IMATS 2010 Haul: Kryolan Meets Urban Decay Look I - Mermaid In A Fishnet

So what happens when Kryolan meets Urban Decay? OMG...the best stuff ever!! A marriage that was meant to be!! I will be doing a bit of a series of Kryolan meets Urban Decay looks...The Kryolan Interferenze palette has such an amazing quality and complex colors, and work fantastically with the quirky colors from Urban Decay...


Kryolan is a stage make up company that sells at Sillyfarm.com, Naimies.com, and Kryolan.com. I personally don't recommend taking a risk on Ebay, unless you choose to purchase from Shrinkle (Amy) but thats just me. Every year Kryolan is sold in person at IMATS...



Kryolan Aquacolor paints are a glycerin based compact make up, that is color intensive, with the ingredients of a superior quality skin cream. Aquacolor is universally applicable, but primarily used as a make up for face painters and clowns.



Aquacolor cakes are applied with a damp sponge or with a paint brush. Aquacolor paints need no setting powder or fixative spray. Aquacolor is also made for beauty application which makes for an excellent alternative to oil based foundations.

Aquacolor is available in a broad assortment of colors, including metallics, Black Light Activated, Primary and interferenze. Face and Body painting artists have been especially successful in working with KRYOLAN Aquacolor.



At IMATS I picked up the Kryolan 6-color interferenze palette. According to kryolan or sillyfarm.com the interferenze palette is used best as a base coat for designs.



Interferenze is a Pearlized and Duo-chrome (two tone) colours. These colours put fantasy face & body painting in a class of its own.--According to Kryolan.



So may only regret-not getting the Black Light Acvtivated colors....Not that I want to go to a rave or test Kryolans glow in the dark, but there is an amazing yellow (I want to put Rock It Yellow Pigment from MAC on top) and green (I want to put Urban Decay eyeshadow in Graffiti on top) in that palette that I want...and that violet is soooo coool as welll....it would look fantastic under Make Up Forever's # 92.



So....on with the look...



1. Prep and prime the face, apply lid and primer and lip conditioner.



2. Start off with spraying your flat shader brush with either a dab of water or MAC's Fix Plus...I would start off with a little, and go from there, add as needed, and mix on the lid or on a seperate tray away from the actual paint pot to avoid making a mess of the product. Just dry off the lid when done so it doesn't mix into the other colors....the Kryolan palettes are water activated, and work like professional water color...Note the word "professional" before the words water color....Professional water color doesn't act or have the same consistency as a childs Crayola or Rose Art watercolor or any other kiddie paints available at drug stores or Toys R Us. The reason an artist's water color paintings have no comparison to cheaper watercolors is that the Crayola sets are meant to be stain proof, sloppy, watery good fun for kids, and purposefully lack the pigmentation of a professional brand, and have no ability to create artwork that would look like something Georgia O'Keoffe created. No matter how talented your child may be.



3. So after spraying your brush dab your flat shader brush into the Strauss Wine color, which is the 3rd color into the set from the left.



4. Pat the color over the lid. Now with a clean dry brush and the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette (the purple one with silver sequins) pick up the Urban Decay Deluxe eyeshadow in Fishnet (duochrome-pink-violet) and pat over the top of the Strauss Wine Kryolan base...make sure the it is completely covering the Kryolan Base to avoid a crease mishap.



5. Take the MAC 217 brush or a crease brush and more of the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow in Fishnet, and starting from the outside and work your way inward through the entire crease, and pull into the crease...This shadow will adhere over any of the Kryolan that may have gone into the crease and could go into the crease of the lid...this will also make sure that there are no harsh lines where the Kryolan is as well...



6. Using Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Peace (bright blue with pearl finish) and take the MAC 217 brush and in the outer corner of the eye, pull it into the outer crease.



7. Take the Urban Decay Deluxe eyeshadow in Graffiti (bright green) and apply it into the outer corner with the MAC 217, and upp into the crease. Go back over the Graffiti in the outer crease only with Peace eyeshadow.



8. Using the MAC 219 brush and Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Honey (honey yellow) and apply into the tear duct, and pull the color inward, and blend it out softly. Not too far in just barely.



9. Using Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Zero (black) and in the outer corner with the MAC 224 (blender) pull the color in a little bit for depth, in the crease and outer corner as well.



10. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Flipside (turquoise liner) line the lower lashline.



11. Using Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Peace apply over it to set it.



12. Using MAC's Black Track Fluidline apply a thin line to the upper lashline and pull the gel liner out for a thin tail on the outer corner. Don't exceed past the eyeshadow.



13. Set MAC's Black Track Fluidline with Urban Decay in Zero.



14. Using Urban Decay's Matte eyeshadow in ABC Gum (peachy nude color) apply to the brow bone.



15. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Gesso (matte white) set over the outer corner of the brow bone.



16. Apply Mascara.



17. Apply Foundation and setting powder.



18. Contour the face with MAC's Blunt or any other contour color.



19. Using Lorac's Baked Satin Blush in Exposed (true peachy pink) apply to the cheekbones.



20. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 lip crayon in Wicked (bright pink) line and fill in lips.



21. Using MAC's Amplified Cream lipstick in Saint Germain (bright and light cool pink) and apply over the liner.



22. Using Lorac's Multiplex 3-D lipgloss in Cliche (bright duochrome pink violet) and apply in the center of upper and lower lips...This color reminds me of sequins with its cool hard to pass up Barbie pink color with violet iridescence.
