#Pokemonday - Nº 184 Azumarill

Hoy fue el turno de Azumarill, un Pokemon tipo Agua/Hada de la segunda generación. Azumarill tiene un diseño bastante interesante, así que fue muy entretenido hacer este look, aunque las fotos no son mis favoritas.

Today was Azumarill's turn, a Water/Fairy type Pokemon from the second generation. This Pokemon has a really interesting design so it was a fun look to create, even though the pictures aren't my favorite.

Contrast

El look que traigo hoy es inspirado por Emma de Kittenmoustache (ella está en YT e Instagram).

The look I'm showing today was inspired by Emma from Kittenmoustache (you can find her on YT and Instagram). 

Suele ser difícil utilizar colores pasteles sin que estos deslaven el rostro, por lo que agregar contraste y definición con colores oscuros ayuda bastante. 

It can be a little tricky wearing pastel shades without them washing you off, so using dark, contrasting colors to add some definition can help quite a bit.

#Pokemonday - Nº 344: Claydoll

Quiero retomar esta idea de hacer looks inspirados en Pokémon que empecé hace un tiempo, y dedicarle una sección en el blog todos los lunes (crucemos los dedos que así sea :P)

I've wanted to retake this idea of Pokémon inspired looks for a while, and dedicate a section of the blog to it every monday (crossing fingers). 

La forma en que hago esto es sacar tres números en random.org del 1 al 721 (porque vamos en 721 Pokémon O: ) y de esos tres números elijo al Pokémon correspondiente que mas me inspire.

The way I do this, is I get three different numbers from random.org between 1 and 721(because there's 721 Pokémon by now O: ), and choose the most inspiring one from the three corresponding Pokémon.

En esta oportunidad toco Claydoll, un Pokémon tipo Tierra/Psíquico de la 3era Generación.

This time I got Claydoll, a Ground/Psychic type from the 3rd Gen.

Winter is Coming...

Hola, hola!

Hace poco participé en un concurso de un grupo de Facebook en que debíamos realizar un maquillaje inspirado en Game of Thrones y este es el look que yo creé. Hace tiempo que estaba buscando una excusa para usar esta técnica para las "púas" y este fue el momento preciso. Me inspiré principalmente en el Trono de Hierro y en el fuego de los dragones, porque...dragones, por eso.

A little while ago I participated in a Facebook group contest where we had to create a makeup look based on Game of Thrones, and this is what I did. I had been waiting for an excuse to try the "spikes" technique and this was the perfect time. I was mainly inspired by the Iron Throne and a dragon's fire, because... dragons, that's why.

Hola, hola!

Hoy les quiero mostrar uno de mis maquillajes favoritos. Me encanta usarlo para conciertos, y es exactamente donde lo usé esta vez: a principio de mes la banda de mi hermano tuvo su concierto debut para su primer disco y fue genial! Si les interesa, pueden chequearlos en su Facebook, Soundcloud, Reverbnation y MySpace. Se nota que me encantan? :P

Today I'd like to show you one of my favorite looks. I love using this for shows and concerts, and that's exactly where I was going this time: at the beginning of the month, my brother and his band had their debut concert for their first LP and it was awesome! If you're interested you can check them out in their Facebook, Soundcloud, Reverbnation y MySpace. Can you tell I love them? :P

Bueno, volviendo al tema: aquí les dejo el look, es un ahumado en negro que difumina hasta morado y rosado. Oscuro y colorido, justo mi estilo!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand: here's the makeup, it's a black smokey eye that blends into purple and pink. Dark and colorful, just how I like it!

Glitter, glitter, glitter!

Bueno... Creo que ya está claro que no soy la mejor en esto de mantener un blog. Pero de verdad quiero empezar a postear con mayor regularidad así que me estoy armando un horario y buscando una solución para ver que hacer durante el invierno. Si ustedes me pudieran dar algunas sugerencias de cosas que les interesaran, lo apreciaría muchísimo! :)

So... I think it should be clear by now that I suck at blogging. But I really, really, really want to start doing this a bit more seriously, so I'm trying to come up with a schedule and a solution for the dark winter days. If you guys could help me with a few suggestions on posts I would greatly appreciate it! :)

Ahora que terminé de dar vueltas, vamos al look! Esta semana en NTMS, un grupo de facebook al que pertenezco, tuvimos un desafío de usar glitter y este es mi intento (uno de dos, de hecho).

