Ladies of Disney: Their Make Up: Alice In Wonderland

This is the picture I referenced when I decided to do an Alice in Wonderland look for the Ladies Of Disney Their Actual Face and Make Up series.




This is a very sweet very simple look using daytime make up techniques, soft blending and soft neutral colors. No contouring because Alice is so young, but a lot of sweet pink blush, and a daytime girly red lip stain thats not too grown up at all. Once again Alice is not a Disney Princess, but she is a fabulous Disney female character.



So on with the tutorial.



1. Moisturize the skin first with your fave moisturizer. Its good to keep a skin care face routine to prevent and avoid break outs. Let it sit for ten minutes. Work on the rest of the face.



2. Next apply Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Primer Potion, or any other neutral eyeshadow base like MAC's Prep & Prime Eye or Coastal Scents Poxy Primer. It's personal preference. Smooth it on with your fingertips on the eyelid and up to brow bone avoiding tear ducts and lash lines. Let it sit for a minute.



3. Apply lip balm or chapstick or lip conditioner to soften and moisten lips. Let it sit till your done with the rest of your face.



4. Using MAC's Paint Pot in Rubenesque (gold with shimmer-my fave paint pot) apply to the lid and into the crease, blending with your fingertips not your nails.



5. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Shroom (soft beige with shimmer) and the MAC 227 (fat blender brush) brush this highlight or base color onto the brow bone. I like to do the brow bone first. It helps my over all application, and in the very end I don't find myself trying to shade color down, or soften it or overlap it.



6. Using the MAC 239 shader brush and MAC's eyeshadow in Shroom yet again, pat this soft shimmery beige color over the Rubenesque Paint Pot. Using the MAC 227 again connect the lid and the brow highlight color for a good all over base/highlight color.



7. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Amber Lights (peachy brown with shimmer-frost) and the MAC 217 blending brush blend this color into the inner crease up until the pupil ends. Also blend up a little ways, and into the inner tear duct just a touch. You can use the MAC 224 with no product to diffuse the color and make it seem seamless. Just get a nice circular shape in the inner eye for some depth and peachy shimmer. None in the outer corner.



8. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 eye crayon in Baked (signature gold color) line the waterline. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Amber Lights and the MAC 219 brush smudge out a line for an eyeliner look directly underneath the lash line.



9. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 eye crayon in Zero (black) line the upper lash line, really smudge the pencil into the lashline, so there isn't a harsh 1950's line on the upper lash line. That way her eye has the black cartoony drawn look. Plus it makes the eye look very finished and polished for a daytime look. No tails on the end. You can even line the upper waterline in Zero. Don't draw the line toward the tear duct. Stop the pencil where the upper eyelashes stop.



10. Apply MAC's Studio Fix mascara in Black Fix starting at the roots and working your way upward. Ive been pretty happy with the mascara. The wand gets right in the roots and all the corners well, and it doesn't flake and it works well with contacts. I have found its not always the mascara formula, but the wand that can make or break the mascara for me.



11. If you can't resist going that Disney mile and you really want lashes, or if you have sparse lashes, I would suggest cluster lashes which are a version of individual lashes or Ardell's lashes in Babies (I always keep a pair on hand-they are more natural looking than most demi's, demi lashes are smaller versions of their mommies, and work well if you have shorter or blonder lashes) I really wouldn't go any more wild with the lashes than that. You can take Andrea's Modlashes in #301, but I wouldn't apply them on the ends, I would apply them more towards the center, because thats where her lashes are the longest. She is a child so I wouldn't go for an unnatural lash look. Ardell's Demi Wispies are even too strong for the look. I would also use clear lash adhesive.



12. Next I would apply my liquid or gel or mousse or cream based foundation. The following steps won't work with powder or mineral foundation. It will be cakey and clumpy.



13. Let it set for a second. Using MAC's Cremeblend blush in So Sweet So Easy (MAC In Lillyland Collection-Soft yellow pink) apply with the MAC 168, and stipple it onto the apples of cheeks. Smile and go along the cheekbone.



14. Using MAC's blush in Well Dressed (immaculate pink-satin) and the MAC 116 tapered blush brush) blend this color into the apples and follow up in the hairline. The cheeks should be youthful, dewey and bubblegum pink. Theres so much pink bubblegum blush just the way a little girl would like to wear her blush. Keep it on a professional level however. You don't wanna look like your niece came by and smeared make up all over your cheeks with her Cinderella make up compact from Wal Greens.



15. Using MAC's Cream Base in Shell (soft pink biege with shimmer) apply to the cheekbones (under eyes) for a highlight and down the nose bridge. You can also highlight the cupids bow.



16. Using MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish Natural apply over foundation to set it. Don't overlap cheek color.



17. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 lip crayon in Naked outline lips and fill in all the way. This helps lip color stay.



18. Using MAC's lipstick in Lady Bug (yellow tomato red-lustre) over the lip crayon. This will create only a red stain and keep it sweet and simple. This is a great red for day red lips or for simple red lips because its a lustre, and goes on as a sheer glossy stain rather than a harsher deeper matte like MAC's Viva Glam I.



19. Use MAC's Dazzleglass in Sugarrimmed (biege with pink pearl-as a bartender I am partial to this one, hhehheeee) and add some nude sugar shimmer.



*Note-I would've done this look using the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows but I didn't have it when I wore the look. I think it still came out great, and less cliche than if I had used the palette.
