How to look like a boy???????

How's it going everyone?
So I have to admit, I am a fan of VenusAngelic and go crazy when it comes to how she does her makeup.

 I decided to take her video "How to look like a boy" and give my result and interpretation of her makeup tutorial.

Here is how my makeup looked when I had finished!
The eyebrows I decided to do a little bit thicker like suggested and also darker than my natural hair colour. [In truth I just used a black Stargazer eyeliner!]
 I'm not wearing a wig here either guys!
I tied my hair back (which is about shoulder length) and left my fringe loose, ruffling it up a little to give it that stereotypically rough boy look.
If i was going to use this look for cosplay, i'd either have to pin my hair up pretty well, or resort to the suggestion of wearing a wig! [Which, you probably will have guessed by now, is no problem!]
 



In my interpretation of Venus' tutorial, I chose instead of using the more shimmery colours she originally chose, to use stark and slightly darker natural colours. The picture does make it look darker than it actually is, but the affect is definitely noticeable!
I used a light brown colour on the outside of the eye and inner corner and a light greyish colour for the top of the eye. Admittedly here it does appear like the "dirty skin" look.












As for my lips, I chose to only use the lightest dab of concealer as I think too much can overpower the look. Also, I think the darker contact lenses make a whole lot of difference with this makeup.


Anyway, it was a very fun tutorial to try out and I hope others can get as much fun out of it as I did!
If anyone else has any makeup ideas or tips I would very much love to hear them.
Thanks for reading everyone!
