Gothic lolita and aristocrat hair and make up tutorial - for a photoshoot, by iiraliina

Hello, everyone!

I made this video earlier as an arts project with a theme "How can make up change a person's looks" and the whole idea of the video was to use a lot of make up, so I came up with the idea of doing something lolita and aristocrat related and use this make up for a photoshoot (that wasn't held afterall). I don't usually use this much make up even when I wear lolita, but I think that, as cameras tend to eat most of the details from a persons face, this would be suitable for a photoshoot. :)

Here you can see how much women (and men) can change their looks by using make up and hair products. And, actually, for many women it's quite hard to show their face to anyone without make up. For some make up is a shield, but for me it's something that I find fun to do, so I hope that you find this video atleast a bit funny. I wanted to show this video to you as so many people asked me to upload a tutorial online. So, I hope you like it. :)

It's also possible to make a lighter version out of this make up by leaving some parts away. For example, I usually like to use less eye shadow and leave my eyebrows white (I DO have eyebrows, but they are white and I don't want to dye them as I like them as they are). I don't usually use as much blush either. From this video I left my circle lenses and fake eyelashes away because due to my hay fever my eyes are incredibly dry.

And, once again, I feel incredibly silly infront of a camera. It feels just too funny to upload videos of yourself doing make up on Youtube. Haha, anyways, I hope you enjoy. Atleast my arts teacher was shocked how much my looks changed with make up. Personally I think I look like a tranny, haha. However, it was fun.

I hope you all have a nice day! feel free to comment and give concrit. I highly appreciate honest and politely given critique. :)

Hiii :D you're super cute >w< and... I don't want you to get offended or anything but... do you eat well? just because you're super pretty but I think you are too skinny, and I don't know... I'm just worried, don't get offended by this, and I know that there are people who eat and they stay skinny but I don't know... I'm just wondering if you are ok. By the way, sorry if my english is bad, I'm learning. And don't get offended please, is just that I'm worried.

@FreyjaSorensen Hello, and thank you for your lovely comment! :) I'm truly touched by what you said as it is so rare nowadays to bump into people who care of others the way you do. Don't worry, I'm not offended. I'm actually quite moved by your words. <3 However, I want you to know that I do eat well and I don't have an eating disorder, so no worries. A åerson before you asked about my health too and I told that I lost a big mount of weight due to getting very sick before and...

[iiraliina]

@FreyjaSorensen ...having a strong medication for it. Things are getting better noiw and I'm slowly gainig weight back to what it used to be (I have always been very thin anyways) and my health is better than i a long time. :) Thank you for caring so much. I appreciate your words.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

hello there ^^ I was just wondering, where did you get the hair and are the pearls really hair items or is it a necklace put on hair clips? :D very cute make up and hair! I am so jealous </3 D:

[iiraliina]

@xromanticxshadowx Hello, hello! :) Thank you for your lovely comment.

I have got my hair extensions from eBay.com and most of my wigs are from Taobao.com or eBay. And most of the hair items I have are either self-made, bought from very random shops such as H&M, smaller vintage stores and eBay. I have a lot of hair items from different lolita brands as well. The pearls are just regular necklace that I put on with pins. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

@pookababy2694 Hello there! Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm delighted to hear that you liked the make up and tutorial. <3

I do take commissions for chokers and I'm currently selling a choker on my blog at rosanitida.blogspot.com You can see more of the items that I make there as well. :)

I'm also trying to make a video about how to make them and other smaller items, but the quality of my camera is so bad at the moment that it didn't work when I took video last time. So, we will see. :)

for your damaged hair you should look for a deep conditioner and leave it in for 2 hours then rince it i know one of my friends constantly dyes and straightens her hair so this is the best solution :D
