Make Your medoll look like...

Hey divas! Gia here, late again as usual. Maybe Perez should have called my piece "Fierce Sunday". Too bad there's nothing fierce about it. Sunday is when I'm in my house, blogging and such (total snore). So here we go. This week I wanted to start a new segment called "Make your medoll look like..." Of course this segment will mainly be about me, trying to show you dolls how to make your medoll look like various celebs. I used a bit of photoshop editing this time just to tighten up the looks, but not much. These looks should be simple and easy for you to recreate. Feel free to give your suggestions as to who I should do next. Remember, extreme makeup only. No boring celebs who only wear lipgloss and eyeliner. We've seen that already. Give us someone fresh and colorful. Someone fierce. I decided to start with some of my favorite people...who I adore.

Are you ready?


Raquel Reed
Makeup Artist, Pop Star, Model



Here's my version of Raquel Reed on Stardoll. Her hair is one of my favorite colors (turquoise) and her makeup is so glamourous. I wish I could have recreated the lip tattoo but I'm not that advanced yet. lol. I photoshopped the eyes green here and nothing else. The rose headband was the closest I could get to recreating the rose that Raquel is wearing. And Stardoll, why dont we have the Raquel bangs for our doll? Just asking. I ended up using the Sunny bunny harajuku bangs instead. Pink lips , purple and white eyeshadow and lots of blush is just ONE of Raquel's many signature looks.

Jefree Star
Makeup artist, DJ, Model, Popstar

This look was fun to create. Stardoll has so many of his features.
I used photoshop to make his eyebrows pink.
It would be so nice if SD had that feature because pink hair and matching brows is just too cute for words. Ruubin gave me the idea to do his makeup when she mentioned how flawless it always is. Jefree is disgustingly beautiful.


Audrey Kitching
Scene queen,Glamour goth princess, hair stylist, model
Audreys hair is always pink. Pink and black, pink and blond, pink and purple. But you can bet your bottom dollar there will be pink. Oh, how I adore anything to do with pink. Including Audrey. I even added an extra mole just like hers. She always has the most interesting makeup. I love how the blue is on the top
and bottom as well. Simple, yet still fierce.


Ganjuro/mamba Girls
Japanese fashion scene outcasts, free spirits,lovers of white makeup
This is not Halloween makeup. There are girls in Japan who wear this makeup everyday proudly.Yes, they look ridiculous, but I love them. They don't care what anyone thinks, and they are rebelling against the standards of Japan. Stepping outside of the box, if you will. I actually got to talk to some Ganjuro girls and center guys (what they refer to the men who wear this style) when I was in Ikeburo. They looked pretty intimidating, shallow and weird but they were actually very nice...White paint is their vice. Here i used a few random items to create the eye sticker look and also painted the line down her nose with photoshop to top off this look. I had fun doing this. I hope you had fun looking at it.


and last but not least...


HELLO KITTY
Multi-billion dollar Feline, cartoon, loved by millions, doesn't speak.


The hello kitty bow on Stardoll inspired me. I got to wondering what kitty would look
like if she was a medoll. Well here she is. And I finally found a use for that god awful shaggy dog hair style. I only used white and yellow eyeshadow on her to match kittys nose. I used photoshop to remove the mouth. Disturbingly cute.

What do you think?

Close Your Eyes...


And pretend that its Friday. Because that's
when I was supposed to post this.
New writer here: CommesDesGarcon for Fierce Friday.
I'll be posting my crazy makeup ideas here, along with anything
else I think you divas might enjoy.
I'm no amazingly awesome makeup artist like the other 2 girls, but I'm
pretty good at doing my dolls makeup and I have a few wild ideas
you might enjoy that are just too fierce not to share:


Green with Envy
Here I used 3 shades of shadow to create this plethora of green. After applying the normal shades, I used the "LUXE" brand eyeshadow to add a sparkle to all of the colors.
A dark green lip with a little gloss and a few streaks of green highlights top off this look.
No blush is needed as this look is already overly embellished. Don't be afraid to go out of the lines and don't be bland, USE COLOR.

Fly girl And to think, this is one of my softer, more conservative looks.
Mix and match colorful eyeliners and hair highlights to create a fun look.
Whether its your medoll or your actual face, loud lipclolor is usually overkill
when your eyeshadow is this bright, so I used a neutral orange to match the dolls skin tone
instead of a loud pink. Large lashes on the bottom create that "babydoll" look. Lighter toned eyebrows soften the face, so here I used brown instead of a harsher black.



