The Good Goth - Dark, Sexy & Dramatic Eyes

Updated 03/05/2011 & 03/06/2011


This is strictly my own personal opinion about the matter. All material uncovered was done through a public google internet search with a few different keyword entries.

Due to information uncovered and revealed about this company, I cannot in good conscience or good faith recommend anyone support this reportedly handmade, organic small business. If information had been disclosed prior to discovery by the shop owner herself, I would have no problem with continuing to purchase. Regretfully, the scope of the lie and how many different people it could have potentially affected and hurt leaves me no other choice than to say this is not an honest company to do business with.

For information as to why, you can read more below:

Yesterday's look was a bit on the dramatic side... Ok, ok... More like definitely dramatic. What can I say?! I love drawing attention to my eyes, and I love sparkles. So it kind of makes sense that I'd want to do a dark look on my eyes, right?! Right!

It's gothic with a twist. I kept my lips fairly nude. But my eyes... Wowza! The tutorial is below for you to check out!

For me, having bold eyes is fun. It's a way for me to express my feelings for the day- whether it be fun, silly, quirky, or sullen. Yes- we all have gray days. Yesterday it was Danger for some reason. I don't know why... I just felt dark, full of emotion... And craving glitter. A poll on my Facebook Page revealed the color I would be using: Purple.

What's on my face:

Nivea Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection

(under eyes, around nose, chin)

e.l.f. Concealer & Highlighter Wands

(cover blemishes, highlight nose & temples)

There's the look! While this isn't quite a look for the faint of heart, if you're looking for a change- this definitely fits the bill! It's fun, it's glittery and sparkly, and you'll get lots of compliments for certain!

Thanks for stopping by as always!

Get the Look - Iridescent Bubbles Upon My Eyes

I remember being a kid, and getting a new bottle of bubbles each summer. I'd sit in the sunshine in my backyard, and try to make the biggest one possible with my little wand. Careful concentration, along with quick breaths were key.... And before you knew it, I'd have a sparkling, shimmering bubble reflecting all sorts of rainbow colors in the sunlight.

For a while, I was so enamored with them, during a trip to a Science Museum, I stayed at the bubble table while everyone continued on. Finally realizing I wasn't with them, one of the chaperons came back and found me still playing. Lucky for me, I didn't get into trouble. I was mesmerized with the tiny bubble clumps, each one having a different iridescent reflection- but all of them with the same colors. To me, they were magic. They still are!
 

 

When my friend Mary posted this song to my profile, along with a request to do create a look which was light, airy and colorful. This is also one of my favorite songs, from one of my all time favorite movies! I mean come on- what girl wouldn't want a pair of ruby red, glittery shoes?




I scooped up some colors, and quickly got to work. A little color here, a little color there... And soon upon my eyes danced the same colors one would find when looking at the surface of a bubble! I think out of all my looks, this one is one of my top 5. It just reminds me so much of being a kid- and sitting in the sun blowing bubbles. Or even better- near a bubble machine, so as they popped out into the air, they felt like butterflies alighting on your skin as they popped.

 

For a little extra shine, I glued on a 2mm and a 4mm crystal on the inner and outer corners of my eye. With the application of fantasy lashes in magenta, it really upped the look to the next level of pretty. More glitter, more sparkle- gotta love it! Of course, if worn to work you wouldn't want to add the extra glitteries and lashes.... But for a night out, or a Halloween look.... You can't go wrong!

 

In order to blend the colors, you want to make sure you have a fluffy brush that will not wipe all the color off your lids. If the brush is too dense, it will do such. By using a fluffy brush, it will evenly distribute the colors and gradually blend the colors out softly without wiping it off completely. The brush I'm using is from e.l.f. and is the Blending Brush. You can also use the e.l.f. Crease Brush to blend- however, it's considerably smaller than the blending brush, so it may take a little more time to achieve the soft gradient blends. As with any look, if a color goes on too sheer- blend it out as if it were the color you wanted. Go back for a little bit more, and continue alternating between the blending and adding color until you achieve the pigment you want.

Remember- have fun!
