Promise there's another one!

Today, I discovered Michelle Phan's sister, Promise. PROMISE IS AMAZING! Seriously, I couldn't stop watching her videos. Most of them are extremely simple, using two or three eyeshadow colors, and don't involve any tricky make-up-artist-only techniques. They all come out absolutely stunning!!! A lot of them are costume-y, but the transformation between her without make-up, and then her with it, blew my mind away. So far, my favorite is her Fairy Barbie Princess make-up tutorial. Maybe I'm just partial to faeries (in case you hadn't noticed), but I found this tutorial incredible. She takes her Asian attributes and sculpts them into a thoroughly believable Barbie look. (For those of you who don't know, Barbie is a very Caucasian, blonde chick that most certainly has never been Asian.) I mean, seriously, the woman looks gorgeous with a blonde wig on. Since when can tan chicks pull off blonde hair?!
A few of the things I've noticed her (and her sister, make-up guru Michelle Phan) doing during their make-up looks are:
-creating a doe-eyed appearance by putting fake eyelashes on their bottom lashes as well as the top
-contouring their nose with bronzer/ brown eyeshadow to straighten it out
-using cosmetic lenses as a special effect to enhance the costume look
-using a foundation 2-3 shades too light for their skin for looks that require a paler appearance
-priming their eyes with Lancome: Ombre Perfecteur before using eyeshadow (I will be buying this asap, just so you know. Amazon has it for $20: Lancome Ombre Perfecteur Perfecting EyeShadow Base in Clair Full Size)
I can't wait to try out some of these little methods. I've decided to try a faery look for myself for my next video (seems only fitting, hahaha). This is the one I'm using as inspiration for the look I'm going to attempt to create for myself... Probably after I dress up like a fairy Barbie princess!! Hahaha.....
Let's see how I do, shall we? Self-challenge: accepted!
