Dare to Wear #4 Challenge by FunnyFaceBeauty (Illamasqua)

Hello beautifools! Another quick post for today...

I recently stumbled across FunnyFaceBeauty's blog and I saw that she has put up a 'Dare to Wear Challenge' blog post. In her most recent Dare to Wear post, she features fewer photos by Illamasqua which which was from their recent collection called 'Theatre of the Nameless', I believe.

I actually don't know much about the brand, so correct me if I'm wrong!

But on another note, Illamasqua's stash of photos looks amazing! Ooft! This has to be my favourite photo of their collection:

I love the thick black outline of the facial features and that little circle on her cheek... I don't know what it is, but to me.. it looks like a cute mole. Hahahaha! Or 'beauty spot' if you'd like to call it.

Of course, out of FunnyFaceBeauty's post, I picked this look to recreate! Too bad I don't have any necklace and accessories for props!

So here's an attempt of my recreation if you're ready....

I actually like the photos with flash better as they didn't wash out the intensity of the black eyeliner and all...

Overall, this was a very fun and messy look! I definitely enjoyed seeing my mum's reaction when I blocked out my brows also!

One more thing about this look is that, I actually only blocked out half my eyebrows, so I had to go over with Photoshop to actually remove the traces of me brows! I also used Photoshop to intensify the black eyeliner in the first two photos as the lighting did wash it out a tad..

Besides that, I did not airbrush my skin or whatever - just in case you're wondering!

There's fewer things that I do need to improve or change about this make-up look also! I need to work more on highlighting the cheekbones and also my eyelids. And more blush too! Cry!

Hope you liked this post!

P.S. I look like a man with my outlined lips LOL!
