Doll Make-Up

Photo Credit to Kit Skailes :)

 

This is a look that I created for a photoshoot with a friend inspired by blythe dolls. Now... I used FAIRLY unorthodox methods to get this effect but bear with me when I'm tellng you to put lip stain on your eyes - I must stress that this look was ONLY meant for photos, and not actual day to day wear. It did re-kindle my love of pink eyeshadow though..

A Blythe Doll...


Method:

1. Urban Decay primer potion all over lid
2. Benefit 'Big, Beautiful Eyes' palette. I used a wash of the light pink colour all over my eyelid and browbone.I then applied a TINY amount of the darkest brown to the outer C of my eye, not extending onto the lower lashline.
3.I then used a fairly heavy covering of foundation all over my face - remember thatwe want our skin to look like plastic, or at least as fake and perfect as possible.
4. Covered under eye circles and blemishes with my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in 01.
5. Now for the weird bit... I used a mixture of Benetint and Posietint on my Ecotools flat-topped buffing brush, which I applied in a large C shape, kind of like a contour, beginning beneath my cheekbone and ending in my eye crease. This took lots of blending, but remember to be quick because those stains set SO FAST! This is how I achieved the rounded pink glow that the dolls have.
6. To make my eyes look more wide open and scary I applied my Natural Collection white eyeliner to my waterline and tear duct area, which I then brought down onto my lower lashline and blended with my finger.
7. I then used my Collection 2000 Pump up the Volume Loud Lash Mascara in Black to heavily coat my top lashes, leaving my bottom lashes bare.
8. Finally, I used the infamous Revlon ust Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous on my lips, taking care to enhance my cupid's bow.  

I hope you all like this look,  know it's a pretty random use of products! Also, excuse the pictureless post, but I'm new to this and just ca't make pictures on this look good right now - I'm trying people! 

Big Love :)
