FOTD: Barbie Girl
Like a lot of little girly-girls growing up in the USA, I had an immense affinity for Barbie. I must have had at least a dozen of them. I was completely obsessed with her hair, makeup, and wardrobe. (obsession with hair, makeup, and wardrobe has not ceased as an adult) For me, as a second grader, Barbie was the perfect pretty. I was actually quite convinced that when I grew up, I would become blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and slender. Aside from maybe the slender part, the rest of Barbie's characteristics never manifested on me. That's ok! Give me a blonde wig, blue contacts, and a pair of 6" heels and there you go...anything is possible!
Realistically, however, I think a girl can at least get away with Barbie-style makeup. Subtlety and a light hand is key, or else you may end up with this kind of makeup faux pas:
To achieve a softer, wearable version of Barbie's signature look, this is what I used:
Eyes
- Base shadow: Minx by Urban Decay
- Outer corners: Creed by Urban Decay
- Ardell Fashion Lashes #122
Cheeks
- Tickled Pink blush by ELF
Lips
- Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake
This is such a fun and feminine look! Definitely a great way to get that Barbie look without going over-the-top. I can actually go outside like this. For all my fellow Barbie fans out there, this one might be neat to try. :)
Hugs,
Cat
