Le Mask

This is for the final round of Nikkie's YouTube's Next Top Guru Contest.

Finally!!!!

Although I'll miss the anxiety attacks of whether I made it to the next round or not. It was so much fun participating. I don't want it to end, I want to like...do a challenge every month! It forces you to go up and beyond what you're used to. I'm not used to anything and I never know how any of my looks will end up. I plan very poorly, I don't plan. I'm a procrastinator!!! We just do with what time we have left and go at it hoping it will turn out okay haha.

She said to just do what you're good at. I like eyeliner, I like sparkles, I like blue, I like sparkles, and I LOVE my new parisian corset thingy that I got from Frederick's of Hollywood. They're having a sale so check it out! I don't think the color I got is available anymore. I was inspired by the corset and did a look based off its complimentary color. Hence the look is made of some blue tones and lots and LOTS of eyeliner.

It took some work making it such a deep intense black yo. First I just used clinique black to fill it in then blended the edges out with a blue eyeshadow but in pictures you could see all the brush strokes. It wasn't as black as I wanted either sooo I mixed black eyeshadow with mac's miing medium. Mixing medium makes eyeshadow colors more vibrant and opaque. So I buffed that in then buffed on more black dry eyeshadow to take any sort of "sheen" away. And taadaa a black as hell eye! Mixing medium is not the same as usuing fix + or eye drops or water, trust me. I use all three and mixing medium is the BEST.

I hope I win ^_^ !
