Snow White-Inspired Look

Halloween is this week! I'm so excited to dress up and transform myself, as I have mentioned in previous posts. It's such a great way to really test the power of makeup and see how far you can transform your entire look based on illusion. 
My freshman year, I was Mulan (scroll to the middle of the post) for Halloween, last year, I was Pocahontas, and this year, I plan to be Snow White. However, I also showed another completely different idea for a potential Halloween look: the Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skull. 
My original plan was to be Rapunzel after her hair cut, but I have not been able to get everything I needed for her costume, nor will I have the money before Halloween. 

Instead, I opted for Snow White, another short-haired princess.

If you're a short-haired black-haired or brunette girl, Snow White is a pretty easy princess to look like even if you don't have the costume. 

All you need for makeup: + Your favorite foundation, preferrably in a shade that is at least a shade lighter than your usual shade (this depends on your natural skin color). I sampled the Japonesque Airbrush Foundation in Shade 3 for this look. You want a medium to full coverage foundation to mimic Snow White's "perfect" and porcelain-like complexion. 
+ Eyebrow powder/pencil. Fill in your brows to look dark and to frame your face using whatever you normally use. I used a no-brand eyebrow powder for this look. 
+ Any white and brown eyeshadow. My shimmery white eyeshadow was from Urban Decay's Ammo Palette in "Polyester Bride." This was to make my eyes look bigger and to just add some color to my rather simple look. My matte brown eyeshadow was to add dimension to my eyelids. It was from Makeup Forever's Artist Shadows in color M626 (Neutral Brown). 
+ Liquid liner. Line your eyes lightly and wing out the line just a little. Snow White's eyes look pretty natural, so the liner shouldn't be too heavy either. I used Nyx's Super Skinny Eye Marker. 
+ Your favorite mascara. I've been using L'Oreal's Miss Manga Mascara. It's my current favorite mascara because it's waterproof and friendly to my stick-straight Asian eyelashes that can't hold a curl. 
+ Red lipstick! This is Snow White's signature part about her makeup, so this is very important! I used City Color Cosmetics' City Chic lipstick in Paris By Night. I did a review and swatch of this lipstick earlier this year. To keep the color from feathering I also used a nude lip liner beforehand. It was Nyx's Retractable Lip Liner in Natural. 
+ BONUS: For hair, curl just the bottom ends of your hair to similarly recreate Snow White's hair. You don't have to, but it adds onto the look, especially if you will not be dressing up in her costume.

11 Random Facts:

1. I love spicy food! When something isn't spicy already, I add Sriracha or Tabasco to my food to make it spicy. Yum. 

2. I have only been to three other countries other than the U.S. of A, all on different continents: Philippines (Asia), Australia (Australia), and Peru (South America). And I live in North America!

3. I recently got super into One Direction. It's pretty bad, but as a singer myself I must say they are talented!

4. I am 5'2", making me one of the tallest women on my mom's side of the family. 

5. As a kid my dad used to make me sing at weddings and birthday parties. I love to sing but I hated that my dad would force me to perform. 

6. I have shot a gun before (two, actually!). My boyfriend, Darell, took me to a shooting range for a date recently. I was terrified because I'm so clumsy and could've accidentally killed someone, but it was cool!

7. I'm pretty sure that my boyfriend loves League of Legends more than me.

8. As a kid, I always wished I was a tomboy. I loved dressing up, but I also wanted to be considered "one of the boys" so I tried playing sports and hanging around them in elementary school. Unfortunately, I sucked at every sport except dodgeball. 

9. Other than the fashion-type TV shows and dramas on ABC Family that I love, most other shows I like are very much "girl power," female protagonist shows--Sailor Moon, Totally Spies, and Legend of Korra--all cartoons by the way!

10. I am a hopeless romantic. Chick flicks, long letters, grand romantic gestures--I love it all. 

11. I am a foodie. I take so many pictures of my food! (These are only a small select few; I have so much more than this!)

Pocahontas Look

I finally got around to doing my first makeup tutorial! I am not a beauty guru by any means, but I like having fun with makeup. As a result, I made my first tutorial on looking like Pocahontas. Just in time for Halloween!

There was so much more that I wanted to do with the look and video but I was pressed for time. However, I still had a great time with my friend Sammi for it! By the way, special thanks to her for doing lighting and recording for me!

I kept the look simple with some contouring, eyeliner, and lipstick to highlight her really big lips. I didn't realize it until I stared at some ten or so pictures of her. I tried to do her outfit too with what I had: a dress and necklace I borrowed from two of my friends. 

Something that you don't have to do but is suggested is to recreate Pocahontas' tattoo! I would use body paint if I had it, but in this case I just used a pinkish-reddish lipstick and used concealer to fix the lines.

Please watch, comment, like, subscribe, anything! I'd love some love on my video [: I'd love to make more like these in the future!
