Egyptian Pharaoh Lip Art ft Sugarpill & Born Pretty Store

Here's this Egyptian Pharaoh inspired lip art. I took elements of the strong contrasting colours of gold and blue seen a lot of ancient Egyptian art and tried to create the striped look of the nemes headdress or head cloth worn by the pharaohs that symbolises their power. I also wanted to incorporate the strong black eyeliner featured in the makeup, so I added the black outline and upturned corners of the mouth. I love how these lips are bright in colour and excitingly shimmery, but still dark and mysterious.

I really love ancient Egyptian imagery and I haven't dipped into that inspiration for a long time. The Bast makeup look that It’sBlackFriday uploaded a couple of weeks ago made me remember awesome look of the ancient Egyptian style and I was enticed to create this lip art.

I used to do tons of asymmetric eye looks with the eye of Ra and other god’s symbols and I'll have to bring that back into my make up entourage, and maybe make an eye tutorial.

Enjoy!

The Eye of the Serpent Lip Art ft OCC, Sugarpill & Born Pretty

The inspiration for this lip art started at one place then went in a totally different direction by the time I was finished. I was originally going for a snakeskin look with the fishnet stencil, but then I decided to stick some gold born pretty spikes and some square rhinestones and the look reminded me of an ancient civilisation’s jewel or some beautiful Indian sari design. Then I decided to name it after the The Eye of the Serpent jewel from Conan the Barbarian that they steal at the Tower of Serpents from the Temple of Set worshipers.

Enjoy!

Gold Leaf Cheetah Lip Art ft Born Pretty, Coloured Raine & Eye Kandy

I bought some gold leaf from born pretty store and I was thinking of a way to play around with it and I came up with a lip art that kind of reminds me of a cheetah print pattern. I added a purple and blue base of lipstick to the gold leaf to add a cool contrast to the warm gold and also created a gold glitter outline around the lips for added interest.

Enjoy!

I'm here to bring you the Sith vs Jedi collaboration. I was invited to clash light Sabres with Nijigasumi16 on YouTube who is of the serene and harmonious Jedi order and I represent the passionate, powerful and wrathful Sith.

I took inspiration from the intense rage of Darth Maul and his red skin and tribal-esque tattoos of his face, plus gold spikes to display his horns.

After watching the 2 tutorials you shall see which side of the force prevails! Bwahahaha!

Golden Shark Teeth Lip Art ft OCC, Eye Kandy, Sugarpill, Born Pretty & ScraPerfect

I received these gold spikes from Born Pretty and had an idea to build on the gold and black lip I wore to the Desolation of Smaug Hobbit movie last year.

So I came up with this lip art and pretty much kept adding embellishments to my lips with ScraPerfect Embellie Gellie until I was satisfied with the look. And the name comes from my Dad saying the layers of gold spikes looked like Shark's teeth and I liked the idea of that menacing spikiness being associated with this beautiful but deadly lip art.

Enjoy!
