Gosh Autumn Look

For the blog Oh My Gosh I made this Autumn Look.
She has a give-away with Gosh products, and to win those goodies you have to make an autumn look, with at least a few Gosh products, based on a photograph you like.

I chose this picture:


I love the warm red and orange tones, and I thought they were beautiful colours to use in an autumn look!

The Result:




It turned out to be a bright, warm autumn look, that reminds me of the leaves you can find in forests and on the streets.
I think this is actually wearable.
It's definitely suited for party's but it can also be worn in the day if you like to wear bright make-up (not a great idea for wall flowers, because you WILL get noticed wearing this ;) ).

A closer look at the eyes:







And the lips:


And the complete look (including nail polish):

The pictures don't show the colours of the make-up very well.
In real life the colours were MUCH more intense.
Sadly the cam on my macbook makes the colours less intense (and blogger dulls them as well :S ).

Anyway, here's everything I used:


All the Gosh products I used:


What I used for my face:


*Velvet Touch Line Perfector (face primer) (Gosh)
*Mattifying Finish Pressed Powder (Gosh)
*Professional Powder Brush (Catrice)

Eye products:


*Return To Paradise Eye Shadow in 01 Cockatoo (I used the orange one) (Essence)
*Magic Of Beauty Eye Shadow in 10 Volcano (I used the copper colour) (Lacura)
*Caramé Intense Eye Shadow in C04 Spiced Bronze (Catrice)
*My Shadow Eye Shadow in 329 (MNY)
*Sparkling Eye Shadow Powder in 13 (Wild & More)
*Caramé Intense Eye Shadow in C03 Spiced Red (Catrice)
*Magic Design Mascara Waterproof (black colour) (Essence)
*Kajal & Eyeliner in nr 6 (Wet N Wild)

Lips & Nails:


On my lips:
*Velvet Touch Lip Primer (Gosh)
*Lip Designer in 010 Ruby Red (Catrice)
*Soft'N Shine Lip Balm in 41 Kiss (Gosh)

On my nails:
*Nail Laquer in 581 Orange Drops (Gosh)

How I made this look:

First I used a lot of liner perfector in mu whole face (except for on mu eye lids and under my eyes) and let it dry for a few minutes.
Then I used the eye primer on my eye lids and under my eyes and the lip primer on my lips.
I let that dry for a few minutes too.
After that I used the mattifying powder on my whole face (except for my eye lids, under my eyes and on my lips).
Then I started on my eyes.
First I used the waterproof eye shadow base on my lids.
Then I applied the orange colour of the Essence Return To Paradise Palette on the inner corners of my eyes.
Following by the copper colour of the Lacura duo on my lid.
Then I blended thos two shadows.
After that I used Catrice Spiced Bronze on the middle of the part of my eye where my inner corner and the rest of the eye meet (I know that sounds a little vague, but I don't know how to explain it better!).
Again, I blended the shadows together.
Now it was time to use the red colour by MNY (nr 329) on the outer v and inn the outer part of my crease.
And I blended it again.
Then I used the Sparkling Eye Shadow by wet & wild in the crease and blended it together.
This shadow was really bright and sparkly and just wonderful!!!
The last shadow I used was Spice Red by Catrice on the outer part of the outer v.
Once again I blended it together.
Then I added some more red eye shadow to make the eye shadow symmetrical on both sides and blended again.
Now I used the kajal pencil, then the lash curler, lash comber and then the mascara.

On my lips I used the lip liner which I lined my lips with, and then I filled them in with the liner as well.
On top of that I applied the Soft N Shine Lipbalm by Gosh (amazing product I tell you!)>

On my nails I applied the Gosh nail laquer in Orange drops and my autumn look was finished!

As you can see I used a lot of Gosh, Essence and Catrice products.
I really like those brands, because I like the colours, because they are good quality and they aren't very expensive (though Gosh is better quality than Essence and Catrice and also higher priced).

I never used to use Gosh, because I used to think that even though the products looked great (I love the bright and vibrant colours), I thought they were too expensive for me at that time and I didn't know if they were any good.

Then I read about Gosh products on Jasmine her blog (Oh My Gosh) and she wrote and showed that they were awesome.

I first bought a few of the tinted lip balms and I thought they were great.
The Jasmine wrote about the primers on her blog and I bought them all and a mattifying powder.
I love those too and I ended up buying a few stunning nail polishes as well.

I have yet to try the lip glosses, lipstick, eye pencils, eye shadows, mascara's etc. , but they are probably great as well!

Jasmine, I hope you like me look!
I'm not that great with make-up yet, I just started working with brushes and primers and I barely know how to blend, but I love playing with make-up an creating looks, so I hope that counts for something.


Until next time,

Freya

P.S. Let me know what you think about this look!

Venemous Villains Look For Blogginbeauties: Drusilla

Here's my look for the Venemous Villains Give-Away of Bloggin Beauties:


I'm not a big fan of villains (I always want to be the good one in movies etc.) but if I could play any villains in a movie it would be Drusilla (from Buffy The Vampire Slayer).
That is because she is special.
She is a psychic which gives her special powers (seeing the future and knowing things she shouldn;t be able to know amongst other things) which I would love to have, and she's also a vampire.
Beside the obvious fact that vampires are wicked cool (duh!) they are also strong and very difficult to kill AND they don't age (so no wrinkles or gray hair!!!).
This all seems awesome!
I wouldn't like the blood drinking or the sunlight avoiding, but if I was Drusilla I wouldn't think twice about draining a human.

