Kill la Kill Series: Matoi Ryuuko

“To hell with your opinion! I'll take my own path no matter what anyone else says!” 

Matoi Ryuuko is the main protagonist of the anime KILL la KILL. She is a tomboy who arrives at Honnouji Academy searching for the other half of her scissor blade, a clue that will help her find the person who murdered her father. Throughout the series, Ryuuko is a freaking badass character! I really loved her as a character and enjoyed seeing her in the show. She is a tomboy at heart, but she also displays a heartwarming girly side. For this Ryuuko inspired look, I decided to go for a darker blue and red look, since blue and red are her signature colors. I also added a bit of yellow from the yellow of her outfit (aka Senketsu's eye). I hope you enjoy this look!

Disney Series: Princess Jasmine (Aladdin)

Greetings my darlings!

I am a huge fan of Disney's Aladdin! When I was young, Aladdin was one of my favorite movies and I watched it all the time. I have always loved Jasmine's red outfit, more so than her usual blue outfit. I knew that if I did a Jasmine inspired look, I wanted it to be inspired by the red outfit, so that is what I'm doing today! I borrowed some aspects of the Arabic-style makeup: lots of eyeliner in the elongated, cat-eye shape. I knew I wanted to incorporate red in this look, but I didn't want it to be overpowering. So instead of doing a mostly red eye look, I made a neutral gold smokey eye with red on the lower lash line. I kept the rest of my face very neutral too. I quite like the way it turned out and I hope you all like this look too :D Keep reading for a step-by-step tutorial~

Disney Villains Series: Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog)

Greetings from the Dark Side~

"You can blame my friends on the other side"

I love the movie The Princess and the Frog, and I love Dr. Ficilier's song "Friend on the Other Side" even more. So I decided to do an inspired full face look based on his appearance during that song. Not only is he the movie's villain, but his look is very fitting for Halloween, which is only a few days away! This was my first time working with Aquacolors or with white face cream so I was super excited to do this look. I hope you all like it!

A Song of Ice and Fire Series: House Tully

"Family, Duty, Honor."

House Tully is one of the great houses in the Seven Kingdoms and which rules the Riverlands; their seat of power lies in Riverrun. The house sigil is silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field. Catelyn Stark, a major character in the series, is part of the Tully family, therefore making House Tully an important house in the series.

FOTD: Neutral and Pretty

 Greetings from the Dark Side!

 I love bright and dark eyeshadows, but that doesn't mean that I don't love to wear my neutrals. I especially love neutral looks that are shimmery and pretty. This look is not too difficult to create and you can definitely recreate it with many different products. It is a tad smokey but still super wearable for day and night. I particularly love this look for a night out because I don't have to worry about any smudging or eyeshadow fall out so it is easy to wear for a long period of time.

Honestly, this is a look that was inspired by a tutorial I saw on Youtube, but I cannot remember what video or whose video it was! If I remember I will include a link. 

(I remembered! It is Tanya Burr's makeup look on Ingrid, and it was so beautiful I wanted to try it out for myself! She did an amazing job. Check out her tutorial if you want to see how she does it step by step).

Last Minute Halloween Look: Psycho Anime Girl

Hello lovely followers!
I want to take some time to welcome any new followers :D Thank you for joining the Dark Side!

Halloween is literally a few days away! Are all of you planning to dress up? Here is another easy, last minute Halloween look you can do. Do  you have an old wig, maybe even some circle lenses? Then you can do a bloody/pyscho look! This isn't a complete psychopathic look; it is still cute and anime-like. This look would look much better with colored lenses or circle lenses to really make it look like an anime character, but my eyes are a little sensitive lately and I don't want to wear any lenses right now.

Haul + First Impression: Inglot

Hello!~

This is really exciting for me! My very first Inglot purchase ever!I have been lagging this post because of one thing which I will get into more in my first impression. But for now, let me show you what I purchased! Oh and just FYI, the closest Inglot store to me is in Las Vegas, but there is a counter in San Francisco too. I decided to order online because of the 20% off sale in August.

Inglot 3-pan palette
I decided to get the 3-pan instead of the 4 or 5 pan one because I wanted something compact that I can carry around easier.
