Anyone who knows me well knows my love for a fairytale. They also know my love for the misunderstood villain. Ursula the Sea Urchin- perhaps she wasn't comfortable in her own skin or with that deviously, raspy voice. The Wicked Witch of the West?!?Duh, a house was dropped on her sister AND the pretty ruby red slippers slipped from her green-handed grasp. I believe the writers of Sex and the City expressed it best thru the character Miranda Hobbes completely understanding why the old woman in "Hansel and Gretel" wanted to put those children in her oven- they were attempting to eat her house for goodness sake.
Over the weekend, I saw the film "Beastly" starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Neil Patrick Harris and Mary Kate Olsen. In short, "Beastly" is a remake of "Beauty and the Beast." I did not expect much from the movie, however "Beauty and the Beast" is one of my favorite fairytales and I am a huge fan of the Olsen sisters.
What stood out most about the flick was just how fierce Mary-Kate Olsen was as the witch Kendra. It is rare that a villain ever gets to look as great as Mary Kate did.
The essentials to this look: a teasing comb, a great black eyeliner (my faves are MAC kohl power in Feline and Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero), a pale, nude lipstick ( MAC Honeylove, Peachstock, and Creme de Nude are amazing!) a bent eyeliner brush and gel eyeliner for drawing a hex of sorts on your face (I love both Smashbox and Sonia Kashuks bent eyeliner brushes and nothing beats MAC fluidline in Blacktrack) the essential black nailpolish (Chanel Black Satin or China Glaze Liquid Leather) and we can not forget Kendra's structured black tops, stiletto heels and black bobbed wig.
Kendra wore approximately 3 makeup looks in the film- the bad witch, the good witch, and a Halloween look as shown below:
I think this look needs a crimping iron (thats right, I went there) and a cranberry colored eyeshadow (MAC Cranberry) and perhaps a burnt red, orange lipstick such as MAC Fresh Moroccan.
