This made me very aware that it is extremely difficult for me to separate whole look, face, hair and make up. I went through a lot of pictures thinking wow this is stunning .. but do I actually like the make up? I guess it makes sense in a way that not every style of make up fits every type of face, so if something looks good both aspects probably go hand in hand but ehhhh we´re trying to be about make up here right ^^ [Edit: put the row left in for some of those.. IDK IDK ]
I´m pretty sure I like a bold, classic, not overly thick winged eyeliner but my hooded eyes still foil any attempts to wear one and makeup in relation to my face is pretty boring (I don´t seem to have neither skills or features to pull most things off comfortably) this is probably why I quickly went for a different approach here. I really like makeup when it starts to be about “drawing out of the lines” and is allowed to be messy, I know there is a ton of more mainstream examples of that as well but that above is more like my thing. I didn´t expect Manson to show up in this, but I quite often love what he does with lines, dots however are more complicated :D
(Lately I´m a bit peeved about makeup, as already complained about I can´t nail the “big looks”, cosplay makeup is in a dead phase too and everyday one just feels like a chore to hide blemished skin and get something on the eyes to not look sick bleh.)
Maybe it´s just a different perspective because of age but I do miss the 90s. It seems much more “human friendly” to me, skin was more allowed to, although be pretty, look like skin and it was more like putting makeup on a face while lately it seems to be more about putting on a certain face with makeup ..
.. also LOVE the pic in the middle of the top row
I think BladeII´s Nyssa could bring our boards together ..
And damn apparently I do like pale with visible veins Nomak had such a great design, maybe I should start watching The Strain
