Inspired by Belle from Beauty and the Beast

When I asked for some suggestions of some ideas for looks, Miranda suggested that maybe I do a look inspired by Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  Trying to come up with new ideas for a look inspired by Belle is not the easiest thing to do.  When I think of Belle, I think yellow and brown.  How many ways are there to wear yellow and brown?  I've seen some looks inspired by her before, check out Kassie's look, and honestly,  if I were to do a look without having already seen hers, I think mine would look a lot like hers.  So I did my best to come up with something at least a little bit different!


And my inspiration


I wanted this look to be mainly gold, but a yellow gold so you could still tell who it was inspired by.  I also wanted to tie in the brown (from her hair) somewhere besides the crease so I put it under my eye.

What I used:

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Milk"
a layer of Sugarpill's "Buttercupcake" on lid to make the gold more yellow-y
L'oreal HIP Pigment "Visionary" over the yellow
MUG "Gold Digger" shadow
MUG "Bleached Blonde" shadow
MUG "Yellow Brick Road" shadow under highlight color
MUG "Ice Queen" shadow as a highlight
NYX glitter liner "Gold"
MUG "Brown Sugar" shadow (bronze color under my eye)
MUG "Corrupt" shadow applied wet as a liner

Cheeks:
ELF Blush/bronzer duo to contour
NYX "Angel" blush
Philosophy "The Color of Grace" shimmering face powder to highlight (this stuff is really really awesome when applied with a stippling brush, it just has an amazing glowy effect, thank you so much Heather Crazy Beautiful Makeup for sending this to me!!)

Lips:
Revlon Colorburst lipstick "Soft Nude"
ELF Liquid Lipstick "Perfect Pink" (thank you, Heather, for this too!)

And that's my look for today!  I hope you all are doing well (and staying healthy!) and I hope you have an amazing rest of your week!! Thank you all so much!!!

And a little song to finish up the post!
