Another contest entry for Princess Pinkcat's Rock the runway contest ...

So this is my second entry for Princess Pinkcat's "Rock the runway" contest and this one, as you can see, is a lot more extravagant that the last. This time I actually did have a rock star as inspiration. Who better, than Toyah Wilcox??

I found this picture by pure coincidence while looking for a picture of her with mad, crazy, colourful make up - the type of make up she used to wear when she was a hit punk rocker in the 80s! But instead - I came across this. It might be a recent picture of her as an actress instead of a punk rocker, but I think it's totally legit for the runway!

I have to say, this contest entry took me the longest to do out of all of them. Even longer than that Venetian Mask that I did, if anyone knows what I'm on about. That one had loads of dots to put around the design, and I thought that was intricate work. Although it may not seem difficult to do (and probably isn't for those of you who were born artists) but the line design on the forehead took me forever to do! And I used a new special little technique that I've recently learnt (im probably late with it, I always am lol) ;) ... but it still took forever, 'cause I just could NOT do the little swirl bit. So I decided to give up and alter the design a bit. You can tell...

I was so not in the mood for make up when I woke up this morning. I had a shower, spent some time with the mother (Happy Mother's Day =D) and then I saw myself in the mirror and thought 'AHH! NEED MAKE UP!' haha... so I started playing around with my 120 pro palette, trying to come up with something and created this look:

The standard of everyone elses entries are amazing and extravagant so I wanted to keep it simple to show that 'Rocking the Runway' doesn't always mean extravagant... having said that I don't think I'll win coz as I said, everyone elses is so amazing! But I'm glad I entered! PrincessPinkcat was my first ever subscriber so from here on out, I will enter every single one of her contests!! Lol ... This wasn't really my original idea but maybe I'll enter with that later on as she's extended the contest hehe. So for now, this is my entry! =D

Thanks again to PrincessPinkcat for holding the contest, and good luck to everyone who's entered! =D

Smokey Chocolate...

...and no I dont mean that literally lol. I did a new tutorial today and it's for the look that I was wearing in my Feb's Fab Faves! video.

I got fed up of wearing black eyeshadow all over my eye so I thought I'd go for brown instead, and it's turned out better than the black... I think so anyway =P

Personally... I would wear this look during the day (as with the all black look). But the all black look can border on emo if you wear it too dark or wear it too much! Lol... Not that that's a bad thing ... I have nothing against emo's ;) ... but I get bored easily - well, when it comes to make up anyway (always need a new look)! Haha =P  ... But yeah as I was saying - I would definitley wear this look out and about during the day, just because it is a lot more toned down than the all black. But don't get me wrong... I still think the all black look is totally sexy, but Im not planning on seducing anyone, anytime soon! ... Or am I? ;P

So anyways moving on... this look, I find, is a lot more simple to do than the Valentines Day Tutorial 2- Sexy black and red smokey eye! and it only involes using a few products too:

1. 
   
   Barry M Dazzle Dust - DD53 Chocolate (or any other dark brown eyeshadow you may have that has slight shimmer in it with a copper undertone)
2. 
   
   120 Pro Palette - Copper colour (or any other copper you may have - doesn't need to be shimmery or anything... just as long as it's copper)
3. 
   
   Barry M Kohl Pencil - KP1 Black (or basically just a standard black eye liner - you can use pencil, liquid, gel ... anything!)
4. 
   
   L'oreal double extension mascara - beauty tubes technology (or any other mascara of your choice =] )

And that's everything you need! So once you've got all of that, click here to find out how to get the look and you're ready! - There's also a little cheeky wink from me to you in that video too ... just coz I felt cheeky ;) haha
