Geisha Inspired Makeup!

One day while waiting for our children to get off their buses, my neighbor and I were talking a little bit and she said she'd seen this video showing modern Geisha makeup and she loved it.  Now Geisha makeup isn't something I'd ever considered doing.  It scares me a little haha.  But I watched the tutorial she sent me which you can watch here!  I thought it was neat and just was trying to figure out a time when I could wear it without feeling completely nutso haha.

So today is that day.  I was very influenced by that YouTube video but I also googled "Geisha makeup" and took bits of inspiration from pictures I saw there too.  So here's my look!

It's soooo different for me!!  Which is good.

I did use a foundation that it way too light for my skin (which you can really see in the last picture!) to lighten but not white out my face.  

Eyes:

TFSI

NYX JEP "milk"

Inglot 403 P (yellow gold) shadow

Sugarpill's Love+ (red) shadow on eyes, cheeks, forehead, and a little in eyebrows

NYX "white" shadow

Revlon Colorstay/ Wet 'n Wild black liquid liners mixed

a set of Halloween lashes for top and some random ones for the lower lashes

Lips:

NYX "Amsterdam" soft matte lip cream

This was fun to do.  I definitely like trying different things but my problem is wearing them out.  Who wants to do makeup and then just wash it off??  That's no fun. 

I hope you like this (especially you, Carrie!). Haha I feel like a crazy person with the bottom lashes since they're not actually near my natural lashes so it feels VERY strange!  I hope you all enjoy your Sunday!!!
