A Pokemon for Halloween: Growlithe

I know Growlithe isn't really a bright orange, but I didn't really have the color he actually is and I figured orange was close enough since he sort of looks like a tiger. Besides, sometimes he looks goldish and sometimes he looks more orange, so it depends on what picture you're looking at. I originally wanted to do tiger stripes for this look but ehh..that didn't really work out. Over the top theatrical makeup isn't really my strong spot. hah. Anyway, here's what I came up with.




-NYX Jumbo eye pencil in "Milk" smudged out from lid to brow
-Sugarpill "Flamepoint" all over lid and lower lashline and blended out
-Shiro "Dunsparce" and "Meowth" mixed together from inner corner blended up above the orange to the brow
Kat Von D tattoo liner in "Trooper" for the black lines
Rimmel white eyeliner on waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

I apologize for this one, I really don't feel like it's my best work. If you can't tell from the pictures I haven't been feeling too well today. I'm not sick or anything, just really blah. I still wanted to do a look today, though so I did my best! I promise I'll be back to normal tomorrow with an awesome look. :D I really wanna do Ho-Oh, but I'm not sure how to do it yet.

Have a lovely evening! :)

So I Herd U Liek Mudkipz...

If you don't get it, go to Google and type in Mudkip and you'll understand. I don't know how this meme got started, and I know it's old but I couldn't resist. :P Plus I really wanted to try out Flamepoint without picking something obvious like Charmander.




Eyes:
-NYX Jumbo Pencils in Milk (inner 1/2) and Electric Blue (outer V)
-Sugarpill Afterparty + Tako mixed together on outer V
-Sugarpill "Flamepoint" center of lid (orange)
-light blue color from 88 palette with Aromaleigh "Puffo" patted on top
-"Puffo" again on top of the Afterparty/Tako mixture
-"Tako" again blended from where the color ends up to brow
-Kat Von D black tattoo liner on upper lashline
-Stila eyeliner in "Blue Ribbon" on lower lashline and waterline
-Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Lips:
-Avon "Sparkling Peach" all over
-Morgana's "Serenity" applied to the center of lips with finger

Maybe the lips were a bit much but ehh it's not like I'm wearing this out anyway. If I were to actually dress up as a Mudkip, I'd probably keep the lips neutral. I still don't know what to do next, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know :)

Hope you like this look, have a lovely evening! :)

A Pokemon for Halloween: Shinx

Shinx was my first Pokemon that I caught on Diamond (not including the starter). I didn't know what the heck I was doing at the time but I used Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray all the way through the whole game. Luxray was in my group in the final gym battle. Definitely one of my favs. :D





What I Used:
Nyx Jumbo pencils in Milk, Black Bean, and Electric blue as creamy bases for the colors
Jordana FabuLiner in black to create the outline of the wings
matte black from 88 palette on outer V
light blue color from 88 palette all over lid
Aromaleigh "Puffo" patted on top of the blue color to make it brighter and give it some sparkle
Sugarpill "Buttercupcake" in crease and lower lash line
Sugarpill "Tako" on inner corner and brow bone
Jordana FabuLiner again on upper lashline, and "Milk" on the waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

The process for this look was a little scatter-brained but I think it turned out pretty good. I haven't used Buttercupcake until now and I'm pretty impressed with it. It's a tad on the chalky side, but it's really pigmented and easy to work with. I think it looks really nice with "Puffo."

Let me know what you think, have a lovely evening! :)

A Pokemon for Halloween: Gastly

Like my photo editing? XD

I know I said Shinx was up next, but since today was the day to wear purple in memory of the recent suicides, I figured I'd bump Gastly up to go along with that. Not to say Gastly is gay or gets bullied (or maybe he does, I dunno) but he is, well, purple. ANYWAY, Shinx will be next I promise.



What I used:
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in black bean applied all the way around the eye and smudged with ring finger and also applied on the waterline
Sugarpill "Stella" applied all over the lid and lower lashline
Sugarpill "Poison Plum" blended into Stella and above
Sugarpill "Paperdoll" applied above Poison Plum and all the way up to the brow bone
Sugarpill"Tako" blended into Paperdoll on brow bone
Kat Von D black eyeliner pen
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Lips:
Morgana "Gargoyle" applied on the outer corners
Rimmel "Vintage Pink" in the center and on top of Gargoyle to blend together

I actually think Gengar is way cooler than Gastly, but I thought he would be cooler to it could be all smokey-like. This is definitely something I would wear out because it's so "me." It looks like I used all Sugarpill for this, but that's not really on purpose. That's probably going to be happening a lot for these Pokemon looks because they have pretty much the perfect colors for it. Thank you, Sugarpill, for making this easy haha

Hope you like it, have a lovely evening! ^-^

A Pokemon for Halloween: Mew

Mew is awesome. There's only one, and he lives forever. He was the first Pokemon, and is thought to be the most powerful of them all. The best part is he's completely adorable, and says "Mew!" exactly like you'd expect him to.
Sometimes he looks really light pink, and sometimes darker pink, I just incorporated both into this look. Plus I just got my Sweetheart palette from Sugarpill and wanted to use Dollipop :P

What I Used:
TFSI
Nyx Jumbo pencil in "Milk" on inner half of lid
Nyx Jumbo pencil in "Strawberry Milk" on outer half of lid
Nyx Jumbo pencil in "Electric Blue" lower lashline
Sugarpill "Dollipop" outer corner/crease (hot pink)
Glamour Doll Eyes "Dear Mom" center of lid (medium/light pink)
Aromaleigh "Amarena" (very light pink) inner corner
Aromaleigh "Puffo" lower lashline
Sugarpill "Tako" on inner corners and underneath brow
Kat Von D tattoo liner in "Trooper" (black) on upper lashline, extended out
"Milk" again on waterline
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

Hope you like it! Again, I'm going to be doing these all month, so if you have any requests let me know! Up next is probably Shinx. :)

Here is a picture of my 14 year old cat, Red, in a hilarious pose. He stuck his leg up like he was going to wash it, then never did and just left it there.

Have a lovely evening!

A Pokemon for Halloween: Shaymin

Today's look is Shaymin! I love Shaymin. He's a legendary Pokemon, which makes you think he'd look really intense and intimidating but..nope. Just a cute little hedgehog thing. :) He was my 2nd choice for a Halloween costume..I was just going to get a white dress, a long green wig and a big pink flower to put in it.



What I used:
Bright grass green color from 88 palette on outer corner/crease and lower lashline
Shiro "Budew" patted on top of the green
Nyx Jumbo eye pencil in Milk applied heavily all over the inner portion of lid
matte white color from the 88 palette patted on top of Milk
GDE "My Belle" and "Dear Mom" mixed together on lower inner lashline
Milk again on waterline
Kat Von D liquid eyeliner in "Trooper" (black) on upper lashline and extended out
Maybelline Falsies black mascara

I didn't use a primer because I did this specifically for the blog, but if I were going to wear this out I definitely would have used one. Just didn't wanna waste any. :)

Let me know what you think, and tell me if you have any requests! So far I'm going to do Mew, Oddish, Marill, Dratini, and Shinx.
