Inspired Look: 2ne1's CL and Kat Von D

I did an inspired look of both icons that I love but not on myself. There are times that I want to apply makeup on my face but the camera and my face itself were not in the mood, and I couldn't do it well. Sigh..

I asked my two cousins if I can paint their face for a day. First look is inspired by 2ne1's baddest female and their Leader CL. The photo is from their photo shoot from the famous designer Jeremy Scott and the inspired look for my cousin Shane.

I couldn't remember some of the stuffs I used coz as far as I remember we did this point and

shoot thing around August or September of last year, but what I precisely remember is that there's supposed to be a lip tattoo very much similar to CL's, but when I applied it on Shane's lower lip it looked pretty bad, the horizontal lines didn't go well and looked too big,

so I used a white eyeliner, white eyeshadow and black gel liner instead.

For Kim I tried to recreate and be inspired by what Kat Von D looked at 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I've always been wanting to do a makeup look like hers but I failed to do so..Fortunately it looked good on my cousin, more importantly, her signature tattoo, the stars on her left temple.
