BiohazardousBeauty Tribute

Hi! So I am super excited about this, as I've been wanting to do something along these lines for quite a long time! BiohazardousBeauty is a YouTuber and Blogger who I've been following since I first got into makeup. I absolutely love her work, and she is seriously my greatest inspiration. Please check out her channel and blog! This look is based off of a recent look of hers, for which the tutorial is here . Also, you can find it on her Instagram here . I saw a picture of the look and immediately fell in love! She used the Kat von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette, which I don't have, unfortunately. So I tried to put together the same look, except using dupes from my own collection. Hopefully, I have succeeded in reproducing the look fairly faithfully, and in a way that does justice to my greatest inspiration. (Though the wings of my eyeliner are completely different. I wish  I had the skill to create wings like hers.) Products Used: Urban Decay P...

I was running low on time before I had to leave, so I decided to go with something easy. This NYC Sparkle Eye Dust (I have two of them) is honestly really great because of its amazing duochrome. While it may not be entirely visible on camera, in person it looks like a complex green-blue blended eye. Products Used: Ulta Eyeshadow Primer in Bare NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Aquamarine Sparkle (886) Ulta Eyeshadows in Mosaic (light blue), Sterling (silver) Ulta Highlighter in Cool Highlight Ulta Gel Eye Liner in Black Essence Long-Lasting Eye Pencil in C'Est La Vie! (05) (silver) Aquamarine blue soft eyeliner pencil [Sorry, but the name has long since rubbed off, so I can't give it.] Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara in Black (01)
