Vampire makeup: Making up Hannee for upcoming Miss Vamp Hawaii 2013

Vampires are technically dead, but a sexy vampire doesn't need to look dead. I think the quite the opposite. Vampires should look sexy, especially when it is for a vampire beauty pageant.

Ms. Hannee Chong contacted me to do her hair and makeup for a Miss Vamp Hawaii 2013 photoshoot. I gladly accepted and after deciding on the look this was the final result:


Hannee is Chinese and she wanted BIG eyes! To accomplish that I did a really heavy smokey eye to add depth to her eyes and make them appear bigger. I went light on the bottom eyeliner so that you could really see her eyes without having too much going on the bottom since the top was so heavy. Her look was made using the Urban Decay Smoked palette. It is mainly black eyeshadow with a hint of silver and a hint of metallic blue since her dress was blue. Her eyes were completed with long, thick lashes, and for her cheeks I decided not to use too much color since she already has very prominent cheeks, and really didn't want to put anything else on her face that would steer the attention away from her eyes. For her hair I used Revlon's Curl Magic Ceramic Styling Wand and Ion Smooth Solutions Hairspray. What I like about Ion Smooth Solutions is that is paraben-free, doesn't leave residue, and it works great in humidity, which is perfect for outside photoshoots. That day was raining like a son-of-a-gun, and Hannee's hair looked gorgeous. She has very very straight Chinese hair, and to get her hair to curl the Revlon Wand really did its job. She had beautiful curls in no time! I love the beaded style of the wand, where you could get waves or tight curls depending which part of the wand you use. Finally her lips were penciled in and filled in with a classic red, MUD's Lady Bug lipstick. She then was on her way to her shoot with Joe Marquez and her other vampire sisters. Her final shot looked like this:


Stunning vampire! She got her dress off of Ebay, although no idea which vendor. You can pretty much find anything on ebay!

I would love to know what you think. If you need to get glamed up like Hannee for your special event feel free to contact me at dehandmadecosmetics@gmail.com