I'm done rambling now; unto the look! We had a glitter challenge this week over at NTMS and I gave it a go (two, actually).

Purple Week 2x1 - Days 3 & 4

Hey, guys!

2x1 hoy porque en los últimos días no he hecho nada que valga la pena postear. El miércoles tuve una prueba súper temprano así que sólo usé un labial morado, y hoy me levanté tarde y me hice un delineado rasgado con morado (ado, ado, ado xD).

2 in 1 today, 'cause the last two days I didn't really do anything blog worthy. On Wednesday I had a super early test so I just went with purple lips and today I woke up super late so I did a purple winged liner and nothing more.

El look es otro, pero el labial es el mismo que usé el miércoles.
This is actually a different look, but same lipstick I wore on Wed.
Evil Shades' Dark Princess

Como esos dos fueron tan fomes, traigo un look anterior para compensar!

Since those two were so boring, I'll compensate with an older look I never posted :)

Creeper Eyessssssss! - NTMS Challenge

Hey, guys!

I'm gonna do this one a quickie, 'cause I'm a little lazy today :P

This week's challenge was for video games and as a certified nerd I couldn't pass it up! I wanted to do something different and outside of the box for this one cause I've done a gazillion looks inspired on other games like LoZ or Pokemon (even if I haven't posted them ^.^') so I figured those would be too predictable coming from me :P

So I did Minecraft! :D I thought this could be fun and unexpected, right?

Soft Mod - Day 11

Lately, I've been doing a little bit of "shopping my own stash" where I keep a few shadows I want to try and use up in a separate box. These are mostly samples of colors I don't really use that much, samples in clamshells (which I find a little uncomfortable to use) and colors I also own in full sizes.

I've been limiting my self to only use these colors for the past few months and if I use one up I'll replace with another one. It's been challenging but fun at the same time, it really forces me to be more creative instead of just doing the same look with different colors.

So today I did this: a 60's mod/twiggy kind of look with softer colors.

90 Days Makeup Challenge - Day 1/90

Yup. I'm gonna give it a try, but I can't promise anything!

Wendi (Makeup Zombie) came up with a really fun way to do this which is basically for everyone from her facebook group who wanted to, to do it and to link all of the other bloggers who are also doing it on each entry. So, I said why not? :D

In order for me to even think about success regarding this I'm gonna keep the posts short and sweet, with just pictures and the products list, if I can remember what I used.

Since it started today (yesterday?) and I wasn't prepared or wearing any makeup, I'm doing a collective post with a bunch of looks I never uploaded anywhere because I either forgot about them, was too lazy to edit the pics or forgot what I was wearing. Which happens quite often…
Some of this looks are very old and I believe my skills, skin and photographs have improved quite a bit, if I do say so myself.

So, without further ado:

I think I used mainly shiro for this one.
I remember using Ganondorf as base for the look and maybe Hyperbeam. I believe I used Epona to blend, alongside something else that I don't remember and the gold is BFTE's Autumn.

Disney Challenge for NTMS x2

Hi guys!

I think I'll keep this post short and sweet, cause I have to study (:c).

This weeks challenge was based on Disney, because Wendi, the Zombie leader from NTMS went to Disneyland! (Jelly!!!)

So, this is my look based on Aladdin. What inspired me the most was the landscapes in the movie because I think they're absolutely breathtaking!. There also elements form Jasmine's outfit, the teal one (♥), and a little touch of gold for the sand.

Christmassy Reverse Smokey Eye

Is "Christmassy" even correctly spelt? Anyway…

Hi! I'm back for today with this look and for the sake of stating the obvious, it's a reverse smokey eye (where you concentrate the darkest and smokiest at the lower lashline) with Christmassy colors (red, green and gold).

This was this week's challenge for "Never Too Much Sparkle," a Facebook group about makeup I'm part of, so you might see this look floating around in other places.

As usual, more pictures and details under the cut!
