Mechanical Arm Makeup

The reason why special effects makeup intrigues me is how you can use makeup to create something unreal. After watching so many youtube videos of transformations of movie characters and Halloween creations it just looks so awesome, from the before and after aspects!

I've recently been drawing on my hand/arm copying henna prints and I thought why not try the robot/mechanical arm makeup Ive seen a couple of people do.

There are so many creations of the robot arm, and I wanted something not too intensely detailed or too simple, so I did find this picture of a mechanical tattoo and I thought it wouldnt be too hard to copy the cogs and pipes and the tone wasnt too scary. And come on, Im not creative enough to think of my own design!

First starting off, I used a white eyeliner pencil to sketch the main shapes then went on to the detailed parts. I started with white since it was a lot easier to fix up if I messed up and also drawing on top of it with black liner makes it a great template!

Next I used my MAC Fluidline and RT Silicone Liner brush to outline everything and then I got into shading and tonal work.

The white reflective parts were from the white eyeliner pencil which I made sure to colour in wherever the white would show in the reference picture.

I did have a tissue with me since the brushes I was using required me to wipe off the excess liner!

I started from the right working towards the left.

I did have trouble toning the cogs which you can see the crappy blending and off colour, whoops D:

The gel liner literally dried on the skin so quickly so I pretty much had 5 seconds to blend before it was set. 

The last thing I did was putting in some extra details by the edges to make it look like it was apart of my arm, but lets face it, it doesnt really look like that, it just makes it look better imo!

But I started off using gel liner, but the blending was frustrating me so I was using a cotton bud to quickly blend it and also added some black eyeshadow with a blending brush to darken it up a bit.

Products/Tools Used:

-Missha White Eyeliner Pencil

-MAC Blacktrack Fluidline 

-Essence Black Eyeshadow

-Real Techniques Silicone Liner Brush

-Maybelline Gel Liner Brush

-Sigma Tapered Blending E40

-Cotton Buds

 The entire thing took me 3 hours to do, very very time consuming but I was watching youtube videos and New Girl as I have to multitask whenever im doing anything especially watching videos.

Will probably trying something similar again as it is quite a fun thing to do for me so if you guys have any suggestions in what I could do next that would be good! 

HyunA Ice-Cream MV Eye Makeup

Recently HyunA came out with a new MV for Ice-Cream, to be honest I don't really like the song but HyunA was so pretty in the music video! 

She had different looks for different scenes and the eye makeup I did was when she was by the icecream truck. There were a few other makeup looks but this one stood out to me the most!

The stars shows the eyeshadows I used for this look.

 For the eyeshadow I'll be using my 48 Eyeshadow Pallette by DB which my friend got me as a birthday present last year! I actually rarely use it since I don't use shimmery eyeshadows or bright colours. Starting to use it more now.

Also if you're wondering, I'm using my Ecotools Eyeshadow brush to apply most of the eyeshadows and I'm using a gel eyeliner brush that comes with the Maybelline gel eyeliner to make a wing.

Step 1: Apply your base

Using my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk" I applied it all around my eyes blending it up to the crease.

Step 2:  Orange eyeshadow 

Using my eyeshadow brush, mixing and applying colours 1&2 to the inner corners and blending it up to the crease. Afterwards using the tip of the eyeshadow brush to extend the orange eyeshadow halfway on the lower lashline.

Step 3: Light Blue eyeshadow

Mixing colours 1&2 together to create a light blue shade. I applied it all over the lid and up to the crease, blending in with the orange to create a transition effect.

Step 4: Dark blue eyeshadow

Mixing colours 1,2& a bit of 3. Using the tip of the eyeshadow brush, apply the eyeshadow to the outer lower lashine and extending the line towards the lighter blue shadow.

Step 5: Eyeliner

Using my Rimmel Glam' Eyes Professional Liquid Liner, lining my eyes except stopping at the end of where my lashes are.

Step 6: The wing

Using a black eyeshadow and a small eyeliner brush, make a wing that extends from the end of the liquid eyeliner then straight across then connect the tip to the bottom lashline.

Step 7: Pencil Eyeliner

Using my Milani Liquif'eye black pencil eyeliner, line the entire waterline then the inner corners.

Step 8: Mascara

Curling my lashes then applying Maybelline The Falsies to the top and bottom lashes.

And then you're finished! 

I was going to make a video version of this tutorial, except I still havent found the right position to put my camera and film, so just wait until I buy a tripod and one day I will start making beauty videos!

Rainbow Eye Makeup

You can't really see the green nor purple :(

Products Used:

-DB 48 Colour Eyeshadow Pallette

-Essence Kajal Pencil in 17 Neon Sweetie

-Sportgirl To The Point Liquid Eyeliner

-DB Black Kohl Pencil

-Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

So I was playing with my essence yellow eyeliner since I never actually used it so I really wanted to see what it would just look like with just black eyeliner but I ended up putting yellow eyeshadow over it  and using the eyeliner itself as a base, but I then somehow continued building up the colours by putting a coral red in my crease and outer V and then putting orange in the inner eyelid area.

I then put green eyeshadow on the inner lashline and blue on the outer part.

The inner corners were missing something so I put a purple which ended up not looking so well...

But I lined the top lid thinly with my Sportgirl eyeliner and lined the bottom with my DB black eyeliner pencil and then curled and added mascara.

Im actually really happy with the results since I do have asian eyes so it is quite hard for me to do eyeshadow looks and this is the first time it turned out well (: 

&& No I will not do a tutorial since this look wasnt planned and I did do random stuff to it and added random colours in.