Black Widow Fierce This doll obviously does not play any games.
A lot of people don't know this but I love gothic style.
Especially 18th century style goth, which is what influenced the hair.
The black hearts on the cheeks and pointy bang and bow make this look appear very Gothic Lolita. Lolita is the evil cousin of Harajuku. I love both styles and cannot get enough of them. Red stained lips, ghostly white porcelain skin and black eyeshadow complete this look.
Try different lashes to get that extreme eye. The thin eyebrows accentuate the strong browline to give her that sinister look.


Winter Faerie
This look is strictly for the runway. Definitely not something you'd wear to senior prom.
All white everything.
Here I used one of my favorite newest items from
SD shop (Sunny Bunny) the white contact lenses.
They have them in several colors and I wear them every chance I get.
A white eyeliner with a small amount of white eyeshadow and a white lip with gloss is used to create this eerily wintry look. Adjusting the eyebrow color all the way to 0% gives the illusion of no eyebrows at all.
Turn the blush all the way up to white to create the pale cheeked look.
Decorate with silver and white jewelry.
****

Extras:
I found the cutest thing ever today:
Hello Kitty Eyeshadow.
I almost died.
Smeared Lipstick... so odd, yet I'm mysteriously drawn to it.
The white wig really adds to the drama of this look. Ive actually seen a few Medolls with it.
So cool.


Next Fierce Friday:

The makeup of Scene Queen Raquel Reed. One of my favorite people.
And there you have it dolls,
Just a few wild looks you can try if you get bored around the house, want to scare some friends,
or maybe for a haute photo shoot? The possibilities are endless.
If you try any of the looks I post on yourself email me a photo and maybe I will feature you in one of my posts.
See you on Friday.

Happy Painting,
CommesDesGarcon

Cheap Thrills: Wet n' Wild Deadly Sins eyeshadow palettes

I'm a big fan of drugstore make-up, I love brands like Maybelline, Cover Girl, and lately even Wet n' Wild! I had avoided it for a long time because a few things I had tried had been cheap not just in price but also in quality, but lately they've really been stepping up the quality of their products. My recent favorite has been their deadly sins eyeshadow palettes. There are four, and they're named after the sins Greed, Pride, Lust, and Vanity. The quality of these eyeshadows is comparable to MAC and Nars shadows, in fact I found a few color dupes for both high-end brands in my Wet n' Wild Lust palette:

Lust
Top Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Yogurt
2nd Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Fig. 1, Nars "Electric Aubergine" from the Eurydice eyeshadow duo
3rd Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Blackberry

Top Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Vanilla
2nd Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Silvering, Nars "Graphite" from the Eurydice eyeshadow duo
3rd Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Beauty Marked (this one is similar, but Beauty Marked is definitely more pigmented and the glitter is a lot more noticable in it once swatched)

All of these, with the exception of the one that resembles Beauty Marked, are practically identical to the more expensive version. In fact, the one that resembles Blackberry is actually smoother and easier to blend than Blackberry is.

MAC eyeshadows are $14.50 each, and the NARS eyeshadow duos are $33.00 each ($23.00 for the single eyeshadows). I got these Wet n' Wild eyeshadow palettes for $3.99 each on sale at Target! That's 4 bucks for six high quality eyeshadows, less than a third of the cost of ONE single MAC or NARS shadow! Not on sale they're about 5 or 6 dollars each, depending on where you get them, which is still a crazypants bargain. If you're just starting out with make-up, and you don't have a lot of money to spend, these are the best palettes you can get. I want all four, right now I'm missing Greed =/. Let me know if you want me to post dupes for Pride or Vanity!

What drugstore beauty product do you think is actually better than the more expensive brands'?

(Welcome) Makeup Starter kit!


Hi, and welcome to Toxxic Perez Beauty! For my first post I thought a makeup starter kit would be really awesome, because there is no point me starting tutorials when you don't know the basics, but if you know the basics already, there will be plenty more posts to come!

Im going to talk about 4 must haves for your eye makeup collection, I didint want this post to be too long so I thought I would start off with eyes, since that's my favorite to talk about!

Primers: A primer acts as a base that keeps your eyeshadow separated from your eyelid, it helps your eyeshadow to be more vibrant, stay longer and prevent creasing! Some of my favorite primers:

Urban Decay Primer Potion ~ Toofaced shadow insurance

Eyeshadow! Of course this is going to be important, but if you are just starting out with makeup, you may not know the best deals round', so I would defiantly recommend getting a Coastal Scents pallet, they are highly pigmented and great prices! Some of my favorite Pallets:
Brushes are probably the most important part of makeup, if you have good quality brushes your makeup application is going to be so much more professional looking, kill those sponge tip applicators -.-
Sigma professional brush role ~ Elf brushes ~ Eco Tools

Mascara
I only have 3 words to say to you, Maybelline Great Lash, the cheapest and the best!
(most Makeup artists use this for fashion shows...)


I hope you enjoyed this post!

Question: If you could only have 1 eye product what would it be?
