Fantasy Make-up

Queen of hearts from alice in wonderland,
1. Cover the entire face in white( white clown paint) expect a portion of the lower lip. 
2.Using a a light blue cover the eyes.
3.Use a black liner to create high eyebrows up over the blue eyes.
4. To create long lashes attach eyelashes on the top lid and the bottom lid.
5. Use a black liner to create a mole.
6. A red lipstick is used to create cupid lips.


1.Begin by taking your first makeup sponge and applying a thin layer of white face paint, to tone down the natural color of your skin. You want to make sure that you pat the face paint on. This will help you apply the white paint evenly and also avoid any streaking. Use two shades of blue face paint to contour your face, a light blue and a dark blue. You can create the lighter blue color simply by adding a small amount of white to a portion of the dark blue paint and mix until you get your desired shade of blue.
2.Apply the dark blue color around the hairline, the inner corner of the eyes, and underneath the cheekbones and jaw line.
3.For this character, we need to create the illusion of a higher brow bone. Use the blue paint to cover your eyebrows. Once it's covered, draw a "new brow" using the top outline of your eyebrow as a guide with M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Typographic.  
4.Use the lighter blue to highlight the center of the forehead, cupids bow, bridge of the nose, outer corners of the eyes, tops of the cheekbones, center of the chin and temples. Don't forget to blend well with your makeup sponge.

5.Next, use your concealer brush to mimic an Avatar character's forehead stripes. Paint on the dark blue lines first and outline each stripe with light blue paint for a 3-D highlighting effect. Draw a dark blue stripe down the center of your forehead, toward the bridge of the nose to create a branching effect at the hairline.
6.You want to use an eye shadow to help "carve out" the shape of a higher crease and larger eye. Dip a flat, soft brush in matte electric blue eye shadow and "pack it" onto the eyelid in layers. We recommend using M.A.C. Highly-Pigmented Powder Eye Shadow in Electric Eel. Use a soft powder brush to sweep away falled shadow.
7.Add strips of false lashes to the upper lash line. But first, trim them at the outer corner to fit your eyes. Layer the top lashes with black mascara then, squeeze the false lashes with the real ones for staying power.

History of Make-up

1960s Make up
1960s make-up consisted of Dramatic eyes, featuring mascara used heavily, producing spiked lashes. Shadow is colored or dark. Skin is pale, often from foundation or powder called "translucent." Lips are pale or glittering, rarely showing dark shades. 


The Ancient Egyptian eye make up was extremely elaborate and created the almond eye look which has become synonymous with the Ancient Egyptians. Eye make up had a long history in Ancient Egypt and both men and women were using eye make as early as 4000BC. The eye make they used concentrated in providing color to their eye lashes, eye lids and eye brows. The favorite eye make up colors were black and green. The powders used to create the eye make up were ground on a palette then mixed with water to form a paste.
The girls of the decade(1980's) literally “painted” their faces on. The two defining makeup elements in the 80s face were bold eyes and blush meant to accentuate the cheek bones.  The more noticeable the eye shadow and the heavier the blush, the better you looked as far as 80s fashion was concerned. If your face didn’t look halfway clownish, you hadn't quite achieved the look yet.


During the early twenties cream or ivory colored face powder was used by most women. Later in the middle of the twenties a powder corresponding to the nature hue of skin - perhaps a nuance brighter - came in fashion. For rouge the colors rose, raspberry, and around 1925 also orange were popular.

My Style Icons


Dianna Vickers was first brought into the public eye on the xfactor, from day one i loved her natural gypsey look. Through out the past few years i've loved all her styles , i love the no effort look and the vintage style.  She keeps her look young and fresh and makes statements with her bold appearance. 

Nicola Roberts style and look is like marmite you either love it or hate it, and personally i love it. Her look over the past two years as changed alot from her girls aloud days. I like the stripped back red hair and pale skin and i can relate alot to her fair skin and hair. Her clothes make a big statement in the fashion world today i like her style of old vintage clothes and the way she mixes bold colors together and  makes a statement.Nicolas striking physical appearance once made her a victim of media abuse but  is now hailed by the fashion community as inspring , her artic doll like appearance sets her apart from the typical tanned blonde Stepford wives of pop. This is why i admire Nicola Roberts so much because she is  different and not scared to show it.

Whitney Port a star from the reality hit tv show the hills , inspired me with her girl next door look. Being a fashion student herself she always kept her style very smart and effortless. Whitney made her way up in the fashion world and now as her own line Whitney Eve. Her line is very vintage but smart. She is very well respected in the fashion industry. Her personality shines through her striking fashion sense.
