Film Noir Makeup look with Morgana Cryptoria

This is a type of look that I LOVE doing. I always get compliments with this and I hear a lot that it looks very film noir even though that hasn't been my intention. We've all seen the romantic black and white movies where the main actress has dark, dreamy makeup that makes her eyes look HUGE. The way the movies are filmed also gives their face a moonlit glow that is hauntingly beautiful.
So if anyone likes this look and would like me to do a tutorial on how to do it, lemme know and I will try to bang one out this week. :-)


 I used photoshop to create the defused glow. It only effected my skin and whites of my eyes, not the makeup.

 I swear I hate the internet sometimes. This was the best picture I could find to describe the look I'm talking about and it's not quite it. *sigh*

  4. OMIGAH! You have no idea how much I love this look! I LOVE film Noir, my cousin and I were just talking about it a couple weeks ago because we felt we were the only ones who watch that genre nowadays. We were talking about how hilarious Old lace and Arsenic was haha.

  5. That's one of the most gorgeous looks I've seen in a long time! All of the eye looks you put out are seriously awesome (I look forward to your posts and then sigh to myself that I'm not able to emulate them yet...) but there's something really special about this one. Superb job!

  9. I have a request - purple text on dark background is very tiring to my eyes - could it perhaps be white text on dark background?
    Thanks,
    Liis
    PS! Makeup is impressive too :)

    I may do a few variations on this look with tutorials, so you can see the different ways to do it and use different colours.
