Red Riding Hood

My current obsession is about the show Once Upon a Time. It is amazing! For those of you who doesn't know about it, it is about fairy tale characters who, due to a curse, has been trapped in the little town Storybrooke, Maine. They don't remember anything about their past life in the Enchanted forest, but one day a girl, Emma, comes to town and things start to change.
It is a wonderful, magical story which thrillingly makes you watch episode upon episode. ;) The most interesting element in the series is definitely the love story inspired by Beauty and the Beast, which is so beautiful it makes your heart ache.
As for the actors the most famous one's in this show are the pretty Ginnifer Goodwin (as Snow White) and the brilliant Robert Carlyle (as Rumplestiltskin; who is definitely my favorite character ;) ).

Anyways, there are a lot of great makeup looks in this show as well and the one I like most is the one that Red Riding Hood's Real World-alter-ego, Ruby, wears in one of the episodes in season 1.

Meghan Ory as Ruby/Red riding hood. Isn't she beautiful?

And here's my version of the look! :) 


This week I've worn this look every day. The Makeup Geek lipstick in Elegant is probably one of my new favorites (except my trusty ol' black of course... ;) ). I will write a review on it soon because I feel the need to tell you all about what a great lipstick it is. 


I really like this look. :) 


Since the close-up pictures I took from the first time I wore this look turned out crappy (why does red always look over-saturated on my pics??) I photographed the eyes again, with other light settings. Hence, the black eyebrows on the close-ups. ;) 


Make sure that the red is strongest on the outside corner/crease and then softly blend it into the white on the eyelids. Before adding the red, add a medium/light brown in the crease as a transition color. So basically, Step 1. White on the lid; Step 2. Soft brown in the crease; Step 3. Red; Step 4. Eyeliner. Not too hard, right? :)

*IMPORTANT: Since M.A.C. has decided to start testing their products on animals I can no longer recommend you to buy these products! The reason why I'm still using them is because I bought them before it came to my knowledge that M.A.C. would become a non-cruelty free brand. I won't however buy any new products by them since animals are more important to me than looking good.
