Gothic Vamp Makeup & Indy Brands

 

I love ‘indy’ makeup.  Its unique and creative and offers us something some of the major brands don’t..something different.  Major brands really are very much the same and when I shop the ‘indy’ brands I know I will find something exciting to bring to our customers. 

Read about Morgana and how she got started in her business making some very good quality lipsticks.

Beautiful Bold Lipsticks are a must and this one from Morgana is stunning

This is called 'Bees Knees" and is my favorite colour from the 1920's collection

Morgana Cryptoria is a woman owned small business located in Arizona.  Cryptoria is an expansion of Morgana Minerals, a company created in November 2006. 

From 2006-2008 Morgana spent time learning about ingredients, experimenting with formulas, & web design. In 2008, orders would trickle in once in awhile. By 2009, orders began to increase due to word of mouth. Mid 2009 Morgana Minerals began to get recognized by beauty blogs and started to get the exposure it really needed. 

In late 2010 Morgana opened Morgana Cryptoria & closed Morgana Minerals.

Morgana’s plan is to become less of a mineral makeup company and focus on traditional cosmetics while working on plans to expand into gothic clothing, decor, and jewellery in the future.

Morgana is mostly known for her famous handcrafted vegan lipsticks.

Do you aspire to start your own makeup range..if so we would love to hear from you and help promote your brand.

 
This brand is now avaiable in Australia from www.makeupnet.com.au Lipsticks are $13.99

Doe Deere from Limecrime Makeup dyes her hair

Doe Deere has gone from a redhead to a blonde and now to this brilliant blue.

What do you think of the colour, I actually loved her as a redhead and she also looked good as a blonde..but I have to say the blue is cute.  I once went purple but that was as a 14 year old that played with mothers Magic Silver White and got carried away...that ended up with me being grounded for a few weeks.....oh well..growing up can be fun.

Have you ever dyed your hair any strange colours?  What was the reaction of others when they noticed?  Good or not so good?

 

Here she is a redhead

 And here a blonde..I think she looks amazing with any colour hair!

Gothic Look for Halloween

Here is the latest from Doe Deere from Limecrime Makeup to help with your Halloween preparations.

 Deerlings: Are you fans of the gothic culture? I adore it actually, I don’t consider myself a straight-up goth, but gothic elements in art are hugely inspirational to me. Movies like Beetle Juice and Addams Family Values are pure eye-candy as far as I’m concerned, and one of my favorite bands is Type O Negative, the masters of capturing the dark side of things in a humorous way.

EYES: Since you're working with dark eyeshadow, leave face makeup for later. Start with the brows as they will define the way your eyeshadow will go on. Using black gel liner (our favorite is by Clinique) on a thin brush, outline the shape of your brow and fill in. Set with matte black eyeshadow for extra-darkness!

Prep the lids with an eyeshadow primer (stay tuned for Lime Crime's revolutionary Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Helper coming this November!). Pat Medusa onto the lids closer to the lashes. Work the color around the eyes with a larger brush, creating a softer, 'smoky eye' effect. Apply a thick coat of mascara to top/bottom lashes and some black kohl to the waterline. With a gel liner, pull inner corners of the eye down - this will give you that definitive 'gothic' look. Draw a thin white line right under the black with Top Hattie eyeshadow (you may also use a white pencil for this).

Glue false lashes to top lids. You will need 2 long individual lashes for the bottom - you can make these by cutting off a piece of an eyelash and styling it thin & pointy with hair putty. Be sure to do this a few hours in advance so it's dry. Apply individual lashes to the outer corners, as if they are a part of your natural lash line.

FACE: Black looks most striking against fair skin - that's why all goths aim to keep their skin as pale as
possible. But fear not, if you don't resemble a vampire naturally, you can always use foundation a few shades shade lighter or even mix it with some white with your every-day foundation. Avoid blush and use contouring powder instead on the cheekbones and sides of the forehead.

LIPS: This sinister-looking two-tone lip is easier to achieve than you think. Outline your mouth with red pencil. Fill in with bright red lipstick such as Retrofuturist, then dab some Styletto onto the center of the mouth. Press your lips together. Voila!

To achieve the look you need, Siren, Top Hattie &  Medusa for the eyes and for the Lips - Retrofuturist & Styletto.  Great Gothic look and great for Halloween.
