Dead Cat FOTD

The cat I was nursing last time I posted died a few hours later. RIP Malcolm. It got me down in the dumps for a few days. He is now buried under the willow tree in the back garden. Sad times. The day after, I had work, so I did a cat-eye look. Quite a simple cat-eye. Well, I had to hide my puffy-cried-out eyes somehow.



I used Copperplate and Brule over Soft Ochre paint pot. Black Track Fluidline to line and tightline my eyes (which fyi I'm only just getting used to, I'm a liquid liner kinda gal usually but I use it on customers so much I thought I'd better start practicing whenever I can!) My brows were Studio Sculpt concealer NC20 to blank them out, Vibrant Grape and Atlantic Blue eyeshadows, patted over one another for the gradient effect. Skin is my now favourite combination of Prep+Prime Face Protect SPF50, Prolongwear foundation NC15 and concealer NC20 with MSF Natural in Light Plus to set. Little bit of Desert Rose, little bit of Dame as blusher. Lips are bare. All products are MAC cuz I work there like.

 ...and then the other side. I managed to get them surprisingly equal. But face on photos are not flattering. I'm not symmetrical enough *whine*.


Below is a photo of the little Mally-Mo man, he was black and white and a tramp we rescued and I will love him forever. Even just for how pissed off he made Isobelle (the tabby cat). Here they are in a rare truce time, sitting together on their favourite kitchen chair (that they usually fought over). Aw.

  4. I'm so sorry about your kitty. He probably knows, though, that his last moments were filled with love and you trying your best for him. Your makeup looks awesome and is a great tribute to him.
