Snowflake make up - small tutorial + outfit

The day before Christmas Eve (in Sweden it's December 23) I was in need to buy some additional gifts. Well, need and need...I wanted to!

So I got into that Christmasy spirit that even us Goth people now can get after watching Nightmare Before Christmas slavishly for years.

I felt like a small vampire chick that just tasted her first blood drop as I went wild with my Kryolan Fluid Foundation TV-white and painted snowflake after snowflake on my pretty face. 
As I added the glitter I'm sure I felt the cold, black Goth heart of mine to acctually make a beat! It was THAT good!

Don't ever be fooled by my cute smile, I'd make your body cold in a heartbeat.

The making of the snowflakes

Kryolan Liquid Foundation TV-white is what I use as a "liner" together with an aquarelle brush, preferably made out of squirrel hair. I naturally only buy brushes made from roadkill squirrels ;)

I slap on the glitter by first dab my ordinary chapstick softly in the area where I want the glitter, then dip a round brush, and shake some off before dabbing it to the area.

The snowflakes was made by first making 3 lines like an "x" kind of, then painted one or two small "v" shapes on every line. I topped it off by using the wooden end on my aquarelle brush to make perfect dots. Secret out!

The coloring of the bangs

I colored my bangs like a candy cane by first using a small amound of Direction's Pink Flamingo, a small dash of Direction's Purple and all mixed with lots of conditioner to get my soft pink. It could have been lighter this time though.

For the streaks I used Direction's Poppy Red.

And the boarder of the bangs is Poppy Red, Pink Flamingo and Pink Flamingo with conditioner. I wanna lick it!

The pretty bows I made at my tea girls crafting evening. They are made from 3 different kinds of ribbons made into bows and hotglued on top of another. But before I glued on the last red bow I pressed an earring (that I bought cheap on sale) right trough, bended it on the backside and then glued it on top of the others. Hotglued a metal hairclip and some felt on backside.

Could I look any more like "What are you talking about? I don't understand.."

So posing :D  To bad it's blurry.

From the side as well. Sorry about the foundation slip around my little nose, but this is just before bedtime so it's a bit smudged after snorting glitter all day  :)
Great shot of my bow as well.

The contact lens is white with a slightly thicker black border (can't remember, but not Clearly Colors Special Effects: Manson)

The candy cane bangs. Well, not at it's best behaviour after being out in the wind all day.

Ehh...don't ask.

And then I was ready to go out and shop!

Too bad you can't see, but I'm wearing the most fab diamond sprinkled pantyhose from Kawaii Design. 

I'm wearing a pair of black tights under to make them darker.

To these pantyhoses!

Price 129 SEK.

Old picture of the day

I tried very hard to find a picture of me taken this exact day - but in the past time.

Went back all the way to 2005 without success, and now I'm tired so this is from last December.
Haircolor is pastel violet.

The ghost of Christmas Past

Yesterday I hang up the big star in the window, and slowly I will transform this flat to a winter wonderland.
This years theme is white and baby pink pastel Christmas (it's been decided since 2 years ago).

And for the first time ever I will not have a real Christmas tree *boohooo*

I will have a white fake pine tree instead. It will ruin the set a bit, but I'll have a real tree next year. Promise!

These cookies are just disgustingly pretty! I could never make anything this lovely!
