Day 17- Red Velvet "Dumb Dumb" Inspired Makeup Part 1.

So technically today is Day 16 of my 19 Days of Halloween, but the WiFi was down yesterday so I'll have two post for you. I really like the cute doll makeup look that Red Velvet had for "Dumb Dumb". Going as a doll would be a super cute costume for Halloween. If you get a group of friends maybe all of you would be able to go as Red Velvet. I was planning on filming a tutorial but my camera was dead, so I went along with the makeup look anyway. I used reference photos of the girls to help get this look.
You can use your regular foundation routine for this look. 1.) First you're going to want to prime your eyes with your favorite primer 2.) Take an orange-brown eye shadow and pat it down close to your lashes. Don't place the shadow all over your eye. Apply the shadow in the shape of a cat eye. Place on your bottom lash line and a little below it. 3.) Next line your eyes, keeping the eye liner close to your lash line. For the wing, I used an eye shadow brush to help guide me, first outlining the shape I wanted with black eye shadow and then using a felt tip pen over it. Make sure your eye shadow can still be seen around the cat eye. Also, they don't have eye liner on their bottom lashes, so don't apply any there. 4.) Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara. Make sure to show love to your bottom lashes and have them stand out. If you want, find the most doll like fake lashes and use them. 5.) Now time for the blush! You can use either a bright pink or red blush for this look, I used a rosy red blush. Smile and apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks. I then brushed it up following my natural cheek bone. 6.) You're first going to need to apply foundation or concealer on your lips. I then used a E.L.F's Lip Tint in "Berry" on my lips but you can use a red or pink lipstick. I applied the color on the center of my lip, so that would be the reddest, and then blended the color out onto the rest of my lips, so it had a gradient feel. 7.) The Hair! I combed my hair up into a ponytail then I twisted it and placed a hair tie in the middle and then continued to twist it, placing another hair tie at the end. They have their hair in braids, but I suck at braiding, so i found twisting it was easier.
If you want there are cool tutorials on YouTube to watch or you could wing it and just look at their pictures. I will be posting a part two, to the look, to give it more of a spooky feel. Off to go do that.
