Greetings!
Many of you liked the last photo post with the black/red lipsticks and Neo Victorian hairstyles...So, I decided to invent another style...Basically it's inspired by the big hair of the 1980s and Deathrock.
I'd watched a few tutorials on you tube for hairstyling and out of those I performed my own. So here goes! And yes, the lipsticks are back! Black and red/pink in use once again...(Due to a comment on the before post stating that I should swap them around for various styles.)
Note: If these look like bad quality, blame my camera. It really messed up today and made my hair look all dry and hay like.
 |
| The back is in a high pony tail turned bun, and my bangs and other hair are teased. |
 |
| Heavy teasing in the front and a little teasing on the actual bun to create frizz and volume. |
 |
| So, does black lipstick suit this style? |
 |
| As you can see, my bangs need a cut. |
 |
| This is the full side view so you can see the style. |
 |
| Next time I might not do any teasing and just leave it straight. |
 |
| The lipstick wasn't actually so bold looking, just thank my silly camera for making things out of proportion. |
 |
| Fairly simple makeup here: Grey eyeshadow and black eyeliner pencil, black lipstick and bronzer on the sides. A touch of mascara also. Hm. Do I suit the more 'outlined' eye look? |
 |
| Hair at it's puffiest. :) |
Well, that's it. I like to think of this style as I fell out of my bed/I jumped out of my grave...with a side of hairstyling elegance. :D
For this style it's wise to use hairspray for full teased effect, but as I was lazing around I didn't bother.
Anyhow...
Farewell!

I think the black lipstick suits best in the pictures, but be careful to wear it outside (different light, ...). ;)
I love the black lipstick. Black lipstick is great. However, if I were you, I'd lose the bronzer and change it out for a blush (or neither, with black lipstick). Does the same job, but problem with bronzers is as soon as you step outside, BLAM you're orange.
Bronzer is good for pictures though, especially if you're a little lillywhite like myself.
@Gwen: True, I only intend to wear it during photoshoots. Don't want everybody to get freaked out too soon. :S
@Kitty: I actually hate bronzer but I wanted to use it for this photo shoot, it won't be used again. Reminds me too much of the time I used an orange shade of foundation. *gah*
That reminds me of That One Time a professional makeup artist did my makeup. Their palest shade was EXTREMELY yellow and the poor (spanish born, in her defense) girl did not understand that I enjoy being pale. She got so confused. Poor dear.
What kind of black lipstick did you use here?
@OddGhoulOut
The lipstick was an unknown brand, I just picked it up for about $1 in a small shop.
It was bad quality though, so to even things out I rubbed black kohl eyeliner over it, stopped stuff from smudging and turning grey. Nothing special :D
