My Simple Burlesque LOTD

I went to see Burlesque the other night. I was so excited about it because I really love the Burlesque style and I would become lesbian for Christina Aguilera. It started out promising, but I thought the storyline was really lame. I don't know why I was expecting something profound, but I was a bit let down. It wasn't a total loss, though. The make up and costumes were AMAZING. It definitely inspired me to do some looks. This one is more simple/wearable IMO, but I probably will do another one that is a little more intense.


Face:
-Meow Cosmetics concealer in Frisky Persian/Frisky Himalayan
-Covergirl "Clean" liquid foundation
-Clinique Blush in "Smoldering Plum"
-Meow Cosmetics powder foundation in Frisky Persian (to set it all)

Eyes:
-TFSI
-Shiro Cosmetics "Meowth" all over main lid
-Aromaleigh "Teddy Wisp" in crease
-more Meowth on brow bone
-Kat Von D tattoo liner on upper lash line, winged out
-Rimmel white eyeliner on waterline
-Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Lips:
-NYX lip liner in "Burgundy"
-Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in "Very Cherry"

I really like how this turned out, it makes my eyes look really big. I would wear this out on a normal night, but it may be a bit much for some people.
Anyone else go see Burlesque? What'd you think? I give it a B-

Have a lovely Sunday! :)

  2. I was excited for Burlesque (and the OPI collection) but although im a huge fan of Christina, i just had this sneaky suspicion it was going to be like Mariah Careys film (Butterfly? Glitter? Or something). Love this look, dont think its too much at all, i wear it practically all the time! You wear it well!

  3. Wow! AMAZING look! I agree, it does make your eyes look big! And the lipstick looks beautiful on you! I haven't seen Burlesque, although I want to! Even if the story is not all that great, I'd go to see the makeup and costumes!

  4. Robyn: hahaha Yeah her desperation is a tad pathetic. She also has a hard time masking her promiscuity...it definitely kept showing through her "innocent farm girl" character.

    Aoife: Lordy it wasn't that bad! Yeah it's called Glitter. That movie was an abomination hahaha
    And thank you! I don't do this type of look much but I think I should, it's pretty darn easy.

  7. I kind of hate movies like Burlesque -- where famous singers make these cheesy movies to showcase their singing. Nine times out of ten the singers make horrible actors. And Cher has had so much face work that she kiiiinda looks like a blow up doll. I'll probably see it (read: download) out of boredom and love of burlesque-y type stuff.

    Bitching aside, I love this look! Cat eyes are my fave.

  8. haha Thanks, Kendal. Normally I'm the same way, I just happen to really like Christina Aguilera so I made an exception for this one. It wasn't the worst, but the story was pretty painfully predictable.
