1920s Chick Makeup #LOTD 2

After my inaugural "Look of the Day," I simply could not wait to jump into my sophomore effort. I got so much action on my first ever #lotd contribution to Instagram, that my head swelled to three times it's normal size.

While I was putting the finishing touches on this week's look, Greg came in to talk to me about something, but my back was to him. When I turned around and revealed my face, he couldn't stop cry/laughing. I'm happy to be your clown wife, Greg. He then asked me "did you do this because you watched The Craft yesterday?" Well, that's a trick question because everything I do is because of The Craft. Really, you should blame Greg for today's LOTD music video companion:

Actually, I was pulling inspiration from the 1920s. This chick is my muse:

These are my weapons of choice:

First I lined my eyes with black eyeshadow (Mac Carbon) using an angled liner brush from Ulta. I've learned that if you line your eyes all the way around with the darkest shade possible, it makes them pop.

Next I lined the black line with some matte plum shadow (Mac Intoxicate - dupe: Shadowy Lady). I always commit to mistakes I've made. This has served me well in makeup and in life too.

I then put a lighter plum all over my lids (Forever in Florence from the Sleek Vintage Romance palette). It sparkles in the pan, but does not sparkle on the face.

You're doing it Peter! It needs to be darker though, so I added some more of the Intoxicate with the expert precision of a 3 year old.

It's still not dark enough. So I added more. Then I added more. I have no idea how to blend so I added more.

For my lips, I applied a dark vampy lipstick (Nars Train Bleu) and avoided the corners because people had tiny mouths back then.

I pulled my hair up into a bun because I have no idea how I'm too lazy to figure out how my muse did her hair like that. She must have a lot of hair. I also know people had thinner eyebrows back then, so I did this:

It's my proprietary combination of NYX concealer + Smashbox eyelid primer. I can't use the primer for it's intended purpose because it makes my eyelids look like they're made out of leather, so I'm really happy that I got to do this.

I didn't want to look stupid so I didn't draw thinner eyebrows over my concealed eyebrows.

That would be crazy.

That's it! I hope you had as much fun as I did.

See you next time!
