Outfit of the day

This is a few weeks old. But I figured I would share it now before I get too behind on stuff I've neglected to post. I've just been really busy with work.

 

Not that you can see it well in these pictures, but I made the necklace: Winged Gear and Key Necklace

Not sure where I got the hat, I've had it for years.

Top is from http://stores.ebay.com/TheMOGAN-Clothing

The vest was purchased from eBay and I'm not sure what brand it is.

Bloomers were purchased from here: Desert Dancer Capris

Boots are NaNa brand. I don't think they make them anymore. I've had these for 8+ years.

Some eye makeup looks from a while ago.

Normally I post full face photos and close up eye photos, but recently, I did a couple chemical peels and my face was red and peeling for a while, so my full face photos were not very appealing. Since the eye looks are fine, I figured I'd share them with you.

 This first look was done using Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadow in Moondust (applied all over the lid/crease and the lower lash line). I then using NYX Vanilla Sky on the inner corner/V. The liner is Avon GLIMMERSTICKS Diamond Eyeliner in Sugar Plum. I finished it off with one coat of black mascara.

 

 For this look I used Morgana Cryptoria's Winifred all over the upper lid/crease. I mixed Morgana Cryptoria's Lady Godiva with Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue, lined the upper lash line and winged it out. I finished it off with one coat of mascara.

 

This last look was created using eyeshadows I made. If you are familiar with my shadow creations, you would know that I don't sell them (have no intention to) therefor they do not have names.

Please, please, please do not forget to vote 5 stars on my photo (Emily -Steampunked) on FB! http://www.facebook.com/JessicaDrossinTextures?sk=app_378128728935295&app_data={%22mid%22%3A13170}

American McGee's Alice Costume & Makeup

Happy Halloween! This costume and makeup look is what I wore last Friday and Saturday. My husband DJ's at an event that occurs usually once a month and we had our Halloween Spectacular on the 26th and a friend's house party on the 27th. Both were a lot of fun!

For my costume, I bought an American McGee's Alice dress, an Omega necklace and I used tights and boots I already had. I just happened to be at a Halloween shop that had a knife that was the right size and shape, similar to the Vorpal blade, so I bought it. It's a cheap piece of foam crap and on some parts, the paint was peeling off by the end of the night. Probably partially my fault. I was using it to spank my friends! Ha!

For the eye makeup I used products I already had from Morgana Cryptoria (she makes the best red eyeshadows!). I played both Alice video games like mad, so I felt confident that I could duplicate her makeup fairly well. I decided to go with how she looks in the second game: Madness Returns. In that one, Alice has blackened, smoky rusty red eye makeup with sort of natural glossy lips.  So that is what I went with. I didn't do anything different with my hair except part it down the middle.

 

 

 

 

Photo to show what she looks like for those of you who are unfamiliar with the game.

My full costume. :-)

 

Makeup:

Eyes (all applied in this order):
Coastal Scents Shadow worx eye primer (applied to upper lid, blending in gently with ring finger)

Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue (applied all around the eyes patting then rubbing in gently with ring finger) 

Morgana - Old Bloody Mary (applied just above the crease, outer V and lower lash line)
Morgana - Concubine (applied to crease by patting and blending upward. Also applied to lower lash line)
Morgana - Harbinger (applied to lid by patting and blending upward and outward. Also applied thinly to line the lower lash line)
Ardell Brow Defining Powder - Soft Black (applied to upper and lower lash line, inner corner and gently winged outward. I went over the upper lash line with a small shadow brush and blended it upward slightly)
NYX Jumbo Pencil - Milk (waterline)
NYX - Nude (applied under the brow and blended downward)

e.l.f. Studio 3-in-1 Mascara - Very Black

Eyebrows: Sobe Fill Me In Brow Filler - a mixture of Brunette and Raven (applied with MAC 266)

Lips: e.l.f. Studio Lip Balm SPF 15 - Plum

Face: 

Skin MD Shielding lotion

Sobe Powder Foundation - Light Warm (applied with Coastal Scents bionic buffer brush)

Sobe Tinted Illusionist (applied all over face/neck with a large powder brush) 

NYX blush - Taupe (applied just below the cheek bones to contour)

And the Winner of the Morgana Cryptoria giveaway is...
