Book of Fables – Chapter 36: Star Dust

Tomorrow is Christmas so a more festive look seemed appropriate 🙂 Bit sad that my lighting set seems to have washed out the look quite a bit (most likely due to the change in backdrop colour too) and so the 3 stars I’ve draw above my left eye aren’t painfully obvious 🙁 Still I do love my some glitter looks, not sure how I always managed to end up with more glitter on my desk and hands than face, but there you have it!

If you celebrate Christmas, hope you guys have a lovely Christmas, and if not, enjoy the public holidays and time away from work 🙂 Thank you so so much for reading, commenting, tweeting me etc~ Each interaction means so much to me and each day I feel so motivated to do better thanks to you! Thank you and stay safe <3

Face
Straight forward here, prime your face, foundation, concealer and then powder to set.

Cheeks
I applied a soft pink / brown blush to the hollows of my cheeks, then a shimmery white eye shadow to my cheekbones right up to my temples.

Eyes
Fill in your brows and extend them slightly with a dark gray eye shadow.

Prime the lids and crease with a silver cream shadow, then a shimmery white cream to the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone. Then apply a matching powder eye shadow colour to the cream colours. Using a gun metal eye shadow, apply to the crease and to the outer corner of your eye. Blend everything to remove any harsh lines.

Using a white eyeliner, draw stars just above your left eye brow and fill in the edges with a white eye shadow. Fill in the center with a silver eye shadow. Lightly pat silver glitter across all the stars.

Line your upper lash line with a dark gray gel liner creating a slight wing and smudge out. Now take a silver glitter liner and go over that gray line, making sure the silver line is slightly thinner. Extend the silver glitter liner beyond the eye and get creative! Create whatever designs you feel like! Dab some silver glitter over the silver liner to intensify the effect.

Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara and apply demi false lashes if needed.

Lips
Line your lips and fill in the outer corners of your lips, avoid filling in the direct center of your lips. Go over the lip pencil with a similar coloured lip stick, then fill in the center of your lips with a frost pink colour lipstick. Dab just a bit of silver glitter to the center of your lips.
