Hawaiian Luau Makeup



Some friends of mine had a Hawaiian Luau this summer, which I saw as a great opportunity to have fun with some of my brighter eyeshadow colors.




This palette from NYX is so versatile. I can use it for everyday, more natural looks and it was also great for the colorful look that I put together for the luau.




I've never been to Hawaii (although I'd love to go someday) so I based my look off the beautiful sunsets, flowers, and bodies of water found in pictures.




This ELF palette was super reasonable and has colors that aren't always easy to find (like yellow)

P!nk | Just Like Fire | Inspired Makeup

Makeup inspired by the new Alice Through the Looking Glass movie.
With Johnny Depp reprising his role as the Mad Hatter, and P!nk performing the hit song 
'Just Like Fire' for the soundtrack it is a perfect combination.




P!nk's makeup from her music video inspired me to take my own journey 
through the looking glass (minus the pink hair)

I usually don't recommend that much blue shadow under your eyes, as it makes you
look extra tired, but for this look it's a must.



My pink shadow has a slightly more purple undertone to it than 
P!nk's in the video but you get the idea.



My Make Up Forever Artist Palette was essential for this look.

Civil War | Spider-Man, Falcon & Black Panther Makeup

Triple Feature!

In the interest of wrapping up my Marvel inspired looks, here are the last three together :)
 
Spider-Man 


 Everyone's favorite underdog, and it seems like we have new Spidy/Peter Parker every couple years.
In Civil War our new Spidy is played by Tom Holland. And he is the newest recruit for Team Iron Man.




 Keeping with Spider-Man's signature blue and red, I used NYX Primal Color
as my base and drew a spiderweb with Maybelline Color Tattoo.



On the opposite side I went for straight up color and blending.


  
Products:

NYX: Primal Colors in Hot Red 
Tru Rituals Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush 
NYX: Avant Pop Art Throb Palette 
Real Techniques: Deluxe Crease Brush
Maybelline: Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal in Electric Blue
Real Techniques: Fine Liner Brush
Sally Girl: Eyeshadow in Navy
Real Techniques: Base Shadow Brush
Avon: Spectra Define in Navy
Luxie: 221 Flat Definer Brush
Benefit: Roller Lash Mascara
Luxie: 504 Large Angled Brush
NYX: Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo 


Video here:





Falcon

 Sam Wilson, Cap's bud and a pretty tough dude in Civil War.
His character is portrayed by the clever Anthony Mackie.




Falcon has impressive wings to fly around for an aerial attack so 
I incorporated mega winged shadow with the color of his goggles and
this was the result.



Attempting to get the wings even on both sides was a challenge.
 


Products:

NYX: Primal Colors in Hot Red
Tru Rituals Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush
MAC: Black Tied Eyeshadow
Beautique: Eyeliner Pencil in Black
Real Techniques: Deluxe Crease Brush
Real Techniques: Base Shadow Brush
Clinique: High Impact Mascara

Real Techniques: Sculpting Brush
Sonia Kashuk: Synthetic Domed Multipurpose Brush - No 16
L’Oreal: True Match Super Blendable Blush in Baby Blossom
 NYX: Round Case Lipstick in Snow White

Black Panther

 New to the lineup is Black Panther. Authorities on the matter say he is neutral, I think he was 
definitely Team Iron Man, so draw your own conclusion on his affiliation lol.
 Black Panther is played by actor Chadwick Boseman.




Since he's a panther, I went with a major cat eye with silver and black



 I used glitter and Vaseline to make a silver lip color.
And slapped on some whiskers with eyeliner.

Thank you for checking out this triple feature and for going through

Civil War | Ant Man Inspired Makeup


Ant Man, the comic relief of the film.
He can shrink to the size of an ant, a power that seemed rather useless to me
until I saw him in the movie.
Turns out that power makes him a valuable asset on Team Cap





Ant Man is portrayed by the very funny Paul Rudd.





Ant Man's colors are very similar to the rest of the Marvel cast; red, grays, silver and, black.





Tried to capture the detail of Ant Man's mask with the red eyeshadow.

NYX: Primal Colors in Hot Red
Tru Rituals Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush
MAC: 217 Blending Brush
Avon: Glimmersticks in Saturn Gray G02
