☄The Wicked Witch - Elphaba Makeup Tutorial

"As someone told me lately -- everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

Elphaba is a phenomenal and lovable character from the novel then Broadway musical: Wicked. Contrary to her regularly recognized persona as the evil 'Wicked Witch of the West' this untold tale goes behind The Wizard of Oz to reveal a heartbreaking story about the witches of Oz.

As you can see, the makeup seen here is not the exact version you will see on Broadway. I decided to create a more playful version by adding more glimmer and color. I chose red lips over green because I love the promotional poster of Wicked where Elphaba is seen with red lips and a small smile, her hat covering her eyes.

I love how you shoot and edit your videos and add music (in addition to applying the makeup). What editing program do you use? Final cut pro?

[TravellersMercy]

Most amazing and beautiful Elphaba ever =) I love your stile of elphie-make up especially the red lipstick, it looks cool =)

Fantastic video <3

How long does it take for the green to dry?

@audfaced there's also a cheap alternative, it's called Monstat chafing relief gel or something, it acts as a primer because it contains a high amount of dimethicone, the same stuff used in primers. :) it costs a fraction of the high end brand primers. HTH! and I love your Elphaba look, I am SO obsessed with Wicked lol!

[ctn04132]

@audfaced I'm not sure whether you know this, but u can actually put moisturizer, but u should put a MAKEUP PRIMER before putting on the foundation. :) the makeup primer prevents the oils from your face mixing with the foundation. It forms a really smooth base so that your makeup really 'glides on'. Good brands are Laura Mercier.
