Makeup Revolution Atomic Shades

Hei Ghouls!



So recently e discovered this brand called Makeup Revolution and at first everything seemed way too good to be true. Their prices are super low! And their products seemed too good to match the price, the lipsticks specially caught my eye. So I decided to give it a try and ordered the Atomic Shades collection: 5 lipsticks, 2 purples, 1 green, 1 red and 1 brown.

Here are the swatches:

 Make it Right

I bet you miss my webcam spam.. No? Okay..

Really late Halloween post

Hey Ghouls,

I sure have been neglecting my blog.. I've been  having a really shitty time lately, the worst I've been in the last few years, so I 've been restraining myself to write anything, I'm pretty sure I would regret it later. I'm too beat-up emotionally to say anything decent.

So, changing the subject to something a bit happier,  Halloween! Halloween was that bright day I was in desesperate need to lift my spirit a bit. And I got to celebrate it twice!
On the 31, I went to ZombieWalk Lisbon with my love and a couple of friends.

 I did our makeup, and I had so much fun doing it! Even with only one eye opened. We won the prize for best zombies :D

Some group shots
(some photos were taken by Lobster Leyla ^^)

Then on November 2nd, Saturday, we got to celebrate Halloween again at the local goth club :D I didn't want to repeat the zombie look, so I had to do some quick thinking on what to for our makeup (which I hate). I ended up making a cute/cartoonish skull for me and a bit more realistic one for Daki. I didn't have much time to make them so they didn't turn out as realistic has I was hoping for (I'm always on the run!).

And some group photos of the night.


Oh! did you noticed my hair was black? I really needed to give it a rest from bleaching, I'm getting used to it now, but I miss my crazy colors :(

Chameleons Vox show + MUOTD 13

Yesterday was the Chameleons Vox concert in Portugal, in a place kinda in the middle of nowhere but not that far from Lisbon.
The show was completely free entrance because it was a part of a fair/carnival that was going on on that little town, which was pretty random :D The fair was filled with terrible and tacky popular music, carroussels, bliking lights everywhere and all the fried food you can imagine. It was pretty hilarious to see the confused looks on the locals to see so many goths hangin around. The vast majority were unaware of the Chameleons existence.

For some reason I never take photos of the shows, at the time I'm too spaced out enjoying them, so I never have actually photos of the events to share :D

Well, have some pictures of my makeup for that nigh.

MUOTD 12 with Speed Tutorial

Wore this dramatic B&W look for a friend's birthday party ^^

I wanted to test my camera's video quality, so I decided to record myself while doing the make-up, The camera actually has pretty good quality, but it looks like crap in here, I really have to play with the settings some more and learn to master a good video editing software. I'm currently using Pinnacle Studio.. not sure it it's the best one.

And after watching the video I realized that I really should have done the right eye first, but heck.. it was just my first attempt.

For a next video I'm thinking about making a tutorial for my purple hair, the dye I use is actually self-made ^^

MUOTD 9 - Casual Doll

My "casual" doll look :D Probably not so casual for some,  but for me a more "costumy" doll makeup would be full blown drama. Buttom lashes were drawn with a really thin brush and gel eyeliner, it's an awesome alternative to fake eyelashes, if you have a steady hand and the right brush.Works perfectly with the dolly look.

Btw, I'm not really THAT pale, but my webcam really washes me out!

MUOTD 5 - Black black heart makeup

First makeup look of 2013 ^^

B&W eye - powder eyeshadow on top of cream eyeshadow to create a whiter white and a blacker black. Eyeliner and natural fluffy lashes. 

For the lips - greyish purple lipstick on top and bottom corners smudged to the middle. And of course, to finish it of, for a whimsical look you just have to draw some little hearts or dots or bats or spiderwebs... uuuh, I'll be doing some of those for the next posts ^^

MUOTD 4 - Dark Sailormoon Inspired Makeup

Argh, haven't posted anything for awhile! Altough I have been drawing almost non stop everytime I get some free time, so that's a good reason for neglecting my blog ^^

I'll just update with some crappy webcam shots of my makeup today.

