Fierce Friday: Nicki Minaj Inspired Makeup Tutorial (Boys MV)

Hi.

So my intention was to try to do the makeup as close to Nicki's in the Boys MV. 

But I guess it felt like so long since I went really dramatic and did something out of the box; that well, I kinda went "out of control". #lol

These pictures were what inspired me:

And this was what I came up with:

I tried to do the signature animated Nicki Minaj facial expressions; but it just wasn't working......... #lol

Remind me not to sign up for any modelling contract. #haha

Products used:

Base/Blush:

• Missha Radiance Pore Primer
• Revlon Colorstay Makeup (Warm Golden)*
• MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NC40)* 
• MAC Studio Finish Concealer (NC35)
• MAC Prep+Prime Highlighter (Forecast)
• MAC Sheer Select Loose Powder (NC15)** 
• MAC Sheer Select Loose Powder (NC20)
• Missha The Style Smudge Proof Wood Brow (Dark Brown)
• theBalm Bahama Mama'
• theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer'
• Kryolan Cake Make Up (Ivory 2)' 
• Coastal Scents Double Stacked Palette (1st row, 3rd blush)''

*I am in the midst of "getting rid" of these foundations. The Revlon one is too light and rosy for me while the MAC one is too dark for me.

**I used this to "cook" my undereye area.

'I used Bahama Mama to contour (according to my face shape) and the Mary-Lou Manizer to highlight on the bridge and the tip of my nose. For the Kryolan Cake Make Up, I used it to highlight my forehead and cheekbones.

Eye:

• MAC Paint Pot (Painterly)

• MAC Chromographic Pencil (Process Magenta)

• Urban Decay Electric Palette (Savage)

• MAC Pigment Colour Powder (Fuchsia)

• White Glitter

• Urban Decay Eyeshadow (Sellout)

• Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (Strange)

• Maybelline Hypersharp Penliner (Black)

• DiorShow New Look Mascara

• MAC In Extreme Dimension Mascara (Black Extreme)

Lips:

• MAC Lip Pencil (Hip 'N' Happy)

• OCC Matte Lip Tar (Rollergirl)^

• OCC Stained Gloss Lip Tar (Rhythm Box)^

• OCC Lip Tar (Hollywood)^

^I mixed these colours together to get as close to Nicki's lip colour as possible. 

I really like how this turned out. 

Anyways, for this post, I didn't include a tutorial because I figured this look was too dramatic; and it fell more on the fashion makeup category as opposed to Halloween or Theatrical makeup.

I mean, nobody wants to recreate a makeup look more suited for fashion, right? 

Do comment down below or on any of my social media sites if you want a tutorial for this makeup look. ;)

Hope this helps.

Till then.

Ida
