The Ladybug

Time for the grande finale of Red and Black week, a post that I have put some thought to because I have had rather high expectations on myself for this. :) Since eye makeup is my specialty of course I had to include an eye look - and an artsy one to - but I also wanted to show you one of my summer-goth outfits.

What is red, black and definitely part of a decent summer month? The ladybug of course! :D Lady bugs are beautiful creatures and probably the only bug that I wasn't afraid of as a kid. Of course I just had to adopt their elegant esthétique for one of my Red and Black week looks!

Red eyeshadow, red eyes (no they're not actually contact lenses) and black dots. What could go wrong?

I'm sorry I don't have a whole face look with this one; my right eye was misbehaving at the day I created this and didn't want to have any makeup put on it.

As you probably have worked out by yourselves by now the rounded shape of the eyeshadow is deliberate; an attempt to catch the curvy, feminine beauty of the ladybug.

How do I look in bangs? XD

And here's a better picture of the hairband.

Well, last but not least, I would like to give a HUGE thank you to Ms. Kitty for hosting Red and Black week this year again. :) It is such a delightful event and I enjoy reading everyone's posts! 

And a big thanks to all of you who have taken your time to read my posts and send me such nice comments! I'm blessed to have such wonderful readers as all of you! <3 

The Black Lodge

First of all I will acknowledge that no other look has tested my patience as much as this one, and, believe me, my patience is almost endless when it comes to creative business.

As this is a special "theme-within-a-theme" day during the Red and black week - with the theme Red, Black and White -  I figured a special look as this one would do fine.

Is there a scarier place than the beautiful Black Lodge that within its seductive red drapes and fish bone-patterned floor holds mysterious, evil things beyond our worst nightmares? :)

My eye shape is definitely NOT ideal for looks like this one, since I have partially hooded lids. When I have my eyes fully open the pattern will be distorted. Bleergh! Whatever, it's not really a wearable look anyway.
