The World of Faerie: The Undine





Undines used to be the terrors of the water. Before the mermaid or siren they were luring handsome sailors to their dooms. Now Undines stay silent, brushing their hair, cooing at the beautiful boys who come near the water. They have become pacified by time. They are different from Nixie's and mermaids because they don't have tails or wings though they are a water spirit. They are unusually tall with pale skin and transparent blonde, green or blue hair. Undines usually live up to the North in fresh water lakes. Arthurian legend suggests the Lady of the Lake was an Undine. (Undine was also one of the Monsters in MonsterRanchers btw. I remember cause she was my favorite in the show besides Mochi.)
What I used:
Face-
NYX Jumbo e/s pencil in Milk (Around the eyes and cheeks.)
Hot Topic White Face Powder
Stick on Jems
120 Palette Blue (On the cheek bones; badly.)
Nyx Blush in Pinky

Eyes-
Nyx Jumbo e/s pencil in Milk
120 Palette
-Navy-ish blue (Used to cut the crease)
-Brighter blue (Over the navy blue to brighten color also used on the lower lash.)
-Bright green (Used on the last third of the lid.)
-Softer bright green (Used in the middle of the lid and lower lash.)
-Soft pale aqua (Used on the inner corner of the lid and lower lash.)
Milani eyeliner in black
Cover Girl Lash Blast Muscuuura
Nyx Jumbo eyeshadow Pencil (To Highlight.)
Eyebrows smoothed upwards with a glue stick
Wet N Wild purple eyeliner pencil (Used to outline the eyebrows.)
Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter in Distortion ( Used on the inner part of the lower lash line, on the cheeks and used to highlight the eyebrows.)

Lips-
Evil Shades Lipstick in Fiendish

Alright I'm not sure I completely love this look. The eyebrows were a total fail and I the one spot on my lip never covers up when I use lipstick that's any other color then "Tea Rose." Mermaid or water fairies will be tough to do since most I imagine have blue or green lips. *shakes fist at lips* Hopefully I'll figure out how to work blue lips soon. I think I'm going to try concealing my lips next time.

The World of Faerie: Pookah





Mistakenly I left my huge faerie book at home. So I am left with wikipedia to tell you what a pookah or puca is. I often get the pookah mixed up with a Kelpie but there is a huge difference between the two. Though the both come in the shape of horses the kelpie kills and eats humans while the pookah tries to lead them away from danger or give them advice. The pookah can shape shift into a goat or a dog but they remain black with red eyes.
I decided start this series because frankly there just isn't enough faerie on this blog. I'm going to try and do as many faeries as I can from all over the world. There are a SHIT TON of different types so don't expect this to ever be over haha. There might even be some monster make-up thrown in for the scary flesh eating fae. If you guys have any requests for faeries you like to see done just put them here or on my facebook.

What I used:
Faces-
Hard Candy Concealer Palette
Fyrinnae Mineral Foundation in Opal
NYX Blush in Mocha
Coyt Powder (To highlight.)

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Fyrinnae e/s in The Witche's Brewery (Black with red sparkles used on the lid.)
Fyrinnae e/s in Glitterboi (Shimmery/glittery blue based purple used on the corner of the eye.)
Evil Shades e/s in Heartless Queen (Blue based red used in the crease.)
Morgana Cryptoria e/s in Twinkling Cherries (Yellow Based red used over Heartless to add dimension.)
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean (Used on the waterline and lower lash line then blended.)
Fyrinnae e/s in French Vanilla Shake (Used to highlight of course.)
Milani eyeliner in black (To line the top of the lid.)
Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

I was going to have a small haul post for ya'll but my fiance forgot the package he was suppose to bring me on Saturday. I'll be home for break really soon but right now finals are consuming my life. I should be working on my poetry stuff right now but I needed a small creative break. :D Good luck on your finals if you're a student like me. If you're not a student stay warm. If you live in a warmer climate I'm extremely effing jealous it's cold as balls here. *shivers*
