Make-up that's out of this world



This look is wonderful because its one you can make it all your own. If needed find a space picture that calls to you or you would like to make your own. Ill get you started.

What you'll need
Desired color eyeshadow for this blog
    blue
    dark blue
    black
    shimmery white
     purple
    Dark green
Concealer or desired make-up primer
Lash glue
white Rhinestones multi sizes
eye shadow brushes/ tooth pic
Eye liner/gel liner
white paint
glitter
With this take it slow start with soft subtle colors and apply shadow in layers if you apply too much or rush it you will have to clean off and start over completely. Take it slow.

Apply concealer over desired area for this blog I am going to do a cosmic mask over both eyes and nose. With my shimmery white eye shadow I am going to create a milky way. Over my right eye I am going to create a backwards S shape starting with the arch section of my eye bringing it down under my eye and back towards my ear. I'm going to take the same white and create a crescent shape starting at the top of my nose and over my left eye brow arch and around my eye along my cheek bone fading into my nose, with the white still in hand I'm going to add small distant milky way balls maybe one above an eye brow another along my hair line or maybe a larger single one. Taking the lighter blue color I am going to fill in the entire space I want for my mask and over my eye lids leaving the white milky way swirls untouched. Layering as I go to create darker and lighter shades. Now with the dark blue and dark green I am going to go through again and add dimension to my eye lids and mask fading one color into another and using layers and swirls of colors from sections coming out of my milky way. As long as you take your time you really cant go wrong its your Galaxy. Taking the black I am going to go along the bottom outside of the mask layering it as I go shading it into the mask and applying it where i would like my Galaxy to be blackened with windows of space. Taking my purple I'm going to go through and use as a highlighter throughout to give brilliant pops of color. Taking the white again I am going to go through my milky ways to secure the color. With my black eye liner following my water line I am going to create a subtle liner if you want a more dramatic look play with it however your Galaxy calls for. After applying a few coats of mascara or fabulous space like false lashes I am going to go through with my lash glue and multiple sized Rhinestone or some rhinestones and white paint with a tooth pic to create the beautiful starry skies. Taking your glitter apply throughout your milky way swirls and over your stars. Hopefully this gets you started on your way to finding your Galaxy and creating your own universe. Celebrate yourself  your universe is yours for the taking. ENJOY


The next two tutorials I will not list a what you will need because it all varies on what you have available but I will list in the tutorials the tools used.

For space like lips find a stencil, stocking or lace that you feel fits the look you want. There are a few ways you can go about it. (optional) Start with black eye liner/lipstick tracing your lips and filling in completely. Place stencil tool over your lips and add color and remove, place stencil over your lips again in a slightly different place and add a different color continue this until desired look is complete for a starry look add glitter and your finished. Another way is to just start applying colors with stencil including a black color throughout. Another way is to apply the black eyeliner/lipstick, taking a colored tinted glitter gloss or glitter added to a tinted gloss over the black liner for a cosmic look.


Nails : These are fun, Choosing nail polishes with glitter i prefer polish with different size glitter and a solid black color, you can use solid colors and a glitter top coat(which is the way I will be showing you). Now the colors are up to and how you want your galaxy to look. apply a solid black polish to nails depending on the polish it may need a few coats. On a surface that you don't mind trashing poor a small amount of the polish and begin using the darker color polish on sat surface with a small sponge and dab along your nails. Repeat this process with each color going lighter and lighter as a highlighter I recommend only two colors but it is your galaxy. After applying the second highlight color and it dries go over it with glitter polish a glitter polish with a tint of color is fun to use as well. If polishes are limited you can simply use a solid black and a tinted glitter polish. Your done you are ready to party like shooting star.

A tailor maid friendship childrens book inspired look

As a child my favorite book was called a tailor made friendship. It was about a little girl who wakes up in a world of fabric the entire world is like a quilt. All of her new found friends are patched fabric animals. In the end she wakes up and her grandmother has surprised her with all her new friends as stuffed animals on her bed. I loved it.

