Lady Gaga "Telephone" makeup

Recently Siobhan commented on my blog and said that she'd like to see me do the look that Lady Gaga is wearing in the kitchen scene in the video for her song "Telephone."  I'm going to be honest here, I'm not a die hard Lady Gaga fan.  She's cool but she's not my favorite.  So I had to google what the look was and here's what it looks like:

It's a crazy dark brow with a purpley-blue lid and magenta lips.  This is how my look turned out

Umm... yeah I look like a crazy clown haha.  I could dig this if the brows weren't ridiculously dark (or high) and the lips weren't quite as bright. 

Gaga and I have completely different eye shapes which made this interesting to do.  She has great lid space and not so much space above her crease.  Me, my eyes are hooded but I have much more room above my crease than Gaga does.  The heavy black shadow that they used on Gaga next to the white is in her eye socket, I had to use it was above mine or this wouldn't have looked similar at all.  

Haha and not to mention the brows.  To do them, I used a black eyeliner pencil that I've had for like a hundred years and drew a basic outline of where I wanted them, then I drew in little slashes to resemble hairs where I didn't have any.  I went back with a matte grey shadow (376 M by Inglot) and filled that in.  Then I put some eye makeup remover on a stiff brush and cleaned up the edges and blurred them a little.  I kept going back until they looked decent.  

For the colors on my lid, I primarily used Inglot 388 M which is the perfect mix of purple and blue for this look.  Then I used NYX's "Black" and "White" shadow and also NYX's "white" ultra pearl mania.  In some parts I had let the purple/blue color get too dark so I went on top of it with Inglot 351 M to lighten it back up a little.

I used like 500 things on my lips.  I don't have any purpley lip colors like this so I did what I could.  I used a purple eyeliner, MAC "Pink Friday" lipstick, NYX's soft matte lip cream "Addis Ababa", some eyeshadows, and I'm sure there are some more things I cannot remember haha.  And the color still isn't purpley enough.

My look is far from perfect but I definitely think you can see what I was going for.  I made the brows too high and the purple/blue color is too light in some spots and it definitely would have been better with a set of false lashes but it's all good.  This makeup didn't last very long on my face though haha.  My daughter saw me and said, "Whoa.  Crazy."  And every time I got a glance of myself, it startled me. 

I hope you like this, Siobhan (and everyone else!!)!  Thanks for challenging me to do something outside of my normal box!  P.S. Do you happen to have a picture or a clip of the look on Sarah Jessica Parker that you were thinking of?

Have a great day everyone!!!
