Skin so gold and bright, like an American

Oh the contradictions.
Who says you need rain to wear rain boots?
Yeah I walk around with an American flag like it's my purse.
Don't tell anyone this dress was meant to be worn to a party,
not running around in the field.
Did I tell you this was shot in the winter?
Sometimes we just have to break the rules.

MERMAID HAIR

This is how I created my mermaid hair! Gaga's video was such an inspiration and it's so easy! If you want to go bigger, curl more pieces, add extensions, wear a wig, do what you have to do!

Check out my other blog post for the makeup and watch the video as well!

MERMAID/LADY GAGA/HUNGER GAMES DISTRICT 4 Look!

Thanks to the Sephora Ariel Palette, I was inspired to create a look based on the palette. But then I thought, why just make it tailored to that palette, but encompass multiple looks into it as well. Thus, I came up with this look.

Inspired by Lady Gaga's hair and District Four from the Hunger Games, I created the perfect mermaid look for Halloween or any kind of themed event.

Check out the video below to see how I did the make-up.

Materials:

Swavorski Rhinestones from Artbeads

Glass Pearls from Michaels

Craft Seashells from Michaels

Tulip Body Glue from Michaels

Alice in Wonderland Palette by Urban Decay

Telescopic Mascara by L'oreal

Cosmetics from Victoria's Secret

Four Shadow Palette by MAC Cosmetics

Viva Glam Gaga by MAC Cosmetics

Acne Solutions Clearing Solution by Clinique

Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder by Clinique

Foundation by MAC Cosmetics

The make up colors were chosen to recreate a sandy beach while giving an airy, mystical-like glow hence there are no harsh lines in the design. Any colors would work, I just personally like these. Good luck!

Homecoming Dress Shopping at Windsor!

Dress #1

I LOVE BLUE! As if you couldn't tell already with my blue hair, but there's something about a dark blue that makes things so pretty. Like this dress. Showing off the back always appeared elegant to me so this V back opening is not too sexy while showing a little off, but still classy. Drapey/peacock earrings and bangles would perfect accessorize this as well

I couldn't find the actual link to this dress but here is a similar one. Silver colored shoes would bring out the sequins of the upper part of this dress.

Dress #2
Perfect for mermaid related events! I would totally pair it with a tiara and for those of you who get nominated, this would be your dress. You can wear the tiara and not look to flaunty. Shelled accessories would bring out the mermaid look. Honestly, I would wear my Damsels or Nightwalk Lita's with this dress.

Dress #3
If you're daring enough to wear red, I really like this one. Because red is already a bold color, the simpleness of this dress is very nice. The dress I tried on had gold detailing but the one in the link appears to be silver, so whichever color it is for you, matching it with the same accessories would work. Nude or black heels would probably be best.

Dress #4
FAVORITE ONE YET! This one totally caught my eye when I was looking for dresses and the best part about it is that is has straps! No need to worry about anything falling down. Champagne doesn't work for all skin type unfortunately, and I was afraid that it would blend too much with my skin, but it was not an issue. This dress comes in other colors without the glitter/sparkle so it's more muted, but I adore the champagne with the glitter. I would wear mint or red heels with this dress and accessories to match the heels or any metallic colors.
