20 Days of Makeup: TWENTY!

20. LITTLE MONSTER
for the days when you want to feel like
Mama Monster



Lighten up your skin with powder foundation.
Go in for the kill!
Find your design and
draw the outline with black pencil eyeliner.
Next, use your liquid eyeliner to fill in the space. 
You may want to go over the designs with black pencil throughout the day,
just to keep your look fresh.

FAVORITE TODAY:
Black Almay Liquid Eyeliner

Eye of Horus- For Good Fun.





Although this is not part of 20 Days of Makeup, I was still incredibly inspired to re-create Lady Gaga's Eye of Horus look. If you haven't caught the Tumblr post, seek the right column of the blog for the link.  When researching the Eye, I found very interesting information on the meanings behind each line. 

[ THE EYE OF HORUS ]
The entire eye measured 1 heqat. And each of the parts of the eye measured fractions of the heqat.

 
These are the parts of the EYE and their corresponding associated fraction values :
1/641/321/16
1/81/41/2
The corresponding sense data are :
1/64 heqat Touch
1/32 heqat Taste
1/16 heqat Hearing
1/8 heqat Thought
1/4 heqat Sight
1/2 heqat Smell

This information only scratches the surface of the information behind the design. I found this data on www.aloha.net/~hawmtn/horus.htm.


Killer, eh?

For My Animal Friends.

As a believer in animal rights, I strive every day to keep meat out of my diet, and animal testing out of my cosmetics. The makeup I have featured as "favorites" throughout 20 Days of Makeup are all cruelty-free products based off the list found on Peta.org. I hope my compassion towards furry friends has inspired you to explore the "Do Not Test" list, and consider changing your brand devotion toward more ethical companies.

20 Days of Makeup: SEXTEEN!

16. FALSIES
for your Denny's daze
regular foundation
start the day off with wearing too much rouge
pick some false eyelashes you enjoy. 
I chose "demi wispies"
(only because there were none with rhinestones at the market)
brush on glue, wait a few seconds, apply!
add eyeliner on top to help blend in the new lashes.

MAKE SURE YOU USE:
Brush on eyeliner glue from Andrea. No mess!
