Nightwish Concert Practice Makeup

So tonight I will be going to see Nightwish, Delain, and Sabaton and I am sooo excited! Nightwish has been my favorite band since I was in middle school.  Once Tarja left I couldn't stand Annette's voice and got out of symphonic metal until just last year when my boyfriend brought me back.  I am so overjoyed that Floor Jansen is the new singer.  I loved her in After Forever and Revamp and she works with Nightwish perfectly.  I do miss Tarja's operatics but I love Floor just as much.   And then there's Marco who I've always loved.

Anyway I did a concert makeup trial run and decided to wait to post it today since there's no way I'm updating on the day of the concert.


This is my custom Nightwish shirt that I ordered from Artscow.com.  I want to do my makeup to match this as it is what I'm wearing to the show. Century Child will always be my favorite Nightwish Album. 


I don't really feel like going super dark for this show so I decided to do something a lot more colorful! I started by tracing a wing with Jesse's Girl liquid liner.  then I dabbed Fringe from the Electric Palette towards the outer half of my lid.  Then I took Cosmic from BH Cosmetic's Galaxy palette and blended that from the corner of my eye and into Fringe.  I then took Urban Decay's Blackout and filled my wing in while also blending into Fringe.  I then blended the three  colors again under my eye.  I lined my lid lightly with my liquid liner and finished with mascara! For the concert I may decide to go a bit darker with the black and line my eyes a bit thicker with the liquid liner.

I'm still not 100% sure of what lipstick to wear.  I may go pretty dark since my eyes aren't too powerful. Regardless I have to make sure to pick something that will stay all night.

I'll be sure to make a concert post again like I did after Sonata Arctica!

Simone Simons Inspired Blue Winged Eye Using Chaos from the Electric Palette

Not having my good camera is seriously annoying...I really dislike using my phone but unfortunately I have no choice.  Here is a look I did using Chaos from Urban Decay's Electric Palette.  It is based off of Simone Simone's makeup from Kamelot's The Haunting music video. Because Youtube is blocked in Turkey linking it is difficult but I would definitely recommend checking it out.  Great song :)


I was a bit sad that it was so freaking hard to get the color even.  I used Lorac's primer, then NYX Milk, then took an insanely long amount of time trying to get Chaos to go on well.  From a normal viewing distance it looks perfectly fine but up close you can definitely see it isn't even. 


Here are some other angles.  you bet I went out in public like this hahahaa.  On my lips is Revlon Balm Stain in Honey.


And because I did it with the my Kamelot look here I am badly mimicking my reference pictures. Sorry one got blurry, I didn't notice until I had already taken my makeup off :(
