Daughter of Hades-FOTD




When I was young we started studying Greek mythology in school. I felt drawn to the subject and the idea of Gods and Goddesses who made mortal mistakes. Athena was my favorite, she was strong, brave and smart. All the things I, a cry baby who couldn't stand up for herself,wanted to be like. After we stopped studying my interest in the subject never waned. I had a book on the Greek Gods that literally lost it's binding because I read it so much. I watched Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief today which made me remember my love of the Greek mythos. It was actually really good. I really liked the actors that played the gods. Also Hades as a Metal band member oh my god yes. He looked amazing. Sean Bean was in it as Zeus oh jeez I freaked a bit, I don't know why he was such a douche though.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Evil Shades e/s in Zombie ( Blood stains and gold go great together as an eyeshadow I used this on my lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in The Witches Brewery ( Black based with red shimmer used in the crease.)
Fyrinnae e/s in French Vanilla Shake ( The perfect highlighter shadow used on the brow bone.)
Milani eye liner in Black
N.Y.C. eyeliner in black
Mascara

lips-
Estee Lauder Lipstick in Filmstar

What's your favorite mythos? Your favorite legend or tall tale?

  3. I'm currently in the middle of the Percy Jackson series, trying not to watch the movie til I finish the books.

    Zombie looks like such a sophisticated shade!

  4. Gorgeous look!
    And isn't Zeus always a bit of a douche? He was always changing into a bull and raping women or something :P

    Phyrra- Thank you! I really love red eyeshadows, they are so unique and flattering.

    Reeree- I really have to read those books. >.< Library here I come!

    Lillian- Thanks and Zeus was a whole bunch of shit to woe women. He even turned into a "golden slant of light" to impregnate this lady that was trapped in a tower. He's a player yo.

    The Peach- Thanks, I'd love to see it on you. It's a good natural crease color if you apply it lightly. :D

  8. I need to watch the movie, but I can't really bring myself to do it since I know they've changed it so much :X

    Hades is one of my favourite Gods though, I feel bad for him because of Zeus tricking him into having to rule the Underworld, and everybody hates him and thinks he causes death when he doesnt =/

    And Zombie is such a great shade <3
