Esme | The Slippery Slope: Part 1 | ASOUE | Makeup

Dear Reader,

The horrors you will encounter in this post are too numerous to list and you may prefer not to read it at all.

As a dedicated blogger, I have pledged to record and chronicle the depressing makeup of the Netflix adaption of A Series of Unfortunate Events. So I must delve deep into the cavernous depths of ASOUE. You on the other hand, may delve into some happier post.

(Paraphrased from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Eleventh: The Grim Grotto)

Now that we have kicked off Season three with Kit Snicket's makeup, we are on to the ever so "in" style of Esme Gigi Genevieve Squalor.

Her first look (whilst travelling through the Mortmain Mountains) is from the end of The Carnivorous Carnival in Season two. That tutorial is here

So we are starting with her first "official" makeup from Season three.

(Picture via my Netflix account. Lucy Punch as Esme Squalor from A Series of Unfortunate Events S3 E1 The Slippery Slope: Part 1)

Esme's first look is from the campground on top of Mount Fraught, where she is plotting with Count Olaf and the rest of his theater troupe.

And this is the makeup look we'll be recreating today (minus the pigtails, jewelry and fur snowsuit).

In case you are developing "Mount Fraught Syndrome" you can check out my step-by-step video tutorial here

What Will You Need?

1. Eyelid Primer & Gray and Silver Eyeshadows: Start with a thin layer of primer on lids and then press a gray shimmer shadow of outer 2/3 of the eyelid and top that with a silver shimmer eyeshadow.

2. Golden Bronze & Dark Gray Eyeshadow: Place a golden bronze-y shadow on the remaining 1/3 of the inner eye and then gently carve out the crease and the outer "v" of the eye with a matte gray eyeshadow, and blend.

3. Liquid Liner, White Liner & Black and Silver Shadow: Line upper lash line with a black liquid eyeliner pen and wing it out slightly, take a white eyeliner pencil and run it along the lower waterline, then use a black eyeshadow to trace the lower lash line to add intensity, then trace the silver shadow from the lids under the black shadow.

4. White Shadow, Lengthening Mascara & Dramatic Lashes: Take a shimmer white shadow and highlight the browbone, use a lengthening mascara on the top and bottom lashes, then apply false lashes, the cornerstone of any Esme look.

5. Contour Shade, Highlighter & Red Lipstick: Use a light brown shade to contour under cheekbones, then take a bright white highlighter and hit the tops of the cheekbones and under the eyes, finally, use a bright red liquid lipstick on the lips.

And...

Now you're ready to terrorize orphans on mountain tops while looking for the last safe place and the elusive sugar bowl.

Once again, you can check out the video tutorial for this look here

Kit Snicket | A Series of Unfortunate Events | Makeup

Dear Reader,

In order to spare yourself an further repulsion it would be best to click off this unpleasant post where I breakdown the makeup of Kit Snicket, from the Netflix adaption of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events The Slippery Slope: Part 1, step-by-step.

Unfortunately, I have dedicated my time to researching and recording the makeup of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

There is no reason to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this post, along with your mobile device, slip into a deep pit and forget about ever reading it.

(Paraphrased from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Tenth: The Slippery Slope)

You guessed it, I'm back for the third and final season of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Not going to lie; I cried at last episode, just like I did when I finished the last book 😭

But today we're at the beginning of the third season, particularly The Slippery Slope.

(Photo via my Netflix account. A Series of Unfortunate Events S3 E1 The Slippery Slope: Part 1)

Our first character of ASOUE season 3 is Kit Snicket, portrayed by Allison Williams.

Kit's makeup is quite natural, with glowing skin, as the character is pregnant.

Check out my step-by-step video tutorial here

What Will You Need?

1. A Natural-Matte Foundation & Neutral Shadows: To get a flawless base, use a luminous foundation with medium coverage and to start the eyes use a mix of cool & warm beige shadows with a matte finish.

2. Brown & Black Shadows: Gently blend a matte, warm brown shadow through the crease to give a little contour and then stamp & push a black satin or matte eyeshadow into the upper lash line with an angled eyeshadow brush to define lashes without making it look like you are wearing eyeliner.

3. White Eyeliner & Volumizing Mascara: Run a white liner along the lower water line to give the appearance of wider eyes and apply a volumizing mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

4. Cool Contour, Off-White Highlighter & Neutral Blush: Run a cool-toned contour shade under the cheekbone and on the temples, use a cream shade highlighter under & around eyes and down the bridge of the nose, take a dusty rose blush and apply a light dusting to the top of the apples of the cheek.

5.Powder Foundation & a Mauve-y Pink Lipstick: Set face makeup with a powder foundation and apply a frosty, mauve pink lipstick to finish off Kit's natural mountain look.

And voila!

You're ready to run through the mountains and try to rescue orphans.

Again you can catch my video tutorial of this look here