What you'll need
What ever colors you would like to use face paint.
Makeup and face painting brushes
Eye liner/gel liner
Optional a stencil or decorative stockings
False eye lashes optional
Lash glue optional
Rhinestones optional

To begin depending on the mask you want completely cover your face(optional) and along your jaw line with white face paint. With your liquid eyeliner or black face paint with a edge liner brush create the patch look. It doesn't need to be detailed just a layout of the patch squares. Make it yours draw circles in one, lace around the outside of another, X's throughout or solid colors for another this is also where the stenciling can be fun or pulling your stockings over your head and press the color with a blush brush be very careful in removing the stocking/tights for a more detailed look apply a color first, pull stocking/tights over face and press the second color over the stockings/tights. Next apply the color for each individual patch. At this point apply the false lashes if you want to add some fun to your look. Taking your liquid liner or black paint and edge liner brush draw a like from your hairline along your jaw to the hairline atop your other ear. Draw  large stitch marks along this line and smaller stitch marks around your patches unless you added a lace outline.

A keepsake for a memorable evening




You've taken the time to follow my mask tutorial, painted your face with dear elegance and style the evening was magical and you hate to see it end. The makeup will however run and fade and will need to come off how to hold on to that .......

What you'll need
I prefer plaster bandage or gauze                           
Vaseline
All the makeup you used on the look your wish to re-create
I like a large nail file
Head band
Bowl of water
Scissors
Slick hair away from your face and put a head band in to secure hair form getting in your way. Using a healthy dose of Vaseline cover your clean face trust me you will want more then less especially over eye brows, lashes and hair line etc. Cut into small bandage like strips  dipping each individual strip into water and place on your face. Create an even thick layer breathing through your nose. try to insure  an even layer across your face leave it on until it is completely dry. To remove scrunch and wiggle your face to detach it from your face it takes some pulling by hand. Taking more strips fill in nose hole and eye holes if desired. Let the mask sit and dry completely. Trim around your mask for a smooth angelic like appearance trim desired shape If you want just a half mask . Taking your nail file file along the mask to make it smooth without bumps. Cover mask with a few layers of white face paint.for a smooth surface for your decorative paint to be applied. Recreate the enchanting mask to hold for ever. This can also be handy to practice your makeup technique for the big night.

Elegant Party Mask without the discomfort

What you will need
Black or desired color rhinestones
Lash glue
False eye lashes
Black lipstick
Black eye liner
Black eye shadow
Desired color of dazzle dust
Thin eye shadow brush


Taking your eye liner draw the desired shape of a mask you would like to wear on your face or if needed get someone to help you with this. Taking your black lipstick fill in the mask completely leaving of course the eye holes untouched.("The eye holes were my idea" desert star's playhouse Zorro quote for the fam) and go over your mask with black eye shadow. Taking your black eye liner go back over and define the mask again for clean crisp lines. Apply eye liner if your mask is a cat eye like shape creating an angled eye is recommended and like wise a circle eye hole is great with a natural eye liner look. Apply eye liner to your water line or lower lash line and if desired create small lash strokes with your liner to extend your bottom lashes to make your eyes pop. Apply your false eye lashes if they are new gently bend them around a bit so that they will adapt to your eye shape. Taking your dazzle dust or pigment and create desired designs on your mask you can create a mirror effect or your own design on either side of your mask its up to you. Taking the back of your eye shadow brush apply small dots of Lash glue to your skin just out side your mask around your mask I recommend doing 5 dots at a time and then applying the rhinestones or your glue may dry before you are done. Once you have bordered your mask with the rhinestones your finished. Like I always say make it your own it doesn't have to be black add the rhinestones atop your mask. Another fun trick for face painting is to lay a some lace or any textured or cut out shape and lay it securely on your face and paint or dazzle over that onto your skin or painted skin. Feathers like the picture just bellow can be purchased I believe i got mine at Micheal's crafts and added to a mask for a lovely addition  just have fun and enjoy.
