Pop/comic makeup seems to be the trend this year, and I fell in love with one particular look from Beauty with Tashy.

Loved the colors, and looked simple enough to give it a shot. And this is my effort at it.

It’s just ok. I could have done a thousand times better. Here’s what I did wrong:

• I used my Absolute NY Ink Pen rather than what I was going to originally use; my black Fluidline from MAC and an eye liner brush. The tip is perfect for eyeliner use, but I found it too soft to create makeup art. I had to press down, which caused me to mess up. And this stuff stays on so well, it was irritating my skin rubbing so hard to take it off.
• I forgot to pick up the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil. So I ended up using my NYX Slim Eye Pencil #fail. The circles obviously were going to be uneven. And they certainly were.
• Had to use hot pink eye shadow because yellow does not show up on my skin. It didn’t matter how much white primer I used, yellow is my base color and it just did not show up. And I was using the highly pigmented yellow that comes in the Morphe 35B palette.
• My eyebrows were not filled in correctly, and a bit uneven.
• I did the white dots last, I should have done them first.
• I put lipstick on before the liner.

I’m going to try it again tonight, correcting the hot mess I did above. Hopefully it’ll be better, and I’ll share the results up on our Instagram.

And here’s some filter fun:
