Ellie Goulding Inspired LOTD

Wendy asked me have a crack at a gorgeous cut-crease, no-brow look that Ellie Goulding wore in Paper Magazine recently.  Despite looking nothing like Ellie and being nowhere near as cool, I thought I’d have a play with that style.

Eyes: Kiko Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick in shade 10, Inglot AMC 58, Glamour Doll Eyes Glitter in Techno, Collection2000 24/7 Extreme pen liner in Black, Active Lashes Cosmetics.
Cheeks: MAC Harmony, a random MAC pink which I don’t have the name on anymore.
Lips: Collection 2000 Bubblegum.
This was really interesting to do! I have such wonky creases on eyes that I don’t like to do cut-crease or really graphic liner looks as it’s too much of a paint to get it to look even and nice, but I have to try these things once in a while even if it’s just to remind myself that that shit just looks jacked up on my face.  Looking at this, I think I should have brought the wing part under my eye a little so the whole shape is lower and so the undereye area doesn’t look so… empty, but hey.

Well, I don’t think I’d did too badly, but it certainly suits someone more edgy like Ellie! I’m struggling with working out how to create the bleached brow look without using bleach… this time I used greasepaint instead of concealer. I think one weeeknd I might bleach them just for a laugh and do tons of no-brow looks. I know a lot of people hate the trend, but I think it’s beautiful. I love how it changes the face and how it really leaves the focus on the eyes for makeup.
And here’s the original look:



And here's another less scary way of wearing the eye look:

  2. That green is gorgeous. It is really striking - I'm not keen on that no-brow thing, but it definitely looks really striking. You are awesome Robyn. You make pretty faces.

  4. By nowhere near as cool do you mean WAY cooler. Of course you do. I actually like your version better. Mostly because it's on your face, but it looks pretty spot on to me!

    1. I have that with some looks roo. I think using something really sparkly and reflecting light makes my wonky creases much less obvious, but I also think we stress about tiny things that other people won't notice.

  9. I love the graphic wing! It really DOES make a person look at your eyes a lot more when one's brows have been bleached/lightened. Neat!
