This month's Femme Boulevard has us tackling a 'Hollywood Goddess' theme! The idea was Lilit's and it made my head explode with possibilities when we discussed it way back in January. But such are my delinquent ways, I found myself an hour before deadline still without a final look chosen, but with a hefty dose of jetlag and also plenty of '...but where is all the makeup hiding?' thanks to my ninja laws-of-physics-defying packing skillz.
Times like these, the obvious choice is the only choice.
Can you guess which Hollywood goddess I chose to emulate? The blue's the clue...

Kiko white kajal on waterline and Rose de Versailles Oscar (black) liquid liner as lid-liner.
A not-quite monotone blue eye built around Rouge Bunny Rouge Mysterious Tinamou with Catrice Smokey Eyes Pencil 040 Petrolling in the Deep for depth and the icy blue-white from Suqqu EX-12 Hisuidama for lift. Fyrinnae Newcastle, mixed with water and messily patted on, as a patchy old gold highlight.
Rouge Bunny Rouge Sweet Dust Seriema to shade around eyes and under cheekbones (not that I remotely manage to approach my goddess's bone structure...)
Chicca Flush Blush 01 Baby Girl for up tilted, edge-of-cheekbones shading blush, Addiction Day Trip is the peachy nude lip.
A lot of brow was involved: both Shu Uemura H9 pencil in Stone Grey and Suqqu brow pen in Moss Green.
....Have you guessed yet? Okay, foine:

Inspiration ofc, is Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra (1963), that lavishly glamorous yet bombastically baggy monster so perfectly representative of Hollywood excess (er, the film, not Liz. Although....). On the set of which she met Richard Burton, the rest being Hollywood history. I would've loved to have recreated her look from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? but, y'know, no haz the makeup skillz.
Or photography ones! The only head-on-ish shot I got came out slightly fuzzy. Um, it's GLAMOUR? And usual apologies/discaimers for my yellow bathroom lighting.
Perfect for a Friday night in watching DVDs on the couch, no? :D
