Maleficent Makeup Look X Angelina Jolie Cheekbones

Guess which Disney villain I am today? I have yet to watch the movie, but when I saw the promo pics for Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie, my first thought was "dang, I gotta recreate something like that"... and so here we are. :) 

It's kind of funny because I showed a guy friend this makeup look, and he's like "wtf. that's scary."... GOOD. I'm supposed to be a scary villain not a cute little princess, so I guess I did my job in recreating look and feel of Maleficent.

At a glance, the Maleficent makeup look is actually quite simple in the movie. Neutral brown eye shadows, heavy contour (really, really heavy) and a red lip. I decided that instead of neutrals, I'd play around with greens to better enhance the colour of the green contacts from Angel Contacts. 

EYES: 

< colour contacts > angel contacts geo tri-tone green circle lenses*

< brows > marcelle eyebrow pen*

< cream base > annabelle retractable eyeliner in peacock* 

< shadows > madison street beauty eyeshadow in golden olive / mary kay mineral color in stone*

< liners > annabelle smoothliner in jade* (waterline) / annabelle eye ink in black* (cat eye)

< mascara > annabelle big show mascara* 

LIPS: 

< lipstick > covergirl lip perfection in hot passion*

< gloss > almay liquid lip balm in just plum*

FACE: 

< foundation > covergirl outlast stay fabulous 3-in-1 foundation in warm beige*

< sculpting > MAKEUP FOR EVER sculpting kit in #2 */ mary kay mineral color in stone*

Yes, the eyes were a lot of work, but it's most certainly also about the contouring. Rather than just plain old sculpting, I traced my fish-face jaw line with a bit of the Mary Kay Mineral Eye Colour in Stone for extra definition and then went on to blend it out with the MAKE UP FOR EVER Sculpting Kit. I probably could have gone a LOT more dramatic, but the contour that I did do was even a little much for me. 

I'm superbly pleased with how everything turned out. This was my first experience with coloured contacts and I think they look a little creepy on me (in a good way). In some ways, this look could be wearable on a night out if you took away the ridiculous contour or maybe the red lip. How do you think I did? 

Have you watched Maleficent? What did you think?
