Weekly Makeup Tag: Disney

So this week I joined a makeup tag run by the lovely Aqeela. Each week she gives a theme, and the bloggers who wish to join create a makeup look based on that theme. I had been watching the weekly makeups for a while now, but never had the guts to join and let my makeup be on show.
This week the theme was Disney, and I have to say it sounded just to fun to pass.

I was thinking what I wanted to do. At first I thought "THE AVENGERS"!!! (because I'm so obsessed with Loki at the moment, even drawing a chibi fanpic of him and Thor). But then I thought that it's been overdone lately and even though officially the films are Disney, the actual credit of the characters goes to Marvel. So bye-bye that idea.
Then I turned my mind to more...Disney-y Disney films. My two faves: Aladdin and Hercules (possibly because of the rocking feisty heroins. Awesome!) And then I decided to go with a bad guy makeup, because those two films have the best (Jafar and Hades!!).

And then I picked Jafar. To be frank, I love him. Best villain ever.

I'll be honest; I'm not amazingly happy with this makeup. The yellow tinges to lips and eyes do not suit my pallor. And the hair....don't even get me started on the hair. I was rocking the grunge look it would appear.
But for anyone (dunno who) would like to see a tutorial, here it is:

 Apply yellow (from Sleek's "Glory" i Divine pallette) to the whole lid, and a little bit further if you want.

 Apply red eyeshadow (Sugarpill Love +) in the inner and outer corners of the eye and connect them on the top and bottom.

 Blend the red both inwards and outwards. Add some more red if needbe to make the colour stronger.

(If you want) Apply yellow from the lid to the eyebrow and blendoutwards into the skin. Add a line of liquid eyeliner (Sleek Dip It). At the end, squiggle it a little and finish with a curl (to represent Jafar's curly beard).

Add black eyeliner to the bottom eyeline and flick it out at the corners. I didn't join it to the upper line, but you can if you want. Then darken the eyebrow (Bourjois Intense Black Eyeshadow).

 Put on a flick of mascara and, if you have them, a set of false lashes. I didn't have any lashes that were cheap enough for me to justify putting them on for only a few minutes (yes, they may be reusable, but they do wear).

Finally the lips. For them I used gold (MaxFactor Flipstick - Gipsy Red) with a thin layer of black (Manic Panic - Lethal. Given to me by my good friend Elle)

And voila! It's an incredibly easy look to achieve. The hardest part is probably getting the lines straight. But that comes with time and practise.

So there you have it. My Jafar look. To see all the other girls' looks, head over to Aqeela's blog. There are some amazingly talented girls on there, so I would seriously suggest that you go check it out.

What do you think of my Jafar inspired look? Have you done any "Disney" makeups at all? If so, lemme see!
