Monster High Series: Frankie Stein

A few years ago, I had to be somewhere rather early, and because I am not the most capable person first thing in the morning,  I had pulled my hair into bunches and slapped on a layer of dark lipstick because that was about what I could manage. I was in a lift heading to my destination, and a woman and and her small daughter were looking at me more than what I thought was necessarily polite, but I didn't say anything because I'm very non-confrontational. The woman finally said, "Sorry, we don't mean to be rude. It's just that you look like Draculaura." Her daughter giggled and smiled at me. Well, that got a smile out of me, and made having to be up and out that early totally worth it.

Recently, I've felt I was falling into a bit of a makeup rut and so I started looking for characters for inspiration. That little interaction popped into my head, which meant that Monster High was the first thing I went to. Also, it doesn't hurt that I have the same face shape that seems to be the only one in the Monster High universe, :p.

So here are two of my Frankie Stein inspired looks! I did one super cartoon face and one that's safe for travel among the Muggles.

I'm super pleased with how it turned out, both for this and for the more Muggle-safe look I did next:

This was the first time I've ever done such an exaggerated eye-shape using liner, and also the first time I've ever drawn on lashes. I used Kat Von D Tattoo liner for the really pointy inner eye and the four little lashes, and I don't think I would have been able to accomplish such a smooth line without it.

For both of the looks, I used Skimp and Frisk from the UD Naked Basics 2 palette, Sugarpill 2am, Femme Fatale Pumpkin Shrine and Desecration, and the white and acid green colours from the Sleek Acid palette. I also used Colourpop Monster for highlight all over the face. The lipstick for the more cartoonish look is Kate by Rimmel Alarm with Mac Hot House in the centre. I used some super pink blush right in the centre of my face, but I can't remember precisely what it was, nor did I write it down.

For the toned-down look, I did away with the exaggerated inner eye point and the extra white shadow there. I also used less purple and didn't blow it out as far up the brow bone. The lipstick is Colourpop Tootsi. I used Sugarpill Frostine as blush on the tops of my cheekbones with just a bit of Suburbia on the apples.

I think I'm going to do a whole series of Monster High-inspired looks because I had a ton of fun doing this one. Please let me know in the comments who I should be next!
