I was asked on Facebook to try this look out and I was pretty hesitant because I thought it would be really difficult... It was haha!
Liquid eyeliner was not my friend tonight, but I think I pulled it off enough for it to look like the aliens in the movie.
I used a few products, such as:
Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Eyeliner - Flipside
Urban Decay Book Of Shadows - Alice
Fraulein 3'8 Palette - Jelly Matte
Soap and Glory - Liquid Eyeliner
Overall the look turned out how I wanted it, like I said it is only inspired so it's not supposed to look entirely like the really thing.

The Seven Deadly Sins & Virtues: Greed & Charity
This is my final Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues Make-Up Look: Greed & Charity! Thank gooooodness it is finally done haha!
Greed - Greed is the need for material possessions or material wealth.
I loved this look and tried to incorporate man's worst form of greed in my opinion - Gambling. Drawing the playing cards and poker chips was sooo difficult put hopefully I pulled it off for you guys!
I used the traditional green and gold so that the look revolves around money
This is the second half of my look: Charity!
Charity - Generosity. Willingness to give.
I was stumped on this look for a long time but I figured that I would try to imitate the British Heart Foundation logo :)
This is a charity that is close to my heart and one that I often visit therefore it seemed appropriate!

The Seven Deadly Sins & Virtues: Sloth & Diligence
Diligence - Alertness, To be Exact, Motivated.
I chose a very citrus look for my make-up because I wanted it to look as fresh as possible!
The mixture of bright yellow and lime green brings a pop to the eyes, making it the complete opposite of Sloth.
I used my new Fraulein 3'8 Palette - Jelly Matte
Sloth - Sadness, Laziness, Depression, Unmotivated.
I tried to create a decaying look, or a look that says " I've been asleep with my make-up on for a thousand years" .. haha!
All in all I love the purple, blue and black eye shadows that highlights sadness and depression which really goes with this look.

The Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues: Gluttony & Temperance
This is my new make-up look Gluttony and Temperance! I was pretty excited for this one.
Gluttony - Over indulgences of anything to the extreme.
I wanted this look to mainly focus on food, especially sweet things as people tend to avoid them because of watching their weight. I chose a chocolate ice cream sundae as many people find it difficult to resist ice cream.
Temperance - means restraint and moderation.
I found this one difficult to create because what exactly is the colour of temperance?... After searching for a while I found that self-restraint and balance come under the colour orange! Therefore this is a mainly bright orange look with silver bars coming from the lower eye, this signifies prison cell bars, which highlight restraint of yourself.

The Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues: Wrath & Forgiveness

Forgiveness - The act of pardoning someone for their sins against you.
According to some websites the colour of Forgiveness is a mixture of golds, whites and creams, so I tried to incorporate this into the look but I still wanted to keep it blended out.

Oh my god, Wrath was soooo much fun to play around with as you can tell I literally went all out for this look.
I tried to create a distressed look, with smudges and a lot of black and reds. I pulled on my make up to create the 'mascara' streaks which makes it look like i've either been crying or fighting haha!
Overall this was hilarious to play with, I absolutely loved it!

The Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues: Envy & Kindness

This is my second Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues make-up look Envy and Kindness
Envy - The need to have better or be better than others.
As green is the colour of envy and jealousy it was necessary to use this as the base of my look. I used yellow, gold, black and white eye shadows to highlight the bright green.
Rhinestones were applied to give a little glitter and sparkle to a very dark look. I also created two tear drop like shapes to show perhaps a cry of jealousy? .. i guess haha.

I couldn't find any colours that specifically relate to the virtue 'kindness'. After some thinking I chose a rainbow of eye shadows as happiness and fun and being nice to someone can be perceived as multi-coloured.
I really enjoyed making this look, especially Envy as I prefer all the sins to the virtues because they can be so vivid.

The Seven Deadly Sins & Heavenly Virtues: Lust & Chastity Inspired
This is the beginning of my second series and it will kick off with Lust and Chastity as they are opposites.
Lust - an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body or for fame and money.
I chose a very dark red/black look for this as red is usually the colour of lust and love. I coupled this with black to highlight the fact that this is one of the deadly sins.
Chastity: Courage and boldness. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment.
I chose a wing to highlight chastity as the idea of purity can be seen as angelic so I thought I would capture the look this way. Using a baby blue eye shadow, I gave colour to a very plain look and I also wanted to achieve dimension.
This look was so much fun! It felt like I was doing a look for heaven and hell which is also a very interesting concept.
