Recently I have been progressing in Monster Hunter World Iceborne expansion (yes, I'm probably 2 years late) and have been doing makeup to match the last couple of story quests.
Because it gives me power over the monster.
So far, it is working ^u^
The first one I did was Ebony Odogaron, or as I like to call it, burnt hamburger:
The "lightning" parts for the dragon element were a bit difficult for me to draw. I referred to a lot of Ebony Odogaron screenshots for the lightning pattern.
The above picture shows Ebony Odogaron, the subspecies, with Odogaron, the base species. The texture of Odogaron looks like raw hamburger according to DreamBoss__ (friend on Twitch) so I just called it Hamburger since then. Of course, the Ebony version just looks burnt!
The idea for this one was easy. I wanted a black and red smoky eye with the lightning/dragon element bits coming out the side. I wasn't able to incorporate the purple shades of the tail into the look this time, but I think it could have been neat either as the eyeliner or as contour!
However, I normally do not wear smoky eye makeup, and oh boy did I learn just how long it takes to blend out all the colors!!!!!!
Milani -eyeshadow base
bh cosmetics -Trendy in Tokyo palette (the website has new packaging, but I like the original one I have better!) for the red shade
-Glam Reflections Smoke for the dark red and black shades and red shimmer
Kate Tokyo -gel liner as a base for the black
NYX cosmetics -epic ink liner in black
essence cosmetics -mascara that I don't really like too much so no link
e.l.f. cosmetics -instant lift brow pencil
DUO -lash glue as brow gel
I digitally erased some acne spots so I won't list any base products.
Overall it was really fun! Makeup is a really fun creative outlet for me! Sometimes it turns out well, like this time, and sometimes... less so, but still enjoy the process!!
Do you ever try experimental looks? Whether it's makeup, fashion, hair (I'm SO boring with my hair!!), etc. I like to see how others experience "wearable art"!
