NTMS Disney Challenge - Ratigan Picture Tutorial

Hello everyone! I meant to post this sooner, but the internet had other plans. But that is fine because NOW IS THE TIME for a quick photo tutorial!



What I used

Tutorial Time!


I have already primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion and then placed Maybelline Color Tattoo Fierce & Tangy over the inner 3/4 of my lid.

Next pat Detrivore Facade all over Fierce & Tangy and then added Pretty Addictions Peach Punch in the inner 1/4.

Then using NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Purple Velvet place on the outer 1/2 of my lid and made a winged shape.

Next pat Pretty Addictions Hocus Pocus over Purple Velvet and tried to blend as best as you can.

Next place a little bit of Glamour Doll Eyes Electric Chair in the inner corner and then use Glamour Doll Eyes Pistol Pistol to darken up the crease.

Ta da! This is the finished product.

I am quite pleased with how this turned out. I feel that my blending skills are slowly getting better and I really loved how the purple and orange worked together. I also really like the winged shape I created. I really love wearing a bold winged liner and this give you a similar shape but a more dramatic look.

What do you think? Have you ever done a look and totally surprised yourself with how great it turned out?
Would you like a video tutorial as well/in place of photo tutorials?

NTMS Challenge - Disney

This weeks challenge in NTMS is Disney. I decided to do a look inspired by one of my favorite movies: The Great Mouse Detective. I picked Ratigan as my inspiration.


And here is the look I created. I wanted to use the orange and purple as the main part of my look. I darkened the crease a little instead of leaving it bright and used a bright color on my lips to pull in the red from the lining of his cape.






What I used:
Maybelline - Color Tattoo in Fierce & Tangy
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Purple Velvet
Detrivore - Facade
Pretty Addictions - Peach Punch, Hocus Pocus
Stila - Love At First Blush Palette
Kat Von D - Everlasting Liquid Love Lipstick in Jeffree


What do you think of this look? I really like it! I was afraid this would end up being a bit crazy, but I think depending on what you are doing, you could probably wear this look out without a problem. Here is the tutorial if you are interested in how I did this.

NTMS Challenge - Blue Winter FOTD

As soon as I heard what the challenge was I knew exactly what I wanted to do. When I thought of blue winter I thought "this is the perfect time to use my Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette!!" Perfect. This look is not perfect, but it was my first attempt at something like this and I think it turned out well. I have a tutorial on the way.






What I used:

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk and Electric Blue (available at Ulta)
[Dagger, Techno, First Class, Razor Gray]
LA Splash Spotlight Mascara (available at Ulta)
Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight (available at Ulta or Sephora)

Lips:
OCC Lip Tar in Hoochie (available at their website I couldn't help myself and was just looking for an excuse to use it

Brushes:
ELF Professional eyeshadow brush (this brush seems similar as the one I used came in a gift set and I cannot find it on their site)



I do not know if I would wear it often, but I think it is pretty .
What do you think of this look?
