May FOTD Challenge - Fairy or Nymph

As you know I'm doing Sara-May's FOTD challange. Today's look is Fairy or Nymph.  To see Sara-May's look for today go HERE.

Unlike my Pin-Up look of earlier this week, I really wasn't comfortable doing this. I've never really done themed makeup looks before (ok fine, I did do a Geisha look last week!), so I found it hard to be creative and come up with an amazing Fairy or a Nymph.

Yes, I did go out into our garden and get in the bushes for these pics!

I did a fairly tame interpretation of a tree nymph, with green eyeshadows, bronzed glowy skin, and neutral but semi frosted lips.



The products used


FACE
Maybelline dream liquid mousse in Sandy Beige
MAC MSFN powder in Medium
Chic Australia bronzer in Banksia Bloom - I used this for contouring and just giving my face a warm glow
Becca Shimmer powder in Angel  - I used this on top of my cheekbones  for some nice shimmer.

EYES
Sleek Original Palette - green on top right corner, used all over lid
Illamasqua eyeshadow Slink - inner corner of eyes
NYX eyeshadow Luster - brow bone
Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

LIPS
Illamasqua eyeshadow Slink - dabbed all over lips for a frosty look
Maybelline Shinyliscious lipgloss in Caramello



To see who else is playing go HERE.

Some of the looks coming up next week include Cleopatra (that should be fun!), and makeup from another era (20s perhaps?).

Hope you like it! Let me know what you think.

  3. I think it looks great! It's hard to believe you're not a trained makeup artist.

  4. Thanks girls.

    @Vita - nope, definitely not trained. Just years of practice and watching my mum apply hers.

  5. I love this! I love how you went into the bushes for the photos, now that is dedication to the theme. I wish I could've done this look but back at work and far too busy this week, maybe I'll do one in the future!

    @Msmadamemakeup - thanks babe, in real life it looked too bronze but photographed well.

    On another note it looks like Blogger has deleted my previous comments and still not brought it back.
