What's up?

I've been waiting a good subject to post about, you know, like coming back with a bang, but anything hasn't really happened.

But I've been slowly starting to do makeup looks again (other than boring neutral everyday looks), and I thought I'd share some of them here too. They have been already been in my facebook page and instagram, but here are some of them again anyway:

Recently Illamasqua released a new collection, called Paranormal.

I came across their amazing promotional photo, and wanted to do my own version of it:

Mainly Illamasqua products used, Complement palette, Kontrol lipstick and Boost instense lipgloss.

 Then I wanted to try the Kim Kardashian makeup, mainly the skin-thing she does, and managed to do this:

I used a ton of products, something like 5 shades darker foundation that I normally use, white under my eyes etc. Not really your light everyday look -_-

As opposite to huge amount of makeup, I added some fake freckles to myself and went all "natural redhead": :D

 Then something different again, I went all R.
You know, from Warm Bodies? (Still haven't seen it though.)

Anyway, I wasn't pretty:

Then one of my favourite characters, Magenta from Rocky Horror Picture Show:

I was also doing makeup at the photoshoots, it made me realise how much I really suck at general photoshoot looks. I tend to over-do everything horribly. Well, now I know better.

For a moment, I also was Death:

Finally, I did a Borderlands look for my husband:

And last a test makeup for Mad Moxxi look from Borderlands:

So there.

Photoshoot: Panda-Diablo III

'ola!

I have tons of posts queued, gazillion pictures ready, but the text is lacking, I just haven't found any time to write any posts, and I'm really sorry for that.

You, my readers, are the reason I'm having my blog, so I feel bad that I can't post all the time. 

I have suffered from severe depression for over ten years, and sometimes it unfortunately affects my blogging. I just can't find motivation to write, especially when there has been a long break, and I have to break the blog silence with something. I don't want the post to be too boring, but something that would be worth the wait. 

I know most of these feelings and thoughts are only inside my head, but there's where they matter to me.

I just want to apologize and ask you to bear with me.

But after this non-makeup related information, the Diablo III look.

Panda from Piece of Panda blog was going to Assembly (it's a Finnish demoscene and gaming event) and she wanted something geeky for her makeup. 

After some pondering, we decided to go with Diablo III look, inspired by this pic:

Here's the design I made:

And here's the final result:

Sugarpill Bulletproof, Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly, Sugarpill Goldilux and Eye Kandy Cosmetics Banamarama and Candy Apple glitters 

Model: Piece of Panda

Photography & Makeup: Jangsara

After I did this look, I got a request to do a look inspired by character from Diablo, called Magda (or Maghda, I'm not sure):

Here's my original design based on that picture:

The result was something a bit different:

I used mainly Manly 120 palette and Lime Crime eyeliners.

Photoshoot: Piece of Panda

At Lush's Emotion Brilliance event I met some Finnish bloggers (thanks you girls, it was so much fun!), and one of them was supercute T from Piece of Panda blog.
We started to think ideas for makeup and photoshoot with her, and here's some pics I took of her :)

The first look was light and glowy and bright and fun:

For Panda's eyes I used Lime Crime Coral of the Story on lid, Sugarpill Flamepoint on crease and Illamasqua Breathe on browbone, with Marliss#159 lashes.
I wanted to get something special to the look, so I also used some bright and orange rhinestones.

The second look we made was darker, more rock:

She saw my old photos where I had done a Lady Gaga look for my friend J, and she also wanted to get the huge hairbow:

 I used Sugarpill Bulletproof on lid, blended it with Sugarpill 2am, and again used Illamasqua's Breathe for highlighter. To the middle of the lid I added some Eye Kandy Confetti glitter to bring a bit of sparkle.
Lashes are Sugarpill Dreamy false lashes.
For the lips I chose Lime Crime Chinchilla.

Special mention of the awesome jewellery Panda had:

The edgy earrings, necklace and ring were from Glitter, as well as the feather/skull scarf she used.

Photoshoot: Try ALL the looks!

I haven't had a model in a long time, but I was able to finally lure someone to be guinea pig for my makeup experiments :D

We did three different looks, and this was the first one:

For the eyes I used:
-Sugarpill Bulletproof (lid)
 Poison Plum (crease)
2am (blending)
Acidberry   (lower lashline)
- TBN glitters Pixie (upper lid)
 Neon Yellow (lower lashline).

The lashes are Illamasqua's most perfect lashes ever, Decadence lashes.

On the lips is MakeupGeek's lipstick Famous, and blush is Illamasqua's Morale.

Second look was much simpler, something pin-upish:

MakeupGeek eyeshadows:

Beaches and Cream

Purely Naked

Latte & Mocha

Lips:
MakeupGeek Elegant

ColorClub Red Dress lipgloss

Bluesh is Illamasqua Naked Rose

 And then the final crazy look, mainly this was inspired by the wig.. :

Eyes:

Sugarpill Mochi (lid)

Velocity (crease, outer corner)

Tako (Around the eyes)

Darling (sprinkled around eyes)

Royal Sugar  (sprinkled around eyes)

Upper lashes are # 159 from Marlliss and lower lashes are Paperself lashes called Small Peonies

Lips are Illamasqua Apocalips mixed with Illamasqua Violate lipgloss.

It was so fun to do makeup and photograph again, own face can get boring after a while :D
