Recreating a make up look!

Hi lovelies,

A little while ago, I came across an amazing thread on a website I frequent daily, and made a mental note to revisit. Basically, readers could upload interesting photos of make up looks that they liked, and other readers could try to recreate the look themselves. I thought it was a really interesting idea! Tonight, while I was watching my weekly TV run of Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and Private Practice, I was having an idle browse and decided I felt like recreating one of the looks, so I picked this one below as it looked really fun.

(I'm not sure who/where this was created so I can't
credit the original author)

I believe it may have been done using the Sleek Acid palette, but I was certain I could pull off a similar look with my Beauty UK Soho palette, so I gave it a shot.

Here's what I came up with, I think it's reasonably close. The only thing I missed, is the slight lilac tinge just under the eyebrow, I don't know how but it didn't show up too well on my laptop screen when I was recreating this look and I've only just noticed it while updating this post!

I don't know if I'd ever wear it out, but it was really fun to try recreating something new. :)







What did you think? Now, I might be setting myself up for an epic failure here, but has anyone got any looks that they think I should try? Post a link and I'll try to get to it. :)

Much love,
MM.

  4. Looks amazing N!!
    It's pretty full on to wear out but if you were going to some crazy circus/costume party it'd be very cool!

    1. It is full on, but surprisingly not as bad when my eyes are open! I can just think of wearing it as part of a clown outfit with a rainbow wig, hehe!

    1. I know, it's such a great run, isn't it? Such a pity they have cancelled Desperate Housewives! Bah.

      Thank you! xx
