Mickey tries Barbie

Hi girls!! I've been so busy with the holidays then class starting, but when I saw the pink/green MAC Barbie look I had to try it! You all know I love being girly, and nothing's girlier than Barbie! haha This was a challenge for me, due to both a lack of skill and a lack of materials. It was also the most complicated eye I've ever done. The green lids were Sun Sparkle then Seafoam Covergirl eye enhancers, with Golder's Green MAC pigment over it. The crease was Covergirl eye enhancers in Aubergine Queen then Shimmering Onyx. The highlight was Pinked Mauve MAC pigment and a silver from Bonnebell's Girly Pinks quad. I used Too Faced Liquid Lavagloss Super Black eyeliner with Maybelline black liquid eyeliner over it to prevent smudging. Bourjois Coup de Theatre mascara and Covergirl soft brown brow pencil finished up the eyes. I tried overlining again with my Sephora Whirl lip pencil, and covered that with my Wet'n'Wild Megaslicks lipgloss. Covergirl TruBlend in Classic Ivory foundation, some brown powder for contouring, and ta da! The thing I couldn't really substitute anything for is the fuschia blush in the MAC pic, since I only have Maybelline Sweetheart Rose for blush, and not nearly enough pigment to want to waste it on my cheeks!

What do you girls think? I'm always grateful for advice and criticism, of course!

That looks fantastic!
I can't believe how far you've come in your artistry in such a short time. Congrats!

Your shading is awesome! The way you followed the contour of the eye is flawless.

The only thing I would do differently is maybe not go so high up with the colour on the inner part of the lid near the nose. Make the colour go up a little higher in the middle part of your eye (above your iris) and thin it out as you go inward. Leave the part right underneath your brow in the inner corner light.

Other than that, you look great, the pink really suits you and you look very pretty and girly. I'm jealous of your shiny hair too!

Thanks everyone!
I only went high on the inside because the promotional photo was like that. Of course, it also has a ton of blush high up by the eyes, so is probably not meant as a realistic everyday look. haha