Drusilla has a period of time where her health is bad and she's very weak, also she is a bit mental/crazy.
Because of this she sometimes behaves like a little girl, making sad face and sobbing sound and waving her hands in the air in a strange way.




When she's strong however, she doesn't look like a sad little girl at all!

She can be mean and show her teeth.



And she can smile in a horrifying way that tells you she's got something up her sleeve and that she's going to do something deadly and bloody to someone of her choosing.




Her hobby's:
-drinking fresh human blood
-causing mayhem
-misleading and torturing (preferrably) innocent people
-anything that pisses the slayer off
-having crazy tea partys with her dolls (which she also tortures)
-predicting the future and knowing things she shouldn't
-dressing up in classic clothes (flowing dresses, velvet, pearls) and doing her hair and make-up
-her boyfriend Spike

Close-up of the make-up:


I should have made the eye-brows darker, but I wasn't planning on wearing the wig so I made the brows match my hair color.

Everything I used (make-up and tools):


Everything I used for my face:


*Foundation Brush (HEMA)
*Allround Concealer Palette (Catrice)
*Purple Passion Transparent Mattifying Powder (Catrice)
*Professional Powder Brush (Catrice)
*Lasting Performance Foundation in 101 Ivory Beige (Max Factor)
*Velvet Touch Line Perfector (Gosh)
*White Grease Paint (Supra Colors)
*Concealer, I don't know what colour(DA)

What I used on my eyes:


*Eye Shadow Brush (HEMA)
*Blending Brush (HEMA)
*Eye Shadow Brush (HEMA)
*Eye Brow Pencil nr 11 (HEMA)
*Soft Kajal Eye Pencil in Black (Rimmel)
*Natural Touch Sensitive Eyes Mascara (Catrice)
*Velvet Touch Eye Primer (Gosh)
*Soft Eye Shadow Mono Velvet Matt in 060 Nude Beige (Catrice)
*Expert Wear Mono Eye Shadow in 05 Ice Fudged/Marron Glacé (Maybelline New York)
*Soft Eye Shadow Mono Velvet Matt in 030 Grey Stone (Catrice)
*Earth Spirits Eye Shadow in 110 Onyx (Max Factor)

What I used on my lips:

*Velvet Touch Lip Primer (Gosh)
*Kajal Designer in 120 Chocolate Brown (Catrice)
*Colour Gloss Lip Gloss in 080 Secret Mauve (Catrice)

How I made this look:
First I applie Velvet Touch Line Perfector (Gosh) all over my face and wait a few minutes.
I also applied the Velvet Touch Eye Primer (Gosh) on my whole eyelids (till the brow) and under my eyes and let it dry.

Then I used the DA concealer under my eyes to mask the dark circles, and then I took the Allround Concealer Palette (Catrice) and used the green concealer to cover any red areas (most of my face).
My face now looked a bit pasty with a greenish hue.

After that I mixed the foundation with the white grease paint in my hand, till I got a very white colour that still had skin tone and applied it to my face with the foundation brush.
I evened it out with my finger tips to make it more natural.

My face felt sticky because of the grease paint and it also looked shiny, so I set the foundation/grease paint with a lot of the Purple Passion Transparent Mattifying Powder (Catrice) (using the kabuki-like powder brush).

Now that was done, I could start on the eyes.
First I applied Soft Eye Shadow Mono Velvet Matt in 060 Nude Beige (Catrice) on the whole lid and in the crease.
Then I applied a little of Expert Wear Mono Eye Shadow in 05 Ice Fudged/Marron Glacé (Maybelline New York) on the lid over the light eye shadow but not too much) and made a thick wing with it (till my brow).
I also applied a little in the crease.
I blended it all and then I used Soft Eye Shadow Mono Velvet Matt in 030 Grey Stone (Catrice) on my outer v, on half 2/3 of the wing and a bit in the crease.
Then I blended it all together.
Now I used Earth Spirits Eye Shadow in 110 Onyx (Max Factor) on the outer part of the wing to define the wing as a bit of a liner (though very wide).
I blended everything together and added more eye shadow where needed to make it into a nice, blended whole.

After I was done with the eye shadow, I used the Soft Kajal Eye Pencil in Black (Rimmel) on my upper and lower waterlines, and applied the Natural Touch Sensitive Eyes Mascara (Catrice) to my lashes.

After that I used the Eye Brow Pencil nr 11 (HEMA) to make my eye brows fuller and darker.

Now all that I needed to do were the lips.
I put some Velvet Touch Lip Primer (Gosh) on my lips and let it dry.
Then I line my lips with Kajal Designer in 120 Chocolate Brown (Catrice) and smudged it so it didn't look as dark.
And last but not least, I applied the Colour Gloss Lip Gloss in 080 Secret Mauve (Catrice).

When the make-up was done I changed into a black gothic dress, put on a necklace that matches the theme and I put on a long black wig to finish the look.


I hope you liked this look even though the pictures aren't that great (bad lighting).

What Villain would you be if you could play any Villain in a movie?

Until next time,

Freya

Mini Give-Away

Hey all!
I bet you've noticed I haven't been blogging a lot lately, and the reason is that my mom has my camera at the moment and I usually blog about things that need pics (like NOTD's, swatches, reviews, think I baked/cooked, hauls, etc.) so that's not possible at the moment.

I will still try to post some things I don't need to make pictures of, so my blog won't be dead :D.

Anyway, I decided I wanted to have a small give-away at 5 followers (and I currently have 3, so I will need 2 more) and a larger one at 10 followers, just to keep things exciting.

I will start today or tomorrow, with putting together a package to give-away at 5 followers.

So, spread the word and the give-away will be soon ;).

Until next time,

Freya
