Zombiegasm: A tutorial

What's this, you say? Halloween is over?  You don't need Halloween to have Zombies!!!  Blarggghhhh!!! Braiiinnnssss!!!!!

On to business.

Assemble your products. NYX Shadow base in white, MSC Graveyard Garden from the Alice in Zombieland collection, The Zed Word, and You've Got Red on You (the last two from the Shaun of the Dead collection,) MSC Optimus Primer, UD Perversion liner, and IT Cosmetics mascara.

Assemble your brushes. Lash comb, Floofy blending brush, tapered crease brush, domed shadow brush, and angled shadow brush.

Start with a clean face! Since it's midnight, I used a baby wipe on my whole face (including lids,) to just wipe away any oil or goop from the day.

Now apply your Optimus Primer and NYX Shadow base, in that order.

Line your lower lash line with UD Perversion. You want a medium-thickness line.

Tap out a bit of The Zed Word and pick it up on your angled shadow brush.

Apply The Zed Word to your ducts, bringing it gently down to your lower lash line.  Please note, this color is a light champagne with a pink shift, so it's hard to photograph.

Next, take You've Got Red On You and pick it up with your tapered crease brush.  I rarely use this brush for my crease, instead preferring to use it to create mid-lid columns.

About those columns.  Mid lid with a good amount of coverage. Like, expect a little fall-out.

Now, using your domed shadow brush, pick up some Graveyard Garden. (LOL, I typed "Gravetard garden" twice.) Again, you want enough on your brush to create a deep coverage on your lid.

Apply with a slight curve on the outside of your lid.  Don't worry about it being messy.  That's what fingertips and blending are for. Oh, and I promise you, everyone who works with loose pigments has eyeballs that look like this before they begin to blend and clean up.  It's inevitable.

With your floofy brush, pick up a bit more of The Zed Word.  This time you're going to pick up quite a bit, since you're going to use it to blend out those columns, as well as a brow highlight.

Bring it up from your duct up to the brow, and then blend down.  After you've softened the top of those columns, you want to use a light windshield-wiper motion to blend You've Got Red On You into Graveyard Garden.  GG is a blurple anyway, but that spot between the two is going to turn out to be this beautiful deep purple.  Again, difficult to capture.

An attempt to catch The Zed Word.  It failed.

A better, if yellowish, look at the blending.

Finally! A good shot of that purple and The Zed Word!

Add your mascara...

Put your glasses on, and voila! You're set!

Robotic Waffle Ravens

I bet ya'll thought I forgot to do makeup, didn't you

I didn't.  I simply ran into about five months collective worth of technical difficulties that prevented me from sharing my pretties with you.

I'm happy to say, though, that I'm back with a vengeance.

Assemble thine tools!

Here we have UDPP depotted, NYX Eyeshadow Primer in White, MSC Raven Feathers, Blueberry Waffle, Birf'day Suit (did NOT end up being used,) and Mr. Roboto.  Also pictured is Wet 'n Wild MegaPlump mascara, Rimmel London kohl eyeliner in black, and Sephora mascara primer.  Assorted brushes, as well.

Start out with your UDPP and your NYX.  Not too opaque, this is a day look.

Pat the Blueberry Waffle using a fluffy angled brush all along your eye lid.

Using a pointed/domed crease brush, apply the Raven Feathers to the outer corner and up into the crease of your eyes.

Going from the ducts to your brow, use Mr. Roboto.  Also use Mr. Roboto to blend out the Raven Feathers into the Blueberry Waffle.

Apply your eyeliner in a tight line under your lower lashes.

Now go ahead and use your mascara primer.  I'm finding that despite being initially goopy, I really really like Sephora's.  Once it's dry, use a lash comb for definition.

Then go ahead and apply your mascara.  The mascara I used today was NOT waterproof, but I've noticed that with the mascara primer, it tends to be more water resistent.

Et voila! You have a lovely daytime look with a little bit of sultry on those beautiful peepers of yours.  Looks great with and without glasses!

Until next time, stay Madd, darlings!

It ain't easy being green! Quick and dirty style!

Hi there! After the tenth time watching Muppet Treasure Island, I was inspired by the many shades of Kermit the Frog.

Not pictured: UDPP, MSC Acid Bath, Oz, Lotus Bloom; NYX shadow base in white, generic black liner, MUFE smoky lash mascara.

Dab Acid Bath in your ducts, and bring Lotus Bloom out to your mid-pupils.

Bring the Oz in from inner corner to mid-pupil, and partially cut the crease.

Blendy blendy!

 Add your liner and mascara and Voila! A gorgeous green for your peepers based on THE peeper himself!

Orange you glad I didn't say bananna?

So, I make no secret of the fact that I don't like wearing oranges.  Just...don't. Not my comfort zone, not a color I really like, just not my thing.

That said, though, I decided to play around a little bit with a couple of MSC's oranges.

Products and tools!  Makeup Forever Smoky Lash in Black, Revlon Colorstay liner in black, NYX shadow base in white, MSC King Moonracer, Tiger's Blood, Strange Potion, and Unicorns and glitter.  Depotted UDPP at the bottom.  Varying sizes of blending brushes.

 Clean eye, primed with UDPP and prepped with NYX shadow base in white.

 Waterline done with black pencil.

 Apply Strange Potion to your inner corners and bring out about half-way through your pupils.  Make sure to pat, not rub when applying the pigment.

 Do the same with Tiger's Blood to your outer corners.

 GENTLY, BARELY blend the Strange Poison into the Tiger's Blood.  Add some King Moonracer to your ducts and line your lower lash line with it.  Highlight with Unicorns and Glitter.

 Photo is intentionally blurry - check out all that glitz, particularly King Moonracer and Unicorns and Glitter!

 A little further away, but blurred for the same effect!

 "Quoi?

 "Je suis timide..."

Stay Madd, darlings!
