I just got this AMAZING Makeup package through from Lollipop! I asked her if she could put some items together that would suit my planned cosplay of Princess Celestia! I'm really glad I did, because I'm rubbish at makeup, and Lollipop totally came through for me, she included some beautifully designed ideas and well, since I've finished my classes for today, I thought.. why not!
So I grabbed a mirror and I sat, for pretty much an hour,  (I forget how long decent makeup takes!) and attempted to apply one of the designs.

Extra close up so you can see the amazing colours in this! (although the camera didn't pick up the subtle pink to purple eyeshadow)

Tadaaah!
My Celestia wig came through a few weeks ago, and together, oooh my gosh it looks so good! Soooo worth it!

So massive thank you again, to Lollipop, and here you go girls! Proof that even if you don't do makeup, guided by someone who can you can make some preeetty awesome stuff happen!

Now to use that metallic gold eyeliner EVERY DAAAY WHOO

Wow that looks awesome!!!! I should have her design my makeup for my wedding and masquerade ball costumes! You did a lovely job!!!

[Lollipop]

  it looks very good on you  I am glad you loved everything.

I do love that gold eyeliner  its so sparkly

Few tips I forgot to add on your notes   
 
With the Crystal gems you could either use them as a little line under your lower lashes,
Place one each side on the inner corner of your eyes.
Or... put a gem on the end of each of those flicks (you could also do the inner corner of your eye as well )

The eyeshadow colours should be pretty intense anyway (the eye primer will also help to intensify and keep it on all day) but if you want them even brighter mix a little with toner (you can use water I just found toner works so much better)
To do this put toner on a cotton pad then push your brush against it to get it damp. Then with the loose eyeshadow put a little bit in the lid swirl the brush in it then away you go (test it on your hand first to test the colouring)
With the sponge applicator ones tip a little bit of eyeshadow on the back of your hand or in another lid (or dish) then swirl your brush in it same as before.
For pressed eyeshadows just put the damp brush straight on the eyeshadow, use the brushes at the edges of the eyeshadow (if you find it dries up a little bit it a few weeks just scratch off that layer it is fine underneath )

Thank you for the tips! I will most likely try the other two designs and when I'm confident enough with applying the makeup, I might play around with them a bit! I also want to get faster with applying it all, since I'll need to do this each morning on the convention!

Oh snap! It totally looks like it! And I did consider getting some pale green extensions and adding them in.. but I don't know enough about hair and wigs to mess around with it. I think it'll do fine as it is. (Although there is a temptation to stitch tinsel strands into it! Hehehe)

And thank you all for your kind words! I'll make sure to post my progress on here of Celestia's dress, and I'm also making a Discord outfit for my boyfriend. (Which I'm super paranoid about aaargh) But I won't be able to start work until I've finished Uni for this year. So many deadlines uuuurgh
