『Life』Maleficent Inspired Make-up, Singing, and Art!

It's almost summer! Most of you are probably already on break. LOL

Just a little life update since I've been quite busy and unable to take spare some time for blogging activities. For me, finals are coming up in a week! 

However, solid A's in all my classes, which I'm pretty proud of! (Whoot whoot!)

I went to go see Maleficent the other day. My mind was BLOWN. They incorporated the original Sleeping Beauty beautifully into Maleficent's history. It was definitely one of Disney's better originals. Angelina Jolie played Maleficent almost as if she was the villain herself. Those cheekbones were irresistible. <3

We found a movie poster for Maleficent hanging outside. However, it had part of Angelina's name covered up.

I did the only sensible thing. Duh, her cheekdones are basically the movie. HAHA (Kidding, the movie was actually great; go watch it!)

Holie (holy) cheekbones indeed.

I loved it so much that I even went to It's Sugar and bought the cup! It was super over priced, but I'm glad I got it! Literally, it sold out the next day.

After watching it, I decided I would try to be Maleficent myself! I grabbed all normal make up out, but I couldn't find my stage make up. :'< In the end, I resorted to eyeshadow. LOL

Maleficent ft. air humidifier. 8D

I do realized that I did the contouring completely wrong. HAHA I rounded out the cheekbones instead of caving them in. Next time I try to recreate her, I'll deff keep that in mind.

Would you guys be interested in a make up tutorial if I happened to do one? 8D

Possibly on video? ;D

On another note, I did upload a cover on my YouTube a while back. If any of my followers play League of Legends, you might enjoy this quite a bit. It's a parody of a Vocaloid song called Yume to Hazakura with lyrics based off the champion Sona from LoL! 

Take a listen if you have the time; I worked really hard on it. <3

I've also been getting back into drawing recently. I decided I would take on digital art again since I've been doing a lot of traditional art lately. So, saved up some of my money and bought myself a Wacom Intuos 5 Drawing Tablet! It should be arriving on Monday. <3 Can't wait to start transfering my paper art to the computer so I can do cool coloring effects. Not to mention, being able to easily draw straight lines!

Heres a little something I drew after playing the gave Transistor. I recommend it if you're a gamer who likes hit and slash games. *^* The story is also rather amazing. <3

Welp, that's I all I can really fit in today. Time to go wallow in work as I prepare for my finals. ;v;

cries

Have a nice day everyone! <3

Anyways! So, I went to Katuscon (two months ago) and boy, was it great! *A*

I got a lot of really nice photos from my photographers. <3 (They were all amazing! I only knew one of them personally because of a previous photoshoot with her, but the other two were super friendly and really made me feel at ease. It's always scary finding new photographers! ;;;;)

Here are some of my favorites!

『Tutorial』UrMadeUpFace: Gin - Get Ready With Me!

Hello hello! 

First off, let me apologize on my complete lack of posting. 

And continuous complete lack of posting. HAHA

YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE ME FOR A WHILE-
I'm also extremely sorry I haven't been leaving comments on any posts lately. Though I usually try to comment, I've only had the time to read them. I am keeping up with everyone though! ;v; I love you all. <3
I haven't been quite emotionally stable either. With tons of family problems and the whole ordeal with straight A's, I've been stressed. Not to mention heartache has been hitting me quite hard as well.
I really miss Carl.
A lot.
//sighs//

Around this time of the year is also when I start becoming super packed because of musicals. Sometimes it makes me think why I even audition for them because they're so stressful. :c

Like seriously. Rehearsal till 5:30 on a half day? That's like, 5 hours of rehearsal! ;A;

On another note, My birthday just passed! I turned 15 on the 6th of March, quite exciting! <3

Anyways, onto the entry I wrote for UrHappyBunny's blog feature! 8D It is on her blog, but I thought I'd post it as well just so I could have a place to announce a few things.

PS: Katsucon post will be coming as soon as I get all my photos back. I can't wait to share with you guys all the pretty pictures I got. //// 

Many of them are on my Facebook already! 8D

Hello there!
First off, before I introduce myself, let me thank Joanne graciously for allowing to do a blog feature. Her "UrMadeUpFace" is an ingenious idea, super happy I got the chance to do one!

So, my name is Gin.
Well, at least my online alias is.
My real name isn't too much of a mystery either, but I preferred to be called Gin on the internet. *^*

I'm 14 years old and currently in 9th grade. I actually started getting into make up around 7th grade, but now I've decided I want to pursue it. What better way than to start a beauty blog? Now, here I am, owner of gindoesbeauty.

In addition to make up, I also sing, draw, act, dance, and cosplay; you can read all about my cosplay adventures and youtube channel on my blog. ;>

Here's a small preview to a photoshoot post I'll be doing soon. B)

I usually listen to guitar or piano arrangements of songs when I do my make up.
AHHH SUNGHA JUNG. <3 His guitar playing is too amazing.
If I don't have music available, I hum~ The song I hum usually ends up deciding what colors and styles I use on my face, quite interesting!

Okiedoke. Let's get started! This is a quick and easy look I've been doing almost every morning!

"Quick, only 10 minutes left until departure!"

Fantanbulous, this shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

 ∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞•∞

Here we have the glorious bareface.

REAL TERROR.

Ok, actually though, start off with washing and moisturizing. No one wants all that dirt stuck in their pores for an entire day.

Apply your favorite foundation, bb cream, or cc cream. I'm using a sample of the Etude House CC Cream I got from a recent buy. I didn't even apply powder because this product was so light. Make sure to do so if you use heavier products!

Fill in your brows and stain your inner lip with a pretty red. 

Here, I used Tony Moly's Cat Chu Wink for my lips (Which I reviewed here.) and an eyebrow pencil I purchased from BornPretty.

Take a long lasting, brown eyeliner and line that eyelid with drama! I used Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner.

Connect an angled line to your waterline; this completes the thick line. It has to end somewhere.

When you use a brown eyeliner, it allows much more room for movement and mistake because of it's subtlety. This makes it a perfect color choice when you're rushing.

If you have time, highlight the inner corners of your eyes. You'll seems more awake; that's always a good thing! I applied an eyeshadow stick I got from, yet again, BornPretty.

And you're done!

This look is super simple and enhances your looks in a very natural way. I don't like to stand out in school if I don't have to, so this make up look is perfect for me. I'd rather get 20 more minutes of sleep than spend 20 minutes on make up. HAHA

And of course, before I walk out, I have to grab my handy dandy EOS lip moisturizer.

That little egg is magical, I swear. Seriously don't know how I would survive without it. *A* <3
