My Take On Harlequin.

This was a look that I decided I wanted to create for Halloween. I know its not Halloween any more, but it can still be used parties! 
Sorry about the picture quality!
It doesn't really show the makeup to well! :(


Okay, lets get down to the look itself! 
I begin this look by applying glue to my brows, I let the glue dry before applying other layer. Once the second layer was dry I powdered them with press powder, added other thick layer of glue, again waited for that to dry, before adding foundation over the glue.
For the rest of the face I applied my colour correction primer and then on top of that I put my foundation, which I set with my press power. (I also applied power over my eyebrows.) I also went and contoured my cheeks and under my jaw bone using a matt brown eyeshadow.
Harlequin is so badass!
For the illusion of the mask, I outlined the shape of it with liquid eyeliner. To fill it in, (apart from the eyelids, we'll come back to the lids later!) I used a mixture of black eyeshadow and liner, as the eyeshadow was still not as black as I wanted it to be!

Now we can move onto the eyelids, for this I just used a pearl white eyeshadow, it doesn't have to be a perfection application as I think Harlequin is kinda unhinged and crazy! I applied liner to my upper lash line to give more depth. To finish the eye part and bring it all together apply mascara. I would have loved to have added some false lashes to this look to really amp up the drama, but sadly I didn't have any, but I really feel this look would benefit from having some lashes.

For the lips, I tried to attempt a normal application, but then I realized how cool it would be if she had cartoon lips! So I went past my lipline and just thought of the lip look I wanted to obtain. I know that sounds really weird haha! I did this look last October, so you'll have to forgive me for not remembering the exact way that I created this, I hope you can kinda get what I'm meaning!

Harle Is Ready To Roll!
