Masquerade

I'm spending the weekend with some friends, and one of them happens to be a lovely lady named Kate.  Kate's extra special, not only because she's just a wonderful girl in general, but because she's about to start writing for Dressing Room Door!  

We were feeling adventurous today, so I did her makeup in a fairytale, masquerade mask.  We had so much fun figuring it out, and spent forever on it.  I hope you enjoy, and I promise to come back soon with some more wearable posts.  :)

And in case you're wondering, NO, I wouldn't wear this in public.

 Last night, I had the itch to play with my makeup.  I get this urge occasionally, and usually end up doing something to my face that takes roughly 15 minutes to fully remove.  But it's all fun, and it relaxes me.  I was watching Soul Surfer with the family when I did this, and I felt like I needed to do something blue.  The purple and black is purely for kicks.

No tutorial on this one... I was wingin' it.

That's all for today, folks!  I'll be back in a few days with a back to school, everyday makeup tutorial.  Don't worry,  I won't have you hitting the books looking like a cross between an Avatar and a butterfly.  :)
