LadyDeathX0x: Hey Ghouls and Goblins! Welcome back to my channel. So in today’s video we’re going to do something a little different. A lot of you have been requesting that I do a tutorial for my Bedroom Tour video look. So I thought today it would be fun to show you a behind the scenes peek at my makeup routine. So let’s get started!
[01:16] So this is a really versatile look. It’s perfect for going out with friends, but you can tone it down for the office. I wear it a lot when I’m out collecting, and I get so many compliments on it. People, like, literally die the first time they see this look.
[02:14] You’ll want to start with a clean face. Go ahead and prime your skin. My skin is super dry, so I start with a thin application of tallow…rub that in. Then I move on to foundation. I like to use Spirits of Saturn, which is a ceruse based formula. It’s pretty easy to find online, but feel free to use what works best for you. Mercury treatments are really big right now, so that’s another option. But if your skin is really sensitive, just go with arsenic wafers.
[05:27] So next we’re going to move on to the eyes. Prime those lids. I am ob-sessed with the Soul Sucker pallet right now. I use it every day. As you can see, it has a ton of pretty shades…some greens…some grays…the first shade we’re going to dip into is “Bone-Flower.” I’m going to apply this all over my lid…and bring it up to the brow...this is going to be your base. Next I’m going to take a little bit of “Lethe”…I’ll put some on my hand so you can see it…it looks almost black at first, but when it picks up the light it has metallic flecks of blue and silver…I just love the shine on that. I’m going right into my crease with it. Don’t be afraid to bring that up towards the brow too for some added drama…you know me. I’m all about the drama. [Laughs]
[08:42 incoherent whimpering]
[08:54] Quick story time. I’m still sort of new to the makeup world. It’s something I’ve known about for, like, a thousand years, but I didn’t start incorporating it into my daily rituals until recently. I think of my vanity as my beauty alter, because it’s where I start my morning. It gives me an opportunity to center myself, and really cultivate the energy that I need for the day. Before getting into makeup I was in a really dark place. I think everyone goes through that time in their life where they look in the mirror and they don’t recognize themselves, and makeup is a way to express yourself, or even reinvent yourself. I like to think of it as finding your true face.
“I think of my vanity as my beauty alter, because it’s where I start my morning.”
[10:06 chair scuffing]
[10:08] Wet your brush. I’m using an N19 round brush. I’m just going to grab “Queen” and pack it into my inner corner…for a pop of gold…it adds this kind of sexy…grackle eye vibe. Now we’ll finish up with black liner.
[11:31] Speaking of grackles…It’s time for lashes! These are real grackle feathers. All of them came from birds who died of natural causes. Look at that gorgeous color…midnight blue…what I’ve done is cut a strip of vane away from the feather…you want sort of a crescent shape. And you’re going to take a needle—I’ve already run this one through a flame to sterilize it—and you’re going to thread the needle and just carefully…sew the feathers onto the edge of your eye lid…like this. It takes some practice to get it right. The first time I tried my hands were shaking like crazy.
[15:00 banging]
[16:06] Sometimes I get criticized. People make snarky comments like, “Oh, I guess beauty really is pain,” or “Are you really going to go out looking like that?” and I’m like. Girl. Watch me. [laughs] Sometimes you’ve gotta tear your old self down, you know?…beauty is power…Okay! One more eye to go...
[21:39] For the lips…this part is super easy. Take some pomegranate seeds and hit them with your mortar and pestle. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, just crush them up with your finger, back of a spoon…whatever. We don’t judge here. Dab the juice on your lips. Really saturate them…so cute.
The last thing I’m going to do is add my trademark.
[22:42 muffled screaming]
This little bottle is Belladonna. I like to do this last because it’s really strong and you want to see what you’re doing. So two drops in each eye…and you don’t want it to run, so tilt your head back and just, like, suck it back into your skull.
[23:01 scratching]
And…as you can see, it dilates your eyes and gives you that dewy, oblivion look. Done! There you have it. It takes some effort, but it’s definitely worth it. Now I want to show you guys what kinds of things you can do with this look. [steps off camera]
[24:08 Camera pans to the right. A girl appears on screen. She is sitting in a chair. Her wrists are bound. She is gagged. The camera zooms in. The girl is struggling. She rocks her body side to side. It appears she is trying to escape. Something off camera catches her eye. She continues to struggle, but appears to be transfixed by what she is looking at.]
[26:36 loud ripping noise]
Girl: [26:38 All noise stops. All struggling stops. Her pupils dilate. They overtake her irises. She smiles.]
