The penguin challenge look 1: drag queen

I love drag queens. Their makeup application is perfection, glitter everywhere, dramatic lips, dramatic contouring, a lot of highlighter, the more sets of false eyelashes the better ... I was even a drag queen for a masquerade this year. That was the first time I tried drag makeup. I haven't even practiced or anything, but then I realized it was not even that hard to do. That's why I decided to do it for my first look for the penguin (black and white) challenge. Here are the awesome ladies who came up with this challenge: Kaki, Alexis and Mimi.

Oh, yeah.. And according to google, my drag queen name is Iva Fetish ;).

Here is the look I came up with:

Products used:

face:
- Sephora Base lissante Smoothing primer
- Bourjois foundation healthy mix 52 Vanille
- E.l.f. High definition powder
- E.l.f.Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
- E.l.f. Blush Gotta glow 

lips:
- Bourjois eyeliner pencil 01 Noir expert
- Revlon lipbutter 060 Gumdrop
(I didn't really want to do black and white lips, that's why I chose really light purple colour, which still kinda resembles white)

eyes:
- Urban Decay Primer potion Eyeshadow base
- Bourjois eyeliner pencil 02 Noir expert
- NYX Jumbo pencil 604 Milk 
- Bourjois Liner feutre 11 Noir
- black  and white matte eyeshadow from Sleek i-divine pallette Chaos 577
- shimmery eyeshadow from BeautyUK eyeshadow collection pallette Twilight
- Barry M glitter stacking set mixed with Kiko mixing solution Solution mixante 
- Baci lingerie false eyelashes no. 670 glued with Duo eyelash adhesive dark-tone
- Artdeco all in one mascara black

eyebrows:
- Catrice Absolute Eye colour 350 Starligh Expresso

I started with the eyes, I assumed that I will have a lot of fallout from glitter and black, at the end wasn't that bad :D. Firstly, right after the primer I roughly draw with Bourjois' black liner pencil where I want my lines to go. Then I started building up the black eyeshadow and applied NYX's jumbo pencil on my lids, set it with matte eyeshadow, followed by shimmery white, also on my brow bone. Then I applied white-ish glitter with mixing solution on my lids. Lined my upper eyelash line with Bourjois' Liner feutre, also the lower lash line. Added black shadow on lower lash line, and jumbo pencil to waterline and outer part in between the upper and lower black line. Added falsies and mascara.

Then I applied foundation, concealer, set everything with powder, contoured, applied blush and highlighter.
Then I lined my lips and a little bit in the corners with black eyeliner, in the center I applied Revlon Lipbutter.
The last thing were my eyebrows, and I always stick to my basics. Catrice Starligh Expresso never disappoints me :).

I still think this is more of a toned down drag makeup ... I didn't cover my eyebrows and draw them on, I just filled them and made them longer. I was thinking about applying two sets of lashes, but I intended to clean the makeup afterwards, and I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning my false lashes (and brushes, too). :P

Tell me, if you like iiiiit :). Would you wear it? :D

Have a lovely day <3

P.S. Special thanks to my roommate/dear friend/partner in crime who took the pictures. You rock ;)

And here are the lovely ladies who already did the first look. I'm one day behind. Whoopsie ;)

Sephora Kat von D "Sinner" inspired makeup look

I have a list of topics for my blog I need to write and I have like one million other ideas what to post, but sometimes you just don't feel like blogging. I go to work and it's so hot I can't even think and don't forget to mention - I'm world's biggest procrastinator. You probably know how it feels if you are blogger :).

I was playing with makeup couple of days ago, was inspired by Kat von D's "sinner" look for her Sephora line. (I would like to have every single product from her line... and I have birthday soon :P)

You probably know that I love her, I mentioned her in one of my previous blog posts and even tweeted about her. She is one of my idols and she does the most awesome makeup looks. (Well, she is awesome with everything she does :)).

So here is the final look:

   

I have a crappy camera. Glitter was actually much more visible in person. Ah, well, have to work with what I have.

Here are the products I used:

• face:

- Avon Ideal shade in Creamy natural
- Bourjois BIO detox Fond de teint in Vanilla (mixed those two together)
- Bourjois Healthy mix concealer in 52 medium radiance
- E.l.f. Mineral Foundation SPF15 in Fair to set my whole face
- E.l.f Contouring Blush & Contouring Powder

• eyes:

- Essence I <3 stage eyeshadow base

- NYX The Runaway Collection in Jazz Night (I bought it, beacuse it really reminds me of Kat von D's Metal Orchestra palette)

- Essence Cristalliced glitter froster in 02 Diamond dust mixed with Kiko Mixing solution
- Catrice Liquid liner in 010 Dating Joe Black
- Catrice Kohl Kajal in black
- Artdeco All in One Mascara in Black (my all time favourite mascara <3)

• eyebrows:

- Catrice Eye brow stylist in 030 Brown-n-eye Peas
- and a little tiny bit of Alverde black mascara (because she has quite dark eyebrows)

• lips:

- Bourjois Sweet kiss in 49 Rose allure

- Revlon lipbutter in 015 Tutti Frutti

Do you like this look? Would you wear it?

Good night,

xoxo Deja

P.S.: I know it's kinda late, but I have two new looks planned for the Hunger Games. I'm so excited (...and I just can't hide it :P).
