A Q U A R I U S , T H E W A T E R B E A R E R
Inspired by a twitter post from some girl doing a zodiac makeup challenge. Since I want to get more into doing slightly crazier than average makeup, I thought this would be a good place to start. I'll be doing one for every sign and posting it up sometime between their respective dates.
So first is Aquarius, the water bearer. When I think of Aquarius I think of different shades of blues and bluish-greens because water. I also think of light gold and white for the vessel that carries the water, so I played around those colors for this look.
I was planning on putting this up on Youtube but it's actually A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I'm quite shy and awkward when I'm talking to my camera so maybe I'll try dabbling in that some other time. Sorry, yo!

Becky this is so stunning! You look gorgeous!!! I love the idea of a zodiac makeup series and I can't wait to see the other ones you create!! I wish I was more daring with bright colors!! And I totally understand about being shy with the camera on YouTube! I'm in the same boat- I really want to make vidpes but everytime I try I just want to be like ahhhh don't look at me!!!! And i agree with filming makeup is hard! But I would definitely love to see some videos from you!!
ReplyDeleteMy Goodness! This has to be my favorite make up series
ReplyDeleteof you so far! All these blue tones <3
I understand the recording yourself in front of a camera is
scary, even though I have done a few vids, I still find it
daunting :P Xx http://icepandora.blogspot.com

Oooh I love this idea - I can't wait to see what you do for Pisces which is my sign. The colours you've put and blended together here are stunning and you really rock this look so well!

Your skin is just so flawless I can't even speak! I keep going back and forth on whether I should purchase Nars Sheer Glow, but after seeing this, I think my answer should be a definite yes. You are the blending queen for eyeshadow as it all looks so seamless, and your bronzer, blush, and highlighter are also gorgeous, not streaky or overdone at all! Teach me how do make everything look so flawless and smooth and just perfect. Please.

Thanks so much, for both the compliment and encouragement! <3 You shouldn't be shy about putting on something bright, it's an expression of yourself after all! Hahaha I guess doing stuff in front of the camera is something that takes getting used to. It's a little weird thinking about it because doing our makeup and hair is probably something we do without much thought, but if it's in front of the camera it's suddenly DONT LOOK AT ME lol
ReplyDeleteHehe, thank you <3 You seem like a natural whenever you post videos!
ReplyDeleteIt's really just a sum of practicing. You can be good at anything with a lot of practice! :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, Pisces is next so keep your eye out for that one ;)
ReplyDeleteI swear it's the makeup doing its job, hahaha. My natural skin is actually quite discolored around my eyes and mouth, so I have my concealers to credit for that :P I actually think my bronzer/contour is almost always overdone because I go IN on that. Sometimes I joke about it with my friends and they agree after I bring it up LOL. If I ever do get into Youtube, I'll do a face makeup routine with you in mind ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL awkward is the word that totally hits the spot. I enjoyed the videos you made so far, you should definitely start again. Thank you for the kind words <3
ReplyDeleteYes!! Your Youtube debut is calling you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I can do a little better in terms of photography, but we've all got to start somewhere :)
