I've Got Friends on the Other Side

***Wow, looky here, I've never ever, ever mentioned this GIVEAWAY in my blog...never ever. So you should...ignore it? WRONG! Please enter away and please note it may even be extended because of college madness, I'll be sure to keep you posted***

Now, onto my post! For today's look as a continuation of my Disney Villains look I did *drumroll* Dr. Facilier from "The Princess and the Frog." And I have to say I absolutely looooove his character, his voice, his song, ahhhh! I even sang his song "Friends on the Other Side" for an audition :3 which worked out nicely with my edging on baritone voice for singing, hahai'mamanwhat?hhahaha...anyway, this was kind of a more...creative interpretation of his character as opposed to a literal one.  

 Close-up on the eye

 The Doctor himself

 God, it was sooooo hard to get a decent picture of this, curse my ability or lack there of to capture a decent picture, stresss.  Anyway, I got a lot of my inspiration from Dr. Facilier's shadow (hence the shadowing/mirroring of the eyelashes) and some good old fashioned voodoo potions and things associated with all that jazz.  The color palette is derived from the character's colors (purple mainly).  I used Eyeko's purple eyeliner and Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in actually every purple color they make alongside liquid liner in Perversion.  The purple glitter was of the Nyx variety and the lashes are from EyesLipsFace.  The "smoke" was because of this character's frequent use of smoke and even glittery smoke :D.  I chose feather lashes because of some voodoo items that were in Facilier's parlor.  Voodoo for real creeps me out to no end, but when using cute feather lashes, it doesn't seem as scary...

My lip color was a mix of NAR's Lipstick in Funny Face and Revlon's Orchid with an unnamed (for real) Nyx Gloss that was magenta in color.  I darkened my eyebrows with NARS' Eyeshadow in Night Bird.  All of these villains have such dark brows!
   On another note, my blog keeps on getting referred by a goth dating site...what hell? I have some major confusion over that one.  Maybe it's because I'm into the Disney Villains, haha.  And otherwise I have been sups busy packing for college and buying for college and reading books when I should be looking at and memorizing monologues...whoops? And only two more days of work, eeeek! Summer went by oh so quickly. Until my next post...

Remember When I Had A Disney Villains Theme Going?

***ATTENTION annoying notice of my GIVEAWAY follows...oh, it just happened, never mind then...awkfest right here...and crickets chirp***

Soooooo, yeahhhh, I remember back in the day, I had a little Disney Villain theme a going? Yeaaaaaah, the whole Hades and Scar looks happened (links included if forgotten).  Yesterday..no, two days ago guess what was on?! ALADDIN! So, I have to obvi continue my villains look with a Jafar-inspired makeup look.  My color scheme was mainly black and red (Jafar's colors) and overall, I'm pretty happy with the look.

Jafar!

Ah, stress, I'm actually re-writing this portion because blogger got all screwed up, ARG! Anywhooo, eyes were a mix of Lime Crime's Magic Dusts in Siren and Diva.  Brow bone was Covergirl's Eye Enhancer in Golden Sunrise.  Brows were filled-in and enhanced with NARS' Eyeshadow in Night Bird.  Red eye detailing and upper lip liner was Harajuku Lovers Red Lip Pencil. My upper lip was finished with Eyeko's Liptastick in Hot Lips while the black was Lime Crime Lipstick in Styletto (a must-have black).

I finished off this look with a blushing (haha--pun..?) of NARS Powder in Nico.  

Haha, really bloodshot eyes going on...it was late and I don't have photoshop, haha.  Oooo, you can really seem my little eyebrow scar here.  Fun fact: I got it by running into a wall playing tag inside the house with my dad.  He didn't take me to get stitches until my mom got home, so it was too late and it scarred.  But, I love my scars so it's all good.
  So, if anyone has any Villains they are dying to see, please let me know :).  Otherwise, my other news was that I recently got a Beautylish account.  It's a fun site and if you don't have one, i suggest you check it out and see mine here :3
Alright, until later darlings!

Hades, Oh Wait, I Meant to Say "James Woods"

Sooooo, this is my second part of my Disney Villains series of looks, yaaaaaay.  I chose Hades from "Hercules" because I just had bought a great cheap turquoise eyeliner AND i was *gasp* watching Family Guy and one of the episodes with James Woods was on so obvi my series of thoughts would go James Woods->James Woods playing James Woods playing Hades playing James Woods, because honestly, that character is pretty much all Mr. Woods, haha.  Love it so much though and even though Meg is not teeechnically a "princess," she has one of the best songs.  I used to listen to it on tape during road trips over and over again, because we were going the distance, ahhhhhhh. 

 Wish I had some tooth coloring to do his creepy jagged teeth, alas, until a later day....

 This look was more of an.. "arty?" take on Hades using certain colors from his character and applying it not quite as literally as my Scar look.  After priming and prepping, I used MAC Eyeshadow in Forgery (silverish) as a base on my lid to brow and under my eye.  I marked out my brows a little with a Hot Topic Black Pencil and did just a mixture of blues from my Makeup Forever 12 Flash Color Case and a Hot Topic Turquoise Pencil.  My lip color was made in the same manner of mixing blues and some things were finished off with Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Ransom and Binge.  

Overall, I like the eye and the look, buuuuut I would and tried to take off the slightly awk glitter on the side of my cheekbones and such.  I mean, sometimes I look at it and really like it and sometimes I'm thinking I shouldn't have put it up because of the strange glitter.  But I was thinking Nyx Creme Glitter Palette in Ocean Breeze=similar to flames, yeaaah.

Be Prepared

Another lovely summer day at my volunteering/kind of job, haha.  I was listening to my ipod from my car to the Interact building and "Be Prepared" came on and I suddenly recalled my Scar makeup look I did this past weekend.  Scar has to be one of my favorite Disney villains (and not just because the love of my life, Jeremy Irons, did his voice).  I was, of course, very upset when Mufasa died but "Be Prepared" was my favorite "Lion King" song and I still loved Scar.  When I was little I called it "Scar's Tango" and literally watched it and rewatched it on VHS to a point of needing a new tape of the Lion King.  

So, I did a semi-literal approach to Scar makeup but not to the point of doing a lion's face :)

I wish the conturing I did on my face showed up better, but I did a lot of highlighting and shadowing to get a more feline (?) look by applying (with a sponge) Ben Nye Creme Highlight CH-0 Ultralite and Creme Shadow CS-3 Character Shadow.  BUT, as a base, I dusted my face with Urban Decay Baked Bronzer to get the whole tanner look, not that it worked on my uber pale skin :P.

 For the eyes, I followed the basic representation of scar in the movie with a dark black liner and filling in my eyebrows with black and then making a shape and filling in with a brown.  I used the Brown and Black from my Makeup Forever 12 Flash Color Case and filled in my lips with the same black.  I softened the  black out with some white on my lips, which was also there to kind of match the white beard-mane without an actual drawn beard.  The literal scar was drawn on with a mixture of Hot Topic Red Eye/Lip Pencil and the Coral color from the Flash Case.

 The song, actually one of the best Disney songs ever and fab in general.  Maybe I could wear it out on yourtube as well...

I teased my hair a bit to match Scar's mane, which is perfect because I have a slight widow's peak too! Has anyone noticed that grownup Simba has total 90's hair?

On another note...just a typical day at Interact, I love this place!

So, even though it now appears that there are a ton of Disney looks in the blog-o-sphere as of late I was thinking of doing a Disney villain theme of looks.  Sounds good?
