As I’m having my second childhood living the Sindy lifestyle and accumulating a lot of makeup in different colours have had my memory brought back.
Remembered life drawing the other day and found Da Vinci colours.
This must of inspired my makeup look this week as I used painting colours for my eye shadow.
Can’t help notice how much they look like paint palettes from when I was little.
Then I remembered painting by numbers colouring books.
We used to get paper dolls too.
Hopefully getting somewhere with my makeup now.
I opted for orange, pale blue, white, charcoal and warm deep brown.
It is similar to the Aziza look and I get it now.
Will do purple next maybe.
This is piles of makeup but more natural looking. The Aziza look was for Halloween.
I put orange where the blue is, pale blue where the pink is, white under the eyebrow, brown in the corners of the eyelid, then charcoal on the crease line.
It is like you are painting on a natural face, but more how you want to look than your natural face if you are like me and need some makeup.
Need to learn how to blur the lines now as the blusher looks too contrasty.
Happier with my eyebrows, they are always going to be fine, even if they grow back, but the serum has made a more defined shape.
The Mona Lisa Eyebrows are actually quite fine .
Can see how this painting inspires pro makeup artists that went from Art School into being a makeup artist.

The green colours are the background, got a few face colours right. One and 2 are foundation and powder.
Hopefully putting on makeup will become a relaxing pastime.
This is my favourite Manicure to date.
Need strawberry cheescake lipstick color to match the nails and dress.
Used to be my favourite lipstick colour too.
Conclusion
I’ve used a lot of colour from colourful palettes, but finding a way to look natural as I don’t suit makeup looks.
Managed to conceal under my eyes.
Just using Rimmel and Collection now, unless I find other transluscent makeup.
I used blue, orange, brown and charcoal, it looks natural as it is colours you use in life painting.
This continues the idea of makeup artists being like actual artists.
Quite enjoyed this.
I think these colours were in fashion once, but not sure which era.
You can do the same idea with all the colours, it is based on colour theory but not fashion colour theory as it doesn’t always work for me.
Really like the Aziza look but haven’t any new pink eyeshadow.
The Aziza look isn’t natural as people don’t have bright pearly blue eyelids.
I’m happy to do both as I’m living the Sindy lifestyle.
The light blue is used to paint life models ~ I’m not very good at life drawing but the people who were used certain blue shades to paint flesh.
Qualified with a design degree though so must be good at something.
Looking forward to experimenting more.
If you like the colour selection all my products are in star makeup.
Will be purchasing a few new products every week ~ then trying them out and blogging them and the links.
We can’t all be natural beauties like the Mona Lisa, but with modern day makeup we can have a good go at faking it.
Mine might be a bit toddler like as I’m having my second childhood.
Hope this inspired you.
