Great Gatsby Look Book: Jordan Baker

Hi Pandas! Welcome to the second installment of my Great Gatsby makeup looks, where I am taking looks from the 2013 film based off the book, and making them just a little bit easier to wear.
 
This post centers on the lively Jordan Baker
 
 
While Daisy's look is a classic spin on something natural, Jordan had the darkest eye makeup in the movie, which was fun to play around with.
 
 
Her look is mostly metallic smoky eyes, some blush, and a berry lip. Simple, but pretty.
 
 
Altogether, this look took me under 10 minutes, and keep in mind that I don't have her gorgeous 20's bob, but the makeup can look equally awesome on anyone.
 
The Products:
 
 
1. The eye look was made entirely with the Khroma Beauty Kim's Kardazzle Palette. I used the black matte shade, the metallic silver, and the metallic white, blended together.
2. To add some color to my cheeks, I brushed on a very light layer of Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino.
3. Jordan's lashes are so fluttery, so I added some falsies. Katy Perry Lashes by Eyelure in Darling were perfect!
4. For the berry lips, I swiped on Tarte Lipsurgence in Pouty, a sparkling raspberry.
 
 
This look can easily be created with your own products, and falsies are optional if you do not have the time nor patience!
 
 
Here are two close ups of the eyes. You can blend the smoky eye in whatever way you want, but I chose a wash of metallic color and a little crease definition. I would also suggest liner, even though I have none on.
 
 
I think this is a perfect easy-going night out look. Just use your favorite foundation under it all and you are good to go! A grey smoky eye and a berry lip are also easier to pull off than harsh black and a red lip.
 
 
 And of course, the black and white, trying to be from the 20's picture!
 
 
I hope you liked this look! Stay tuned for the last of the series!

Great Gatsby Look Book: Daisy Buchanan

Hi Pandas! I am so excited for this post. As promised, and stemming from my obsession of the Great Gatsby recently reignited by the new movie, I decided to bring you guys some looks based on the movie/character makeup.
 
The first is Daisy Buchanan
 
 
I had such a fun time with this look. As we all know, Daisy Buchanan is Jay Gatsby's love and Carey Mulligan only emphasizes her perfection.
 
 
 
 
These are the pictures that I based the look off of. Daisy's makeup is simple but glamorous, with well-defined brows, black liner, pink/red lips, and her drawn on beauty mark.
 
 
Here are the products I used:
 
1: M.A.C Beauty Powder (LE/Barbie) in Pearl Blossom but any light pink blush will do.
2: Too Faced Boudoir Eyes for a light and natural look.
3: Physicians Formula Organic Wear FakeOut mascara (2 coats).
4: L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Grey to create Daisy's smudged-out eye.
5: NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner for the beauty mark.
6. L'Oreal Color Riche Caress in Infinite Fuschia
 
 
The eyes are one of my favorite parts of Daisy's look because they are simple and clean, and almost everyone has the tools for a simple black winged liner.
 
 
Make your lips the focal point of the look, and don't let the beauty mark intimidate you. The smaller you create it, the easier it is to wear in public. Just make sure to use a very pigmented and water-resistant black liquid liner (if you want it to stand out) or pencil if you want it to look more natural.
 
 
On my nails I am wearing Julep Zora from the 20's collection that debuted last month, which was a perfect fit for this look!
 
 
 
And a black and white photo with my pearl headpiece and me pretending to be from the 20's.
 
I really hope you enjoyed this little look book of pictures inspired by the Great Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. Will you try out the look?

Panda-Monium Mondays! Vol. 2

How is everyone doing this week? Any big plans or anything special? I am currently taking care of a cat and we have a love/hate relationship. Well...we basically had a standoff yesterday involving a cardboard box. So yeah...

If I could adopt this Panda and make him PrettyPanda's official mascot, I would

 
 
 
Has anyone else rushed over to Walmart for the release of Hard Candy's new polishes? I am loving the speckled ones, but my Walmart is kinda barren, so I will be checking them out online.
 
 
 
As far as things unrelated to beauty go, this week I am pretty much beyond hyped for the new Great Gatsby film. A friend and I went to the movies this weekend (saw Dark Skies, if you are a horror lover, check it out!) and saw this preview. I am thinking about doing a 20's inspired look soon! Also, I love the music in the trailer!
 
 
Happy Monday Pandas!
