As halloween is creeping up, I decided to experiment a little with make up for a barbie doll. Firstly, I caked on LOADS of the darkest foundation I owned, followed by powder. I then drew on my eyebrows, making them as arched as I could, which would have looked a lot better if I covered my real brows and drew them on higher, so I'll remember that for next time.
For the eyes I chose pink eyeshadow which I took up to above my eyelid, then drew a line to create the illusion of bigger eyelids, and above this line I put darker pink eyeshadow. Using black liquid eyeliner I then framed my eyes, going further down than my teardrop to create the look of bigger and more lifted eyes. Then, I drew my lashes from the lashline to just before my brows, because barbies have big eyelashes!!
The final part was making myself look plastic.. I used an angled brush and brown eyeshadow to contour my nose, cheekbones, lips and jaw. I then highlighted these areas, making everything look shiny and plastic! With lip liner I drew way beyond my actual lips, filled it in with lipstick and lipgloss to create huge pouty barbie lips. I also slapped on a lot of blusher on the apples of my cheeks.
Finally I put on a sparkly dress and I was a doll! The only thing i didn't own was a blonde wig :(
What are your fancy dress ideas?
