- SIRENS OF THE SEA -


GILDED SUN SIREN


Ruthmarie aka @the.vintage.raven | Vintage Enthusiast - Sewist - Vlogger- Capricorn



Ruthmarie has once again shown her skills beautiful in make-up, this mermaid was scorched and gilded by the sun. but theres's another story at hand with her sewing of her corset top too. It's inspired by the fins of the Japanese Beta fish and the color gradient is chef's kiss. You can see her costume and makeup breakdown via her blog HERE.

Midnight Moon Siren

Laura at @LauraJadePrado |Illustration Artist - Designer - Blogger - Sagittarius



Did you know that the Full Moon's shining silver light is lucky? The bathe in is a wonderful way to absorb it magical properties and today Laura's Siren is oozing with opulence and luck. The silver and crystal touches throughout her look give it an editorial approach to Sirens and one worth exploring. Learn about her entire makeup and costumes process via her blog HERE.

When it comes to mermaids, sirens and creatures of the sea I'm mesmerized by their iridescent shades and how deeply saturated the tones can be. I always am attracted by the purples, coppers and greens. The way they shine in the water and reflect light, I was feeling the waters of the marsh however. Half water, half saltwater. The way the clay dirt would run like blood. Then when the look was finished it gave this bronzed copper red tone and the girls and I married the elements of their sun and moon and created an Eclipsed Siren...


THE PLAN & INSPO:


For all your seasonal project organization needs, I have fun with my "Living Life Planner" created by Laura from her TWG Designs shoppe, CLICK HERE. For figuring out how to plan your makeup layout or cosplay from scratch, I use RMSewing Emporium planner sheets designed by Ruthmarie, CLICK HERE.


MATERIALS NEEDED:

Find All the Materials in our #frightfemmes section of our AMAZON SHOP CLICK HERE

  • Classic Face of Contour Base but then Bronzer heavy on contours and hairline.

  • Metallic shades of Coral, Copper, Purple, Gold, Green, Berry find my favs HERE.

  • Green Body paint, but recommend adding brown body paint to stipple in and dull down the potential whimsy vibes. Find all my favorite body paints HERE.

  • Lashes, I always cut in half when I have heavy make-up on so you can see the glitter on the center lid.

  • Copper Wig or if you're hair is Red (like me) then play with that find more HERE.

  • Silicone Modeling Compound Kit BUY HERE

  • Crystal Crown, you can either make on like I did HERE or buy a similar one HERE.


The silicone medium was new for me as I've been wanting to try it for some time, instead of reverting to cotton and liquid latex for 3D moments in looks. I find the silicone really great to use for glam looks or opting for seamless finishes. I'm still needing to practice in order to have more finesse, but for todays look I was happy with. I will have to bust out my old fondant cake molds and see if I can make pieces with the compound mixture. It also was really soft on my skin and didn't cause and abrasiveness like other mediums can.

You'll also notice I brought back my gold crystal crown, and to be honest, it's because I was not able to make something new HOWEVER I randomly thought of Moana and that evil hermit crab character. You know the one who adorns all the shiny objects. So I grabbed a bunch of my gold necklaces and started to hang and thread them in. Easy sustainably upcycled crown. LMFAO If i was taking this look out, I would probably add more necklaces and wear a bunch of layered necklaces as well.



I hope you enjoyed our first round of looks on #FRIGHTFEMMES FRIDAYS. Stay tuned for more and for all things spooky and also cozy Halloween vibes, be sure to follow the official #frightfemmes instagram account HERE.
