Fish Mooney Inspired Tutorial: Featuring Maybelline The Nudes Palette

Posted on November 6, 2014 | Leave a comment

I am a huge fan of the TV series Gotham. One of the reasons is Jada Pinkett Smith. She plays a brand new character created just for this series, Fish Mooney. What is cool about this show is that it gives the origin stories of the characters. We grew up reading about Batman in the comic book series from DC Comics. We saw the characters play out in the Batman TV show from the 1960s. There have also been various Batman movies. Let’s not forget about the TV cartoons.

I will admit the Fish Mooney character stands out for me because of her makeup. I used the Maybelline the Nudes Palette to create this Fish Mooney inspired look. Enjoy!

Applied the lightest shade from the second quad to the entire lid up to the brow bone

Applied the gold shade to the first half of the lid and also the inner corner

Applied the bronze shade to the outer half of the lid

Applied the shimmery brown shade to the crease

Applied the dark brown shade from the third quad to the outer V

Affordable Halloween Style

Posted on October 31, 2014 | Leave a comment

My youngest daughter Naomi and her friends decided to wear Halloween costumes today. They are all way past the age of trick or treating too. LOL! Buying a Halloween costume is almost like buying an outfit you’re only going to wear one time.

This is what Naomi wore. She called herself the Magical Mad Hatter.

The hat she is wearing is actually two hair accessories she borrowed from me. The bow tie is another hair accessory she borrowed.
The necklace is mine along with the red shirt.
The vest, black jeans, and boots are hers.
The cape is a long cardigan of mine.

This is what her makeup consisted of:

Eyes

Naked Basics Palette
Naked applied to the entire lid and brow bone.
Faint applied to the crease
Crave applied to the outer V
Venue applied to the inner corner
NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Silver used as a brow bone highlight
Wet n Wild® Mega Liner® Liquid Eyeliner in Black applied to the upper lash line
Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 8L applied to the water line
Make Up For Ever Aqua Eye in 21L applied to the lower lash line
NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Brunette
L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara
Ardell Accent Lashes #315

Lips

NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Maroon
NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Absolute Red

Face

BH Liquid Foundation in Mocha
