Rebel Scum

So today I'm going full on Star Wars fangirl! I wanted to do some nail art last night because I haven't done any for ages, and in all honesty I've been pretty neglectful of my nails! So I asked my boyfriend for some ideas and he said lightsaber nails, AND he also suggested I did orange and white make-up inspired by the Rebel Uniforms :D So this post is dedicated to Jon :)

First up, my nails. Sorry about the crappy pics!







Super easy, black nails with a white base for the lightsabers. Saying that its super easy, drawing straight lines across your nails can be a little tricky, but you can always clean up any mistakes afterwards with a black nail pen.

I am sorry for my horrifically filthy hand that I have just noticed! I was sharpening pencils and cleaning brushes, etc, this morning, which my excuse for vile filthy paws...

And now for my face:







Is this technically a cut crease? I don't know! Anyway, the Rebel uniforms are orange, hence the, er, orange. I used all 120 palette shadows apart from the white, which is MAC, over NYX Jumbo pencil in milk. The brown liner is Urban Decay Bourbon, which I can't get along with on my waterline but love otherwise. Face is the golden MEMEME highlighter and Lily Lolo Bronzer in South Beach, lips are 66 palette.

I do normally crop my pictures, but my other half is insisting I use Photoshop and not paint, and um, he isn't here and I can't work Photoshop :S

I have another crazier film post for you tomorrow :)

Love and kisses,

Robyn x

  4. Really love the eye makeup! It's pretty close to a cut crease. Maybe a soft cut crease? My first cut crease was a total accident and turned out looking like I did it on purpose.
    I haven't painted my nails in about 8 years...otherwise I might have to try this! Looks cool. :-D

  5. Yeah, I was thinking it was a bit too soft! I'll have to try some more contrasting colours, I think. Something else for me to practice!
