Pictar spam! I did some Alessa work last night since I got the boreds. So here's a step by step of me doing my makeup.



This is me normally. Slightly unfortunate since it was ab out 11 at night and I'm tired enough as it is.


Headband and astringent time. Always good to close your pores up before you do the makeup thing. Don't want pimples!


Bust out the makeup box


And the tunes. Which ended up being King Rat and Anti-Flag over and over again.


Before makeup, there is contacts, mostly so you don't cry all over yourself and ruin your job and so you don't have makeup-y hands at the end and get it all in yoru eyes.


Then its time for base! Which is Aquacolor in this greyish tone who's color number I've forgotten.


Big white mime face! White makeup takes all contouring and any sort of face shape you might have had and wipes that away. So we'll have to do something about that, since I don't enjoy my big nasty blobface.


So first step to doing that is to put some color back in my face, which seems a bit counter productive, but Alessa is quite pale, but she's not WHITE. So strategic use of powder foundation on the brow bones, nose, cheekbones and temples was employed.


Shitty bathroom lighting isn't doing me too many favors.


This is an eyeshadow palette meant to make green eyes greener, I've found it makes better bruises than making my eyes look green. So that's usually what I use this for.


Applied under the eyes and on the outside corners.


Now for the rest of the colors, the dirty greenish brown will be used for contouring and shadowing, in addition of the broken up reddish brown. The bright red will be used on the eyes only.


Darker red applied into the creases of the eyes, lower lid and a bit of contouring on the nose, since I've got a honker.


More countouring with the brown on the cheekbones (to hollow), chin and jaw line to make me a bit less square. Stupid big square head. And some bright red on the very underside of the bottom lid, which is wiped out by the terribe lighting in my bathroom.


And so finally, after drawing my eyebrows back on since they got a bit lost and doing some mild blood work and wig application, ta-da! Alessa. With the wrong shirt since I haven't made the correct one yet because I'm a lazy bitch. And I need to put more goop in the wig so its stringier and less fried.


And then me dicking around. Tada.
