Sophie-Anne... of sorts.

God, it feels like it's been forever since my last post, even though I've actually had a makeup look just sitting there on my camera; I keep forgetting to upload it.  I've been pretty lazy on the makeup front lately, mostly just throwing on some concealer, powder and eyeliner in the mornings before I go to class, but I am absolutely going to do at least one look a week from now on, even if it is just a monday one.

I've also just started on a weight management plan (that sounds so much better than calling it a diet...) that my new gym, Curves, runs.  I'm hoping that the combination of the diet and the more intense exercise- I used to go to a vibrating gym, the ones where you work out on a high-intensity vibrating platform, but I didn't really see many results- will help me get to the size I want to be.  If only that label on my jeans read 14 instead of... well.  Nobody needs to know that!

Anyway, that's my life at the moment, and on to some makeup!

So, last post I said how I wanted to try a look like Sophie-Anne Leclerq, the vampire queen on True Blood, but I thought it was too casual.  I went to my mate's place for a party a little while ago, and I decided that I may as well rework the Sophie look into something that looked like an evening look, but still had a certain element of casualness to it.  I skipped the red lipstick- it goes so quickly when I'm drinking, and I'm hopeless at reapplying red once I get tipsy..- but the look is essentially still inspired by everybody's favourite ginga vampire.  Let me know what you think!

What I used:

Eyes:  Blackbox eyeshadows in wood brown and brown black, ChiChi highlight in Porcelain Princess, ChiChi eyeshadow in metallic silver.  BYS eyeliner pencil in black.  Maybelline Great Lash mascara in black.

Face:  No7 foundation in 01 Opal, Thin Lizzy conceealer in Enchanted Rose, ChiChi powder blush in She Bangs, Nude by Nature mineral powder finishing veil.

Lips: Unbranded pink lip pencil.
