Makeup Tips from Vampires?
Ghosthunter has an interesting idea of how makeup should look.
You know cateye makeup? Like the 50's style with the little Cleopatra-looking upturned corners? Yeah... apparently she thinks that she's doing this with her makeup. She even tries to give advice on exactly HOW to do cateyes.
I refer to them instead as "Batwings", which hell, if you saw them, you'd say the same.
In order to keep her identity (as well as my own) fairly hidden, I've transformed a few images to show you the difference between traditional cateye makeup and her batwings.
LEFT: This is what a traditional cateye looks like (with today's makeup, that is). A slight upsweep at the corner of the eyelid from the edge of the eye to (at most) halfway to the browline.
Not so bad, right? Especially with the soft edges of the makeup that we have nowadays, right?
RIGHT: Then comes Ghosthunter's version of the cateye. Super dark, opaque shadows, usually dark grey or an offshoot of black starting beneath the eye, rimming the lid, all the way up to a sweeping peak at the edge of the browline. AKA: The batwing. It reminds me of bad witches in horror movies, or terrible makeup for Halloween .
Truthfully, it actually looks worse than the images above show... this is probably the closest that I can come to the look of her makeup without showing you a photo though.
I KNOW that it's just two days to Halloween and everyone's been dressing up for the past week, but this is a year 'round thing... she even got made up like this for her WEDDING. The only time I've seen her without the batwing makeup was once when she was ill and had JUST rolled out of bed.
How on Earth do you politely tell the fashion-unconscious that they look beastly? I just don't know how without completely crushing her or being fired. After all, being the boss's wife has it's perks in that respect.
I suppose it's too bad that it can't be Halloween year 'round for everyone else. That might be fun.
