My submission for the NYX Glamorous Vamps Contest!


Hey everyone! I'm just doing a quick post featuring my submission for NYX's Glamorous Vamps Contest! This is my absolute first online contest I've ever participated in and I am so so sooo excited to have joined. The concept is really simple, VAMP. Not necessarily a 'Vampire', fangs, Dracula..TWILIGHT..but just a sultry, glam, yet dark look. "Dress your lips up in your most fierce and desirable red lips mimicking the overall look of a stunning vampire" it says. Immediately the idea of a gradient look popped into my mind..yes, ANOTHER gradient lip. What can I say, I'm a fan of them. And anyone can do a red lip. It's a classic look that anyone can pull off. Creating a gradient however, adds that extra VAVOOMM. Besides, it gives a gorgeous three-dimensional effect to the lips.
I paired that with a taupe eyeshadow over the lid and used a dark brown shadow to make an exaggerated crease. I also used two pairs of Daiso eyelashes layered on my upper lash line and bottom lashes by Red Cherry with individual lashes I cut up myself using dull lashes that have lost it's shape. Soooo hope you all enjoy my own interpretation of the VAMP concept! Wish me luck!

Btw, if any of you are 'a fan' of NYX Cosmetics on Facebook, check out all the submissions! There already TONS of beautiful, beautiful talent! Contest ends Wednesday next week! So check us out!
