Outfit of the Day 3/13/10

Add a high wasted black skirt to a cool tee for a chic look. To really be on top, add textured tights or pants with details, like the rips in this pair. Go for a simple shoe and fierce makeup to unify the look.

Makeup Tutorial

1) After Clearing Makeup, add Volumizing Mascara AND lengthening mascara to your lashes liberally. This makeup tutorial makes the eyes the focal point.

2) Add white kohl to the inside of the eye and black kohl to the outer edges. Do this fast!!! It may take practice. Stardoll times you, and after a certain point won't allow you to apply anymore kohl. Fill in missed spots with black liquid eyeliner.

3)Apply white eyeshadow to the inside of the eye and brown (or any color) to the outside of the eye. Be careful and do this quickly. Stardoll times you, like with kohl. This is only one layer of brown and two of white, but aim for two layers of brown.

4) Change your lip color to a color that blends in with your skin tone, or choose a neutral lipstick. Remember, your eyes are the focal point. The best makeup artists make it so you CANT see their lips.

5) Apply fake lashes BELOW the eye like in the picture. This gives your doll a cute quality when viewed from afar. It will look strange in the Medoll Editor, but great in your suite.

Other makeup trends to take note of:

Adding heavy, pink blush right below the eye (looks like sunburn, beachy)

Add light blue tears, pink stars, etc. to irises to change their color

Freckles, but only on the cheeks

Moles (1 sd) as eyeliner and mascara

Braces as scares(unappealing in my opinion)

Should I do more makeup tutorials? I hope you enjoyed this one!

How to Wear Metallics

When wearing metallics, it is important not to make the outfit too busy. It is okay to add one more statement piece- in this case, the animal print tights. Everything else should be neutral and calm to really let your metallic shine. Also, when wearing one of more metallic in one outfit, make sure they go together! Stardoll has displayed many outfits lately that simply aren't flattering. Let your metallics shine and take center stage.