And here's an extra of me discovering new uses for my plugs - pencil holders, of course! When you're drawing it comes pretty handy, the back of your ear only holds one :D

Tea with Alice

A couple of days ago me and a couple of friends went to the "Tea with Alice" exhibit at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon (it's going to be there 'till February 2013). Celebrating the 150^th anniversary of the first telling of the story by Lewis Carroll to the real Alice, the exhibition shows nearly 100 original illustrations of some of the most acclaimed contemporary editions of the book, illustrated by 21 artists from around the world. 

It's a small but pretty inspiring exhibit. The artworks are not hanged on the wall, as usual, but instead they are layed down on top of cute tea tables of all sizes and there are quotes of the book written in the walls. If you have the opportunity go check it out, it's worth it and it's free entrance! I think the exhibit is going to move back to London in March, but I'm not sure. If you want to want more about the it go here.

And this is what I looked like, I was in the wonderland mood, so I wore my new hat with little ears ^^ Pretty cozy and warm, perfect for this freezing weather. I also bought some new plugs, they are silicone and super plain but SO confortable, I had an hard time sleeping with my other plugs, they were hard plastic and they hurt my neck when I was laying down, I had to take them off :\

Look for the day + Goodreads

Yesh, yesh, I know I said I would probably post the hair horn tutorial this past weekend, but I didn't had the time ;___; I'm not even sure if I should do a picture or a video tutorial... I'll figure it out once I'm doing it. Instead I'll leave you a random make-up I wore some time ago. You can never go wrong with green + purple! It's a color combination that makes me happy and reminds me of Halloween for some reason.

Meanwhile I made a Goodreads account, you can add my profile HERE, and hopefully suggest me some good books :D

And now I'll just dive into Junji Ito's Uzumaki again. If you're a manga and especially an horror fan, I strongly suggest you to take a look at Junji's work, that man is a freak! :D That's some f*cked up manga right there, I'm loving it ^^

*spirals away!*

MOTD 3 - No eyebrows makeup

I was lazy and not in the mood to draw my eyebrows, I just wanted something simple to go out do some grocerie shopping, but it got a little out of hand :P To be honest a simple makeup doesn't really look that good with no eyebrows :X And I feel prettier lookin weird anyway ^^

MUOTD 2 - Zombina Makeup

Pretty "normie" makeup ^^ Purple and green eyeshadow for the eye + black eyeliner. Full on red lipstick on the top lip, and just a bit at the bottom corners, then smudged to the mid section.

I still have purple hair, for some reason the red part of my bangs were covering the purple, so the eyebrows look a little off here :P

MUOTD 1 - Sunset makeup + replying to comments

Makeup I used to do often when I had my old hair, I think it matched perfectly ^^ Lately I haven't dolled up much so I have to post old pics D: And I've been feeling ill for this past couple of days, so at the moment I'm lookin like a mess :(

I've also wanted to clarify, that for some unfamiliar reason to me, my blog doesn't have a "reply to comment" button, so although I appreciate all the comments made, I can't answer them. So, thank you for the people who have been commenting! I'm not rude I promise, teehee :D

Celebrate Bisexuality Day

Today is Bi Pride Day a.k.a. Celebrate Bisexuality Day :) and it's celebrated worlwide on September 23, the day of Sigmund Freud's death (73 years ago), since Freud was the first theorist who spoke of the existence of bisexuality. Freud believed that all humans were bisexual, by which he primarily meant that everyone incorporates aspects of both sexes, and that everyone is sexually attracted to both sexes. In his view, this was true anatomically and therefore also mentally and psychologically. Heterosexuality and homosexuality both developed from this original bisexual disposition.
But anyway! Bi day is important to make the bi community more visible, fight biphobia and share some love!
You can learn more about it here: http://september23.bi.org/

 And so, today I decided to make a simple Bi flag inspired makeup as a mini celebration ^^
