Taurus the BULL!: Zodiac Collab with Snarky P!

Zombies!

Welcome back to another edition of the zodiac collab with the Snarky Princess. I've been slacking and getting these up a day or even a week late, but better late than never.

I think of Taurus as the strong headed bull. Sexy and hardcore, so that's what I went for.



The Bull

Modality: Fixed
Element: Earth
Ruler: Venus
Season: Spring
2nd Sign of Zodiac

Metal: Copper
Stone: Emerald
Color: Green
Anatomy: Neck, throat

Keywords: persevering, down-to-earth, stable, stubborn, possessive, prosperous, dependable, physical, sensual

Comparison with its symbol, the Bull:


For centuries, the bull has been a symbol of strength, tenacity, virility, and power. Left alone, a bull will happily graze; but if it is bothered, it will charge! Similarly, the Taurus personality is thought to be calm and peaceful, but when their anger is aroused, their temper can be wicked. Taureans are often quite disturbed by sudden changes--they prefer their lives stable and secure.

Taureans are thought to be persevering, strong individuals, who can also be quite "bull-headed". They can be dogged and determined when they have a goal in mind. Taureans are also quite sensual and, often, self-indulgent "beasts".

The glyph for Taurus, quite simply, represents the bull's head and horns.

The Goods:

TSFI all over lid
NYX jumbo pencil in "Milk" blended into lid
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "China Shop Taurus" main lid
Dark marron with sparkle color from the WnW "Lust" palette blended into crease
Light eggshell color from same palette to highlight
Evil Shades "Acolyte" lower lash line
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Dollymix"

Lips:
Revlon "Raspberry"

An added bonus picture. I inadvertently took a picture of myself looking like a blow up doll. FTW!

Zodiac Collab with Snarky P! Aries!

Hey Zombies!

This was LAST Thursday's Zodiac look. Better late than NEVER, right? This was a fun look. I  wanted to make my hair look like "horns" since Aries are The Ram. I think it came off looking more "cute" than "horn." lol

The Ram 

Modality: Cardinal
Element: Fire
Ruler: Mars
Season: Spring
1st Sign of Zodiac

Metal: Iron
Stone: Amethyst, Diamond
Color: Red
Anatomy: Head, face.

Keywords: active, initiating, leading, independent, aggressive, impatient, combative, energetic, pioneering, naive, assertive

Comparison with its symbol, the ram:

Aries is symbolized by the ram. The ram has come to represent male fertility, aggression, and courage. A ram's horn is part of a cornucopia, the "horn of plenty", symbolizing abundance. In history, rams were often symbols of leadership. Aries natives are said to be leaders and pioneers.

Rams butt their heads into their enemies; and Aries natives are thought to approach life "head-on". 

The glyph for Aries is a straightforward one -- it depicts the ram's horns. 

Because "Sunrise in Aries" from Hi-Fi Cosmetics is a burnt orange color and the color of Metal is Aries is Iron, I thought I'd incorporate the two.

See my "horns"?

The Goods:

UDPP in "Sin" all over lid

NYX jumbo pencil in "Slate" blended into crease

Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Sunrise in Aries" main lid and lower lash line

Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Reaper" above crease and into crease

MAC "Shroom" as highlight

Cheeks:

Evil Shades "Atomic"

Lips:

Beautique lip crayon in "Shimmering Raisin"

Silk Naturals Kisser Slicker in "Swank"

Hope you are all having a great Monday!

Pisces! Zodiac Collab with Snarky P!

Hey Zombies!

I want to get this look up quickly, because I'm off for the day. I couldn't get good 'just eye' pictures, but I think the pictures I took work well. Toady's look is based on "Pisces." Pisces is a dreamer...water sign. Sea Green is the color of Pisces.  I decided to do a green and blue "sea" inspired look. It's so much more complex in real life.


Modality: Mutable
Element: Water
Ruler: Neptune
Season: Winter
12th Sign of Zodiac

Metal: Tin
Stone: Jade. Coral
Color: Sea Green
Anatomy: Feet, Veins

Keywords: intuitive, dreamy, artistic, humane, sympathetic, sensitive, compassionate, perceptive, tender, impressionable

The Goods:

TFSI
Evil Shades "Gamut Blue" spectrum pot blended into lid
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Goodbye Pisces" main lid
MAC "Steamy" above crease
Brown color with blue shift from WnW "Night Elf" pallete blended into crease and lower lash line
Cream color from same palette to highlight
random liners and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Gentle"

Lips:
MAC "Sweetie"

Hope you enjoyed! Check out The Snarky Princess later today for her take on Pisces!!

Age of Aquarius: Zodiac Collab with Snarky P!

Zombies,

I want this first say that I am sorry that this post is late. Yesterday all day I thought it was Friday..and then when I realized it wasn't, the whole Vera thing happened, and it just sucked my soul out of my face. So, I decided (late) tonight to throw together my Age of Aquarius look, just to get it up here.

It's not that great, and I changed my hair. Not happy with it either. *sigh* It's just one of those days.

Sparkles!





Traditional Aquarian Traits

Friendly and humanitarian

Honest and loyal

Original and inventive

Independent and intellectual

On the dark side....

Intractable and contrary

Perverse and unpredictable

Unemotional and detached

No, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Aquarius sign of the Water Bearer, but the color associated with Aquarius is Turquoise. Age of Aquarius from Hi-Fi is a blue based shadow with TONS of turquoise sparkle. Very fitting.

The Goods:

TFSI
Evil Shades Spectrum pot in "Gamut Blue" as base
MAC "Blue Flame" from Style Black, blended into lid
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Age of Aquarius" patted on top of Blue Flame and into lower lash line
MAC "Shroom" as highlight
Random liners and mascara
MuFe aqua liner in "Turquoise Blue" for the dots

Cheeks:
MAC "Well Dressed"

Lips:
Morgana Cryptoria "Plumeria"

I hope you're all having a nice Friday. More tomorrow.
