Black Sabbath gig Makeup & OOTD

I went to the Black Sabbath gig and decided to created a dark and witchy look with colours that come to mind when I think of the grandfathers of heavy metal. I layered different purples, and added a bit of silver and black, plus some glitter here and there for a striking finished result.

I used my faithful matte black Sugarpill Bulletproof in the crease with a pop of Dollipop, a brilliant matte white highlight in Tako and Poison Plum as a purple base for the Inglot #439 Pearl dark purple shadow and blended some Inglot #447 pearl silver to open up the eye. I added a pop of my beloved MAC Young punk on the outer edge and for dimension on the lid I used Eye Kandy Tiny tart. I thought the look could do with a black glitter eyeliner created with Urban Decay Perversion and Eye Kandy Licorice stick too. 

I really enjoyed the gig and had a blast with my guy. It was amazing to see the old line-up of Black Sabbath (bar Bill Ward). I mean, Geezer Butler is my bass hero and I love seeing Ozzy live plus Tony Iommi is awesome! I've seen Ozzy solo band and Dio (may he R.I.P) as Heaven and Hell but this was a hell of an experience and once in my life time opportunity, at least in my neck of the woods.

In the Outfit section below I have more information about my corset and the rest of it if you're interested and the details of the makeup products are at the bottom of this post.


The manicure I created to go with this makeup and outfit is published on Polishpedia and to see the full post click here.

Enjoy!







Outfit

Leather corset jacket similar to the Czar 3902 style from Marquis de Sade
Leather skirt (custom made)
Demonia Extreme knee-high 6 inch platform boots from clubwearaustralia.com
Amber opaque black stockings 200 denier


The outfit is some if my favourite leather items I don't wear often enough. I really adore the leather corset jacket, however it's not the most comfy thing to wear; honestly the only problem with the item is it doesn't let my raise my arms past my chest. But it fits so well and looks fantastic! It came with a velvet ribbon to criss-cross through the eyelets at the front but I don't usually wear it with that. The corset has the full deal of boning and lacing up at the back but is easy to put on yourself because it has a zip in the front and you don't have to re-lace it every time you put it on. I keep it laced at a firmness that's comfortable so it's easy to wear and slip into. I got it from Marquis de Sade in Australia but they have a website here

The skirt is something I had custom made but it's a simple a-line skirt with a concealed zip in the back. The boots are killers in the fashion department and the kill your feet department and I only wear them for short periods of time and pray I don't break my leg. They're the highest heels I have and go really well with this outfit.

Iron Man 3 Makeup & OOTD

A movie night makeup and OOTD again! I was inspired by Iron Man's fancy metallic suit and knew that Sugarpill Golidlux, Love+ and Asylum would be perfect for this look. Not to mention Eye Kandy Bananarama and NYX Hot Gold for some extra sparkle and pizzaz!

I enjoyed the movie and also loved wearing this makeup. Red doesn't always have to "make you look sickly", it can look dramatically powerful and really cool too. I chose an angular winged up shape for this eye makeup for a superhero lift to the face and paired it with the gorgeous Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet and a dashing red outfit!

Feel free to click on the images for higher quality and better colour.

If you adore the shimmery red and fabulous gold pigments, then check out Sugarpill.com for Asylum, Goldilux and more!


Enjoy!
