. I wish I wasn't so heavy handed on the purple and deposited a soft wash rather than a heavy purple rain. I like to pile it on baby.

Cut Creasing, Glitter spitting and Look Recreating

Is there a particular 'skill' in search for a better word in makeup/beauty that you are absolutely obsessed about and that you would like to achieve? Me, since I started to play with makeup, I wanted to learn on how to put false lashes. I remember I bought so many pairs which I ended up throwing away, and I remember all the tears and frustration through the learning process. Not that I am not pro now, but I'd like to think that I got better.


When I started watching makeup videos on YouTube, I remember being obsessed with 'cutting the crease' especially high cut crease as I truly believed it could help my droopy eyelids and give the illusion of a lifted eye. I feel really sorry for my poor friends who had to hear me whinging for weeks on end. Bri is one of my best friends, and not only she supported me through it, but she created an 'cut crease' for me back then and it really pushed me to try and try and try harder. Today, I want to pay a little surprise tribute to Bri (aka spittingglitter) and recreate one of her makeup looks.


I just couldn't resist recreating her sexy rock witch look which wowed me from the minute I saw it. I am so chuffed the tutorial she did for her sexy witch has reached more than 13,000 views. So so so so proud. Without further ado, this is the original look she did on her friend Saskia 







and this is my recreation. Oh my, I had sooooooo much fun recreating this.









To do this look, I used as usual my favourite purple ever, the purple from the sleek makeup acid palette, some cheapy green from boots natural collection (green glimmer). I used white and black from the nyx trio palette which I use all the time. For the highlight, it was mac blanc type.  Lashes are from cherry culture. I am not used to human hair lashes, they feel like pubic hair on your eyes. For the lip colour, I use barry m black lipstick applied over some regular black eyeliner.


I also recreated another and more wearable look from spittingglitter, but you're going to have to sit through my YouTube video tribute to her to see it :) clicky ckicky --> here <--


Last but not least, I would like to give credit to @millycupcake who did an amazing, fabulous, astounding work on digitally enhancing spittingglitter’s signature. Originally it was a handmade painting she made on the back of the head of her boyfriend, after she did some amazing tribal makeup on him. I used milly’s work in my video at the end

The original  was this:




and milly gave him an even cleaner shave and this is the final clean up:
tada :) :)

Happy Naughty Year ^_^

For New Year's Eve, I wanted to go out in fancy dressed costume and chose to be a little devil. I am still very much a beginner in makeup, so I asked my friend Bri aka 'spittingglitter' on youtube ideas for it.

Not only she helped me with ideas, but she dropped everything and created a devil for me instantly.

So this is what spittingglitter sent me:

Unfortunately, I ran out of time, I did not have time to do the 'fork eyeliner' finishing touch. But where I failed the most was with the lips! They were meant to be shiny blackest black with a red centre & ended up in all the variations of red, purple, and black throughout the night.

My finished look ended up looking nowhere like the original. All in all, the look is ok, definitely lasted through the night,but needs polishing, tidying, more contouring, definitely more thought out work on the lips, and the fork liner!

After this mouth watering introduction, here's my look.
