Autumn Vampire

Hi! I'm back and this time with another look!
I intended to do a fall look but turns out i got carried away and what turned out was something more vampy'ish than I was initially expecting.
I had a lot of fun doing this look and shooting the photos for this look, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I chose these reddish colors because, to me, they resemble fall and all the leaves that we see on the street.

Another major inspiration for this look was the gorgeous dress Manuela Kraller used in the video Xandria made for the song Valentine.

This look is what most people would call a "party look" since it's a wearable look for most people on a daily basis.

I used a mixture of matte, satin and shimmery eyeshadows to achieve this cat eye look.

I placed a brick red in the center of the lid and brought it a bit in to the inside of the eye but not completely till the inner corner.

After placing that red color, i used a gel eyeliner to add that darkness and then blended it out and into the red with some black eyeshadow. In the innermost part of the eye I used an old pink satin eyeshadow that gives me loads of shine and brightness, which is what I was going for with this look.

I also brought the black eyeshadow in almost till the brow, as you can see in these photos. By doing this, I gave my eyes even more of a "cat eye" shape.

On the lower lid I used regular black gel eyeliner to give me the darkness I was going for.

On the inner corner I used a very fine brush and gel eyeliner to create a small triangle that further elongated the eye and the cat eye shape. This technique is also used in Arab style makeup.

To achieve that sharp line with the gel eyeliner, I used a piece o duct tape to give me a clean sharp line.

A cat eye wouldn't be complete without false lashes. I used the biggest false lashes that I own that emphasize the cat eye shape the most. You would want to choose falsies that are longer on the outer corner than on the inner corner, again, to elongate the eye.

With a coral blush I brought some life to my complexion as well as with a cold toned bronzer.
The cold toned bronzer can also be used to shape the face.

For the lips I used a red lipstick in the same shade as the eyeshadow and I darkened it a little with a black lipstick. In the center of the lips I used that same eyeshadow to give the lips more of dimension.

When it comes to eyebrows, I just followed my natural brow shape, just as I do every single day.

I hope you have enjoyed this look, I had so much fun creating it!
For my next post I will be doing a lipstick wishlist with all the lip products I have been craving.

Love,

Anna
