Alice in Wonderland "Queen of Hearts" makeup how-to!

See which plumpers gave readers full, kissable lips (and which ones did absolutely nothing)
Lip Plumpers: The Good and The Bad
Jealous of Angelina Jolie's lips? Our loyal readers share the lip plumpers that gave them just the right amount of plumping, shine and color, as well as the ones that gave them red, swollen, bee-stung lips. Ouch.


She is beautiful! Unconventional? Sure, but that is what makes her so great! I am super excited about the movie! In my humble opinion there are going to be alot of costumes in the Fall that are Alice in Wonderland themed so start planning your makeup collection now.

You will need:
1. Deep red lipstick
2. Creme blue eyshadow in two tones
3. Black eye pencil
4. Mascara
5. White creme makeup and white setting powder
6. *Brow wax you get from costume shops/theatre shops  This item is not necessary though you can either shave off your eyebrows and then grow them back quickly with Revitabrow, or you can just color them blue or my favorite: seal them in brow wax.
7. **Set of false lashes for bottom eyelashes

Her makeup is easy!
1. Seal brows in wax, let set up and make sure there is a firm seal
2. Cover face in white creme makeup: use foundation brush, smooth with damp sponge, apply thin layers til you build up the coverage
3. Set aside two flat tipped synthetic brushes: use one to cover the light blue all over the eye in two large tapered squares. Make the vertical shadow line from inside corner of the eye, up about three inches, over, and then match the heighth from the outside corner of the eye to the top of the blue shadow box line.
Use the second brush and slightly darker blue to create a shadow line along the lashes and a blended line along the hollow of the eye. Very very subtle! Just enough to create depth to the eye.
4. Glue your bottom set of false lashes on and apply mascara to the top. No eyeliner
5. Use black pencil to draw thin arc of eyebrows on making the ends slightyl thicker and square in shape. Go over the pencil line with black shadow or liquid black liner to emphasize the darkness and make them wear longer.  Use the black pencil/liquid liner to fashion a small black beauty mark dot just below the left eye on the upper cheek bone
6. Using red lip liner, draw a heart shape in the center of the mouth, now using lip brush apply a great deep red lipstick.
7. Finish with white setting powder! Now shout "off with her head!".

See you at the movie gorgeous!
