From the Archive: Marie Antoinette Make-up

So, sometimes when I'm bored, I play dress up like a nine-year old.  Only with better dress ups.

This was something I did sometime between July-October of 2012.  Marie Antoinette-styled fun.

Everything was going wrong: the eyelashes, the bathroom lighting, my camera, my brushes, the make-up itself.

But I had fun, and thought I'd journal it here.

The photo quality is horrid--for which I apologize--so I edited the crap out of the image so you could see the colors of the eye-makeup.  So now the hair looks all . . . fluorescent.  It's really more of a burgundy red.

Speaking of hair, I used the same wig on my Hipster Ariel outfit, but just stuck socks inside to give it more volume.  Here's a picture from the top, where you can see all the earrings and jewelry I put in it, to make it purty.  In addition to the socks, I also used bobby pins to bring those ringlets forward.  Sorry about the blurry picture, but this is the only photo in which you can see the top of the wig.

(You can also see the totally sexy shoe that my man bought me back in our "we're totally not dating" days.)

In the photo below, you can how truly experimental my eyeliners were.  I used orange, lilac, green, yellow, and blue.  I also drew a fantastic mole, because it's a beauty mark, BEOTCH.

And now, I shall post this and pretend that you can't totally see my eyebrows, and crooked lines, and escapist eye-lashes.
