Recs for Arwen - LOTR

[alysia56]

Hey, ladies and gents. I need some help. My son plans to be Gandalf for Halloween and that means I get to be Arwen Evenstar. I've got the costume and the latex ears, and it seems like the make-up should be easy, but . . . nothing is easy for me.

Here are a couple of pics, so you can get a feel for what I'm going for. The first one definitely gives a better idea of the face and eyes, but I like the lips in the second. I read somewhere that Pink Swoon blush was recommended, but other than that, I am at a total and complete loss. Oh...and I'm assuming white liner on the lower rim.

Thank you all so much! Alysia is daft...

And darn it, for some reason the images aren't working, so here are links:

I found a site that might be of help. It even seems some MAC was used in the actual films

Arwen Makeup

in the Return of the King her lips look something that maybe CoC So Scarlet l/s. also if you want that glow use something like Strobe Cream or a similar product to achieve the "elven glow" look and a highlighter.

Well, thanks! That sure does make it easier.

Can I ask another dumb question, though? She does not appear to "glow" to me. All I can think is that I sure as heck am gonna have to be extra-matte that day. I guess "glowy" and "shiny" can be two different things, though.

I have Ulta shadow in Penny: http://www.ulta.com/images/products/large/1951094.jpg
and I'm assuming I could use that in the crease. Over an off-white base. You think? except....that I think I need something with no glitter or shine to it. Maybe I'm wrong.

I need to delve through my l/s., as I've probably got about 40 shades tucked away somewhere. But definitely an aplified creme as opposed to a frost, right?

Maybe Galadriel is the more glowy one but in this pic Arwen does have a apparent glow, or "dewy" look to her face. But I think that's just a matter of taste really

I would think that the satin semi-matte finish would be best for the l/s, not anything really glittery tha also goes for the e/s, I wuld go for matte or satin finish, not anything overly glittery.
