Quetzal

Hey, all. Sorry today's post is late once again. Today was probably the worst day of my life. u_u  Luckily, I did something rather creative and elaborate and colorful. :) Doing makeup is like therapy for me. My inspiration for today's look was the brilliantly colored plumage of the quetzal.



This here, is a quetzal. A bird prominently found in Central America (and Guatemala's national bird). It is known for it's colorful feathers, it is the bird representative of the Aztec God, Quetzalcoatl and if you cage this poor little darling, it dies from lack of freedom. (In that case, it should probably be America's national bird. :p)






After I prepped my skin, I drew threw rigdes right next to my eyes with black liquid liner to look like the wings and the looong tail under both eyes. I used the Pro Palette and filled in the inner corners with a bluish medium green. Then, I put shimmery royal blue on the rest of the eye and the outer corners. I put matte red on top of the blue in the outer corners, then.






I filled in the "wings" heavily with the bluish medium green and used a little bit of black on the tips of the "wings". Then, I put shimmery royal blue on the top portion of the tail, bluish medium green on the bottom portion and blended in the middle. I finished with mascara and peachy-orange lip gloss. :)
