Violet Baudelaire | A Series of Unfortunate Events | Makeup

  Dear Readers,

 If you are interested in posts with happy endings then I suggest you find another blog to read. Not only does this post have no happy ending, it also has no beginning and very few happy parts in the middle. I advise you to look away because this post and tutorial are filled with nothing but misery and woe.

(Where is book the fifth?)

In case you haven't figured it out from the title of this post or my very nearly plagiarized introduction, my makeup look this week is from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events book series that has recently been adapted into a show by Netflix (talk about a run on sentence).

I have been a fan of this series since I was a young teenager and was thrilled when I saw Netflix's adaption. Season one and two are currently available to stream and I highly recommend you give this dreadful show a watch.

The series centers on the three Baudelaire children who lose their parents in a fire and are forced to live with a less than suitable guardian named Count Olaf who is only interested in getting his hands on the Baudelaire fortune.

Through a series of unfortunate events the Baudelaire orphans encounter many different guardians and find themselves in the middle of a mystery involving a secret organization that holds the answer to the many questions surrounding their parents demise, all while being pursued by the treacherous Count Olaf. The word pursued used here means chased through land, sea, air, mountainous terrane, and a host of other locales.

 Read the books, watch the show, become a volunteer, join the mystery.

My makeup look is based on the eldest child, Violet Baudelaire. Violet is portrayed by Malina Weissman in the Netflix show.

Violet is fourteen in the series and doesn't where much, if any makeup.

So my strategy was to attempt the flawless skin and wide-eyed look that Malina has as Violet, and pretty much all the time.

Very few products were involved in this look. I used two shadows; one to highlight, one for color and contour.

I tried to contour and highlight my face to make it more similar to her face shape.
