JULY 2008: voluptuous vamps

[kimmy]

monthly challenges are back, ladies and gentlemen! (and from now on, i'll try to post them before the month is halfway over...haha!) feel free to pm me if you have any questions or suggestions for upcoming challenges. remember, no prizes are given out for the challenges, they're just for fun to see what we can all come up with and share ideas/inspiration!

this month, come show off your best over-indulgent, sultry vamp look! think glamourous, sexy, dark and daring!

* please remember the image size guidelines when posting your challenge faces, as this is still part of the fotd forum and nobody likes stretched tables. you don't have to post what you used, but i'm sure there's alot of us who would love to see what you used in your creation.

first post (eep!) bear with me if I screw up

am a photography student as well as mua so this was a shoot I did not too long ago with my old roommate..I hope it fits the bill (even though it's not quite the most vampy of vamps), the lips were a bit darker but I had to brighten up the photo a bit to put on my website. I was inspired by this Fall/ Winter 2004 ad of Christina Ricci for LV



well, there it is, my first post

after lurking for uhh...a very long time, nice to officially meet you all!

O hey! My first FOTD here! I didn't even know there was a vamps challenge going on when I did this look. I didn't mean to look like a vampire, either :|

I was playing around with a sample eyeshadow quad from Lancome
Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold

False lashes are Echos in DG

The lips were done with Maybelline Superstay Lip Gloss in Wine Shimmer. By the way, ladies, don't use this if you're going to be out where there's heat. Mine MELTED!!! down my chin, thus amplifying the vampire effect...

Face - Silk Naturals foundation. I can't remember what blush I used for the life of me...

vamp
n 1: a seductive woman who uses her sex appeal to exploit men
[syn: coquette, flirt, minx, tease] - vixen works too imo

just so we're all on the same page

I love the lips by the way,
miss alienman (nice sn! lol), sucks about the melty vampire thing!

oh, and in response to kimmy-- I try to write down what makeup
I use for my shoots, so I'll look up what that lip color was a
mix of (I seem to be unable to use less than three at a time, lol,
my models think I'm crazy..but I needed THAT color, you know?)
will post back, I can't wait to see more takes on the vamp look.

this might be the one challenge i actually do.

I usually don't like doing heavy looks like this because my face can't really take a lot of makeup and I end up looking like a man. But this was really fun to do. Not something I'd wear everyday.

This would be a fun challenge to do once Cult of Cherry comes out.

- Urban Decay lip stain in 'envy'
- L'Oreal Endless in 'saucy sangria'
***- Revlon Creme de la Chrome (how clever.) in 'plum appeal' (so pigmented and opaque-- the most important lip color in this mix by far)
- Zuri l/s in 'ruby valentine' (gorgeous line of cheapo lipsticks for dark skintones, I loooove them, am only able to find them at a scary superwalmart in georgia tho.)

hth, sorry that I'm so mix-happy, lol.

Aww, thanks. But seriously, I feel like I look so "draggish". I like doing brighter looks. Maybe it's just out of my comfort level.

 

[aimerbijoux]

Wow you all look stunning. Next friday I might have something to post, since i'll be wearing red lipstick and smokey eyes for a party, but now i'm a little intimidated lol

 

[singinmys0ng]

kimmy, those are the sexiest lips ever.

Chocolate goddess, you look great, not dragish at all, you really pull off the look

 

[PBunnieP]

Still a noob with this "more than one eyeshadow colour" thing... Hope I didn't do too bad

*I tried to pair it up with some props.

Here is me having a go at it. I think I was definitely channeling the voluptuous vixen vibe that night (or at least the voluptuous part, lol)

[Sundae]

Ok, chocolate Goddess, I think we need to know what you used for your look. I'm loving it. Can you do a tut for this??

 

[chocolategoddes]

Urmmm... I really don't remember EVERYTHING but I think I used:

eyes:
Milani Storm
Random Avon bronze eye shadow
HIP cream liner
WetnWild highlight e/s

cheeks:
NYX pecan blush
same Avon bronze powder

lips:
purple lip balm (forgot from where)

LOL sorry... i totally forgot what I used.
