First image from a modeling photoshoot for Crimson Chain Leatherworks (and makeup close up) - I did not make this outfit, but was asked to wear CCLW’s hand made leather pieces and accessories. Having seen their pieces up close, I knew what great quality they were and I love this company’s design aesthetics. I am also wearing a winged jetpack which was a collaboration between us (my Steampunk wings and CCLW’s leather and metal work).

Makeup-wise, I went for a harder & edgier look, using Ben Nye red pigments to create the bold extended eye shadow, and MAC and Sephora brand shadows (3 shades) to my eyes, from highlights to the blackest black color. MAC and Sephora both make great black shadows and I highly recommend them. For this look I “overdrew” the eyeliner (MAC Fluidline) to the inner corners of my eyes. It’s usually something I only reserve for very staement-making makeup. I finished off the eyes with thick false lashes and bold eyebrows.
For my lips I used dark brown eyeliner pencil to contour, a dark red lipstick, a brush to blend the color to the lipliner, and gold shadow pigment for highlight. My blush is Bare Minerals.
